Yeah, been dealing with that a bunch lately too, I’ve started pushing them towards the documentation directly (though to be fair, sometimes that’s ass or nearly nonexistent) with some success.

Sqlbi for Power BI, Marco and Alberto have pretty much been my go to in that world for probably near a decade (though I haven’t really done a lot of that in a long while).

Not used nix so can’t comment on that, aura is a pacman wrapper + aur helper -S for package operations, -A for aur, gives you similar options too so -Au to update like -Su in pacman. Has a lot of other options that I’m probably not taking advantage of, but for me, gives me a single place to manage most everything (flathub too but I don’t use a lot of flatpaks, just nice to have)

Debian and derived is my go up generally, stable and I like apt, great out of the box on every machine I’ve used and personally found pretty much everything I want to use or run has debian and Ubuntu explicitly called out in their setup documentation. I use Ubuntu server a lot for work, I’m comfortable with it and it’s supported in every cloud environment I’ve touched. Debian on my laptop, bench machine, armbian on my 3d printers, Ubuntu server on my home server (though I kinda want to move that to debian too, just lazy and it works)

I’ve got arch on my desktop, could have probably gone for debian unstable, but figured I’d go for it. I use aura for package management. Linux is linux though, be real that I personally don’t find much of a difference beyond package management.

Sunshine works perfectly fine with nvidia on linux for me, what issue have you run into?

I’m running a 4070ti on the most recent nvidia open source drivers on arch for reference.

I was just blaming the usb-c connection to my monitor and throttling on a combo of windows and corporate bloatware, I guess I feel a bit better that I’m not the only one.

The connection to my monitor is the most frustrating, sometimes won’t even recognise it, sometimes after blanking the display it’ll come back with the wrong resolution but still display like it was the original, it’s super bizarre. Literally never had an issue with my personal Asus zenbook in either Debian or w11.

First computer I built had a BFG 7600gt with the first upgrade I ever did was a BFG 8800gt

Miss BFG and EVGA for nvidia cards.

When I do my own, I’ll give the dough a long cold ferment (I’ve done sourdough and preferment versions of a recipe I like, it’s pretty simple just adds some olive oil, Flour Water Salt Yeast has a really decent recipe as well) and stretch it thin.

Sweet + savoury is a favourite of mine, one of the best was

• heavy herbed olive oil as the base, light
• caramelised shallots
• goat cheese
• prosciutto
• balsamic vinegar (good stuff preferred, but works with the thinner stuff) Did this with figs too, but you don’t need it. As hot as you can go, had good results doing in one of my flatter bottom dutch ovens before.

Yeah I like Hawaiian, but it’s way better with peameal bacon or streaky bacon than ham, even better with pickled jalapeños or some other hot pepper

The classic one that my partner and I had when we where dating was

• green olive
• bacon The place is closed down now, but it had a really thin, almost Italian style crust, to me that’s a classic pizza.

Don’t eat a lot of frozen, it’s good to have on hand like frozen dumplings as a quick thing, honestly as much as loblaw’s sucks (Canadian grocery chain) their brand (President’s Choice) makes some really nice pizzas, or Dr Oetker.

Tend to order takeout from local places over chains

Wish that the mirror designs you see on trucks for towing was standard, having that second parabolic mirror with a standard mirror is amazing and I’ve had that as my setup forever now on a small car, can see everything in those.

Something like this setup also takes getting used to but seriously worth it.

Aussie Techmoan with Ashens for good measure.

Seriously, cinnamon rolls (at least the ones I make) are brioche and while the dough is pretty heavily butter reinforced, I wouldn’t ever use greasy to describe them after baking even after frosting.

Brioche isn’t supposed to be cloyingly sweet either, supposed to be subtle, I’ve done rolls like these from king Arthur, added sugar is 7.5% of flour.

Legit have never had an issue with multi boot and windows like ever, tbf I don’t go into windows that frequently anymore but it’s never given me grief in at least a decade. I know my experience isn’t universal though, so sorry to anyone who does have boot issues after windows updates.

In the worst case, could use bcdedit and use the windows boot loader (tbh I have no idea if that works here, but could be worth a try)

Some monitors have inbuilt KVM switches, have an MSI ultrawide (model escapes me sorry) I bought a few years ago that I use to flip between usbc and dp. Configurable though, could set it up to flip between HDMI and DP and assign usb to whatever one I prefer. It’s way nicer than the switch + swapping inputs manually I had been using.

Could use Polars, afaik it supports streaming from CSVs too, and frankly the syntax is so much nicer than pandas coming from spark land.

Do you need to persist? What are you doing with them? A really common pattern for analytics is landing those in something like Parquet, Delta, less frequently seen Avro or ORC and then working right off that. If they don’t change, it’s an option. 100 gigs of CSVs will take some time to write to a database depending on resources, tools, db flavour, tbf writing into a compressed format takes time too, but saves you managing databases (unless you want to, just presenting some alternates)

Could look at a document db, again, will take time to ingest and index, but definitely another tool, I’ve touched elastic and stood up mongo before, but Solr is around and built on top of lucene which I knew elastic was but apparently so is mongo.

Edit: searchable? I’d look into a document db, it’s quite literally what they’re meant for, all of those I mentioned are used for enterprise search.

Postgres runs well in a container in my experience and is nice to work with, def support that. I know sqlite works well, no complaints from me

My dad was big into Sierra an Apogee so of what I can recall, be one of the incredible machine, king’s quest 6, duke nukem 2 or command keen. Also remember playing math and word rescue at like… 5, shareware was more than enough to keep me occupied at that age. First console game though was altered beast on the genesis.

I’m still stuck mostly on 1.7.10 and 1.12.2 modpacks, I don’t play as much these days though.

I’ve used MultiMC forever, it’s open source and has linux support. Like it because I tend to have a few different modpacks/versions, keeps things organised.

That “at least 4%” bit makes that even worse. Just look at the List of miscarriage of justice cases on Wikipedia, it’s not not exhaustive and it’s huge, I cannot morally or ethically justify capital punishment on that alone, the whole state-sanctioned murder bit just makes it even more horrific.

That’s me as well, I’ve used vim for simple edits over the years but more and more just used nano for most of my terminal based edits. Finally ran vimtutor (mainly because I wasn’t aware of it) and wow, I should have done that years ago.
