Same. I was long reluctant to use docker due to it's cognitive and performance overhead, but once setting my system to just ignore postgresql in automatic updates settings proved insufficient and I realized I'd have to rollback ICU with all it's dependencies as well, I've decided to say fuck it, I'll use docker and if docker pisses me off, I'll just hop to Nix.

Second what you've written regarding Go framework providing what you need for a lot of things. Recently I've managed to reduce a binary size of my app by over 6 MB (16%) and make the thumbnailer it uses over 50% faster by removing dependency on a library that utilized ffmpeg bindings, because it was bloated with AWS SDK dependency and just using the standard library.

Sadly the development stopped, but still one of the most feature-rich.

so basically anything without manual memory management. I don't really see a good point in shilling particular names aside from discussions on performance impact of GC vs VM vs ownership

off-topic but also the reason why people in the US need to use TOR to look up anything health related that isn't on wikipedia, because the insane amount of data from tracking on the health websites hosted in the States are then sold to insurers and hence these websites are often not available in the EU because they aren't GDPR-compliant. fucking dystopian

Eh so probably got lucky with the fact that the software I needed was statically linked

just plug a SBC running Kodi/jellyfin/whatever non-proprietary to a regular tv

It is not? At one of my previous jobs it was nix that allowed me to get a compatible legacy version of kubectl up and running easily iirc

I don't think you need a better PC

This will hold true as long as OP doesn't trash his IDE's performance with too many plugins where even smaller project might run into performance issues if this mistake is made. But it doesn't mean OP has to distract themselves with learning a modal TUI editor, although it'll probably be beneficial for their productivity if they persevere and better to do that early than waste time hopping IDEs just for the sake of it. Tip for staying somewhat flexible if you still haven't decided yet is using something like vim plugin to vscode or vice versa, trying Neovim "distributions" (see awesome Neovim for some examples) and switching to a more feature-rich, GUI-based IDE.

I see your point and don't negate such possibility. Although the black box nature of proprietary dependencies in vanilla Signal means an inclusion of potential trojan spyware. Speaking of the need for app lock, as an alternative solution, you can create a separate profile for Signal to have a dedicated PIN. But afaik only GrapheneOS allows notification relaying to main profile. LineageOS on the other hand has a feature called AppLocker. If you intentionally lend your device to kids, Android has a feature called app pinning.
