to extend this, look in the errors/bugs section of the software to see, that can at least allow you to brainstorm some solutions.

to make your own FOSS project, it’s not as easy as creating it, you need motivation something that you are trying to improve, that (simply put) doesn’t exist In other open source projects.

I’ve recently made scripts that convert scilab code to MATLAB since I use xcos often for my engineering coursework, my university uses MATLAB which is why I spend my free time on creating it.

it does feel package installs are much faster on arch than on Debian. Then again, Debian probably has a bunch of precautionary steps when installing a package, such as checking for dependencies/dependency conflicts and verifying the package has been installed without error.

that said this is all true, your desktop environment uses a lot of memory gnome uses something along the lines of 1GB and same goes witu KDE. I’ve optimized my memory usage very well with mangoWM, on idle it uses like 600 MB. My browser uses more memory than my entire OS.

depends on how familiar I am with the software. generally (and this is being more on the conservative end) I’d wait for a developer to fix it, if I am familiar with how the software works, I won’t even look for complex software, I’d just build it on my own get the initial bugs out and improve it if it needs improvement.

I’ve done this a couple of times but whenever I do bring this up, I usually give the time when I made a script to convert my scilab code into MATLAB code. My linear algebra professor uses MATLAB for compiling and running code and I’m too petty to use it. yes, the reason I made a script can be generalized to my pettiness and hatred for MATLAB.

“I use arch BTW” 😂

which entails that there must be cables…

Maybe he’s only a minimalist in his white on white desktop environment 😝

good speculation!

I could not bring myself to researching what the fuck OP posted. I had a brain fart looking at it.

for me its 11-12 hours, 8 hours in the morning and another 3-4 hours in the afternoon

the reason browsers use so much memory is a result of JavaScript, read justfuckingusehtml.com to get more insight.

the browser I used that got the least amount of memory is emacs (eww). Sure it doesn’t have js but it is a literal goldmine of the best articles your eyeballs have layed on since 2015. the internet nowadays has become so enshittified I use eww just so I can get away from the dumbed down shit search results that come from these (clearly) money motivated outlets. Those MF have no passion whatsoever, they’re init for the $$$.

If you still want js, use qutebrowser, it doesn’t have extensions but at 300 MB it’s the best option out there, I do like the UI and overall navigation: it takes inspiration from vim/nvim and you can keybind shortcuts for specific functions.

its great in the sense it offers both glibc and musl, between using void and arch, I do prefer arch more; faster installation times and it uses about the same memory (on idle) as it would with void. in the end I chose arch Linux as I’m more familiar with it; I’ve been using it for 4 months now and there are specific applications i use that are easier to install and get on arch than with void.

as I continue to say, arch now is what windows 10 was 10 years ago, you have AUR, you have pacman. With some minor problem solving here and there, applications haven’t been easier to install on linux.

anarchist cookbook.

simple answer, yes, but that depends what you are going for.

for something as simple as an electrical heating element, it works by a short circuit. non shorted circuits have grounds (of which voltage is 0) this is accomplished by adding resistors, capacitors, or inductors in parallel/series (generally speaking). Now a short circuit is where you have a source connected to a wire and as current goes through that loop it will increase the amount of current since you have no element disappating the voltage/current and that energy must go to heat.

this is why I say “never to use floor heaters” since they are incredibly inefficient, energy costs go up which will end up costing more for a few hours than if you just turned on the central heat a few degrees.

as for modern transistors, its different than just doing a short circuit, there’s actual resistors and capacitors inside it than it just being a short circuit as per my previous answer. where the heat accumulates is the 20+ billion of those that’s 5 cm x 5 cm in size. for integrated (IC) circuits, electrical/electronic engineers usually work in the mW or 10^-3 W the fact that CPU’s/GPU’s (especially the desktop varients) use 120 W to 400/500 W puts into scale how much fucking energy these motherfuckers use. Heat is a given in these circumstances, were talking 10^5 larger in wattage than most IC circuits and elements (op-amps, resistors, capacitors, inductors) would ever use.

its never lupus.

but accelerating that hot dog to the speed of light and you could probably do some damage…

goddammit I will never unsee that. thanks for burning it in my mind, I’m now going to chuckle when some says SAAS.

you forgot emacs, JavaScript is BS anyways for research, its only good for logging into portals/externally hosted services. for research you just need html

this HTML website summarizes JS pretty well: justfuckingusehtml.com

OpenOffice and libreoffice are a few that support ODF/ODT files.

bought a Chromebook to just put Linux on it.

this is what god would have wanted, I’m doing gods work.

in a world where everything is dominated by convenience, eg. AI being a convenient source of information, GUI’s being a conveniet way of navigating information. I chose my distro to do the complete opposite. I wanted a distro that if an error arises it would give me a detailed message, not some vague response like “check the logs” where It doesn’t explain how to navigate there.

you may know where im going with this, I went with Cauchy OS and hyprland primarily for the speed of the kernel and the surplus amount of information and documentation with AUR. I cannot leave arch on the basis of how fast it is, for a massive update to install the latest core packages of the OS it takes about 2 min whereas fedora takes 15 and well windows (comediaclly, stereotypically popularized by space force) takes 45 minutes, we’ll leave it at that. The reason I chose hyprland is strictly on the same notion that learning skills does make the tools you use convenient, hyprland uses keybind over traditional mouse for navigating, launching apps, opening terminals, etc… and you become much faster with keybinds whereas a mouse is limited by the performance of it. using hyprland came to me as an extension when my professor taught me emacs (a TUI based text-editors). its why over the years (despite having used one initially) I just continue to despise IDE’s for writing code especially with most editors shipping proprietary AI into the mix. It’s not convenient anymore when I have to delete every code suggestion the AI makes.

“convenience” has effectively lost all of it’s meaning in technology. To me, convenience has been popularized to justify intellectual laziness, and embraced by tech orgs because they can capitalize off of it.

I can’t even recall the number of times backups saved my ass in a workspace. too many times, too many times (yes I learned the usefulness of backups the hard way)
