Oh it’s very popular in the automotive industry, especially for the in vehicle infotainment like navigation, radio, media playerand so on. They even offer a automotive specific version of it:

Sadly most of the OEMs slowly move to Android.

I worked a bit on the previous version of Neptune UI https://doc.qt.io/archives/neptune3ui/ wit QML and I worked mostly with integration of https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager/ into different cars. But I stayed in Sweden for that.

I like their UX, the button doesn’t say “Share screen” but “Make Selection”. On Element my dad every time has such a hard time to share the screen because even though he did it already a hundred times, he presses the share screen button and then waits, without choosing which window or screen to share.

I did it for a year or so, exactly the same thing, I have a bunch of websites and other services like matrix, mastodon, peertube running on that server.

I found out the hard way that Lemmy is really not optimized for single user instances on a small VPS. In the beginning it was OK but the more they optimized for big instances like Lemmy.world and .ml the word it ran with few resources.

In the end it was so bad that it would Hogg all the servers resources and bring the whole server down every couple of hour so that I had to hard reboot it.

The worst part was that this impacted alł my other services and websites which went down with it every couple of hours. I tried to get a beefier server but that only helped until the next update.

In the end I switched to Piefed and couldn’t be happier. It uses a lot less resources as a single user instance so I could downgrade the server again and it’s written in python so I can much easier help working on it, no need to compile anything, etc. And it has a cool template engine which let’s you easily modify how it looks and feels.

That’s an interesting idea, need to check if they offer some kind of a API for that.

But then there is this other thing, what about dns cache?

I always create a virtual environment for each project I run like that. This way you can have your own versions of packages for each project without them interfearing with each other. This is also what the error message sugests in the beginning, so if you have the time I would investigate it and learn about it: https://python.land/virtual-environments/virtualenv

For 10k rows you should probably use a real database anyway ;)

I use office 360 in the browser.
I’m not a typical sysadmin but I use linux anyway. Somehow I always found some workarounds, but I am also not the only one using Linux in our company so the IT needs to work with us to some degree.

yt-dlp is a command line tool but amazing. Works also on windows.

I use radicals for CalDAV and save notes there together with my calendars. On Android there is jtx Board which let’s you work with them. Sadly on Linux I couldn’t find anything so I started writing something myself but don’t have much time to work on it https://github.com/jeena/JNotes

OK, I switched to that one now, thanks for pointing it out and explaining it.

Nvidia and Linux don’t play well. Also if you are able to add a little bit more I bought a new Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 14" with a AMD Ryzen processor and without Windows but instead there was FreeDOS preinstalled for $440.

I just installed linux on it and everything worked perfectly for 3 years now, I’m very happy with it. It’s not the most powerful, so I can’t edit videos on it, but I can play Minecraft, I can program, use the browser with all Microsoft 350 stuff and so on without any problems.

Are there RISC V Laptops available on the market? And I wonder how many of my daily apps would run on it. I guess the most important would be a browser.

Ah, I didn’t make it a link to be clickable, sorry, fixed it now for everyone else ^^

I think you should be able to click on the image and make it bigger.

I use KeePassXC and use syncthing to sync the database to each devise I own. This way I always have the newest version if the database everywhere and don’t need to worry about Internet access at all.

Many many years ago I switched from OS X back to Linux and had to find alternatives: https://jeena.net/why-i-switchedfrom-osx-to-linux

For the three software you point as a must have there are alternatives, even those you’d not think of:

• Visual Studio - Stop writing .NET web applications, there are so many other web frameworks around you don’t really need .NET
• Notepad++ - It’s a steep learning curve but Vim and Emacs give you all and more freedom than Notepad++
• Excel - You can use the 365 version in the browser, that is what I do at work
• OneDrive works through the browser again, but there are alternatives like Nextcloud, Syncthing, Seafile

I would suggest you have a look of immich.

• Search filters ✓
• Date ✓
• Place ✓
• Object/person recognition ✓
• Text recognition ✗
• Live Photo support ✓
• Ease of importing ✓
• Album support ✓, including smart albums ✗
• Built-in touch ups ✗
• General stability ✓

It also has mobile apps to do the backup and as a frond end on the phone. And what I really like is you can mount in your existing external libraries without copying all the pictures in and they will just be integrated automatically.
