If you do compile something, it is very easy to make it an installable package you could share. I’m not sure how the repos are managed

Can I request a hack? How do I handle several different versions of Python installed, which one is used for pip stuff, and how sudo/running as services changes all of this.

I’m uninformed, why were things like snap and flatpak created?

I barely understand docker, but I’m starting to understand why it can be beneficial, although bloated.

I chose to set up grafana, mqtt, etc for an RV instead of home assistant. Little more lightweight for the raspberry pi 3 I used. Pulling together solar info, so we could see how long the AC would keep running on the road

KiCAD for circuit boards FreeCAD to import those boards and do everything else

Mint is great. It also works well out of the box in virtual machines. I like the MATE versions for my older machines.

There is a major shift happening right now, and mint is slower than many to adopt changes. I’d argue that’s good for mint users, but it may be bad for you personally if you plan to learn about modern linux. Idgaf personally about X11 vs Wayland, because I just need to be able to use my programs.

There’s university programs and even guys in their garages who do a lot of the processes in small batches on very old nodes. For example, a material science program may be trying to find new transistor materials, where the nodes don’t matter much. ASML is not the only tooling manufacturer, but they are very good at it. EUV sources are very complicated, so that is a large barrier to overcome. Many smaller outfits like Qorvo run fabs in North America that you may not know about. Clean rooms are a requirement, but that’s not a significant barrier at the very small scale (an entire university may only have one, most experiments done outside of it). Nothing is done by a single machine, it takes an entire building of machines (and supporting facilities)

Are the entire blueprints for Airbus’s manufacturing facilities open to the public?

If you are interested in broad concepts that are surprisingly similar processes in a factory, I might suggest watching printed circuit board factory tours. Lithography is lithography.

Real gamer move

Framework. They even have a factory seconds store, if you don’t need a perfect screen.

I hope the homeassistant guys already have this covered, because I didn’t use it 4 years ago to know

I mainly use them when I want something windowed but without tabs taking up space. Like monitoring my solar panels

Any idea how to get links clicked in a PWA like Google Messages to open in a normal browser tab? I’ve tried nothing.

If you are concerned about things like PWAs like I was, try it out anyway. PWAs require a bit more setup, but are a lot more flexible in Firefox. For example, PWAs with http connections have a huge banner in Chrome, and just an icon in Firefox. Everything I’ve noticed is that firefox is just as snappy as Chrome

Ah yes the classic “why are you using a feature, it’s your fault for wanting it to work”. Thanks. So helpful.

If a practically brand new flagship like the Pixel 6 has more bugs than an ancient iPhone XR, I don’t think base Android can survive much longer. Basic functionality like YouTube PiP and theming glitch out regularly. Not to mention extended features like bubbles in Messages being broken since day one. Sure, I can sideload on Android, but if that comes to iPhone…

I can’t seem to make $200 per year for a device work out with Android anymore. The pixel 6 should last 3 years in my opinion, but support for the 6 has been limited since the pixel 7 came out. Even at $900, I think the iPhone could prove to be a better deal with 6 years of support backed by a history of keeping such promises. USB-C, RCS, Sideloading are all I’ve been waiting for.

I’m pretty close to switching to iPhone.

I think I had a similar problem a couple weeks ago. Make sure they are adding the device to your tailnet, by default it adds the new machine to their own tailnet. I know I hit some kind of issue like that, at least.
