So DIY home-assistant based cloud-relay is better than custom made purpose built cloud-relay by muliti billion dollar company? xD

Which is both hilarious and a testament to the power of Home-assistant and open source (and I suppose it says something about how much Hyundai cares about their app)

It might be relatively new, but I'd say Subnautica.

It was such a breath of fresh air when it came out, and instilled both such a sense of wonder at all the vibrant lifeforms of 4546B and also instilling such dread upon encountering reapers or diving deeper than ever before. I still remember the mixed sense of wonder and unease upon discovering the Jellyshroom caves for the first time

Kate on Linux, Notepad++ on Windows.

Also, Kate on Windows (it's really good)

Yes please consider the software, not just the form factor. Because SteamOS is Linux there is no Photoshop and Lightroom. There is however Gimp and Darktable (and Krita) which may or may not fit your needs.

Also you want to make sure you install desktop software as Flatpaks. Lke others have said, the root filesystem is read-only, and pacman repositories are old. The root filesystem gets reset on SteamOS updates, but flatpaks are installed in your home directory which persists across updates.

To be fair that guide is a lot of big command-line prompts for anybody not used to using the terminal, even if it's all copy-paste

Wow that's awesome! Props to etnoy for creating such a polished PR for this feature

I can't wait to simply point immich at my existing photo structure :)

Working well with version control is such a killer feature!

Certain platforms (not necessarily in the EDA space) like to make 5000 line diff after just opening a project and thinking about changing a comment

I meant "just a text editor" in the sense that it's not a full IDE with compilers and build system, versioning, project management etc. But now with plugins Kate does these things too

I use Kate mostly for config files or interpreted code like python, bash etc, and just launch the code from the terminal (or Kate's built-in terminal 🙂 )

For compiled code I like KDevelop, if that can be considered lightweight. Vscode / vscodium is nice too but not exactly lightweight by many people's standards (though I haven't tried it with compiled code)

For RPi the two major causes of issues (in my experience) are low spec power supplies and low spec SD-cards.

Power supplies drop voltage when the loads gets too high, which is especially pronounced with high power USB devices like external harddrives.

SD-cards tend to get worn out or give write errors after enough writes. Class 10 SD cards are recommended for both speed and longevity. And ideally try to avoid write intensive stuff on the SD card

What are build targets in the context of Kate? Kate itself is "just" a text editor. Related to a plugin maybe?

Protip: KDE's Dolphin is available for Windows.

The Windows integration isn't perfect, but it's very useful nonetheless. Multiple tabs and the Ctrl+I filter alone makes it worthwhile.

On a related note: KDE's Kate text editor is also available on Windows and it works GREAT! So great that KDE eV has published it on the Windows store, making it easy to install

Thanks for sharing, LibrePCB looks amazing, much simpler than KiCAD.

Last time I used KiCAD (admittedly quite some years ago) it was amazingly powerful but kinda overwhelming to get started

From Wikipedia

.. until the application was sold to the payment processor Daegu Limited, part of Parity.com, which changed the application user interface and content,[7][8] which led the free software community to develop an ad- and tracker-free fork called 'Organic Maps' in response.[

"On a DVD"... 😅 in some decades that might as well be like saving your video to 8mm film. Gotta call some specialist antique dealer on the other side of the continent to find the right tech and right adapters to play it back on modern hardware

Sadly Obsidian is not open source or free as in free speech. For individuals it is free as in free beer though

Git Bash also works quite well without WSL (but I think it just uses Cygwin under the hood)

There's also Kate, the KDE Advanced Text Editor. It's available from the Windows store, and works amazingly well on Windows, fast snappy and (almost?) just as featurefull as on Linux. I use it side by side with Notepad++

Thirding a reverse proxy. Probably Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) is the easiest reverse proxy to get started with, if you don't want to deal with plain nginx config files

Thanks for sharing, Markor looks promising

Markor also has support for Zim Wiki, so I tried it out with some files from my Zim Desktop Wiki notebook, and it sortof works! Markor renders correctly, though I had some problems getting embedded images to work, because Markor didn't find the images using the same relative URLs as Zim Desktop Wiki uses.

Hmm, yeah there's no mention of cloud sync, and it advertises using "androids native SQLite database" as storage backend, which I imagine means you can't use a third party sync app like FolderSync or Nextcloud app which works with files.

"This project showcases the Good implementation of Android with proper architecture design"

Is hiding away text notes in a database rather than plain text files really what's considered "proper architecture design" these days?
