Holy shit I never knew that.

I really thought it was one of my apps that I used that wasn’t Foss because it was so useful.

Now I want to use it more!

Rip bismuth. It worked almost perfectly in plasma5 and with rewrites in plasma6 it broke and the dev didn’t want to rewrite it.

I wish distributers in the EU were better…

Mouser and digikey are fantastic.

Every single European distributor’s website is utter chaos garbage as far as finding new components that fit within criteria (and have bad filters). RS and TME just don’t have many more specialized ICs (ECG AFEs, sensor hubs, PPG chips, hell, the STM (european) selection of mems sensors at TME is just flat out bad bad), and Farnell doesn’t sell to individuals, and also has a much smaller stock. So instead of paying shipping once at a distributer, we have to pay shipping 3, 4, 5 times for the same parts.

This isn’t even going into trying to have an alternative for McMaster Carr, Misume is pretty bad in comparison as far as UX and selection.

But I am already thankful that we have the alternatives we do.

Conversely, I game only on a Linux machine and have received 3-5 surveys in the last year.

It may have a variety of factors, but it is not as simple as “they aren’t giving surveys to Linux users to deflate numbers” or something that some Linux users tend to theorize when they don’t get surveys for a while.

Mealie is so underrated. They have meal planning, recipes, recipe parsing from the internet, grocery lists based on recipes and meal plans, like 4 different ways to organize recipes, and OIDC/SSO on top of it all!

I think some things are very necessary for medium or bigger companies:

• Dynamic Drill Tables, stackup in the spec layer and DRC import export NOT importing from other projects (and not the “DRC file” thing that does not transfer back into the GUI)

• Fonts

• Technical assembly drawing exports

I use it weekly in my own time, but it is difficult to get everyone “synced” on it.

Though as a kind of “exception”, I think that charging poles for electric cars should have modbus or Ethernet and a local protocol (matter maybe?) to use with smart home systems for automation and cars should have a standard affordable way to check errors and status of sensors.

Freecad can’t keep up with professional software with decades of paid development, sadly. It has gone very fast these past 2-3 years compared to being relatively slow before that, but now the SaaS company supporting them is bankrupt so who knows.

KiCAD on the other hand, is like 50% or more of the way there to match commercial offerings and is mostly missing QoL and productivity features

The shed as an of site backup is a good idea.

We live in the shed (it is really its own entire stone building) during our full house renovation, so I have already run electrical and cat6a to the shed and have an old router in AP mode there.

Hooking up one of those NAS boards or a 2nd hand old PC there would be a good backup option.

That is true, but for embedded development it sucks because of specialty drivers, access to dbus, udev rules, etc… And distrobox with vscodium or code oss has some big big slowdowns that I can’t figure out.

Saleae software simply won’t work consistently in distrobox, for example. Luckily they have an app image so I could just install it there and set a few settings and now it works well. Sigrok Pulseview is better but needs a few not-dependency packages to work around it.

There is some weirdness to atomic distros and bazzite, but I am pretty happy with it!

Yeah, I have that set that via set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON) but no compile_commands.json are actually output, sadly.

I use bazzite on my desktop.

The problem with the set it and forget it nature is that when updates stop working, it “forgets” to tell you.

If you layer any packages, you will run into this, but even without package layering, there have been a number of bugs reported recently about this.

I have auto updates and notifications on (and I switched them off and on again and verified the settings) and haven’t gotten a single update notification for months even though I can update manually successfully.

I am trying to figure out how to get zephyr, platformio, and nrfconnect to work with clangd.

Platformio screams every second because Microsoft’s tooling is a dependency.

Zephyr and nrfconnect work for many things, but things like including drivers from zephyr/drivers doesn’t autofill which is annoying if you are searching for a driver that might exist in nrfconnect or might not because there are some differences. It also doesn’t autofill macros and device tree defines.

If anyone has a good guide on how to set up clangd for zephyr, I would appreciate it!

Do you happen to know when the last time was that a rich company was prosecuted for this?

It seems a lot like the perjury laws: there to scare poor people into telling the truth because of almost non-existant prosecution of it.

And if it is a fine and not jail time (white collar crimes are almost never jail time) the fine would have to be much larger than the penalties they would not have to pay because of the crime, otherwise it is simply a net win for the company

You can also try out photoprism for that. Immich is best for an all-in-one solution as a replacement for google photos.

Photoprism also has face recognition, maps, and many more features geared towards photography than immich.

I realized after using photoprism that I am too basic for that haha

I don’t understand the usecase for tuta and proton. Their “automatic encryption” only works for people also with those providers if I am not mistaken, otherwise it just uses the same method as PGP (password that you have to send the recipient).

It seems to me that for 99.9% of emails going through the account, it is not any more secure that other providers like mailbox, posteo, nubo, etc…

Maybe I am understanding them incorrectly though.

Apple mail

It uses standards instead of a proprietary app like proton/tuta so you can simply add it to almost any mail client.

Also mealie supports SSO with OIDC so authelia/authentik can cover it and there is no need for separate accounts.

Also being a PWA on mobile instead of another electron app means that authentication in front of it doesn’t break anything.

As someone who has to interface professionally with solidworks and everyone at my company on the mechanical side uses solidworks, it is also slow as fuck when the part or assembly gets a bit complicated. Just opening it takes a few minutes. If we have to open solidworks and an assembly from scratch during a meeting, that is 10 minutes gone.

Definitely has 10x as many QoL and productvity features and much better TNP solutions and heuristics built over decades, plus very useful plugins, but speed and stability are not its strong points 😂

Ah yes, the extremely humanlike robots. 😂

I think one difference is that men often have no support structures at all, and certainly not with levels of physical or emotional connection. They aren’t just craving sex, they are craving human intimacy and connection where it is very normalized in the west among women to have emotional and physical platonic intimacy among friend support groups.
