Yeah, but then you have to use Evolution.

Maybe, after a few months (or a year, as I may or may not have experienced) of "communication" you'll be allowed to use Thunderbird. Only for it to be suddenly blocked again later because some dude didn't understand why can't everyone just use Outlook.

And don't even dream of having a script to, say, sort and preprocess your mail.

Recently had an electric Fiat 500 as a replacement while my car (Mazda 3) was in service and I absolutely loved how it drives. Nice consistent acceleration, immediate reaction to the throttle. Much better than the automatic transmission cars I drove before. 3 problems though:

  • range (duh): I often need to drive for 280km in one go, vast majority of EVs can't do that reliably (with AC and going 130km/h). If you can survive a day on one charge it is awesome though: plug it overnight and you're ready to go in the morning
  • the price of the car (it felt waaay too simple and plastic-y inside compared to 30K euro price I googled)
  • big brother software on the headunit, although there is no escape from it with any new car these days

I'd go for HLS due to its simplicity: just files over http(s). VPN or not - depends on your network. If your machine is accessible from the internet, just putting the files into a webserver subdirectory with a long random path and using https will be secure enough for the usecase. Can be done with an ffmpeg oneliner.

The downside of HLS is the lag (practically -- 10s or more, maybe 5 if you squeeze it hard). It is in no way realtime. Webrtc does it better (and other things too), but it is also a bigger pain to set up and forward.

Also, just in case, test that the webcam works fine if left active 24/7. I had (a cheapo) one that required a powercycle after a week or so...

Freecad is... rough. But, it has python API, and that's what I ended up using for almost all my stuff (there also was a period of using cadquery, but installing it is a horrible pain, so I gve up).

Also using onshape every now and then, but many things are just too annoying to do with a gui.

For me it's GOG first. Using lgogdownloader and wine directly (in a custom apparmor profile). No DRM, no forced updates, no annoying client that takes forever to start. Games are also dramatically much easier to isolate and sandbox this way.

If the game is not there, then yes, Steam (as a separate unix user).

Whatever works for you. Just do it. It is convenient as f when you are just starting. You can always improve incrementally later on when (if) you encounter a problem.

Too much noise/power costs to run a small thing - get a pi and run it there. Too much impct on your desktop performance - okay, buy a dedicated monster. Want to deep dive into isolating things (and VMs are too much of a hassle) - get multiple devices.

No need to spend money (maybe sponsoring more e-waste) and time until it's justified for your usecases.

Better dependency control. I strongly prefer software that only depends on the stuff I can get from the package manager. This lowers the chance of supply chain attacks. Doesn't prevent them, but I expect repo maintiners to do a better job looking at packages, than a developer who just puts another pip/gem/npm install in a dockerfile.

Also if something is only available in a container, it sort of screams "this code is such a mess, we don't even know a simple way to run it" to me.

+1, mine is great too

Finding them depends on where you live, I guess.I got to see a few models in local mediamarkt. Extrapolating from tgose few to choose among the ones available online was tough though.

Food grade stuff. Cookie cutters, spares for cat drinking fountain. I guess hardened could've worked too. Printed with ColorFabb HT, so it can just go to dishwasher.

Almost always 0.4 (sometimes 0.4 stainless). It is the biggest one that still gives me acceptable tolerances, and printing time is easier to deal with than imprecise parts.

Changing the nozzle and recalibrating feels like too much of a hassle for me, so I didn't experiment much though.

create graph on the UI

that's something I want to avoid

hard for me to imagine a situation where graphs need to be edited so often

the whole system is under development (trying new views, changing how the data is represented, etc), so I don't need to imagine it, I have it right in front of me ;)
