Ive worked with thermal printers used in POS, and usually they use a different protocol than notmal printing so you’re not using cups (basically you send “commands” with text and its position). But i am sure there are some exceptions…

Was more thinking about running games in sandboxes, other than the overhead i could see some games not being happy with that

Linux is built by the community for the community. I think trying to help people move to linux is just in just in linux users blood 😅

I haven’t tried it so i dont actually know what im talking about, but i feel like installing steam through flatpak is asking for trouble.

Interesting, i might give it a try when i finish setting up my new servers, havent been satisfied with other picture solutions, usually feels like they’re doing too much haha. I just want simple and fast, so this might be it.

So at least they are saying owncloud and ocis will still be maintained and keep their apache licenses… Still, acquisition of open source software is always a bit scary.

Since you’re just starting out, I would probably recommend mint. I think it’s the most stable of the “mainstream” distros and you’ll have less frustrations. If you want to have a great experience with managing packages, I think installing and using the nix package manager is the best way to manage packages on any distros (and who knows, maybe in a year or 2 you’ll want to try nixOs!)

NixOs is so much fun (it is my main distro rn) but I would never recommend it to someone who is just switching from windows for the first time. Any more mainstream distro would be better, but I would still recommend using the nix package manager because it’s just so good

Well that’s pretty bad. I just switched to hyprland and like it, but I don’t want to give those people a bigger platform than what they already have… Ah shit I’ll have to think about that. Why can’t we have nice things that aren’t made by complete assholes.

Not sure if you can do device local only, but it looks like you can self-host a sync server and not use the IPFS network: https://tech.anytype.io/how-to/self-hosting. Requires a bit of setup but if you have a home server this looks like an interesting idea.

Personally I am conflicted. On one side gitea switching to a for-profit is worrying, even if they didnt do anything wrong yet. I like codeberg (non-profit behind Forgejo), but I also want to support devs actually working on the product. So I think for now I’ll stay with gitea, but I won’t hesitate to migrate to Forgejo if they start to act stupid

Oh my thank you so much, this and no trafic data are my main 2 pain points with this app, now it’s one less!

In a chemical reaction, molecules (themselves composed of a set of atoms) are rearranged in new molecules by creating and/or removing bound between atoms. Creating/removing these bounds will either release or absorb some amount of energy. When the reaction release energy, it is an exothermic reaction. When it absorb energy it is an endothermic reaction. Fire is the energy released by some exothermic reactions, in the form of heat and light.
