Do you tip for takeout? (How much?)
Nope. Where I live employees' salary is included in the food prices.

Freecad is... rough. But, it has python API, and that's what I ended up using for almost all my stuff (there also was a period of using cadquery, but installing it is a horrible pain, so I gve up).
Also using onshape every now and then, but many things are just too annoying to do with a gui.

How to dispose of dirty polyethylene?
Depends on your local waste service. I'd go for the "everything else" dumpster. Here in NL it is incinerated, which is a decent option for such a mix.

Stick shift drivers - would you get an electric vehicle?
Recently had an electric Fiat 500 as a replacement while my car (Mazda 3) was in service and I absolutely loved how it drives. Nice consistent acceleration, immediate reaction to the throttle. Much better than the automatic transmission cars I drove before. 3 problems though:

how do you choose between two lauchers? steam amd gog through heroic?
For me it's GOG first. Using lgogdownloader and wine directly (in a custom apparmor profile). No DRM, no forced updates, no annoying client that takes forever to start. Games are also dramatically much easier to isolate and sandbox this way.
If the game is not there, then yes, Steam (as a separate unix user).

When using command line arguments, is better to use them as c strings and interact with them using the cstring header functions?, or is better to convert them to library strings for using them?
Use std::string_view to sort of get the safety of std::string without copying the contents (just in general make sure the original c string won't get freed or overwritten, which won't happen to argv in your case).
Or just std::string and yolo, the overhead of copying the contents is negligible in your use case.

Streaming local Webcam in a Linux machine, and acessing it when on vacations - which protocol to choose?
I'd go for HLS due to its simplicity: just files over http(s). VPN or not - depends on your network. If your machine is accessible from the internet, just putting the files into a webserver subdirectory with a long random path and using https will be secure enough for the usecase. Can be done with an ffmpeg oneliner.
The downside of HLS is the lag (practically -- 10s or more, maybe 5 if you squeeze it hard). It is in no way realtime. Webrtc does it better (and other things too), but it is also a bigger pain to set up and forward.
Also, just in case, test that the webcam works fine if left active 24/7. I had (a cheapo) one that required a powercycle after a week or so...

Data visualization, like Grafana, but configurable without gui.
Reply in thread
To be precise, the page explains how to configure some things and how to upload the config. I also tried that.
The problem is in the dashboard jsons. They are not well documented (docs on specific plots are missing), and are a pain to edit (as any json).
The grafanalib tool I mentioned tries to help with that by implementing a sort of DSL for dashboards, but it is not ideal.
(edit: lost a word)

What makes you prefer Godot over other engines?

Exactly this. And when I want to do something with it, I apt install or emerge it and it works, no shady binaries, no mess.

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?
Only open reddit by accident and muscle memory. Need to find time to read/save the "saved". Right after that will Art. 17 GDPR my account.

As a concept - why the hell not?! The first use - typing/moving mouse more or less by thinking about it. Even for me, whose main problem right now is the tiny annoying soft keyboard of a phone it's a great feature, but think about people with various disabilities (or just stuff like Parkinson's, which also makes typing difficult).
However, there is a problem. It of course will be made by an evil corporation (the non-evil ones are outcompeted and dead), with shitty security and a few back doors...

Use desktop to self-host?
Whatever works for you. Just do it. It is convenient as f when you are just starting. You can always improve incrementally later on when (if) you encounter a problem.
Too much noise/power costs to run a small thing - get a pi and run it there. Too much impct on your desktop performance - okay, buy a dedicated monster. Want to deep dive into isolating things (and VMs are too much of a hassle) - get multiple devices.
No need to spend money (maybe sponsoring more e-waste) and time until it's justified for your usecases.

create graph on the UI
that's something I want to avoid
hard for me to imagine a situation where graphs need to be edited so often
the whole system is under development (trying new views, changing how the data is represented, etc), so I don't need to imagine it, I have it right in front of me ;)

Something like that, where I just write a function that spits out a numpy array or something like that and it gets plotted, would be great, but there is one thing Grafana can do and vega-altair, plotly and even matplotlib (*): a UI that allows to select a time interval to view.
So I can freely pan/zoom in/out in time, and only the required part of the data will be loaded (with something like select ... where time between X and Y under the hood). So if I look at a single day, it will only load that day, and only if I dare to zoom out too much it will spend some time loading everything from the last year.
(*) yes, you can do interactive things with matplotlib, but you don't really want to, unless you must...

Finding them depends on where you live, I guess.I got to see a few models in local mediamarkt. Extrapolating from tgose few to choose among the ones available online was tough though.
