In general you’re correct, it’s just that currently this is how the system is. Grid operators in general don’t want their grid to be destabilised by oversupply to the point where they will pay you take the energy of their hands. Yes, disconnecting excess panels from the system would solve the issue, except that for most farms or households that was never a concern and solar panel owners have no incentive to care, so companies are now trying to push what are essentially smart plugs to let the solar panels be turned on / off on demand.

I would not market an industry well know for burnouts as “low stress” though.

What’s your experience with running /e/OS/ with banking apps and things like that? I’ve been considering a degoogled Android phone like Fairphone

There’s a whole range of editors depending on how much of an IDE hobbyist you want to be. VSCode is right smack down the middle from don’t care at all to care too much.

For my opinion on the high end of quality from “I don’t care I just want it to work” to “I make my own optimized tooling”:

• All of the Jetbrains editors, nearly language specific, sane out of the box defaults, industry standard.
• VSCode, multilingual, good defaults, good plugin ecosystem, configurable when you need it to.
• NeoVim, multilingual, basic defaults, install your own plugins, completely customize your IDE, code features (language servers, highlighting, completions). Really good plugin ecosystem

Also the see the Godot documentation for some more ideas https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/contributing/development/configuring_an_ide/index.html

This is the way

Maybe a bit niche, but if you’re in the Scala ecosystem and seen what happened with Akka -> Apache Pekko. Version one of Pekko was a 1-1 rename of Akka

You can probably encase a Raspberry PI with a battery and a touch screen, micro SD cards can go much higher than 16, and install Linux. Keep in mind that the Linux touch UIs aren’t really great imo, the best experience I’ve had so far is the steam deck.

I’ve been using gocryptfs now for a few years and it works fine as you describe.

You initiate the encrypted folder, set up automatic backups for it. Then whenever you want to access it you mount it into another folder.

There is a distinction here between the permanently encrypted folder that you can upload backup whatever, and your temporary mount, unencrypted folder.

If you’re alright with the rare conflicts to fix yourself something like syncthing works well for this setup even across computers.

Is it possible to generate this kind of funny image with your own face already? I know that there’s all the deepfake type stuff people do but I assume with an image generator you get better quality.

This might be obvious but I’m very out of the loop on image generation

Cryptocurrencies are not like stocks, stock is partial ownership of an enterprise which has the ultimate goal of generating more revenue, stocks are not a trading currency.

I need to put up some windows in the Hague, you seem to know your shit, care to pm me your company or contractor?

Yes I have setup recurring donations for some projects that really do ease up and save me so much time, although I don’t think that this should be the way to keep OSS projects alive at the end of day.

If we let it companies will outsource this responsibility to us, even when often in the current economy they are the biggest profiteers from OSS and adjacent projects.

I donate to neovim and endeavour os, I would also donate to awesome / whatever tiling manager I currently use as it just saves me so much time (and literal pain in my case by reducing the use of the mouse).

These people are doing great job in maintaining systems that are easy to use, fast and very customizable, making actually using my computer enjoyable as opposed to the slow, non accessible, bloated UIs from other OSs

There are solutions to it. For example in Scala I’ve had to use Class tags a couple of times before and they were ergonomic and functioned well

As someone that has also spent an unnecessary amount of time doing things like setting up developer envs, ricing and encryption on the steam deck I appreciate this post 👍

This type of libraries are exactly what makes neovim thrive as a daily driver, it’s so easy to customise and manage your own workflows

I agreee with you on the side of the concept, but the way it is organised and the potential values seem to make no intuitive sense (if they make any)

I play StarCraft II regularly, have played Diablo IV and just started WarCraft 3 recently, all without any issues. All you need is proton or install steam and add a non-steam game.

Iam curious what exactly you’re doing. Are you setting up encrypted machines and sending PGP emails to each other?

Do you have a source for this article? I’ve found that this has happened on my company and I am curious about the phenomenon

For sure, this has been something I learned from working in Scala that has made my code in other projects much more readable and easier to reason about. For performance reasons I may need to use mutables, but often I can keep it in the context of the function and just encapsulate it.
