Are you planning to compile the programs on the thin client? Although rust runs efficiently on a lot of hardware, compiling is gut-wrenching.
I have an rPi 1B running as a lightweight server and both rust and c++ applications take hours to compile (some of them take over a DAY). so, interpreted languages might be what you’re looking for. my favorite is python. most distros have a lot of native packages in their repos. albeit a little weird to work on, perl is great, too.
simple cuts and joinery
is it woodwork? then there’s a decent workbench https://github.com/dprojects/Woodworking
check out other workbenches, too https://wiki.freecad.org/External_workbenches
R. because it’s really easy to work on spreadsheets. i know there’s pandas for python but at that time RStudio made it look really attractive. i will do anything not to work on excel.
i’m all for periodic contributions through channels like open collective but bounties rarely get to the point of being persuading.
for a couple of years now my favorite foss project has been blender bim addon and its community osarch.
it has a unique aspect. the software stack it’s trying to be an alternative of includes giants like autodesk, nemetchek etc. although it’s a gigantic shoe to fill, it has been really really successful at doing what it’s doing. i have been using it for a year now and cannot fathom to go back.
the community consists of experienced construction sector people and a decent amount of them are directly involved in the software development, be it coding, bug triage, educational content, technical support etc.
i guess the thing that makes a project tick is having a working state software, the degree to which is not important, and being community oriented.
ifc is an iso standard for 3d construction projects, which includes all aspects of a building data. because ifc is in human-readable form, versions of the same project can be diffed, hence ifc git.
this is a really underappreciated project.
how is that vi-inspired? shortcut for quitting is just q!!!
i’ve heard so many takes on defining what a tankie is, and i gotta give it to you, this one’s the worst, yet.
i think codeberg.org would be the flagship instance, since they’re the ones that has been supporting the development most as far as i can see.
this is great.
