I meant it in a philosophical sense.
Let’s say the gist of Debian is stability. How can you understand it? If you install now and use it for a week, you’ll just see packages that are 2 years out of date, and call it crap without going into the reasoning behind it, or finding your solutions to outdated packages. If you install it after a new release and use it for a week, you’ll think it’s fedora with apt, and call it a day.
What is the gist of a distro?
A distro is essentially the package manager, defaults, and release schedule. Sure, some have new ideas (like the immutable ones), but that’s the only difference for most of them.
You need to learn Linux properly, then it won’t matter what distro you’re using.
If your goal is to learn about Linux, a single manual arch install will teach you more than going through a 100 near identical wizards. And that’s before going into actually useful resources like those that prepare you for Linux cert exams.
If your goal is to compare distros, a week is not nearly enough time.
So hop between headless Debian and headless Ubuntu, while waving at passing Alpine and RHEL variants?
Unsupported device, but seems to still be working

Sure, but if you do that, and then follow it up with often outage and security issues, I’m going to seriously rethink using your services.
Oh, yes we have. Gitlab, Codeberg, Notabug, etc. You can even host your own Gitea or Forgejo instance if you want.
Self-hosting is right out for most people. It’s pretty expensive to even get started without compromising your home network (router with VLAN, switch, multiple servers (at least thinclients)), and then on top of that you need to maintain it, and can’t really ever max out your download/upload speeds because people are depending on your internet to interact with the repo.
Gitlab is also for-profit, but also has blackouts and devs going rm -rf on the production DB. It’s often in the news for bad things, so I’ve generally avoided it.
Codeberg is great for personal repos, but most smaller git hosting services have horrible SEO. Like I’ve had issues finding repos when searching for their exact name, if I had to use general search terms I’d only see github repos.
Gitlab: For profit (wouldn’t say it’s much better than github)
It’s got that added excitement that comes with a risk of someone doing a rm -rf on the production DB
I think that’s everything relevant, but send me a message if something’s missing, i haven’t used stump in a while.
I’m currently doing something similar in go for i3, but the tiling model doesn’t match up quite as nicely.
You interested in my attempt at integrating Emacs and stumpwm? It’s not great, but I managed to do some cool things like have Emacs emulate rofi for launching apps and as a pass frontend, and to unite key bindings in a smart way (for example, same shortcut: move stump window, move Emacs window, and if no Emacs tiles to that side move the whole Emacs window through stump).
I really liked using it, but i3 has so many nice features.
I rarely have to divide things by five or ten. I have to divide things by two, three and four a lot.
I don’t know anything about carpentry, so I’ll take your word on it.
My best guess is that the standards are different. For example 2cm stock instead of 1.9. Then only the 1/3 is problematic.
Quick off the top of your head, why would I use fractions of a cm instead of mm? It’s a workaround for a shit system
Just wait for an American to tell you how it’s easier to use fractions with imperial. I’ve legit seen them say shit like 3/8 of an inch is easier to think about than 9.5mm.
I’ve recently made it even better:
Let it sit for about 3.5-4 minutes, then press, then pour.
I think the steeping time should depend on the type of coffee and roast. A friend showed me their method for lighter roasts: 10 min steep -> stir coffee -> let sit for 5 more mins -> press and pour. The darker the roast, the quicker it will extract.
When it gets warmer: pour cold water over slightly more coffee than usual, leave it overnight in the fridge, press and pour. I doubt you’ll be disappointed if you like robustas.
It seems like most of the nice-sounding ones are proprietary.
That’s pretty standard. Most FOSS projects don’t have corporations feeding them 100’s of thousands of dollars. Even when they do, well people still say gimp is far worse than ps. Blender is one of the rare complex projects that can compete with proprietary alternatives.
And any ideas why this is an underdeveloped area for open source?
My best guess is that it’s really expensive and time consuming. I’d be surprised if those really good proprietary models didn’t cost $100k+ just for training.
Depends what your goals are.
