  • is venv important/neccesary?

  • yeah those pc plugs are nice. if someone figured out a way for the cable to detect whether a device is 230/240V or 120V and make it stop giving power if there’s a mismatch, that would he really cool. sadly, that’s probably not possible, and even if it was, it wouldn’t be widely adopted. sad.

  • i wonder how many pins could you fit with modern technology on something the size of a 30-pin connector? would that mean you could get more data/power being transferred? (the wire would have to get way thicker though)

  • oh yeah usb has loads of pins for data. no wonder barrel jacks were never used to transfer data…

    oh yeah designing an idiot-proof power plug that can be rotated 360 degrees would be challenging ad well

  • woah that’s a very in-depth answer. yeah makes sense that cylindrical connectors aren’t actually designed to rotate a bunch. I assume it would be something similar to weird crackling sound when you turn an 3.5mm jack cable too hard?

  • wdym? I did say the advantage of USB-C was a universal standard. that’s definitely why everything uses USB-C, much more convenient.

    My later paragraphs were focusing on a theoretical cylindrical wall plug (hence the comparison with the euro plug, schuko, uk plug, etc). sorry if just “plug” wasn’t clear.

  • idk, honestly any worldwide wall plug standard would be amazing, I wish the governments of the world focused on issues as simple as these

  • another downside to cylindrical usb plugs would probably be thinness, USB-C ports are quite a bit flatter and suits thinner devices a lot more

  • fair point, makes sense

  • good to be here! honestly the third-party app thing swayed me, there's so many good apps (ice cubes, mastoot, mlem, impressia, etc.)

  • besides weird central/eastern europe chaos, there's also no islands that are highlighted at all in north america, not even the big ones like cuba or haiti/dominican republic. I will probably add those at some point, but that'll be later.

  • ok I fixed it, it should just be "art" (a library to make ascii art) and "colorama" (easier coloured text)

  • oh wait shoot did it just add all the modules installed on my computer...damn... how do I make a proper requirements.txt? that pip command definitely didn't do it...

  • oh yeah that's probably a good idea. When I wrote that section, maybe reviews hadn't released yet or something. Btw, what is improved with the "ACE" models that make them worth it over the SV06 and SV08?

  • oop yep that's probably important. I've added that to the repo!

  • sorry for the crossposting 17 times, that is definitely spam. really sorry about this, should I delete the post?

  • oh and also I should definitely include links to awesome-selfhosted and other similar github repos, that would definitely be good too.

  • that seems pretty cool. I should probably add links to similar github repos as well (e.g. awesome-selfhosted, awesome-[whatever], etc.)

  • ooh yes that's a good idea. I can probably experiment with different colour palettes. maybe even a high contrast toggle option???

  • Originally this was a private project I was working was. The idea was when I ever had to buy anything, I wouldn't need to research anything and can just check the ppt. now that I turned it into github pages, I wanted to share it to everyone. However, crossposting 17 times is definitely spam and I'm very sorry about this. if you want me to delete the post, please lmk
