Life safety systems, fire protection, most controls, really

Have you considered putting your children in one of the storage freezers? /s

Occasionally I read something I don’t like. Usually I learn something because of it. Sometimes I figure out I don’t like it halfway through, finish it, but then imagine a better ending.

From my experience with tailscale so far - there are so many different ways to have it configured well. If it works well for you having it on the host, then go for it. I have home assistant in a VM with tailscale and tailscale on the (windows) host. This works well for my needs and I don’t mind having it running “twice”

Multiple versions, paths, and installs of Python. Using pip makes it worse.

I still don’t fully understand how to gracefully have multiple desktop environments and switch between them. When I want to try something new to me like lxqt, I usually spin up a VM.

I see the same thing daily. I usually take it as a sign to quit scrolling and do something else. It’s a feature, not a bug.

If you do compile something, it is very easy to make it an installable package you could share. I’m not sure how the repos are managed

Can I request a hack? How do I handle several different versions of Python installed, which one is used for pip stuff, and how sudo/running as services changes all of this.

I chose to set up grafana, mqtt, etc for an RV instead of home assistant. Little more lightweight for the raspberry pi 3 I used. Pulling together solar info, so we could see how long the AC would keep running on the road

KiCAD for circuit boards FreeCAD to import those boards and do everything else

Mint is great. It also works well out of the box in virtual machines. I like the MATE versions for my older machines.

There is a major shift happening right now, and mint is slower than many to adopt changes. I’d argue that’s good for mint users, but it may be bad for you personally if you plan to learn about modern linux. Idgaf personally about X11 vs Wayland, because I just need to be able to use my programs.

I mainly use them when I want something windowed but without tabs taking up space. Like monitoring my solar panels

Any idea how to get links clicked in a PWA like Google Messages to open in a normal browser tab? I’ve tried nothing.

If you are concerned about things like PWAs like I was, try it out anyway. PWAs require a bit more setup, but are a lot more flexible in Firefox. For example, PWAs with http connections have a huge banner in Chrome, and just an icon in Firefox. Everything I’ve noticed is that firefox is just as snappy as Chrome
