Every time I try to do the same thing I just end up renewing my Sublime. I've spent hours configuring and trying other editors and I just can't do it in the end - Sublime is so fast, productive, bloat-free, and perfect. I'll be watching this though for next time, because I know I'll try again at some point. Good luck!

Darn it, we'll never know if the cat gets reunited! It was a fun and unique, if too short, game.

I record everything on Plex off an antenna/hdhomerun and fast forward through all the cruft. We can watch about 3-4 hours of coverage each hour depending on the sport. There's no way I could watch it live. Plex will get a bit confused about whether or not an episode is new or not, so to prevent it missing anything I post process each file into a new library and fix up the episode name with a timestamp. This does result in some repeated recordings, but we just delete any matches we've already seen. Been doing it this way for the last few Olympics and it's manageable.

XFS does not do snapshots, replicas, and all the other myriad of things that ZFS does.

This is why all Olympics - whether ceremonies or matches - get recorded on the DVR, so we can skip past all the nonsense.

Heh, typing YAML anywhere is squinty business. :⁠-⁠)

So what do I have wrong here?

Nothing, as far as I'm concerned. I guess DEs have to constantly change or they become stale to some people. I'm an older guy than the normal demographic here too and stale is exactly what I want. I run i3 with a bunch of terminals, a browser, and sublime text when vi in a terminal isn't enough (yes, it's really vim, but it'll always be vi to me), and I xsetroot the classic weave pattern for my background. That's it. I don't need or want menus, widgets, themes, file managers or anything else. I guess someday Wayland will win, and I'll be forced to do something different, but until then, not changing this extremely productive and efficient environment.

I don't use Fedora, but I have ZFS on all my Arch systems for everything (including root fs). So, I'll make a guess - is the package you installed for ZFS a DKMS kernel module, or a binary one? That's the first thing. If it's a DKMS module, I don't see anything on your output showing it was compiled, which would explain the module not loading. If it's a binary module in that package, it must be for the exact same version of the kernel that is installed - exact same. If it mismatches then you need either a different kennel or different ZFS package. In either case, you'll probably need to wire in a hook for your initramfs, but it looks that part might be ok from your output. Hope that helps, good luck. ZFS is incredibly good.

Same here. Useful breakdown on tools, several of which I've used. I've invested a lot of time in FreeCAD thus far, and as I've learned how to do things with the right workflow to prevent errors it's really quite nice and very powerful - and it will continue to only get better with each release. Fortunately, there are great videos and posts when I do get stuck. I can't say enough good things about MangoJellys YouTube videos in learning how to do things the FreeCAD way - probably half of FreeCAD I'd never learn to use by just clicking around. I intend to continue down this road too, and have donated to the FreeCAD project and supported creators versus paying for commercial software. No regrets!

In a word - yes - i3 is incredibly productive and customizable, but it's not for everyone. I've been using i3 with no DE or DM for about a decade. Every time I try to use a full DE like KDE, Gnome, etc, it's just so slow and bloated, and gets in the way. And there's 100's of extra packages that get installed, and be updated, that I don't use. I don't need anything but terminals (of which I have about 40 open in 12 different virtual desktops), a browser, and an editor when vim isn't enough. So for me, it's perfect and simple. I don't know what will happen when Wayland finally wins, but that's 5-10 years away before it really wins.

I've found MangoJellys YouTube videos to be fantastic whenever I get stuck in FreeCAD. Worth following for random things that's over learned from his videos as well, such as some of the tutorials.

FreeCAD. It'll do everything, but you have to put some time into understanding it. Fortunately, there's are plenty of YouTube videos when you do get stuck.
