I personally use Calibre+Calibre-web.

It’s configured as a proxy for the Kobo store, the default store for my e-reader.

That means that when I click the sync button on my Kobo, it downloads anything hosted on my calibre-web server, while still keeping the ability to browse the Kobo store.

In that scenario, chances are your grandparents, parents and extended family is also rich.

It’s more about wanting their money to end up in your pockets when they die.

It doesn’t quite fit your requirements, but org mode from emacs is very close.

.org files instead of .md, and the preview does require a bit of config, but it’s not as bad as some make it be, especially if you pickup a preconfigured emacs “distro” (like doom emacs for example) in which case I think it’s just a feature flag to set to on.

Org is also very appreciated for it’s TODO features, which you seem to make a big use of.

It probably isn’t a match for you due to the markdown requirement, but I’m mentioning it just in case you didn’t consider it in the past.

Those kind of cables:

I recently saw someone put an old.school “yellow red white” cable (no idea how they’re actually called) in a jack socket from a PC to a Jack TV port.

It seems not complicated to me, but apparently it is ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wouldn’t it just get forked?

Sure, once it happens they can add more features, but there’s already proton forks today that are recommended for some games, such as https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom

Sure, the company is for profit, but I don’t really see a mechanism where a rugpull is possible here.

FTL travel in the series of book “the interdependency” is one of the major plot devices, so it’s one of those that marked me the most.

Without going into spoilers: FTL is limited to using a natural phenomenon that are pretty much akin to space-rivers, so humanity has no power onto what systems are connected to one another.

As rivers do, those “currents” can also shift and have done so in the past: the place where the books happen are completely cut off from earth since pretty much forever, for example.

Just this last month I played “Final Profit - A Shop RPG”: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/Final_Profit_A_Shop_RPG/

An RPG Maker game with no combat, quite a lot of story that’s honnestly not bad and more custom systems than I expected RPG Maker being able to handle.

My understanding is that it was made by a single guy, which for the size of the game is fairly impressive.

You play as the Queen of the Elves trying to fight the embodiment of capitalism by becoming the very best capitalist. I believe there’s some branching to the story, but I only did one playthrough, which took about 20 hours.

For linux only, lan only shared drive NFS is probably the easiest you’ll get, it’s made for that usecase.

If you want more of a dropbox/onedrive/google drive experience, Syncthing is really cool too, but that’s a whole other architecture qhere you have an actual copy on all machines.

The portable part of the console doesn’t seem to matter to you.

So really I think the real question you have to ask yourself is: do you want nintendo games?

If yes, switch 2 seems like a good fit.

Otherwise, most other games are on everything now (PC, xbox and playstation)

Another console might fit your requirements.

If you are willing to disregard thenplug and play, you could also consider a PC with steam big picture: it’s pretty close to a console experience.

Until the download servers go down and you have a cartridge that’s just ewaste

If this is a real thing and not photoshopped, the fact that they feel the need to hide their faces is depressing.

From my understanding, that is a thing that actually happens from time to time in real life.

Which is horrifying.

I work in Montreal.

People biking year round are very rare, and dping so require significant effort compared to using public transit.

I’m all for reducing car usage, but what I am saying is that solutions should be tailored to location.

Bike work for Amsterdam, great!

But I think cities where snowstorm are somewhat frequent should probably focus on public transit instead.

( I’ll admit tough that I assumed Toronto weather was similar to here and didn’t expect that much less snow! )

After a quick Google search, snowfall average per year in Amsterdam is 6.1cm

Toronto is apparently 121.5cm

Biking in the snow is significantly harder, and the accumulation of snow in the road in winter makes it even worse.

I don’t thin that’s the best comparison to make

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:

I’d wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.

Inversely, most people don’t need even have a turbo in their car and many don’t even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.

That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they’re probably skilled in something else!

I’m saying that as an IT person that’s aware that I’m making money mostly because people don’t bother to learn all this, so in the end I don’t mind that much.

Could you share the method you used to divide a single monitor from the OS perspective?

If you got the script or wiki page somewhere…

I’m curious
