This hourglass I stole in kindergarten. It was used to measure time for brushing teeth. It also used to have a suction cup, but over the years it partially decomposed.

Mate, even you just understanding what LaTeX and HTML do

With HTML, I only meant something like basic 90s/early 2000s websites. That doesn’t really need much. For example, toastytech.com. Using tables for layout is probably not done anymore.
When it comes to LaTeX, we just had to use it for an assignment in school, so that’s where I came in contact with it.
And even that’s something I struggled with. The entire page was supposed to be a colored table. I’ve used tabularx, but it kept being slightly off the page. For some reason, wrapping it between center fixed it, but I don’t know what I did wrong there.

It would have probably been easier if I did it in Overleaf (online LaTeX editing platform).
Instead, me being me, I was doing it last-minute. On a train. Full train, so I couldn’t even sit down to use a laptop, as such I had to use my phone. There are apparently some issues with texlive on Termux, so I didn’t run it locally.
Instead I had to SSH to my mini PC over Tailscale, edit the document using Vim, compile with pdflatex, copy the PDF to my phone using scp, view it, delete, browse around StackExchange (where I found someone mention the center workaround), and repeat.

On a phone, while standing in a moving train. Quite the user experience.

you’d be surprised how many people don’t know how to use Word or Excel

Not really, since one of them is me.

Environment is basically any. I used to read on my touchscreen 2-in-1 ThinkPad using Arianna from KDE.

But I stopped because of software annoyances.
At some point, native Arianna package broke on Arch. It’s fixed now, but the UI has changed. In the past, while in portrait mode it also shown 2 columns, just slimmer ones (I think that’s version 24, I am not currently on that laptop). Now it only shows 1 page in the middle of the screen.
I also have an old Flatpak version installed which still has the older UI (I believe the older native package didn’t work with current dependencies), but simply the knowledge of that thing taking up in total 4GiB (as it’s the only Flatpak I have) while the native version is 1.6MiB bothers me enough not to use it.

I was just playing around with it, not worth it.
Also, the domain would most likely cost more than the VPS, as the VPS was $10.29/year (not available anymore).

They signed up for the job knowing what it entails.

Doesn’t mean it’s fine.
Based on current events, for police it will heavily depend on circumstances.
But what’s the beef with firemen?

besides the VR headset

I completely forgot something like that even exists.

It even knows when you discover features by accident

Having exposed brain probably lead to significant damages to it.

Bunch of popups and sketchy redirections

It’s comments like this that make you figure out that your adblock works.

Problem with plain Wireguard is if you can’t open ports on some devices to get a direct connection. It should be just fine with hub and spoke model, but NAT Traversal of Tailscale makes a huge difference. I can get a direct connection between 2 devices connected to mobile data and behind CG-NAT.
And also the config management if you have too many devices.

Hub and spoke, you just add new devices to Wireguard on the main device, and the new peer. Full mesh, oof.

But as far as configuring Wireguard goes, that’s pretty simple. And then there’s the weird stuff with MTU and fragmentation… but that’s not something Wireguard-specific.

Wait, wait, wait. I just realized something. What if it’s a title? Please Do Not, the cat

I’d prefer programmable button(s) like my current phone has.
Now, it’s a Ulefone, so in the full Ulefone spirit the software is bugged out due to power saving and often breaks with locked screen (only for the large flashlight).

I really, really miss the fingerprint scanner navigation from my Moto G5s Plus. Unfortunately, nowadays phones have minimal bezels, so it’s not possible.
And yes, I would prefer bezels and 16:9 screen. It’s much easier to hold it that way. Or at least enough to get rid of cut-outs and curved corners. Give me all my pixels!

But also there was volume button music control, so I could skip songs without using the screen. Very useful at night, but also when just having the phone in a pocket.
Tap to adjust volume, hold to skip.

I went with Google.

Edit: I am just saying what I went with. I didn’t have another fitting option.

I was just looking if something like that exists yesterday, but got disappointed. Nice timing.

Yeah, Gemini is… interesting. It said it’s a “one-way route” for the human.

As a student, most things are more interesting than studying.
