While I can truly appreciate the humor, is it really a good idea to give ammunition to the “Opposition” to undermine the quality and flexibility of what LaTeX offers ???       Food for thought, is all.

(P.S. I don’t use LaTeX myself)

Hello call me juicy, the juicer, juicy1nonly. idk I loved Juicy J a lot growing up. it stuck as my online name after all these years.

I’m in the process of setuping up my homelab. got a NAS. Raspberry Pis, 2 laptops running linux. one is going to be a server but idk what for. I’m just doing this as a hobby. I love tinkering and configuring new things. Technology is awesome. I want to setup more self-hosting.

What are some things you guys are self hosting and doing with home labs type stuff?

@ericmarceau I take your point but anyone who has used LaTeX seriously will have hit that error. It’s not a failure of LaTeX, just the user asking for contradictory things. E.g. sometimes being clumsy in trying to squeeze a graphic that you’ve not allowed the LaTeX optimiser to float into text and LaTeX just warns you how big the “badness” is. To me this type of error is what I like about LaTeX, it tells you stuff you need to know about what’s going on under the hood. LaTeX tries to be beautiful and hates it when it can’t quite optimise that beauty in the way it should. :blush:

Hi Juicy! Welcome to the forum. I would love to hear more about your homelab. Maybe we should have a category for Raspberry Pi etc. (@hydn ??)

I have Home Assistant Yellow, and I want to set up a control system to control the water heater dependent on the battery status from my solar panels. I would need to modulate the current to the heater. But I would like to start a new category, under which we could have a topic for Raspberry Pi, and other ARM-based platforms.

A cat for Raspberry Pi would be awesome. but youre way ahead of me on your projects.
I am just beginning my homelab/selfhosted journey. I just got PiHole and NextDNS on those things.

Your project sounds very impressive!

I want to do the stereotypical things and start a blog to document the process. I think it would be cool.

Another Xandros user, I thought I was the only one. I was amazed when I booted from the CD and it didn’t look like Windows!

Xandros Desktop
300x225

July 26, 2007; 18 years ago

Xandros, Inc. was a software company which sold Xandros Desktop, a Linux distribution. The name Xandros was derived from the X Window System and the Greek island of Andros.[2] Xandros was founded in May 2001 by Linux Global Partners (Will Roseman and Frederick Berenstein).[3] The company was headquartered in New York City with its development office in Ottawa, Canada.

Xandros Desktop was based on Corel Linux, a Debian-based distribution that was acquired along with the development team behind the product from Corel Corporation in August 2001 after Corel decided to exit the Linux distribution market.[4] Xandros was a founding member of the Desktop Linux Consortium and member of the Interop Vendor Alliance.[5]

In July 2007, Xandros bought Scalix, a Linux-based email and collaboration product, based on HP OpenMail.[6][7] In July 2008, Xandros acquired Linspire.

In 2013, Xandros, Inc. changed its name to Bridgeways, Inc.[1], and soon after, the Xandros website was taken offline. (The Xandros website was last updated in November 2009.)[8] As a result, DistroWatch listed Xandros as discontinued.[9]
