I can imagine that the process of fabrication relies on tweaking a tremendous amount of parameters. In a sense seasoning a skillet and perfecting it to the max

> A lot of people have chosen to take the Hobbit as seriously as its older brother

Do you refer to the LOTR trilogy as The Hobbit's older brother here? I was under the impression that The Hobbit was the first book in this saga?

There is also Dokploy which is what I've been using on my homelab for a while. https://dokploy.com/

. There are countless posts on HN that describe people and businesses being blocked by a cloud provider like GCP. Hetzner is by all means not an outlier.

To me, blaming an activity which requires active participation for “brain-drain” is such a weird and quite dated thing. Take social media for example, these require no active participation other than moving your thumb up and down, and is in my opinion the real brain rot these days.

People will always find a way to get their dopamine, be it video games, reading, watching stuff, etc.

Don’t pick out a single thing and make it the boogey man.

I have no idea what you are talking about, I've used fedora for over a year now and aside from some tweaking, which I explicitly did myself, I've never had to go into some weird configs to change anything.

It just works

For a lot of people, work happiness is also a big factor, as it should. You’re spending at least 1/3rd of your whole day at your work. Choosing a specific path does not make you smarter per definition

I would argue the offering is actually very clear. A nice demo is included. If you’re not using any REST clients it might be a bit harder to understand but I doubt you’re the intended target group

I agree. I liked the idea but seeing an ideal number just puts pressure on something that shouldn't be.

Maybe create a casual/competitive toggle?

Anyways good job OP :)

I think what is happening here is that the python interpreter can be used as an executable. This way you don't have to install python on the host machine and can carry your programs on a USB stick for example.

Correct me if I'm wrong

I'm happy we don't let the building/access of infrastructure to companies only and instead let them work something out with the government/EU. In a country where space is not abundant, it would be hell to search through multiple proprietary stations to find the right charger.
