Maybe better to link the source article on this one.

I’ve been on the receiving end of these. It’s such a monumental time waster. All the reports look legit until you get into the details and realize it’s complete bullshit.

But if you don’t look into it maybe you ignored a real report…

Contributors is my favorite metric. It shows that there are lots of eyes on the code. Makes it less likely of a single bad actor being able to do bad things.

That said, the supply chain and sometimes packaging is very opaque. So it almost renders all of that moot.

They run the closest mirrors to me. Would be a shame to see them go.

People really afraid of Rust out here.

I know it’s dumb to feel sad about computers and software getting shutdown, but it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.

Sadly, something we all have to get used to. Everything we do is ephemeral and the next guy will likely have better/different ideas on how to do things.

Basically everything I’ve ever built has been torn down or somehow bastardized eventually.

Start from the install guide on the wiki. It’ll branch out fast and just follow all the links and read. If something goes wrong, check if you missed something on the wiki. It’s an amazing resource.

Also, look up your hardware on the wiki before you start.

Don’t?

Don’t think you’d regret it. I can’t speak for that one in particular, but I’m still running one of the DIY Kickstarter versions. Will probably replace it with another Framework (or maybe even just upgrade the components if I can).

Is this like a reference implementation or something they expect people to run?

I have similar, but I turn my display on/off with HDMI-CEC based on time.

I feel like this would fit in some unexpected areas of mobile computing. Music, interfacing with other equipment (e.g. industrial computing), or other places where people might normally take a full laptop where that’s kind of overkill.

I’m not really sure, and I kind of wish I had a need for one.

Your community gets access to the network? So it’s basically a virtual LAN?

ELI5 headscale?

Ah, fair enough then.

“Adds […] as an Option” sounds like default to you?

It needs the Thinkpad nipple.

I like exim a bit more but yeah. The dead simple solution is my goto. It can be tricky without any experience but there’s a ton of information out there.

And once you set it up your pretty good almost indefinitely.

If you want access to it at system-level, you can use pip install --user .... If you run scripts as your user it’ll be as if it was installed as a system package.

Only use that if it’s something you use to manage your system. If you’re using this as a development environment, use venvs.

Same. Short and sweet.
