  • Yes, but it isn’t available (yet). The pebble 2 duo does not, but it has already shipped. I don’t know how many are still available and/or will be made.

    Currently the app also has zero support for anything health-related, including sleep. If that will be fixed by the time the pt2 is shipping, who knows. This is probably not a huge problem for op, as he’s explicitly searching for a watch without smartphone reliance.

    Even in the old app and on the old pebble watches, anything health related was an afterthought at best, and it also isn’t a focus of it officially. The new ones are using the same OS, so are incredibly similar. Which is generally a good thing, but also includes the lack of features related to anything “health”.






  • Just one more aspect to add to the other replies that I didn’t see mentioned: the most common use of this is with online multiplayer games like Mobas (lol, dota2) or ability/arena shooters (overwatch, valorant), where the developer will actually make changes to the balance, or add/remove items, heroes, … Here “the meta” will often shift with any major patch. As an example, they might adjust the items that give health and/or armor because front liners aren’t effective enough, and maybe they overtune it a bit, leading to a “tank meta” because now tanky characters can fulfill roles they weren’t even intended for (just as a random example).

    But also things like tabletop games (Warhammer) have seasonal rulesets where this can apply.

    It can even apply to Singleplayer games like Baldurs Gate 3 (as a recent example). In these cases the meta often refers to very efficient, good working character builds (class selection, level order and items) that have usually been figured out by the community over time. In that case the meta is generally more fixed or stable, as the game doesn’t receive maybe balance updates every few months.





  • No one is going to get a tape measure out

    You clearly don’t know Germans. Yes they will. They already do. You’re not allowed to park within 5m of an intersection, which the people in charge of checking and giving tickets will absolutely measure. There are many other instances where distances are involved like this. They already carry a tape measure (or equivalent) for this exact reason. Adding one more case just fits the theme.







  • CachyOS is basically vanilla Arch, from a resource point of view. They have their own repos, but they just mirror the arch repos. The arch wiki fully applies. For the very few special things, there is documentation (basically a few notes on gaming related performance options).

    So why use it? Carter it’s trivial to install, and everything you need is preconfigured to just work with sane defaults. Installing it is like Mint or Ubuntu. But it uses optimized repos according to your available CPU instruction set, and optimized proton and wine (their own). Games just work (even more so than they already do generally), and are faster. Programs are faster (where it matters). But you don’t need to do anything for that, it’s just there by default.




  • While that is still true, unless you spin them up many times a day, it’s a non-issue. Set your timeout to at least 30 minutes. Most jellyfin servers are not gonna be used fir many hours at night, for example. Or when everyone is at work/school.

    These days, power is expensive for have people. If I keep my drives spinning 24/7, it’ll cost me around 150€ per year. If they spin when needed, it’ll cost me whatever percentage they are spinning, so in practice they are on for like 1-3 hours a day. So let’s say 20€ per year.


  • Tailscale is WireGuard under the hood, if you didn’t know. It’s an overlay network that uses WireGuard to make the actual connections, and has some very clever “stuff” to get the clients actually to connect, even if behind firewalls without needing port forwarding.

    Using WireGuard directly basically just changes the app you use, which may or may not help with your issues. But the connecting technology is the exact same.
