Agreed, the open source Linux and Windows versions feel pretty much DOA without the ability to reference and port the macOS source code

We currently use external runners (Blacksmith.sh), but that didn't shield us from this as GitHub actions is still the control plane for triggering and monitoring them.

We're now considering Buildkite (apparently they have a GH actions migration tool) or self hosting something (GitLab CI, maybe even Jenkins), as it looks like that would've kept ticking over since we're still seeing webhooks being triggered today during the downtime.

Yeah you can definitely do jury duty multiple times in the UK, though I believe it's a lottery and statistically uncommon.

I've ended up doing it twice, within a few years of each other. Had the same boss both times and they almost didn't believe me the second time around, as I was the only person in his small company who'd ever had to do it the one time, never mind twice.

>I know everyone jusy says "build your own!!!11" I used to be like that too I love tech. But sometimes we just want a tool that just plugs in and works, so we can reach our final goal faster.

Same here. I have a couple of boxes running Proxmox in my homelab and I like to tinker, but I also have a DS918+ ticking away with my most important files as I just want something simple that works and is reliable

Half of the "build your own" stuff I've had over the years has at some point broken in some weird and exotic way, requiring a bit more manual upkeep and tweaking than I'd like from a box that is mostly just an SMB share

Slight mitigation to this is you can add an automation via the Shortcuts app to be triggered when airplane mode is enabled, and set the actions to immediately lock your device and disable airplane mode

Downside is that you need to manually disable the automation if you actually wish to use airplane mode (and also remember to re-enable it when done)

Unfortunately I've found the screens on the older ones to be quite fragile (at least the 4th gen)

I went through a phase of buying used 4th gen ones off ebay so that I could have physical buttons to turn the page, but within a couple of months they would always end up up with cracked screens

They would be stored in my bag next to my laptop (and in a case) but at some point I would end up pulling it out to read and find a cracked screen

I think I went through 4 of them before I called it quits, my current paperwhite is still going strong (just no buttons sadly)

Mind sharing your thoughts on other options? I've only been exposed to Tailwind recently and been thinking about utilising a UI component library at some point

I have two identical monitors (Lenovo ThinkVision P27h-20) that I can reliably reproduce the random position switching under macOS when waking from sleep

The solution I've come to is to use USB-C with one, and HDMI with the other. This way they both have a unique footprint and macOS keeps them in the correct position. The main downside, I lose use of the USB ports on the one monitor

Ah this is great, just spent 30 mins playing this on the London underground as it works offline too
