Starlabs have a tablet with keyboard designed to run desktop OS. Bigger than what you prefer though. https://in.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite

Car floor tunnels serve the same purpose. Increase rigidity at low material cost.

GNUJump doesn't really belong in a list that suggests installing packages with pkg, but that's the one this brings to the mind.

Is this copy/paste with highlight available globally or limited only to terminals?

I can do this with text highlighted in iterm. Highlighted text can be copied in other apps as well with Shift + Command + “v”. Or with terminal app, where the shortcut only works when used within terminal app itself.

Are track days the only viable place to find/meet these people who can help maintain such cars, or there are other ways. I couldn't hold back the question, but feel free to ignore

I would love to be limited by drivability rather than by economics from getting my hand on a Can-Am car. Good for you!

Figuring out a way to circumvent the rules was the reason for the F1 car being fascinating, and successful. It being a competition involving building the fastest car confirming to the prescribed Formula.

Figuring out that one of the services i was maintaining needed http connection pooling for calls to an external service to get within acceptable levels of performance. Spent a fair bit of time and effort to reach the conclusion and should have probably known to use it from the start, with it being a best practice followed in some other services already. Still, the whole process of finding/fixing the bottleneck left me very pleased.

The improved support for external monitors alone is enough to make one not want to go back to X11. No more fiddling with xrandr to fix scaling issues. Or being forced to settle for lower refresh rates if any one of the monitors or cables can't support higher rates. Moving to wayland has definitely resulted in a much better experience.

How often do the people here find that they have too much of down time at work? a bit tangential but asking since i find myself in this situation a bit too often.
