Another Many-to-many example within this usecase would be “subscriptions”. Users can subscribe to multiple channels and channels can have multiple users subscribed to them. You would use another relational table that stores the channel_id & user_id, with uniqueness for both together, since “being subscribed to one specific channel multiple times” doesn’t make sense and perhaps put a column to store “hitting the bell” in there too.
This isn’t a desktop app, but the editor seems quite solid: GrapesJS
At college some guys were self hosting a git server for a project but it went down. We resorted to a USB stick that acted as remote and was passed around. That was awesome to see, for about a day…
Thought it was a good opportunity to potentionally learn something new. Seems to have worked out.
I’d change
Thanks, that was an interesting read! I always felt IPFS wasn’t ready yet, but the value it tries to provide of being a file system, I’ve found no real alternative to. Very good to read that iroh is willing to look beyond the IPFS spec to provide its values with better performance. I hope it works out.
Ever heard of IPFS? I really hope that will take off some time.
Been running Wayland for 5 years on my development laptop (sway, Intel GPU, blacklisted the nvidia gpu). At the start I’ve had a couple of issues, nothing too bad. Haven’t had any issues for over 2 years. Switched to Linux on my gaming PC about a year ago, KDE plasma on Wayland but do most of my gaming from a steam gamescope session. Very happy overall with Wayland, glad it exists. Sharp text on a fractionally scaled display for reading code was just too compelling at the time and it only improved.
Maybe Firefox, Thunderbird or Steam are running in XWayland and that causes different behaviour between them. Just guessing.
I would look into a library that does manipulation of odt (or docx). Code whatever algorithm you need to do the restructuring. Now your left with an in memory representation of the document that you can hopefully figure out how many pages it spans, or save it to a temporary file.
All depends really on how feature rich the odt libraries are and/or how deep you want to dive into the spec.
I feel like this is an XY problem. Is there an underlying issue your trying to resolve?
Interestingly, as ChatGPT might be trained on these ELI5 questions and as a result they are asked more infrequently, it might get worse over time or out of date on these types of questions by its own doing. I especially wonder how bad this influence will get on subjects that you’d normally search stackoverflow for.
Explained by someone that doesn’t know the technical side super well.
1: It’s a new protocol for displaying. The main difference from X11, as I understand it, is a simplification of the stack. Eliminating the need for a display server, or merging the display server and compositor.
2: Some things impossible (or difficult) with X11 are much better supported in Wayland. Their not necessarily available, as the Wayland protocol is quite generic and needs additional protocols for further negotiation. Examples are fractional scaling & multiple displays with differing refresh rates.
Security is also improved. X11 did not make some security considerations (as it is quite old, maybe justifiably so). In X11 it’s possible for any application to “look” at the entire display. In Wayland they receive a specific section that they can draw into and use. (This has the side-effect of complicating stuff like redshifting the screen at night, but in my experience that has fully caught up).
3: If you’re interested, are in desktop application development (but I have no experience in that regard) or have a specific need for Wayland.
4: I think X won’t die for a long long time if “ever”. I’m not super familiar with desktop app development, but I don’t think it requires more work to keep supporting X.
On the other hand, most of the complaints about Wayland I’ve heard were ultimately about support. At some point, when you’re a normal user, the distro maintainer should be able to decide to move to Wayland without you noticing, apart from the blurriness being gone with fractional scaling.
Though, not the same thing. I really like the Dutch implementation for their old maps: https://topotijdreis.nl
