Enjoying my time catching up on comics. Gone through like a decade's worth of Fantastic Four in the last couple of weeks and I've finally reached the beginning Hickman's run.

Awesome, thanks so much for the quick answer!

Very helpful to know, much appreciated!

By that, do you mean I can more or less ignore the UPS in the calculation once it's charged? Just count the PC and monitor?

 

So, I'm trying to calculate the theoretical max wattage of everything plugged into my outlet. (Only have one wall socket in this room and need to carefully manage what's connected.)

I've currently got a 1000VA UPS (which is rated for 600W at full load, which, despite using for three years, I've recently discovered firsthand is already too low) which I use for my PC and monitor.

Since I'm going to need to be upgrading that soon to at least a 1200VA or 1400VA UPS for a new PC build (and probably should before a the new build anyway), I'm curious about how to calculate total usage for everything drawing power.

My question really is, when calculating how much power is being drawn from the wall outlet in addition to the regular stuff (chargers, etc.), do I only calculate the UPS, do I not include the UPS in the calculation, or do I calculate all three (PC PSU, monitor, UPS)?

Obviously, not everything is at full load, so I won't be drawing that much, but this is just a theoretical calculation of potential full load.

I enjoyed BotW, but I knew from the moment I saw the "let's go Lego!" mechanics in TotK that I probably wouldn't enjoy it at all.

Just really don't like building mechanics in games. Or crafting. And the crafting was already pushing it in BotW. This is just amped up to eleven.

Comics... Equally enjoyable as they are frustrating (crossovers and reading orders make things unnecessarily complicated).

Other than that, pain and fatigue. Didn't want this year to be like last year, but it seems many appointments are on the horizon.

Should be.

3.0.0 RC3 is already the version being used in the Trixie (Testing) repo, and there's a little under 30 days now to release the final version before the soft freeze next month.

I also love SpaceHey. I made my profile to be Tina Horse Girl infauated with BUTTS from Bob's Burgers.

I kind of miss when MySpace was essentially the least terrible social network we had.

It had a myriad of problems inherent in social networks (some extremely serious), but it was a veritable paradise compared to the pure anger and outrage that fills social media these days.

By default, LibreWolf disables Widevine and the Cisco OpenH264 library plugins, but you can easily enable them in the settings.

Some Linux distros also don't enable those plugins in their native Firefox builds (I believe Fedora is one example, but my info may be outdated), though they can usually be enabled manually without much issue (might need to download a couple of extra packages, not certain).

So it depends on the distro and build.

On Windows, that isn't an issue, though. At least not for vanilla Firefox and pretty much all Chromium browsers.

Safari on MacOS has its own DRM. Not quite sure how it's implemented on sites that use Widevine (Netflix) because they still work, but Safari doesn't use Widevine at all (except on iOS for some reason).

I'm glad I live somewhere that's never had daylight savings. The concept still perplexes me.

I've been having fun with comics again. It's been way too long since I've spent several hours a day reading them. Unfortunately, it appears my fatigue doesn't like that too much, so there are many breaks necessary, otherwise I burn out.

Still, it's nice.

After a two-ish week break, I'm playing Marvel Rivals again. Completely disabling all chat (mainly text because I've always disabled voice anyway) does wonders. (The fact that I never had to disable text chat on Overwatch perplexes me. Even when it went F2P, I didn't have to deal with half the shit I see in MR.)

I don't play comp, so it doesn't really matter much.

Might start up Reviver or The Operator later. Loved both demos when I played them a while ago, so I think I'll enjoy those.
