Looks interesting. Marked it for exploration. Too many cool projects to explore and not enough time!

We’re being forced to move everyone to W11 by the end of the year. It’s gonna be hell.

This is the thing I hate most about windows. Did it register the thing I clicked? Is something happening? If I click again will it do the task twice? Complete opposite of how my Mac works.

They’re too long. Geez, learn to implement shorthand or acronyms. What are you a monster?

This is the year of Firefox-on-the-desktop. I can feel it.

Can you not just modify the paths to sync a dir to one and a dir to the other? Maybe there’s a sorting system, such as a plex library that you don’t want to break up, but I think you can point a system like that at a higher dir and have it sort things out and understand? Sounds like you need to silo your data.

You could file an issue on the service (hub / lab) asking the devs how they’d most appreciate the approach. Wish I had a better answer regarding the mechanics, but it might be appropriate to flag the maintainer regardless.

Which is why I said that I’m a purist. But whatever works, they’re both worth exploring. I got dug-in on my solution a decade ago and haven’t really had a reason to change once I learned it.

Pfsense. I’m a purist.

You should be able to have multiple versions with an environment manager, maybe customize your shell profile to alias python to the one you want and the other users can alias to the one they want. I’m sure there’s a better way, but I strongly dislike python every time I try to learn it because Perl was the first language I learned, ruining me for strongly opinionated languages.

Linode, Digital Ocean. I’ve worked with both in the past, but that was years ago so I don’t know how things are now.

I saw something a few days ago where they were said to have mass-replaced the name of the software with their new name (in the code). Supposedly, little or nothing else changed. Y Combinator used to be better than this, at least I thought they were.

I think it enraged everyone, but when you’re already using a more secure system (Linux), the whiplash isn’t so surprising. Speaking as a non-Windows user, so just my outside observation.

As others have said, keep finding and building projects for yourself. Maybe get this book if you don’t have ideas of things you can build: Exercises for Programmers: 57 Challenges to Develop Your Coding Skills

Checked one of mine:

# get path to the download directory

Oh, ok.

I’m sorry, I don’t think I understand what’s happening here…

It shows how polished Linux has become

Did you read what you wrote?

configured the ethernet interface as a private interface, installed the DHCP server so I could do away with the router

Yeah, you and I can do this. Most people can’t. Yes, Linux has become more accessible. Most people still can’t do this.

Also, we’re in beta

That means there might be a few hiccups along the way. If you run across any problems you can always let us know, and we’ll do our best to fix them.

I would have thought this is a disqualifier in terms of quality of the service, but if that’s acceptable to you then I’m glad you got something that works.

The kitties are still slightly suspicious after we left them for five days to visit family (a friend came to check on them). The little one just jumped up and back down after about ten seconds. That’s what’s happening here.

Agreed, and well-articulated. I think you (OP) need to ask yourself whether you’re willing to pay the appropriate market rate for the service or not. I don’t know what that is, but I expect it’s higher than you’ve expressed.
