I hate it very much. I am sure it is due to my limited understanding of it, but I've been stuck on some things that were very easy for me using VM.
We have two networks, one of which has very limited internet connectivity, behind proxy. When using VMs, I used to configure everything: code, files, settings on a machine with no restrictions; shut it down; move the VM files to the restricted network; boot and be happily on my way.
I'm unable to make this work with docker. Getting my Ubuntu server fetch its updates behind proxy is easy enough; setting it for python Pip is another level; realising the specific python libraries need special keys to work around proxies is yet another; figuring out how to get it done for Docker and python under it is when I gave up. Why can it not be as simple as the VM!
Maybe I'm not looking using the right terms or maybe I should go and learn docker "properly", but there is no doubt that using Docker is much more difficult for my use case than using VMs.
Just want to add for anyone who might attempt this, my IRC client of choice is Pidgin. Open source and works on windows as well as Linux (not sure about iOS). Most tutorials suggest the good old mIRC, but using it after the trial period increasingly becomes a pain with its wait screen with timer.
Kids YouTube channel Pinkfong has a cool video that highlights the use of classical music in kids rhymes and songs, that made me realise that it is no surprise many of these tunes are so catchy:

It is through one such music that I learnt about "An ode to Joy" and have been in love with the piece since.
If you look at the image linked below you can see some arms in the closed position with a hole in the middle where the rocket can stand. They are just used as a platform to join various stages of the rockets.
Sounds good for setting the events up and getting notifications part. A good calender would also let you see the upcoming events in week, month at a glance. Cron entries are non sorted lists. Is there a cron visualizer like they have visualizers for logs?
I switched to double edge shaving 4 years or so ago and began with changing the blade once a week. I shave on work days and have a fairly decent amount of it to work on. Slowly, i began to experiment and going longer on each blade. Sometime in between I learned about palm stropping, experimented and felt that it helps.
Currently, I'm using Indian Wilkinson Sword Saloon pack of 50+5 blades that costs around INR 120 (USD 1.5) and each blade lasts me a month. Obviously the blade is not as sharp as I begin with and it tugs a little but since it has never given me razor burns or cuts, i think I'm doing fine. I'm not doing it to be frugal or anything but it is nice to see how far such a cheap change can go.
Next, i want to create a homemade version of shaving cream/gel/oil. I came across a wonderful product in a tube that feels oily but has a bit of lather too and can be applied using fingers. But the brand closed that particular product. I've been trying to recreate it using combination of oils, glycerine, soap, conditioner etc. but have been largely unsuccessful so far. I've been meaning to ask you guys if you are aware of any such DIY concoction.
I'm having a good experience with Samsung DeX on an 7 year old TV. Gives me a trackpad with keypad on my phone to navigate a full OS on a large screen. In a pinch, I connected a Bluetooth keyboard to my phone and have even used it as a document editor using Google Docs without any hitch.
It gives you a nifty tool to create documents collaboratively while you talk. If you are using Jitsi for somewhat serious needs, then I think it is a good addition to have.
I dabbled with it in pre COVID times. Yes, Firefox support for Jitsi was almost not there back then. Same went with mobile support. Getting others to install apps was always a pain. I never tried cooking Jitsi powered ramen though.
I have hosted Jitsi publicly for my organisation for a bit and all the while I was hosting it, there was not much difference between it and the one hosted by Jitsi. Sometimes the add-ons like etherpad etc are a bit of a hassle to configure. Sometimes these features offered by the online service are an iteration or two ahead since the folks at Jitsi are actively developing it and have access to alpha/beta builds that are a trouble to implement locally.
Since you are already considering the privacy concerns, there is nothing much remaining. Maybe uptime concerns if third parties are going to use your service too and will shout at you if they can't access your service.
I also dabbled with hosting it through OpenFire which gives you more granular control over scheduling the meetings. Maybe you could explore that too.
Overall it is a fun thing and you feel fully in control.
While I have a background in science, this is not the specialization i chose and so almost all of it is almost Spanish (won't say Greek, since at least I've heard of the words) to me.
I thank you for summarising the science of it though. It gives me enough keywords to start learning.
