I specifically look for efficient projects when I have a choice. Also most of my video media is in 720p. The 8 IP cameras I run in lower resolution as well, though that's mainly to avoid network bandwidth issues.

Honestly I have not run into any memory issues.

Immich, Jellyfin, Gonic, Snapcast, Slskd, Audiobookshelf, Transmission, Automatic Ripping Machine, Vaultwarden, Frigate, Home Assistant, Actual Budget, Pocketbase, Vikunja, Forgejo, Readeck, Backrest/Restic, Gotify, Uptime Kuma, Homepage, Caddy, Shared network folder with spouse

I also run Cockpit and Beszel but don't use them often.

Router runs Adguard, Wireguard, and OpenVPN.

And I can rip the special features.

They also have a lot of vertical integration, they manufacture many of the products they sell.

If you're relying on focus stealing or popups or notifications to tell you when your equipment is on fire, you're doing it wrong.

Telling that among OECD countries, the US is an outlier in having a much lower average funding ratio, and this despite the fantastic performance of the US stock market over the last 15 years.

Users simply had to change the basic "facts" (who was available on what days, how many people were needed), and the program solved for the various constraints and offered solutions.

It was maybe about 300 lines of Prolog, no complex dependencies. It replaced a pile of Python scripts that required a lot of state, didn't really work, and could only run on a few specific computers.

For regular users, it was relatively easy to understand and change the facts. SWIPL for web also offers a nice "notebook" interface that lets you mix data, code, and markdown / output blocks so the documentation was inline.

This is a special case of a general fundamental point I'm struggling with.

Let's assume AI has reduced the marginal cost of code to zero. So our supply of code is now infinite.

Meanwhile, other critical factors continue to be finite: time in a day, attention, interest, goodwill, paying customers, money, energy.

So how do you choose what to build?

Like a genie, the tools give us the power to ask for whatever we want. And like a genie, it turns out we often don't really know what we want.

Never understood why they don't propose the update when the call has ended.

I never met an FSI graduate who felt their language training was great. I met many who felt it wasn't, and many who had to effectively relearn the language when they arrived in country.

I suspect it's due to my mobile operator doing traffic shaping / QoS that deprioritizes UDP VPN.

In contrast, connecting to OpenVPN over TCP was a huge improvement. Not at all what I expected.

This is way better than arguing with partner about the proper height, making a destructive hole, then having to cover/patch when opinions or artwork change. My walls are not drywall, so that was a big factor, but the freedom to arrange/rearrange is a major benefit.
