It’s not difficult at all, and many editors and IDEs already support this, making the entire point moot. Just do whatever the style guide says. I’m into PHP and Python so for me it’s spaces all the way.

Yup, I remember that 😄

43 years old here. I can still hear it. I think I put about 10-15 chargers in the bin because of the noise. I also really hate those anti-mosquito ultrasone emittors people put in their yards. I can hear them whenever I walk around the neighborhood.

I have a small collection of Lego sets. I mainly collect the minifigure-scale Star Wars space ships (yes, I have the crazy big Millenium Falcon), but only original trilogy ships. My wife collects the big Lego Creator cars.

That’s harder, but perhaps the new wifi 7 sensing can help in the near future.

Home Assistant can do that. Put a Shelly smart plug in the stove outlet to see if it’s using power (or do you have an old fasioned gas stove?). It can also track what time you turned off your lights last night.

I put a Shelly smart plug in my washing machine outlet. If it detects the machine using power for 30 seconds and then stop using power for 5 minutes, then it sends a signal to Home Assistant, and HA send a notification to my phone. It’s easy.

Home Assistant has a really good basic presence detection: wifi. If you phone is connected to your home wifi network, then you’re home. Else you’re away. Simple. Works. Local only. No extra sensors.

It’s not about clicks, it’s about attribution. That is also why they all want to track you. It’s not just about targeting ads. If you buy something in a webshop and the advertiser can show that you saw a (related) ad for that somewhere in the last X days/weeks then the sale is attributed to the advertiser and they get paid a fee. That is why they want to track anything and everything. The more data they collect, the higher the chance they can show attribution. No clicks required.

My guess is that you have Docker configured incorrectly. Its internal IP range probably overlaps with your real network, so all requests are routed to Docker. Uninstall docker and reboot the server. If that works, reinstall docker and properly configure its internal networking.

Distro maintainers are a lot better about keeping libraries up-to-date than random application developers. They will even patch applications to work on newer libraries, even when the app developers do not.

There’s also auditability. If e.g. OpenSSL (or some other library) gets a high rated CVE and Debian ships a same-day patch, I know I am safe. I can verify that I have installed the patched version, and I know my applications use that patched version. Not with flatpak. Now I’m at the mercy of a dozen app developers, many of which probably value security less than the Debian Security team.

IMHO it’s a mistake for Fedora to drop its own packages for flatpak. But Fedora appears just to be a RedHat experiments playground these days, not a user focussed distro.

Don’t get me wrong, Flatpak is fine if you want to install stuff from Joe Random Developer off the internet, but I trust the Debian maintainers a whole lot more. If they ship it, i can trust it.

Distro native packages are:

• Better integrated into the base system
• No maintenance for the devs (they are usually maintained by distro package maintainers)
• Better interoperability with other packages and dependencies, thanks to the package maintainers
• No duplicate or outdated dependencies
• More space efficient because they use system dependencies instead of packaging their own
• Launch even quicker since they don’t go through flatpak
• No missing or broken features due to flatpack limitations or sandbox issues (e.g. inter-process communication)

If an application is new or niche or small then flatpak is definitely a good option. But if there’s a distro native package then that one is almost always the better option. Flatpak is nice for when there is no native package.

Only install flatpacks if the distro repository doesn’t have the application in question. But I agree about snaps. Never ever use snap packages.

Accessibility

There’s a11y and l10n. What else is there?

If you’re into history, HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts), medieval reenactment and SCA are all very approachable and friendly people. They are not cheap hobbies though.

Alternatively, board game nights and Dungeons & Dragons are cheaper and also lits of fun. Check your local board games store

I’m from Europe, so we don’t have that brand here. I used Sikkens Alpha Rezisto. It’s washable and scrub resistant. Perfect since I have pets and kids.

Interior wall paints (and rollers/brushes). I recently remodeled my house.and decided to buy the really good stuff instead of just the well known brands from the DIY store. Man, what a difference that makes. Painting is sooo much easier and it dries much nicer.
