Although you really need to consider the peer group you are working with, and make the contribution as little work as possible. In my experience, as soon as the course is over people won’t want to do any extra work like change the formatting or integrating with existing materials. And requiring to use a specific format (even if it’s something dead simple as markdown) might already be too much friction.

In my experience shared cloud storage (GDrive, Dropbox,…) works quite well, even if the feature set is very limited. Being able to simply plonk your .docx/.pdf/.whatever into there is very easy and low friction.

A different solution I saw that worked was a forum where you could also upload files that could be categorized into the different courses and were then accessible by others. If you were to self-host this, you’d really want to make sure somehow that it’s not exploited to spread malware or worse.

Anyways, I wouldn’t think too much about how well the material can be represented, but rather how you can get your peers to continuously contribute to it. The best representation is useless without the data going with it.

Kind of interesting that these have been a thing in Europe. It’s all just regular taps and the few ones I have seen weren’t very popular.

the obsidian-git plugin. Auto commits and pulls/push every x minutes. Works great for me, I get full version control and works on all my platforms (Linux, Windows, Android). You just need to be careful with your .gitignore and add at least .obsidian/workspace.json to prevent conflicts.

Probably not suitable if you store larger files, but after a year of daily usage with tons of small images I’m still below 150 MB.

do you have any source that would provide 4k content? I feel like even 720p is good enough at a decent bitrate. But it also depends on the size of the screen and the distance to it.

2 kW is a ton of power required to keep a single room warm assuming you ran that continuously.

It’s some piece of art and the resemblance is intentional. Search for “Buttplug Gnome” to find out more.

Well not if you’re on Ubuntu and need the latest version of e.g. npm for some nvim plugin, because that version is not in the repository.

somepackage requires otherpackage version >10.1.79

otherpackage is already at latest version

Have fun compiling it yourself and messing up what is managed by the package manager and what’s not. And don’t forget that the update might break some other package along the way

don’t forget autoplay video and music

You really should. Probably right now.

I also never understood why we are moving away from alkaline/NiMH for low power devices such as scales. My cheapo scale takes 2 AAA cells which I have to charge like once a year. They are safer and designed to be replaced. And probably also cheaper in production.

The one made out of plastic? That one sucks compared to the one I mentioned before.

MS Teams does not work properly on Firefox for example (I’m forced to use it once in a while for work). Same with other web-apps that often don’t function correctly.

On Android Chrome manages to stay open while multitasking while Firefox will close the tab 90% of the time requiring reloading the page. That’s especially annoying during check-out or logins when I need to switch to a 2FA app.

Eh, if someone comes up with such a comparison it immediately tells that they don’t know what they’re talking about. Like, linseed oil was also used for waterproofing (oilskin), yet it is quite healthy. Other applications/occurences of a substance simply don’t tell you anything about it being good or bad for you.

How can you make sugar water taste bad? Or am I not getting something here?

Yep, the other comment is even more ChatGPT-ish. And the account was created today. Guess that’s a bot.

Take that as you will, but you sound like ChatGPT.

well, I managed to upgrade from 16.04 to 22.04 without any major issues

I also remember services you could pay to get your captcha solved via a browser extension. You could also register as a captcha solver there to earn a few bucks stupidly solving captchas. Although I’m not sure if they were actually legit.
