If you have tried looking for a multi-user Homebrew setup, chances are, this article from CodeJam is among your top Google results and you have read it many a time. It shared experiences of using a shared Homebrew setup and discussed three ways to make it work. Namely,
Since Python 3.12 (which enforces PEP 668) shipped with Ubuntu 24.04, like many others, I found my usual habit of installing PyPI packages to my user site directory (~/.local) no longer working due to the externally-managed-environment restriction.
My workstation in my univerity lab has consistently generated some 600 TiB of annual upload across two PT sites. After an upgrade to the room a few months back, it received the most wanted upgrade for years: A second 1 Gbps line to the campus network. I immediately made the two NICs into one bonded 2 Gbps interface, and it has shined for many times with multiple popular torrents.
The Guild Chest, first introduced in Feybreak Update, easily became the best way to move items between bases. However, it only has 54 slots and is nowhere near enough for all the items you want to store. For those who want to increase the size of the Guild Chest, especially in single player worlds, there’s a tutorial on how to do it manually: Guild chest resizer after solo play started (Manual).

This could be a known issue with Windows 10 LTSC, as it doesn’t include OneDrive integration by default, unlike consumer versions.
I have a habit of pip3 install --user and then expecting these packages under ~/.local/lib/ to be available for my Python scripts whenever I need them. However, with PEP 668 landing in Python 3.12, I now have to add --break-system-packages even for user packages. This is super annoying considered that I have multiple projects sharing the same set of common packages (e.g. mkdocs-material, a nice…
I run a Debian-based software router on my home network. It’s connected to multiple ISPs, so I have some policy routing rules to balance the traffic between them. Some time ago, I noticed that the IPv4 connectivity got stuck intermittently when it didn’t use to, while IPv6 was working fine. It’s also interesting that the issue only happened with one specific ISP, in the egress direction, and only…
