I had a great experience with beekeeb shipping to France. They offer many pre-soldered well-known open-source split keyboards at approximately half the price of ZSA products.

Fish is great out of the box!

Check out the Fish for Bash users guide since it explains the main differences.

The few issues I’ve seen for daily use are that export does not work and you need to use set -x VAR value instead, $PS1 is not recognized because Fish uses its own prompt system, and wildcards work a bit differently...

Language changes through use, not through rules or intentions to "preserve" meanings. You can’t freeze a language, words evolve based on how people actually use them, and today GIMP overwhelmingly refers to the image editing software, not some outdated insult. If you search for it online, you'll find pages of tutorials and plugins long before you even stumble on that old sense.

English is a global language now, the majority of its speakers aren’t native, and it feels ethnocentric to assume everyone experiences a word the same way a small educated group of native speakers might. Meaning comes from context and community use, not from etymology.

Semantic shifts and reappropriations happen all the time. Words like "queer" completely changed meaning over time. From my point of view, GIMP has done the same thing.

Sorry if I miss some nuance, I’m not a native speaker myself...

Since "winter break", it seems that most versions are supported.

I have a Kindle, and it's relatively inexpensive (I assume the business model focuses on selling eBooks rather than the reading device itself). I never turn on the Wi-Fi or sign in; I use it offline by uploading books through USB with Calibre. I've read that it can be jailbroken, but it has met all my needs so far. Would this option work for you?

I was surprised to see how many cultures mostly use instant coffee in this video: Chefs From Around The World Make Coffee

If you prefer something quiet, keyboards with red silent switches are often available in pre-built options

Buy a second-hand one and you can always purchase new keycaps for a fresh feeling, but 25€ will be a tight budget anyway

I also recommand Task.org app to sync tasks with CalDAV and I use raw Markdown files with WebDAV, both using the DAVx5 app for synchronization. For editing Markdown, I prefer minimalist apps that suit my needs. Right now, I find SimpleMarkdown (with disabled telemetry) to be the best choice.

Boxwood is dense with extremely fine grain

I will probably choose this option 😉

 

This was my first time turning boxwood. I wanted to upgrade the handle of my espresso machine's portafilter. I’m really pleased with how smooth it turned out! Should I coat the boxwood, or is it fine as is?

Some distros and technologies can be more complex.

For Home Assistant, consider using Yunohost. It doesn't require Docker skills. You can find step-by-step guides on their website.

I guess gaming with Linux has always been tricky, you can check ProtonDB to see which games are easily compatible with Linux.

 

I started from oak lumber, which I cut down to size and then planed. I made six 308 mm wide panels.

To create the pentagons with a 190 mm edge length, I used a table saw and made a jig with an offset at 18 degrees.

The blade angle was set it to 31.7 degrees because, according to Wikipedia, the dihedral angle of a dodecahedron is 2arctan(ϕ), where ϕ is the golden ratio.

For assembly, I used flat glue and secured the joints with tape to ensure everything held together while the adhesive cured. This method allowed for a clean finish.

Now, I just hope my cat will use it! 😉
