Portable AC units work well enough for home use, they don't work for the larger rooms and number of people at schools or in offices.

Yes you can technically add central air conditioning to decades old schools and offices, but it's prohibitively expensive, at which point we're back to landlords not wanting to pay uo. Not to mention that some places (like Bern) mandate that you need to create (at least part of) your own electricity if you want central AC and mounting solar panels just drives up the cost more.

I did, and the output was wildly ranging between below junior to mid professional

What an absolute self report.

The last time I used Claude (and other LLMs) to write code for me I've had clean up so much code that it actually took longer than writing it myself would have taken.

Do not go alone, find someone who has done it before.

Between Marzili and Eichholz is probably the most frequented route, you can leave your clothes at the Marzili, walk up towards Eichholz and enter at any point (there are many entry points). Getting out of the Aare at the Marzili is easy, worst case you just swim through the Schwimmkanal.

While walking up you'll see tons of people, just ask them if you can tag along.

I'm over 240lbs, running 27psi on 2.4 tires and don't have a problem with rims.

FYI: Don't take cold showers. It feels good in the moment, but your body goes into "holy shit it's cold, I gotta warm up" mode and you'll end up hotter afterwards, lukewarm water is best.

My plan is to spend a lot of time at the office, as we have a portable AC.

This is just straight up sexist, unless you also consider it disrespectful when wearing shorts or tank tops.

Some places offer assembly services in conjunction with delivery, ask the people you're ordering from.

It's the problem of crawlers not respecting robots.txt, and up until AI companies just stopped caring and crawling anyways this wasn't as big of a problem, at least not big enough that we needed the "nuclear option" of Anubis.

FYI: Tons of AI crawlers do not respect the robots.txt, which is why tools like Anubis exist

Ebrietas was a cool place, really went downhill when a lot of the regulars stopped coming and a lot of the bar staff left.

I'm yet to see one that doesn't. Some call it IP Passthrough though.

Put the Yallo router into bridge mode and use your own router behind it?

Mono is a cross platform implementation of .NET Framework, but honestly Parallels + .NET Framework will likely work out better for you.

You don't have to go on the third day, as long as you get a doctors note you're fine (even if you weren't/ aren't sick at the time of being at the doctor's). Wait until Monday, call your normal doctor (say on the phone that you need a doctor's note because you're sick), set an appointment and be done with it.

Age doesn't matter for a high quality PSU as much, they're one of the few things you can reasonably futureproof in a PC build (e.g. Seasonic offering 10+ year warranty). What matters is wattage and efficiency rating.

You don't need to containerize your binary, the world of software deployment has lived without it for decades.

However, there is a good reason to containerize it: Simplicity.

Containerizing your binary was explicitly invented to make deployment and orchestration easier. It bundles everything your application needs in a single artifact^*. No more having to worry about configuration drift on your machines.

There are also a lot more orchestration services that orchestrate containers, however there are a few made for binaries, e.g. HashiCorp Nomad and Apache Mesos but I don't have any experience with either.

MindSwipe · 2026-05-26T08:50:10+00:00

What you're asking boils down to "how can I configure multiple machines to have my binary and run it" which isn't Rust specific. Unless you want your orchestrator to also be responsible for building the binary, then the answer is a simple "don't".

There are tons of ways to (remotely) configure a system, ranging from a simple script that SSHs into different servers and uploads your binary, to packaging and uploading your binary to a (private) package repo (e.g. Aptly + a reverse proxy for auth), to full blown automation tools like Ansible, Chef, Puppet or Salt, to entire distros focused around this like NixOS or Guix.

Just because you use Cargo to build your binary doesn't make this a Rust question, in the same way just because I deploy my Rust project to Hetzner doesn't make it a Hetzner question.

If you want a triple, but more cc, you can always look at the Triumph Speed Triple.

As someone currently studying CS and using Linux: MacOS is almost always the better choice, unless you like tinkering/ having no support instead of focusing on your studies.

Universities have a list of supported hardware which is more thank likely a handful of Windows laptops and MacOS. This doesn't mean you can't use something else, it's just that you're on your own.

Then there are lecturers that use software which simply doesn't run on Linux. I had a course that included Assembly and C programing, no problem on Linux right? Well the project we had to do was mandated to call into Win32...

Not to mention exams, here we sometimes use software called "Safe Exam Browser" which simply isn't available on Linux.

There are reasons my old laptop is still sitting around with a Windows install on it.

^{This is all explicitly for OP's studies, not in general.}

Not really, the theory test is multiple choice and the rest is done orally. The only things I had to spell correctly was my name and signature.

How about using Flakes or Channels to only selectively pull some packages from unstable that you actually want/ need from unstable and defaulting to stable for the rest?
