good cross platforms too.
I’ve used it from win, osx, linux, android.
It just finds the DLNA and CIFS shares from my nas so naturally in the library - better than thunar.
I just wish my “smart” TV had it.

just go stock debian xfce, keep it simple.

It’s what my 70 year old mother is perfectly happy with for several years since I told her to drop lubuntu.

install flatpack +flathub f you want even more app convenience.

I’d gladly remove every car from the roads that is not carrying a sofa, table or desk.

yeah, glulam is probably a non-starter too if there’s no height available.
I think you can do triple flitch.

So like : [w]|[w]|[w]
maybe that’d work with 3 2x6s , 2 steels, all boted together.

+1 for pure debian, it is a lot better out of the box / for newbs now that it enables non-free-firmware on install (v12 onwards).
lots of choices too on desktop.

My only bother is that i’m keen to try KDE 6, and don’t know how long it’ll be til that at least makes it to Debian testing.

22 ft unsupported seems like a very long span to me, what’s that nearly 7 metres?
Sounds like it’s getting into the realm of structural enginneering not diy for me.

If you want to save costs you might think aout a “flitch beam”, that’s 2 wood beams with a steel plate sandwiched in between - the three components are bolted together every few feet. Easier to join to the timbers then.

I still think you might be more like 10"x2 or even 12"x2 timbers to cover that span if totally unsupported. But might still come in a little cheaper than the i-beam.
Maybe the roof will be very lightweight and no snow weight is expected - but I’m no structural engineer so don’t take my word for it.

Other features like corner bracing or canti-leverage, or some other support structure or other feature (like is it the bottom side of a framed gable triangle) might also help.

LVLmight not be suitable, but i think you can get treated “glulam” beams suitable for exterior (covered) use.

really useless lame experiment

on wayland vs Xorg.
i’ve found a few things that demand it (e.g. Waydroid - an android emulator)

So I’ve started using KDE plasma recently (previously I was XFCE due to speed and lightweightness).

KDE plasma gives a choice of wayland or xorg on the gui login screen,

Assuming the K in kinote stands for KDE plasma, becuase that’s how these things go - then you should be abe to choose - so you don’t need worry about wayland, just log back in and pick the one you need, or the one that works for the task at hand.

it is what it is.

Isn’t the whole point of git that the repo is cloned in a million places. You can switch the remote repo really easily?

Maybe i’m wrong; I stopped using github years ago. And I don’t do a lot of collaborative stuff, so I’m happy with just local git + rsync, local backups for most things. Maybe it has loads of unique features I’ve never noticed.

I’m sure there are ways to scrape other data off the platform too. For example:
https://docs.codeberg.org/advanced/migrating-repos/

I’m not saying the alternatives are necessarily better for every project. Maybe github really is best for some - but it is a choice of the project to use github. They can move if they prefer the set of features of another repository.

I’m not convinced by anyone using “critical mass” justification for choosing github, that sounds like stockholm syndrome even though you have a key to the door.
“Too lazy to switch” that’s legitimate; if a wee bit dissapointing.
“Doesn’t allow my special sauce proprietary licence” - well . . .

Poor old Chebychev is not getting much love here is he.

I guess people might think he was a fan of inequality. (sorry - maths joke, at least I didn’t do the one about the LOL numbers).

The problem from my pov is, who is getting what support for ms? I just don’t see it.

I used to be okay at using their stuff,
most of the people i’ve every worked with (in the public sector) did a less-than-average job of using the software.
They got by, now it’s worse with office365 and sharrepoint and web-apps and shit like that everything has become extremely infuriating.

Whenever we have issues it seems that more money gets earmarked for more new microsoft products, the new shit will solve our problems.
Oh, except the budget for “developers” on that new thing is spent so we’re perpetually “waiting until next development cycle”.

The only things we have that are reliable are tools we build ourselves in python, SQL and so on - and we just have to support thm ourselves. We’re not “developers” or anything mystical like that, but it’s the only way to actually get stuff done that helps us work better.

Who is out there having a good experience with MS and where does all this support go? I’m genuinely curious.

This could even go as high as a ‘don’t buy’

I don’t know about how well it supports Korean language though.

yeah all I thought maybe people with a catheter.
Or they’re fish or something.

sudo mkdir /dev/heaven
sudo mkdir /dev/earth
sudo chmod o+rx /dev/earth
sudo systemctl start light.service

(/s, just trying to troll some systemd haters)

Of course! We should’ve been eating the covid victims.
That’s what big Pharma didn’t want us to know.

How did this video stretch out to 18 mins?
I remember a mindyourdecisions yt video about this from several years ago that showed it in a couple of minutes and why it is n+1.
sorry i don’t remember the url though.

Yes, I think to work well the Land zoning and transport planning need to be hand in hand.
(and ideally serve people rather than car companies).

A local bus service is more efficient the denser the population it serves.

Rural densities will struggle to support/ warrant frequent bus services.

Really dense areas will more easily support more frequent bus services / netwoks and even trains / grade separated or exclusive land use for public transport.

It’s no suprise that super dense places like Japan, Singapore, and desely populated European , Chinese regions have more public transport.

Add New York City to that list for that matter. Presumably NYC benefited from achieving it’s density before cars became too powerful politically…

It sounds like you’re saying they’re livng in an effective dictatorship rather than a democracy.
They should be able to choose by the way they vote.

I dont reallly know much about how planning and public services works in the USA.

Im my country we have fluctuating quality of local and national public transport investment and maintenace, and one of the sources of variation is who they’re voting in to power.

When they keep voting in individualistic self-serving leaders the public infrastructure gets shat on sometimes duismantled and snaked off outside of public control. The rare time they vote for politicians who support public infrastructure and the general public, then it improves,
however briefly.

So my country is probably average on public transport - by the sounds of things, it’s generally better than most of the USA - I’d rather it be better. but I tend to accept the choices made by the electorate, saddening though it may be, this is what people want.

If i’m really that bothered about it then i have to stand for election myself.

I guess it might all come down to how free and fair the elections are and how easy it is to enter and get your manifesto heard by a fair number of people.
