This does not need to be a 8 minute video. Read your tldw instead. Thanks, OP.

Under every single LaTeX themed post there is someone suggesting typst.
Why use something open, if you can use something proprietary? /s

There are a lot of typos in this book. Are you looking for someone to proofread?
Great work btw

What are you using it for? Did you publish anything written in typst?
Edit: this is a genuine question.

Youtube Rant from a paying customer

I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former's app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...

I am still angry at google for killing Play Music. You could upload your own files, back in the day. It was a genuinely awesome and unique product that I used every single day.

Huh.. so you can. That’s interesting, I did not know that. Thanks.

You may think they would want to use all that money to make people not need to pirate things. but here we are.

That’s exactly it! The sad thing is that it’s more convenient to pirate than get 5+ subscriptions and an extra app on your phone to stay ahead of disappearing content.

American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse?

Hi there, I'm a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I'm seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I'm Jewish and I've heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not really...

Germany/Austria/Switzerland. You absolutely need to learn German though. It’s not unsafe here, but the right shift is happening all across Europe right now.

Do we really need to see your Google or whatever „news“feed here? Honestly, can you provide something more than a fucking clickbait title from a cancer „news“ site?

Idk when you did it, but with the overleaf toolkit, at least the docker networking seems to be no problem. I had quite some problems with updating though. I run an outdated version at the moment because texlive gets updated faster than overleaf, which produces errors when installing the texlive full package.
Overall, also can’t recommend.

I see, you probably had to change the overleaf config file?
I feel it’s too much work to keep it updated and running, on my Linux server. But the official overleaf is just too slow. It struggles to compile 30 page documents, and i have several that are longer.
How does it run for you on your windows computer, with the local installation? What are the specs of your machine?

You are correct, LaTeX isn’t very fast in general, but my 8 core ryzen server with 8GB of ram assigned to the vm running overleaf is usually twice as fast as the official overleaf unpaid tier. The specs you listed should produce much better results than the official overleaf. This seems weird to me.

As an example, I just compiled my thesis, which is about 60 pages, lots of references, pictures, and generally a heavy document. On my server it takes about 35 seconds, the official overleaf just times out (pay or we won’t compile your document).

Why would grandma want to do that? I have set up computers for tech illiterate people with Linux quite successfully. You just tell them: „if it wants your password, you did something wrong. Never enter your password, unless you know exactly why“ Set and forget.

They are probably referring to the streaming services bit

Drop me a message, i could design that in creo and send you any format you like. Looks like 15 minutes of work, and I love bees 😊

I will do that, once OP contacts me and gives me some measurements.

If you run random .pdf.something-files pm‘d to you on LinkedIn you probably shouldn’t use a computer anyway, no matter if it runs Linux or Windows…

They offer lifetime, so it’s probably shit.

In another comment you complained about the latest commit being made 7 years ago. Just a heads up, this project also seems pretty abandoned.
