Can confirm, grew beard during lockdown, never went back!

I dont know what everyone is so upset about, the shotgun feels fine, the recoil doesnt feel bad, and the mag size isnt a huge problem for me.

Plus the flamethrower buff and laser cannon buff are super nice. Im usually in favor of the whole “buff everything else, no debuff” but this honestly feels fine.

Yea im pretty sure flatpak suports bundles that you can install directly, just like an appimage

If OP is a journalist or refugee at risk of being targeted and killed, my advice is don’t use a VPN, use TOR lol.

Not untrue, and I don’t think that the possibility should be glossed over, but honestly, what do you think is more likely: this specific person getting specifically MitM’ed by a bad actor, or a bad actor taking control of a repo that hundreds of people blindly trust. I have a sneaking suspicion that OP’s threat model isn’t sophisticated enough to need to really, truly, be worrying about that.

What are you on about? If you are using the 3rd party repo, you are just as likely to get malware than if you download the deb directly from the wbsite. Its literally the same thing, just adding the repo means that the malware could get installed automatically and without you knowing where it came from.

Exactly! 3d printing has been the glue for a lot of my hobbies. Ill find that tos and stuff i buy for one thing will eventually make a different hobby i have easier to get into. It helps me swallow the “ADHD Tax” on hobby jumping lol.

You should! Its a ton of fun, plently of places to play online. Unfortunetly in person play seems to still be recovering post-COVID in a lot of places, so it can be tough to play in person.

I am definitely someone whos hobby is exploring hobbies, but these are the ones that ive circled back around to:

Gaming, Programming, Go (an abstract strategy game similar to chess), 3D Art (Blender), DnD, and Warhammer 40k

As another Certified Hobby Jumper… i feel you. I like to frame it as exploring hobbies is one of my hobbies :) lol. Getting into something new is a ton of fun, even if it doesnt last.

I just had to switch my work computer from Arch to Ubuntu becusse they want MDM on all computers now, and flatpaks are litetally the only reason i can tolerate it.

I now prioritise getting stuff from flatpaks, then the repos, and if they dont exist i use Distrobox to export any app thats only on the AUR for example.

Just setup cert-manager for a client at our work thats moving to a Kubernetes cluster. Setup the ACME issuer using DNS Cloudflare challenges, its awesome how simple it is to even get internal hostnames with certs.

Ads like this really arent all that scumny my dude, i mean at least IMO lol.

You gotta pay the creator to use the app. Sync isnt free, You either pay with ads, or you pay with your buckaroos. Thats just how it works. And its pretty transparent. No trying to dupe you, hes not secretly selling your data (at least as far as i know). Either view ads so he gets paid, or pay him directly. I dont see anything wrong with this business model. The issue i have with ads is the intrusiveness of them, or the stealth of them. Reddits ads are scummy because they look like reddit posts, thats not cool.

Implementing ads after getting a user base (like in your lemmy.world example) is different because they are changing the model. If i were to join an instance that started off with ads, id be less miffed because if i like it enough i can stay and view ads / pay, or i would move to a different instance. I wouldnt call it scummy. I would understand that they gotta pay bills to keep that server on, and thats how they decided to do it.

For what its worth, i am a FOSS guy all the way, and take all opportunity to block ads. But im also willing to pay for software that i think deserves it. I donate to my lemmy instance, and have paid for Sync Ultra, because they are both great and the maintainers deserve to get paid :)

I also have a foldable, and forgot how much i missed using Sync because of the foldable support. Got it today and am in love all over again lol

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

The callbacks not being widely known about was my concern as well, as I had only heard about them when researching a solution for this, lol. I’ll probably stick with my solution, and write a page in the documentation describing what they are and how to use them, to hopefully make it clear.

Ill take a look at Traitlets too! Thanks!

yup! I enjoy their CI stuff more, and its not owned my Microsoft, so thats a plus :)

Plus we use gitlab selfhosted at work, so its just what Im used to.

Oh man, you’re right! Whoops. I’ll go ahead and add that, lol.

I appreciate that! Glad im not doing anything horribly wrong… I’ll have to play around with the init script to see how to make it easier to get the needed functions.

I do have a pertinent question I forgot to ask about in my main post if you have some time, though. I am using SocketIO for their realtime API, and needed to figure out how to pass events received from the socket onto the client that is using the wrapper. I opted for requiring callback functions to be registered for the different events we could receive, that way they can choose what functions they want called when we get the event, but is that the best way to do it? I couldn’t think of any other method to pass that event in an async fashion, lol.

Thanks! I figure my code can be pretty bad but if my documentation is at least decent people will be able to use it lmao.

Just discovered dataclasses the other day actually, Im using it for OGSCredentials and am happy with how easy it was, so I will be converting other stuff over to it as well!
