I’d say it works such that any mildly technically competent person can use it.

The problem is that I know The absolute surface level nature of most people’s technical ability.

The dual file system nature of winboat would probably cause you issues. All you have to do is save your work to the folder that you have shared between both os’s, but equally, I know full well the majority of computer users don’t know what a file or directory structure is.

I have been managing with winboat for my office requirements.

I did try the ‘ouch’ feature and that was fun for all of 10 minutes and then it moved very quickly into annoying so that feature got disabled.

Can confirm it works and is great. I’m even running a Glados voice pack on it that insults me while it cleans.

Only issue I’ve had the whole time was actually this week when I finally updated the valetudo re version to support the new home assistant MQTT format and the update got stuck but that was an easy fix once I worked out what it was.

My biggest issue with the vote was that Brexit didn’t win.

48% votes to remain and 52% percent votes for 6 different and often mutually exclusive relationships. Which was proven as soon as negotiations began and why there should have been a vote on the final deal which would have certainly failed. But instead people voting for a Norway model or a Swiss model all got counted alongside the lunatics that would have physically dragged the UK further into the Atlantic to get away from Europe given the chance.

It wasn’t 48% Vs 52%, it was 48% vs 8% and 8% and 8% …

What if your compiler is compromised? https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_ReflectionsonTrustingTrust.pdf

It depends on the level of mistrust you’re willing to entertain but the short version is; no, you cannot be sure.

Ken Thompson’s 1983 talk, Reflections on trusting trust is the classic talk on just why you cannot be sure.

The point, is that people don’t like thinking about this subject, as evidenced by the fact that half of people don’t put plans in place even when it’s something as comparatively simple as a will unless they get more imminent prior warning. This is not a Linux kernel specific issue, Bram and vim being an obvious example. Something as potentially complicated as the Linux kernel succession? I can see why it wouldn’t be a subject the community was keen to tackle.

Have you got a will?
Estimated 50% of adults don’t. There’s always a more pleasant task on the to-do list to be getting on with.

There is a continuity process at least https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/102606402f4f5943266160e263c450fdfe4dd981 Although it is mainly, here is the process to figure out the plan.

I was managing with virtual box on the work machine. But following win 11 the performance under hyper v is so appalling that I gave up.
In the end my solution is a 2nd hand ThinkPad off FB marketplace that I use for work.
Browser apps cover all the word/excel/outlook/teams requirements.
Winboat is covering the very limited set of other apps.
Everything else I do works better in Linux, or at least better on a device I have admin for.
Yes I am out of pocket but not significantly, and not having to deal with windows has been completely worth it for me.

I thought it might be a reference to prof. But that didn’t seem like enough for a (fake) book cover so I was wondering if I missed something.

Someone please explain the Linux profiling one to me.

He can buy his freedom by using his wealth to finally release hl3

Depending on your requirements there is also esphome on an esp32-cam board. Works fine if you just want to stream the video.

I wouldn’t say it was my favourite FTL but it has some interesting implications.

The artificial wormholes of The Algebraist by Ian Banks. I can’t say too much if you haven’t already read it, but it’s artificial wormholes that have to be transported sublight.

All the new wormholes are of course lovely and high capacity, but much of the network is still the original tiny little ones first installed. So your military at least uses kilometer long needle ships that can fit through these small points.

Think fitting an aircraft carrier through a Stargate.

If your garden is that size then a boundary wire system is very manageable. You got any tricky elements? Ponds, step slopes etc?

Also while I’m fully in favour of HA integration that is going to push the price up. But what’s the scenario you want that for? Robomowers are a good fire and forget application. No integration needed, but if you really must there are some easy modifications involving the rain sensor that can give some limited control.

I was going to suggest tech literacy levels as Finland is basically joint top in Europe joint with Netherlands. But while the Netherlands has above average Linux usage it’s not close to Finland.
