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.

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.

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!

rxvt-unicode - lightweight and nearly perfect, and one of the few that handles fonts well.

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.

You just have to invest the time to learn it. There's nothing I've done in other platforms that I haven't been able to do in FreeCAD. I also don't find it harder to learn or more obtuse than other tools I've used (Fusion360, SolidWorks, Blender) - but you do have to understand how to do things the way FreeCAD wants you to. Once you get over that, you'll learn how to work around the limitations and see how truly powerful it is. When you do get stuck, there are tons of YouTube videos to help, and the documentation isn't terrible.

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.

CAD Sketcher improves Blender a bit, but it's still not good enough to turn Blender into a dimensionally accurate CAD, and I found the UI to be fairly clunky and if anything even less intuitive than FreeCAD, honestly.

Ah, I thought you were displaying on both outputs, not switching between them, hence my mirroring comment. I suspect XFCE, not the DM, detects the output change and takes care of it. You might need to emulate that behavior with a hook of some type that you have to setup yourself with the tiling WM, and you might have to --off the unused display. I'd be willing to bet you can find some sort of hook script out there that can do this, I seem to recall an autorandr program I used in the past where you could set up output profiles. I hope that helps, maybe a little bit.

I have a couple - one doorbell cam and an Argus Pro. I don't really integrate them with my HASS setup though - haven't found a compelling reason to do so. Avoid the battery powered cameras like the Argus Pro though - nearly useless (poor object detection, no RTSP, slow to connect, no HASS integration).
