Nice, I’ve been waiting for this.

Self taught programmer here. If your goal is to contribute code. Get the project’s code, learn how to run it. Go pick an issue, great if it has a first time contributor tag or something. Try to fix it. If someone fixes it before you, now you can compare fixes. Sounds simple? It kind of is, but there are some side quests involved. This processes will force you to learn the bare minimum to get the task done. Your solution will most likely be shit but that’s great, you can only get better. Programming is less about knowing how to do something and more about figuring it out as you go. Google, chatbot/llm, read the docs, ask others. Edit: Forgot something important: Be open to critique, programming is a craft and there is a lot to learn. Being bad at it is a given for most. Also most programmers are kinda bad at communicating so they may sound harsher than they are.

I put mint on my elderly moms pc. Basically no difference for her. Also less maintenance and issues, since all she does is use the browser, Libre Office writer and print.

Nice!

I came here to say this.

I agree with this. Might also be nostalgia or might be that the younger generations have not experienced an intuitive ui. I always try to keep an open mind about updates to software, but the flat design stuff has gone too far, a text box is just a line on a solid color background sometimes, how the fuck should anyone know it expects text input unless they have used it before? I’m an experienced software dev I have worked with all kinds of user interfaces on PC’s and on industrial equipment, and I find flat design confusing, a bloody cnc controller from the 80’s is easier to navigate is some aspects. Rant over. This is just my opinion, consider me an old man jelling at cloud infrastructure or whatever the trending term is.

I use fish because it was the default in cachyos and decided to give it a fair shake. I like the built in syntax highlighting and fancy autocomplete but I miss bash scripting and built in commands that replace standard commands can be weird sometimes. I have not tried scripting fish, to lazy to learn yet another scripting language, especially if bash is the (almost) de-facto standard.

Well…I did miss that… sorry. But, if the upfront cost matters Prusa is expensive, if the lifetime cost matters its not. That’s just my opinion, feel free to disagree.

Prusa if you can stomach the price, otherwise no clue. I have a Core One + myself. I’m happy with it.

Friction welds sound pretty interesting. I’m guessig only on round joints?

lol

Oh that makes sense, any mineral harder than glass will do probably. Even hardened steel. Maybe a drill bit, a tap, a mill, a metal file?

Why AA batteries specifically? I have not tried it but they seem soft.

Interesting, why did it happen?

Don’t quote me, but as far as I know containers can’t fix the issue if the host kernel is too old.

Why? What did he do?

1. No just linux and an orchestrator, for very small and local deployments I have used k3s.
2. Probably not, but maybe with WSL2.
3. Yes, there are many ways to do it. Some have mentioned helm but you cal also write your own manifests, somewhat similar to docker-compose files.
4. The Kubernetes Book, and just try to get some pods up and running.

Edit: changed my mind. While I don’t agree. This is not a bad idea.

I’m the kind that will try to install Arch from scratch, multiple times if needed and when I get a barely working desktop with Hyprland I switch to cachy os with KDE Plasma. Because that just works and I learned what I wanted from the scratch install. Edit: Anything I host probably runs Debian, anything I have to support(parrents) runs Linux Mint or Ubuntu.

I get where you’re coming from. But as something of an enthusiast myself I don’t always know GUI tools for all the tasks I can do in a terminal. Edit: typos
