(My Swedish is currently limited to things like crudely ordering generic items at a restaurant, apologies. I'm not the best at learning new languages but I'm slowly figuring it out!)

I'm so excited :3 I worked so hard to get into my first choice of university and they accepted me! There's still a lot of logistics that need done but I think I'm on track. I'm going back to school to be a game level designer and hopefully find work in Sweden after I graduate

This last Christmas/New Years I toured various towns I'd possibly go to for school. There's so much I was able to see and I loved all of it. From Stockholm to Luleå everywhere felt special <3

I want to explore and learn everything I can. I want to learn Swedish it's such a beautiful sounding language. I'm going to be living pretty far north and I'm legitimately thrilled about the winters there. I think I'm going to be really happy

Hello! I just went through the process of getting PopOS onto a chromebook. It went pretty smoothly and appears to be functioning which is great news. However the drive is soldered to the board, there are no slots for a second drive, and it's only 30gb in size.

Depending on how my friend wants to use it this may be fine (like if it is going to be a glorified browser). I'm trying to figure out a good way around it though. My current thought is to get one of those really small USB keys and basically use it like a semi permanent hard drive.

Any thoughts on potential other solutions, or suggestions for USB keys that would work well for this? Is there anything about Linux/Pop that would make the USB solution a bad idea? Or maybe a good beginner friendly distro with lighter requirements than Pop that still works well with chromebook hardware?

For context, I'm mtf trans and polyamorous. I spent an enormous amount of effort setting up my social and partner circles to prepare for lower surgery (which I had about 10 months ago and I've healed well!). I knew I was going to be emotionally and physically vulnerable after surgery and wanted to have people around me I could trust especially with my new bits. The 6 months leading up to surgery 4 long term partners broke up with me, a new partner (more on them later) broke up with me, my 12 year marriage fell through, and I lost all but one friend who is long distance.

I'm taking the opportunity to leave country since it's not like I have much anchoring me here anymore. I have conditionally been accepted to a college in Sweden but I'm going to be cutting it close enough with finances that I may get denied a residents permit.

A year ago I finally felt like I was putting down roots I felt happy and I wanted to build my life with everyone I loved. It all went away and I don't know how

It isn't anything particularly amazing but I'm proud of it! Code can be found here: https://github.com/ArmoredThirteen/PysidianSiteMaker

The general use case is that I'm making a setting and I store all my notes in an Obsidian project. It used to be when I shared notes it was a giant pain trying to send people files so I decided to set up a website. I was using a tool called ObsidianHTML but it doesn't get updated very often and I've had to do some questionable downgrades on my build server to keep using it. It's also way more advanced than what I have use for and I get lost in the aging documentation

So now I'm building a replacement command line tool! My build server picks up on changes made to the settings repo, pulls them in and my PSM code, converts the vault to an html website, and deploys from there. Bonus points is that since my tool is so dedicated purpose the build times have been cut so I can deploy faster than ever

Hello if anyone knows of a way to get python-markdown to behave in the way I'd like, or of an alternative way to do it, I'd love some help! My use case is I'm converting .md files made with Obsidian into html files. Obsidian has tags that are a pound sign followed by the tag (so like "#TagName"). When the tag is the first item on a line the pound sign is confused for a heading, even though there is no space after it.

Is there a way that I can avoid this so it only reads it as a heading if there is a space between the pound and the next word? I'm even considering some kind of find/replace logic so I can swap it out with like a link to a page that lists all the pages with that tag or something that gets run before the markdown to html conversion.

Edit: The solution I'm going for is a regex find/replace. Currently the string pattern looks like "#[^\s#][^\s" + string.punctuation + "#]*" which can find tags but ignores headers. Since the ultimate goal is to have the tags link to a tag p

Do you think assemblers are for suckers? Do you want to pack everything into one assembler because that's just efficient? Well say no more fam I've got your back! The Chesterizer is the all in one solution for all your chest needs. Just set some values conveniently split across multiple locations and away it goes. It's like magic!

There's a particular high level folder that I use a lot across many applications. I'd like it to behave similarly to Documents/Music/etc. in that it is visible in various applications when I go to browsing. I'm able to add my folder to the file viewer either drag/drop into the panel or through favorites but when I do things like try and open a new vault in Obsidian it only shows me the default folders. Is there a way to add a custom folder so everything can view it in the same way as Docs/Music/etc?

I've been trying to code python on my deck and I can't for the life of me figure out how to activate the virtual environment. I keep using "source .venv/bin/activate" and it does nothing. No errors, no feedback, doesn't hang, doesn't use the environment, nothing.

I've tried installing Kitty to see if it was an issue with Konsole but the exact same thing happens. It works fine in Visual Studio Code but I do t want to have to open that every time I try and run a command.

Anyone know why this could be or what I could do to fix it?

Edit to add: This is my first real attempt at Linux idk what I'm doing in a very broad way. Only other time I tried was nearly 15 years ago dual booting Windows/Ubuntu but that lasted like a week because Windows kept blowing up the config and I needed some Windows only programs for school

Solved edit: I don't exactly know what was up. If I made the venv with the terminal, it would work in the terminal but not work with VSCode's terminal. If I made it in VSCo

75 tons was ridiculous and honestly we never should have released such a bulky monstrosity in the first place. The new Deliverator Slim is now a mere 73 tons!

Turns out the amount of water produced from melting ice is 20, and the amount of water needed for fuel and oxidizer is 10 each. So instead of cycling between fuel and oxidizer with a water override, we can just cycle to run one of each recipe. No storage tanks necessary!

R&D was also informed about a width issue with previous designs. With the removal of the water storage tank we were able to dramatically improve aerodynamics. For very brief periods of time while flying towards a planet, this sucker can hit 50km/s!

I've removed the self-sustaining ammo since it was just using up too many resources to be worth it for a small design. There were times where if it got low on ammo mid-flight it couldn't keep the engines on long enough to make up for being pulled into a planet's gravity due to the iron consumption. So I had to supplement it with ammo deliveries anyways, and I decided to just rely entirely on that. I also swapped out one of the solar panels for an accumulator and it seems to be working well.

The other main improvement is to the chem plant logic. It no longer needs buffers for the fuel and oxidizer. I use the on recipe complete signal to run a counter, mod by 2, then use that to flip between fuel and oxidizer. There is still a water tank to trigger a low water override.

If the chem plant is filled with too many resources it tries to run the recipes twice causing a lot of problems with the counting logic. Now the inserter is only active if the chem plant is not actively working which ke

Part of our adventures making minimum viable transport ships. This thing barely works, moves slowly, can't fire at many asteroids, only sorta supplies enough energy. It gets where it needs to eventually though and includes the most important space ship feature: Blinky lights

I've been experimenting with using circuits to set recipes. This latest one was a lot of fun because it has to make water to feed back into itself for the other two recipes. The circuit logic is surprisingly simple with the new selector combinator and combinators being able to use red and green wire signals separately
