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.

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.

It's just the same thing as man -k.

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).
