I’m afraid dongle refers to something else.

But it is a funny word, though!

50% of the time I would be handed a cable. Who knows what’s on the other end of it.

Yes. Using sub-files and related features makes a 100+ page document with figures and links much easier to work with.

One of my favorite parts of being a math teacher is getting to write in latex all the time.

It’s such a bummer collaborating on a document because they all use Word.

Yeah. I also appreciate the ability to actually fix most problems. I probably ran into fewer problems on windows, but when I did, the problems were beyond repair.

As a math teacher I make booklets per unit. They’re almost entirely based on a textbook or two, but they’re all typed up by me in latex.

It works well — one small booklet to haul around at a time. There’s also room for them to write notes as well as work out practice problems. And an answer key, depending on the class.

What does Microsoft have to do with that? You can make the same AI PRs anywhere you want.

Almost all routers can handle gigabit, which is almost certainly what you want if you plan on doing local networking. A typical hard drive has speeds of about a gigabit. There is no reason to get anything slower. You can also get some gigabit switches (or even faster if you are using nvme on both machines) and connect two machines that need fast speeds between them to it. Most switches will be able to send packets to each other without going through the router.

If you really want to do some learning you could try to set up an opnsense box on an old PC and connect that to a switch. It’s feature rich and completely modular and upgradable. This is probably the best thing you could do if you want to learn something but also the worst thing to do if you want consistent uptime since you can pretty easily break stuff if you don’t read the docs.

That said, as others have mentioned openwrt on a used router is probably the best of both worlds - feature rich but less breakable.

I had so many OSX and Final Cut Pro DVD-Rs. And Adobe CS.

Nowadays I just use FOSS alternatives. Pirated software isn’t worth the risk anymore IMO.

I primarily use Libre Wolf but playing back hdr videos in Plex might just be easier to use Chromium than mpv.

If you have a car with a CD player, I’d recommend burning some CDs. It’s so refreshing having a small collection of banger CDs to choose from. Not to mention that you can insert and eject without being too distracted.

Also shredder was kinda cool, even if evil.

Yeah. It is really good at some things and bad at other things. I used to have a good sense for it but the arch install threw me off.

I find it’s good at giving regex commands from natural language and vise versa. It’s really helped me get a grip on that aspect of learning (neo)vim.

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

It’s funny, I’ve heard this so many times. And read through the docs. But I’m a mad lad who has auto updates (I know!) and have never had an issue with Immich.

Not to mention that a removable back plate would eliminate the waterproof and dust-proof seals that I have come to appreciate quite a bit over the years.

and it is also the worst.

While you’re at it consider using docker.

Adding a group. You can now only add one email address at a time. Got a group of 100? Best clear your afternoon.
