Ill steal some suggestions I liked from other commenters and add my own.

• Draw a picture
• Write a letter to someone
• Find home on the map and calculate distances to school, grandparents, friends, etc
• Make a simple song
• Design something simple using CAD software (you’d need to find something really simple to learn/use. Someone suggested a program that I assume allows you to design minecraft buildings external to minecraft)

And most importantly for me:

• Research one or several topics. Youd need to do the research yourself beforehand, as well as pick topics you know align roughly with your child’s areas of interest, but if they gain the skill of looking up information for themselves and finding the answer, pretty much anything is within their grasp IMO. Maybe set this as the first one so they can apply it for whatever further challenges you set them (extreme example but e.g. “How to create dog in blender” if you set them the task of using blender to design something). On that note, maybe set 2 distinct types of research topics - such as technical tasks and information tasks. What I mean is: “how do i install x, y, z program and use it” would be a technical task in my opinion, whereas something like “why are farmers legally forbidden from replanting seeds from their crops” would be an information task.

Best of luck!

What am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts, or what am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts AND have the other person understand and change their view/opinion on? Two different scenarios

I mean, i also only post/comment on lemmy to elicit responses, am I a troll too? Thats kinda the point of posting/commenting. Hes not doing it for ragebaiting as far as i can tell. I also think it would be attention seeking if that was the entire content of his profile, but its not. He posts in communities about the community topic, and it seems to be adding value to those communities. He just uses a dofferent way of writing and you call him a troll, a well known one too.

Why do you think hes a troll? I stalked his account after you said that and it seems perfectly normal. Also in a previous comment he mentioned its to mess with scrapers. Not sure how viable/valid that is, but i see no indication of him being a troll, let alone a well-known one

Well i hardly expect the pope to be a smoker

I usually cant eat breakfast, it just wont go down. Im usually OK with just a big lunch followed by snacks following, though i do sometimes forget to eat lunch and realise late at night that I havent eaten all day

What part of europe are you from my friend?!?

If you know greek its a whole different title 😁

This seems to be basically what I want to achieve, except I realised it only works on official arch repos and so doesnt sync the DB for the AUR, which I’d like. I started looking into it and a way I can use just yay to sync the local DB with the remote since its just a wrapper for pacman, but I got a bit lost.

Using yay to sync both official and aur I think also means I need to create only one .timer and one .service files to sync the DBs, instead of having one of each for checkupdates and whatever yay command I use, right?

Any ideas for what I could use without needing to enter sudo password since it needs to run in the background?

Thanks

EDIT: I solved the passwordless issue I think by adding this to my sudoers:

myuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/yay -Sy --noconfirm

I verified by running yay -Sy --noconfirm and it worked without asking for password so I think if I use that in my systemd timer service if will work, but now I would like to check against the local DB everytime I open the terminal.

EDIT 2: In my .bin/check_last_update.sh script I replaced this line

num_packages_to_update=$(checkupdates | wc -l)

with this:

num_packages_to_update=$(yay -Qu | wc -l)

I think it works now, but I’m not sure if the -Qu flags also check for AUR updates.

Y’all

I also play a lot of eve online, and the ships engine looks a lot like the capacitor meter in the game 😁

I was so sad when i watched the last episode (it had been over for a while but i had only recently found the show and binged it). Its so good

I dont have youtube so i use it as my main mobile video viewing app. So far im happy with it. I have the youtube and odysee plugins. Devs also seem to be responsive and helpful on github, as i found out when i did a derp i thought was a bug but wasnt and opened an issue.

Ive got one (not the one you mentioned) which is quite good. I don’t think its quite at the level of the one you said, but it should be decent.

If that’s the case I’ll turn this into an exercise. I’ll make a simple testing circuit once I’m done with my thesis and see how many I can save. Worst case I get some practice. Best case I get a set of switches for free and recycle. Most likely I’ll fry some, save others, and have a stock of spares and some experience. Thanks!

I wouldn’t call myself skilled by any means, but I have some experience with it, and have some tools available (flux, wick, etc)

Ok, I might be dumb, but I dont get the text on the top of the meme. Anyone care to explain?

I switched because of neovim, and got used to it. I was never the kind of guy to press caps to type capitals, always just kept shift pressed down with my pinky, so i basically never used the caps key anyway

Commenting because fellow caps-esc swap enthusiast, and I would like to know the answer as well

Could you elaborate on what you mean please?

Edit: I seem to be getting downvotes, so Id just like to clarify, I wasnt being smart or sarcastic in any way, just genuinely didnt understand what the comment OP meant xD
