Do you know how that works exactly or do you have a link where I can educate myself on the topic of using Python online in a sort-of-IDE? I‘m teaching Python fundamentals and don’t know how to sail around helping everyone with their individual problems with their machines while installing python or an ide.

In case you mean the games on iPhone on the App Store, they generate revenue for Apple via in game transactions and not by game sales necessary. What people typically play on PCs are not the same games. Most of the games, as you can see with CS2, aren’t even available on iOS or macOS which is a problem. Outside of that I think you can run the games for iPhone on Mac as well but even then optimisation is necessary.

That‘s what I use on Windows machines as well. I have to admit that I don’t care too much about duplicates as long as it’s not Gigabytes of dupes. There is software that might help with getting rid of duplicates (see Excire), the question is how much time it would take and how many TB of storage I could buy with the time lost. Outside of that: if images are meaningful to you, think about printing them out. It’s a different way of remembering the images and a printed out version feels different than digital. You don’t even have to hang them but touch them and go through them once in a while (I tend to not look through digital images ever after „archiving“ them). Good luck and don’t give up. It’s ugly for the first time but if you control the influx of new images in a meaningful way it‘ll get easier.

My naive solution was to gather everything at one place before sorting everything and backing it up on a NAS. It was a lot of work but I didn’t find anything that could’ve helped me to accelerate the process so I did it manually. After having everything at a single place it was pretty straight forward though. I’m using directories to sort my stuff because at the end it’s independent of software and tags that might deprecate at some point. I’ve backed everything up using rsync.

I was working with drones for a while and one issue with carrying weight was distance. If you want a drone capable of carrying weight it has to have a specific size to accommodate the heavy object as well as batteries that get heavier the longer you want to fly and the more power you need to transport said object. Outside of that rules about line of sight were a thing, so you couldn’t just let the drone fly a pre-programmed path but you also needed to see it. There is also a risk of being shot down. I think at the end of the day search and rescue or coast guards might use drones to deliver something very quickly if there is no other way but outside of that I see challenges that are rather hard to overcome.

Netflix was great but it got more crowded due to everyone wanting a piece of the cake. Now there are few shows or bunch of movies interesting to me that are either distributed evenly on multiple services or not available at my location at all. I’d be okay to pay as I go if there was at least one central way to access all content without ads and on demand but no one seems to be interested in that.

Jellyfin did so as well, they have transitioned to their own forums, too.

Can you elaborate or point me into a direction to read more?

Wait, what? What would be the advantage of this? There must be a reason why this is done like that?

Why do you think that the libraries that you have mentioned are not open source and what keeps you from using FOSS tools to label your data properly?

Do you have sources regarding an anti inflammatory effect of a keto and especially a carnivore diet? I‘m far from a medical expert so I’m genuinely interested.

Are they really gone though? Aren’t IEM still available for every budget?

How would you rate the performance? Is it sufficient for 4K HDR streams over your network?

It’s not Open Source and limited to the Apple ecosystem though

Depending on what you want to do, Obsidian with GitHub might do the trick.
