Automatic daily updates for system packages. Automatic daily container updates with watchtower. I normally have things pinned to a reasonable major or minor release, so I do manual upgrades for new OS release branches and usually pin to a major version for Docker containers but depends on the container.
But then you have no need for the umbrella if it’s not raining. It just becomes dead weight.
For Q2: I would recommend your native layout. I’ve not tried US QWERTY but I tried DVORAK many moons ago because it’s “better”, but I found it’s better to be good at one layout than to try split your efforts. If you’re not doing something where speed is crucial, just use what you’re used to. If your keyboard layout is not good for your purposes (e.g. typing a character you need often for the programming language you’re using, is difficult on your layout), you could remap individual characters or maybe there’s a layout similar to your native one but better for programming. But no need to use US QWERTY specifically. Also as another commenter said, typing speed isn’t that crucial for programming. I find I’m always limited by thinking speed, not typing speed.
The main disadvantage is that it’s less automated, and also you don’t get automatic updates without any other package management system in place. If you’re using something like e.g. source packages from the AUR then that solves both those problems and there’s no downsides (beyond extra computational power/time you spend waiting) so long as the package maintainer does their job correctly.
Can it mess with my system in any way?
Not… really? I guess if you’re downloading random tarballs off the internet and running make install without checking the integrity or trustworthiness of what you’re downloading then you could get a virus. But if you’re certain the source you’re getting is legitimate, then I suppose the only way building from source could “mess up your system” is if you mess up your system libraries or something whilst trying to install dependencies.
I guess my bike? Have saved loads of money on bus tickets and it’s much more reliable too.
Sewing machine pays for itself quite quickly as paying a tailor to repair your clothes is like 1/3 the cost of a brand new sewing machine, so just repair like 3 items of clothing to get your money back.
Do you have a Ryzen CPU by any chance? I had an issue like this for ages and it turns out it was a faulty Ryzen power state that was disabled by default on Windows, but not on Linux. If this happens to be your issue, there are ways you can disable the power state in software: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ryzen#Soft_lock_freezing
“nearly” is, by definition, not.
I only cook for myself so most recipes end up going in the fridge or freezer since they make more than 1 serving. I don’t like eating the same meal twice in one day but I don’t mind eating the same meal every day, so as long as I have 3 distinct meals in rotation each day I’m fine. If that number drops to 2 or 1 then I get cooking again.
gofundme is very strict so if theyre on gfm theyre either legit or you’d be refunded if not.
Keep in mind people in Gaza usually have English as a second/third/etc language, or don’t speak English at all, so often use templates to make their fundraisers. And obviously machine translation too.
Yes it is difficult to get money into Gaza but it does happen. I have a friend who evacuated in 2024 and he’s talked quite a bit about how it works; his friends and family who are still there do occasionally receive money from outside which lets them buy the extremely expensive vegetables and flour.
First I’ve heard of em dashes being an “AI” thing. Aren’t LLMs trained on human-generated text? They wouldn’t be outputting em dashes if humans didn’t also output em dashes.
There was one question where it wouldn’t let me do this. I think the media streaming question I had to click “Other”.
Never used a dashboard… I just manage my services on the cli with plain docker commands.
What really? I thought the screenshot looked like electron/web app slop but I was like, maybe they’ve just gone for a “modern” gtk/qt theme. It’s actually just a Firefox PWA?
That sounds like an awful idea lmao. I would never.
ID requirement is terrible for everyone but that especially seems like you’re limiting this to citizens or at least people who have managed to get appropriate immigration documents, which is a difficult and obstructive process that many migrants haven’t got yet. Plus a lot of countries make it hard to get ID without a fixed address.
I prefer paper books when I can afford them as I find it easier to focus when I have a physical book to hold. And it just feels like a nicer experience.
Watchtower for automated updates. For containers that don’t have a latest tag to track, editing the version number manually and then docker compose pull && docker compose up -d is simple enough.
Yes, if you use the “task list” block. You can also have checkbox bullet points but I don’t use them, not really sure what the use-case for those are when you can just use the task list.
I self-host Notesnook and found it easy to set up. Been using it as my main note-taking app for years now and I’m really happy with it.
I learnt to code before I was 10, why not? Also why not mention the word “syntax”? Kids are just less experienced, but they’re not stupid. They can understand a concept if you explain it to them.
