The reason you do stuff in a venv is to isolate that environment from other python projects on your system, so one Python project doesn’t break another. I use Docker for similar reasons for a lot of non-Python projects.

A lot of Python projects involve specific versions of libraries, because things break. I’ve had similar issues with non-Python projects. I’m not sure I’d say Python is particularly worse about it.

There are tools in place that can make the sharing of Python projects incredibly easy and portable and consistent, but I only ever see the best maintained projects using them unfortunately.

Here’s how I would do this in blender:

1. Import the stl
2. edit the default cube so it overlaps the part of the stl you want to delete
3. add a “boolean” modifier to the stl that is set to “subtract” the cube
4. apply modifier
5. export as stl

They give the US a military presence in a strategic location.

99% of the time I pay with my phone or tapping my card.

The only time I end up signing is restauraunt receipts.

There are no masked people hunting people on the streets and putting them into vans without plates. Videos about that happening almost every day, especially so in last week are all fakes and Russian propaganda (even when Ukrainian sources write about it).

The source you linked doesn’t support your claims at all.

Some people got arrested relating to not following the law relating to the draft. Yes, that’s terrifying. It’s still not even remotely close to what you are claiming.

Could I run larger LLMs with multiple GPUs? E.g. would 2x3090 be able to run the 48GB models? Would I need NVLink to make it work?

FOSS lightweight ”virtual machine” (it’s not quite a VM but it’s similar conceptually. It’s much lighter on your system than a VM).

Easy to install, setting it up for your use case may take some coding if it isn’t common (bash scripting experience will help).

All I want is to host this on my server and have it download the latest offline installer of my GoG games automatically.

Honestly this is kinda good press IMO. When the people who actively do have something to hide are using a given privacy tool, that tool probably works.

Mexico is a large country. There are perfectly safe parts and dangerous parts.

You can still make stupid mistakes in Rust. It may make it harder to make the most common mistakes, but pretending the guardrails are prevent any type of mistake is asking for a problem to happen.

/home is for every program to store its personal junk in hidden files apaprently

Xubuntu is more than fine. Tbh it doesn’t hugely matter which distro you use for this type of thing

Honestly if you buy a Mac give macOS a try. It’s Unix based so you’ll feel at home in the command line. It doesn’t come with a command line package manager but there are two popular ones you can install (homebrew and macports).

If he was really into the idea of a diverse set of browsers he’d mention Gnome Web / Epiphany rather than leave it as “Safari doesn’t run on Linux”.

Unfortunately it really doesn’t. And it’s actually Linux that’s the bigger problem: whenever it decides to updates GRUB it looks for OSes on all of your drives to make grub entries for them. It also doesn’t necessarily modify the version of grub on the booted drive.

Yes I’m sure there’s a way to manually configure everything perfectly but my goal is a setup where I don’t have to constantly manually fix things.

My experience was that the school provided free Windows keys for a personal computer if you needed one (they didn’t provide the computer itself) but the majority of computers I interacted with on campus (mostly in the computer lab) were Linux (some Debian variant iirc). I think the printing computers in the library were windows. I took an art class at one point and they had Macs (it was for using the Apple’s Final Cut Pro).

We never used LibreOffice though. Everyone just uses Google Drive.

You can also just make bare got repositories on any server you can ssh into.

What I want in $HOME are the following directories:

If I’m on a GUI-based environment:

• Desktop
• Documents
• Downloads

In general:

• .local
• my_junk_folder_i_made

I’d like everything else to live within something like ~/.local thanks

The noveau drivers don’t work with Nvidia cards on x11 either.
