I think the best way to set pihole up is to use the docker image, https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole/. run it on a pi or any other computer with docker. Upgrades are painless.

I've mostly moved on to vscode. Still use sublime for quick edits though. It is an awesome product.

I really like sublime merge though! Can't work without it.

I have a desktop with an Intel i7 from around 2014. Its still fast for everything that I do at home. However, I can't update it to windows 11, no TPM. I'm not trashing perfectly good hardware just for that. I'll just keep using Linux.

Seems pretty great to me. Never understood the hate.

Seems like if you want free. You should use and support Debian.

I use vscode and that is my experience. Instant preview is cool, but at least for me it isn't even something I think about.

I use keepassxc on windows and linux and it is awesome.

Ubuntu use to be a go to for me, but lately I'd rather opt for debian or RHEL for a more stable sensible experience.

The performance issues are already a solved problem with flatpak. Seems there are fundamental issues with the design of snaps for desktop applications compared to flatpak.

That would be awesome. It reminds me that in the book ready player one they have a shampoo that gets rid of all your hair.

I find that lots of figures are good reason to use latex. You can programatically scale and crop, captions never get separated from the figures, and figure placement is handled in a sane predictable way.

Seems pretty suitable to me. It is a great option.

I print out a sheet with some text (including the network SSID and password) and a QR code to connect to the guest wifi using libre office writer. It has a built in qr code generator. The QR code text for a wifi password is here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#Joining_a_Wi%E2%80%9....

No need for any special third party tools.

What do you mean?

It feels like the current global economy is based on a pyramid scheme. (Pyramid shaped distribution) when it becomes an inverted pyramid that is going to be rough.

My hope is that with ipv6 everyone will be default have a static IP address. That would make it much easier for people to play around with their own personal websites etc.

Pretty sure they are referring to camping outside with a sleeping bag in the dirt -> dirtbag.

Git submodules aren't perfect, but they can definitely be useful. I use them all the time and for my use case they are a good solution. They do take some getting used to though.

At work I have a dell t7920 desktop. At home I have a custome built desktop from 2014 with an Intel i7. Works like a charm.

Redhat is my favorite Linux distro for my workstation. It just works and is rock solid. I wish they had a node locked license option like windows pro workstation,https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-10-pro-for-worksta..., for $300-500 for a major version instead of always having to manage subscriptions.

My knowledge base is a git repository full of markdown files and vscode. I can easly goto a specific file or do text search across all files. Minimal effort and no lockin to s specific tools.

Redhat family of distros are the same.

Just happy that they made the switch. Not interesting in the sense that it is unexpected.

Interesting that they are changing the official distribution method from snap to flatpak. I've had much better experience with flatpak than snaps.

I actually like Xilinx's ultrascale SoCs and the petalinux platform. It's not perfect but it works pretty well and is very customizable.

Numba is awesome. It solves a lot of problems. Julia is like numba but you are able to use any libraries inside the loops. Think FFT, scipy, etc

Optimization type problems. Also anything with loops that isn't easily vectorizable.

I really like julia. For certain problems matlab and python are unworkable. People complain about time to first plot, but that doesn't matter too much to me. The problem is that plotting in general is just not as robust or user friendly as Matlab or matplotlib in python. You can call matplotlib, But it feels like a second class citizen. Plotting just needs to be better with a clear preferred method. There are tons of options.

A 43" monitor from Dell. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-43-4k-usb-c-.... It's wide enough that you can comfortably have three panes of code side by side and also tall enough that you can see a lot all at once. It's 4k, but it's so big you don't need much scaling to be comfortable.
