  Yeah, but then you have to use Evolution.

  Maybe, after a few months (or a year, as I may or may not have experienced) of “communication” you’ll be allowed to use Thunderbird. Only for it to be suddenly blocked again later because some dude didn’t understand why can’t everyone just use Outlook.

  And don’t even dream of having a script to, say, sort and preprocess your mail.

  gentoo with openrc works just fine for me (for docker/podman there is a separate debian machine though, as I don’t want untraceable blobs from the internet in my LAN)

  and/or getting your games from places like gog.com

  Stalker 2, Manor Lords (not as big, I guess) (hopefully)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming local Webcam in a Linux machine, and acessing it when on vacations - which protocol to choose?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d go for HLS due to its simplicity: just files over http(s). VPN or not - depends on your network. If your machine is accessible from the internet, just putting the files into a webserver subdirectory with a long random path and using https will be secure enough for the usecase. Can be done with an ffmpeg oneliner.

  The downside of HLS is the lag. It is in no way realtime. Webrtc does it better (and other things too), but it is also a bigger pain to set up and forward.

  Also, just in case, test that the webcam works fine if left active 24/7. I had (a cheapo) one that required a powercycle after a week or so…

  Freecad is… rough. But, it has python API, and that’s what I ended up using for almost all my stuff (there also was a period of using cadquery, but installing it is a horrible pain, so I gve up).

  Also using onshape every now and then, but many things are just too annoying to do with a gui.

  Damn, they don’t send to NL :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Better dependency control. I strongly prefer software that only depends on the stuff I can get from the package manager. This lowers the chance of supply chain attacks. Doesn’t prevent them, but I expect repo maintiners to do a better job looking at packages, than a developer who just puts another pip/gem/npm install in a dockerfile.

  Also if something is only available in a container, it sort of screams “this code is such a mess, we don’t even know a simple way to run it” to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to dispose of dirty polyethylene?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on your local waste service. I’d go for the “everything else” dumpster. Here in NL it is incinerated, which is a decent option for such a mix.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data visualization, like Grafana, but configurable without gui.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you ever notice that grafanalib is noticeable behind grafana itself? That’s something that turned me off it, but I wonder if it was a one-time situation because of some major change in grafana…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data visualization, like Grafana, but configurable without gui.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  create graph on the UI

  that’s something I want to avoid

  hard for me to imagine a situation where graphs need to be edited so often

  the whole system is under development (trying new views, changing how the data is represented, etc), so I don’t need to imagine it, I have it right in front of me ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data visualization, like Grafana, but configurable without gui.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Something like that, where I just write a function that spits out a numpy array or something like that and it gets plotted, would be great, but there is one thing Grafana can do and vega-altair, plotly and even matplotlib (*): a UI that allows to select a time interval to view. So I can freely pan/zoom in/out in time, and only the required part of the data will be loaded (with something like select … where time between X and Y under the hood). So if I look at a single day, it will only load that day, and only if I dare to zoom out too much it will spend some time loading everything from the last year.

  (*) yes, you can do interactive things with matplotlib, but you don’t really want to, unless you must…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data visualization, like Grafana, but configurable without gui.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  To be precise, the page how to configure some things and how to upload the config. I also tried that.

  The problem is in the dashboard jsons. They are not well documented (docs on specific plots are missing), and are a pain to edit (as any json). The grafanalib tool I mentioned tries to help with that by implementing a sort of DSL for dashboards, but it is not ideal.
