Mobile rack is just what these things seem to be called. Basically it's just a cage that fits multiple 2.5" drives into a CD/DVD drive bay.

Yes, a while ago, at the beginning of the project, and eventually decided against it. GTK, despite it's terrible documentation for python was just a more robust desktop app framework.

I quite heavily rely on sliders, dropdown lists and a file browser and while it's possible to do that in pygame, it's just too clunky.

Yes. For some reason yesterday, while trying to use the demo it just returned a login screen. Strangely, today it just logs in automatically.

Is it just me or there are no login credentials for the demo listed anywhere?

Maybe give FileBrowser a shot. It's not very fast, but it's very easy to setup and keeps your folder structure intact.

If RAID is what you're after, don't mind the premium for SSD storage and have available 5.25" bays, I highly recommend 5.25" mobile racks. The one I'm using is a a cheap 4 drive one, but if you want something more premium there is always ICY DOCK.

Exactly. Just as a real world example for OP, my home server has an i5 7400 with the same TDP. At idle the whole system draws around 10.5W, measured from the wall.

Completely agree with you. I'm definitely underqualified to speak of this, as I have no children, but I have a masters degree in pedagogy, started a PhD in pedagogy years ago that I never finished and briefly worked as a teacher, but I've never once in my life saw as little as a proper article with any proof that belief in Santa is in any way beneficial to a child's developement.

Moreover I honestly believe it's detrimental. Such belief often leaves children in poor families disappointed and resentful when they see their friends get much more impressive gifts. On top of that such belief leads to ungrateful and entitled behavior in children as they believe they are owed a present, without understanding the sacrifices their parents have to make to buy this present.

Tldr: Please don't make your kids worship capitalist mascots, if you want them to have a magical childhood just read them a book or spend quality time with them.

I would love to have an open, hackable, linux-based eBook reader.

Just gave it a try, and it seems to work just fine like that. Thank you.

Just with different environment variables?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Is it ok to just run a few instances with just different port numbers and environment variables? Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I thought some isolation was needed, even planned on running the instances as different users. Also, thank you for the detailed explanation.
