You may think they would want to use all that money to make people not need to pirate things. but here we are.

Do we really need to see your Google or whatever „news“feed here? Honestly, can you provide something more than a fucking clickbait title from a cancer „news“ site?

You are correct, LaTeX isn’t very fast in general, but my 8 core ryzen server with 8GB of ram assigned to the vm running overleaf is usually twice as fast as the official overleaf unpaid tier. The specs you listed should produce much better results than the official overleaf. This seems weird to me.

As an example, I just compiled my thesis, which is about 60 pages, lots of references, pictures, and generally a heavy document. On my server it takes about 35 seconds, the official overleaf just times out (pay or we won’t compile your document).

Love the name

I see, you probably had to change the overleaf config file? I feel it’s too much work to keep it updated and running, on my Linux server. But the official overleaf is just too slow. It struggles to compile 30 page documents, and i have several that are longer. How does it run for you on your windows computer, with the local installation? What are the specs of your machine?

Idk when you did it, but with the overleaf toolkit, at least the docker networking seems to be no problem. I had quite some problems with updating though. I run an outdated version at the moment because texlive gets updated faster than overleaf, which produces errors when installing the texlive full package. Overall, also can’t recommend.

Good!

They are probably referring to the streaming services bit

Why would grandma want to do that? I have set up computers for tech illiterate people with Linux quite successfully. You just tell them: „if it wants your password, you did something wrong. Never enter your password, unless you know exactly why“ Set and forget.

I will do that, once OP contacts me and gives me some measurements.

Drop me a message, i could design that in creo and send you any format you like. Looks like 15 minutes of work, and I love bees 😊

Wait until you hear about WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator)

If you run random .pdf.something-files pm‘d to you on LinkedIn you probably shouldn’t use a computer anyway, no matter if it runs Linux or Windows…

The German word for raccoon is Waschbär

Why is pornhub obvious? Americans are so prude, it hurts my brain. God forbid there are nipples somewhere! But murder is fine.

Story of pretty much every good app ever.

Same with Apple. Ducking nuts!

The „buy me a coffee“ link seems to work, though…
