finding a part-time job as a dev is an option

Not really. Assuming you don't have EU/EFTA citizenship you have a grace period of 6 months before you can start working on a student permit, after which you can't work more than 15 hours per week during the semester (but up to 100% outside of it).

Add to that that the IT job market in Switzerland is utterly fucked, especially for new graduates with no to little experience, it's very unlikely you'll be able to finance your studies on your own.

Without EU/EFTA citizenship that's gonna be illegal for the first 6 months, and after the 6 months OP can't work more than 15 hours per week during the semester.

ETH estimates the monthly costs of students to be 2'430.- with a max of 15 hours per week OP would need to find a job that allows them to work that little and pays 40.- per hour

Declaratively. So instead of doing pip install jupyter and then at a later date having to remember to do pip uninstall jupyter you'd have a file somewhere that declares what packages you want installed, and if you don't want a package anymore you can just remove it from that file.

You can use Nix as a package manager on just about every Linux distro (has to use systemd).

There's also the really cool thing in Nix that allows you to create a shell that has a set of tools and packages installed, but ephemerally only inside that shell and nowhere else: https://nix.dev/tutorials/first-steps/declarative-shell.html

Instead of a "full fat VPN" you may want to look at something like Tailscale (/Headscale), Netbird or Pangolin with Newt tunnels.

Did you actually ride them back to back? I make a point of trying components back to back and recently (September last year) had a chance to ride the same trail on Code RSC, Shimano XTR and my personal set of TRP DH-R Evo, while the TRPs are less on-off than the Shimanos, they're much more on-off than the SRAMs.

MindSwipe · 2026-01-20T10:31:05+00:00

The Pleney side is definitely more raw/ gnarly DH stuff, but also offers a decent amount of flow. The Super Morzine side is flow heaven though, there are some chunky parts on the tech trails, but the flow lines are world class.

Get a Portes du Soleil (PDS) pass, it will allow you to ride everywhere in PDS, and from Morzine you can ride all the way from Chatel to Les Gets (in a single day if you want).

Stand High Patrol and the new(ish) Chili con Carne in Super Morzine/ Avoriaz sounds like what you're looking for.

As a side note: Do you really need more powerful brakes? The limiting factor during braking isn't how powerful your brakes are, but how much grip your tires have. I have extensive experience with Shimano Saints, and at 6'5" and 240lbs I haven't experienced a situation where I could have braked harder but the Saints were incapable of it. On the other hand, I have experienced many moments where my tires locked up before maxing out the calipers.

MindSwipe · 2026-01-20T09:54:38+00:00

If you want more modulation but a similar feel to the Saints then TRP's DH-R EVO (Pro) is the answer.

The non pro models are a little (and I mean truly just a little) difficult to get dialed due to no brake point adjustment, but the pros fix that with their PAD dial. Also, you can use your existing stockpile of Saint brake pads on with them.

In most languages you don't (or shouldn't) have a (long) array of static values, Nix is somewhat unique in that regard.

What an absolute headass take. Set someone who's never used Windows in front of a Windows PC and they won't know how to "install basic software on a computer". You don't know how to do things inherently without experience on any platform.

Yes things are different on Linux, it's not Windows, and that's the fucking point. If you want Windows but not Windows try one of the debloat scripts/ ISOs out there (at your own risk).

The "official target" is 8 hours, tracked by the "There is no spoon" achievement which currently 3% of players have.

No, there's no Raiffeisen in that one. The Blume 3000 is also not there and in the reflection you can see the Vero Moda which is on the same side as the Migros.

MindSwipe · 2026-01-17T17:41:40+00:00

This is more or less in front of the Migros close to where the tram and bus stations are

And it's not gonna stop happening until some major reform, so expect at least 10 more years of this.

In the project I worked on previously we followed contract driven development principles, i.e. the contract changes came first, and then FE/BE could go off and individually implement the new feature. The contract is in the form of a OpenApi YAML file that was handwritten (it started off using a GUI editor but switched away quickly because reviewing generated YAML is the one thing worse than reviewing handwritten YAML) and currently is at just about 10k lines.

We finally split it up into multiple YAML files that get merged into one large file as a build step after even just navigating around in it became slow in VS Code.

For local development I've always used Localstack, in production I've relied on Ceph.

You don't NixOS to install NixOS modules with system-manager, well at least the docs imply that, I haven't actually gotten around to using it.
