manjaro was terrible when I used it (several years ago), imo it is fundamentally broken. I would suggest trying a smoother arch install. I always recommend endeavoros because I had an effortless experience with it.

What do you mean by “no structure”? Afaik mongodb does not enforce a schema in a collection by default

great explanation, thanks!

just looked it up and couldn’t find a decent client for ios. There was Monal but it looks more like a draft rather than a finished application. Things don’t even have padding or margins. The snikket one I won’t even mention, you can’t expect people to use something that gives them visual discomfort.

This tool is for your use case. It comes with bonus privacy features like unique address for each service so they can’t cross track you

got it, apologies

I got that impression from your reply “lol that’s funny, you’re funny” to a completely non humorous comment

It is very weird that tools that support “onion” ssl - some way that would allow one layer of encryption for your “allowed” mitm which would keep almost all the request encrypted with key for the server.

I really don’t understand how a 5-10 minute meeting can get in the way of progress

from what you describe it does sound like a nightmare, but you’re ignoring or mocking people that tell you that it is not the norm

Also, tests ARE THE code, and equally important too! However so many people make the mistake of writing tests after the function, when the benefit is less immediate. They also have the illusion that they are done and have to do extra work. And since they didn’t write the test first, they most likely wasted a ton of time and energy on extra work of testing changes manually

Why isn’t this an app?

The main reason for this is that I wanted to create a voice assistant that is completely offline and doesn’t require any internet connection. This is because I wanted to ensure that the user’s privacy is protected and that the user’s data is not being sent to any third party servers.

Weird reasoning, why constrain the assistant to pi’s power and memory when you can use it for interaction and utilize another, more powerful server at home

There’s so many personal devices one may need, but I don’t think they’re in a slump just because one product they released didn’t work. Apple Silicon has been pretty revolutionary and it was only a few years ago.

I set it up last month. I’ve rarely experienced had such a smooth setup process. Was putting it off for years because I had assumed I would need at least several hours. Right now I have one on a server and then every device syncs to it (thought it would be easy to set up backups that way)

I got so excited about an app that would do both, went to App Store and got genuinely startled by how unpleasant it looked. I don’t understand when devs opt in to spend more time on custom styling when there are lots of properly designed libraries

yeah I really don’t understand why it’s not cheaper

What about hedgedoc?

yes, all of that are very important as well. Sometimes I think about how exhausting it is to follow all these, and try my best to forget about the fear of not falling asleep when going to bed. I’ve noticed that overcoming that psychological “surrender” had a big impact on nights where I experience some problems - it’s important to keep calm and not spiral. But damn, it’s hard living like this.

one more thing: I have to limit the amount of stress inducing activities throughout a day/days so my brain is not in alert mode for too long. I have social anxiety so this mostly means spending enough time at home, not going to more than 2 different places during one day, etc.
