My only thought there is "LOL"

  • Export violations (sanctioned countries)
  • Illegally collected personal information from children
  • Price fixing
  • Wage theft
  • Discrimination
  • Privacy violations
  • Mismanaging peoples 401ks

There are long, long, loooooong lists of violations MS has been caught for. The penalty has always been a fine small enough that it's a cost of doing business.

The clothes are definitely different quality. Walmart also has alternate, lower quality versions of the same products. Literally from the manufacturer with a slightly different product code.

Ran into that replacing a coffee maker, interestingly enough - almost exactly the same device minus a few features, advertised with the same name, but different from the previous version as well (checked the manufacturers website).

So I would not personally say the quality is equal, but I also don't shop at them often either.

Honestly stencils are best for that.

Exactly - honestly would be neat to stick on the boxes for the controllers I'm using for sensors in the garden.

May play around a bit with the design (with the help of a few graphic designer folks that I work with and would enjoy this, who can also do in minutes what would probably take me an hour or two)

I like this a lot more vertically!

I also think it could have a bit less detail and get the point across, which would let it scale better.

After you get the basics (others covered that), what I like to do when learning a new language is make a series of simple games.

Things like:

  • Guess the number (user input)
  • Hangman (more complex user input)
  • Pong (even more complex user input, graphics, hit detection, etc)
  • Space invaders (arrays, ways to increase difficulty including qty and speed)

Etc. Good luck and enjoy learning!

Solar powered battery banks which keep a few things up and running in my office (glass sliding doors, so I get plenty of light. Also use them to charge my phone and such.

My bike, which I used to ride to the bus to get into work until I went full remote. Has a small solar kit for my lights to stay charged on long rides. It's been a bit due to some joint issues, getting back into it now, but used to do centuries every weekend. Didn't need to it charge to full, whatever trickle worked just to extend it past the 4 or so hours it would do from full, then charge on the battery banks.

Gardening and associated sensors. Working on moving those over to lorawan, right now the updates are a bit spotty even at once every 4 hours updating due to distance.

I've got a bunch of stuff that's running on lightweight chips, like esp8266's and ESP32s, to do things like Bluetooth beaconing, lights (wled), etc.

It'll be a bit, but we are going to need to move to something with a bit more space, so other plans (solar + battery for the whole home, indirect solar water heating, etc) will be on hold for a bit.

The bottom is disposal, and recovery is energy recovery - as in, burning it. Part of the disposal process.

Yes, recycling is the bottom for what individuals can do.

So a few comments...

  • I'm not a fan of Ubuntu server, in part because their distribution of docker through snap can conflict with snap from the docker repo. My preference here is either Debian or Proxmox (debian + great virtualization setup). Mint is good, though I like LMDE (Debian edition) more, in part because I prefer Debian in general.
  • You may want to check out dockge. You do need to have docker running for it, but it's a simple setup, and it has a clean interface for docker compose. Good for getting used to it imo.
  • grub has no part in docker, so it's something else hanging.
  • What are the exact errors when you enter "docker-compose up"?
  • what is in your docker-compose for each of these?
