I feel this! When I need to do something in my computer my first impulse is usually to think about writing the code. Doesn't matter how many free tools are already around. Why? Because software design and coding is fun! It's not cost-effective in terms of time and effort, but way more fun than reading a manual for an existing thing and getting good at that thing. Example: right now I'm looking for a self-hosted wiki to organize my upcoming D&D campaign. As I look through the docs for dokowiki and wikijs I'm already thinking, how hard can it be to write one? A mind is terrible thing!

Put a lock on the wheel and charge people $0.99 to temporarily unlock it.
Evil. I like it! Maybe some mandatory ad viewing somehow shoehorned into the unlocking process as well.

Put a dynamo on it and sell the electricity
Use the electricity to power a screen and speakers and sell ad space!

Is the wheel FOSS? No? Guess I have to then.

The wheel has had a number of innovations over the years. The earliest wheels were flat disks of wood that were heavy and slow turning. The Romans invented spokes and metal rims which made them faster, more durable, and gave them more traction. Questions we need answered: What is this wheel in particular designed to do? Is there any way we could make it work more efficiently at its task? Do we value performance over reliability, or vice versa? Etc. Etc.
I think we need to take a bit of a step back and consider what kind of shed we might use to store this wheel...

but is it written in 6510 assembly, with cool graphics and catchy music with fast arpeggios?

To answer that, we'll need to do a deep dive into foundation technology (to determine if it is lacking and needs some improvements) (because we don't want our wheelshed to sink).

How is it licensed, Jigsaw? Eh? What distro is it from? Is that a fucking Snap wheel?

Ok, this set me off.

Reinventing the wheel leads to a profound understanding of why wheels are round.

I switched to TOML for my stuff.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Wow, I never even heard of TOML. Very interesting - thanks!
edit: after looking at it a bit I think I'll actually try using it. But I find it ironic that the website for something billed as "for humans" and "easy to read" is done in light gray text on a white background. The CSS class they chose is even called "light gray" LOL.

I volunteer as tribute! (Anything, anything, is worth having two girls blow you. My god, it's full of stars.)

That's what documentation is for.

sudo systemctl stop sawtrapdAnd don't forget
systemctl disable sawtrapd
so it won't restart again. -
And don't forget
systemctl disable sawtrapd
so it won't restart again.sysyemctl disable --now sawtrapd to do both in one command.
