She deserves it
I'm kind of assuming that OP intended to crosspost elsewhere and selected the wrong community.
You can display status stuff in tmux, like a clock or syatem load or whatever. I believe that there are some premade things to configure it. I tried it, found something always sitting there to not be worthwhile for me.
For battery, on a laptop, I'm pretty much always in a graphical environment and have the notification manager handle warning me. I guess if someone ran in terminal-only mode, low battery warnings could be important. I don't think that the terminal has a great standard way to display a notification without disrupting existing content and ensuring that something stays visible until someone sees it. Shutdown warnings and similar on multiuser systems typically used
wall, which would write a message to all ttys, but if you missed the message or something, that's on you, and it might garble what you were looking at. I guess terminals might also be configured to show high-priority kernel log messages.There's probably some ncurses launchers out there, but I can't recall using one at any point over the years. There's enough overlap with shell aliases and symlinks to create short forms of commands, tab completion,
aproposto look for commands related to a topic, and some related features that I haven't really wanted a console "launcher". I've gone the other direction, if anything, usingtofi, which is a dmenu-alike, sort of like replacing a graphical start menu in X11/wayland with something closer to bash.I do sometimes use dired in emacs as something like an orthodox file manager, where it will take actions whose default is based on a file extension, but that's not really a launcher, something to just do filetype-based starting of programs. You're wanting something that isn't tied to operating on files.
There are some simple ncurses utilities for displaying menus with whatever you want. Red Hat used to use newt. I think that that's been supplanted by the dialog package. I do use that to display a menu of YouTube channels to download that I'm interested in. But that may be more of a framework to roll your own setup than you want, if you want something off-the-shelf.
I think that part of the problem is that the great majority of terminal programs take an argument when you're usefully using them. You don't normally just launch them without taking a filename or some other arguments. There are exceptions --- I'll normally run
topwithout arguments, though it can take them, and the few console games I play. I think that most ncurses programs are run without arguments...so I guessncduor one of the ncurses mpd clients for me. But they're the exception. The Start Menu paradigm is really oriented towards starting a program without arguments. That's a better fit for graphical programs, where the norm is to be invoked without arguments, and then to specify what operations the program should perform from within the program.The dmenu paradigm is also aimed at "launch without arguments", and I guess that that's why I don't really use a dmenu analog in the terminal either (though I imagine that someone has probably made one).
So, I'd just use Samba or whatever to share it too. It'll do a number of things better, like letting software render for an appropriate page size in the printer automatically.
However, OP is specifically trying to avoid using this route, because he's concerned about people having trouble with setting it up on their client devices, so he just wants to bypass all that and to have a Web UI where one uploads the document after it's been rendered to a PDF or similar.
It looks like it supports bridging to GitHub and a number of other issue trackers, so while the project is using GitHub's issue tracker, I'd bet that the devs are using their own system to interface with it.
CUPS didn't work for me as I can't see an upload option on the web UI.
CUPS is really intended as the backend. Whatever software you run will talk to CUPS.
I've never used it, but Savapage appears to be such a frontend.
EDIT: It may be more elaborate than what you want. It looks like this thing is capable of being set up to run a commercial printing service. It can probably also do what you want, but it's going to have a lot of functionality that you wouldn't use if you're just running an unauthenticated, anyone-can-use-it system.
I have wondered about the prospect of an aircraft carrier that uses rotary-wing drones to launch and recover the fixed-wing aircraft. That'd give you a lot more flexibility as to the form factor of the ship, since you don't need to do the deceleration or acceleration on the ship, let you launch and recover directly from stuff like submarines (and not like the I-400 class, which was really a seaplane carrier).
The US has been working on fixed-wing UAVs that are launched and recovered from a fixed-wing airborne aircraft carrier, Gremlins. If you can do that, I'd imagine that it'd also be possible to launch and recover them from a rotary-wing drone.
GPU-based imaging
Sounds like a good idea. The original engine was written for mostly CPU-based processing, and parallel compute has become much more of a thing since then.
They won't be able to do everything on a GPU, but they can optimize the system for GPU compute and have graceful fallback for operations that a GPU can't do.
considers
They might also consider adding distributed support. My understanding is that Photoshop is cloud-based these days. I haven't used Photoshop in decades, never seen the cloud-based product, but if most of the compute happens server-side, I imagine that that's a lot more amenable to selling higher-end services where you loop more hardware in for more compute capability.
That'd be an area where they could legitimately bill cloud-based operation as a plus versus local stuff like Gimp.

I mean, internal CI and version control systems go down too. Like, if GitHub has substantially worse downtime than an whatever internal system one runs, fair enough.
Git's distributed, so downtime isn't usually a huge deal compared to a non-distributed version control system.
I think that the largest issue is actually that GitHub provides a centralized commit review system (and, to be fair, so are many internal systems) that one uses to review pull requests. Like, a CI run being deferred usually isn't a huge deal. Version control is probably distributed these days. But code review is something that you'd like to keep going.
If you do code review in email or something, it's distributed. You can keep working. If your email server goes down, it might prevent new messages from reaching other users, but all of the review requests you have can be worked on and any review you've already received can be read. But if people are using some centralized Web-based code review system, and that goes down, then that kinda halts a lot of stuff.
Same centralized problem for issue tracking.
EDIT: I've never used a distributed issue tracker, but apparently they are indeed out there:
https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug
EDIT2: A lot of issue trackers involve people attaching large files to issues, so there might be some fundamental scalability issues in that regard for distributed operation; might need to centralize that part. That being said, I'd rather temporarily lose access to just a large-file-hosting server than to that and all of the other issue data.
Note that this is specific to Germany (or, probably, the EU, but they're using Germany as a benchmark). German DDR5 prices had started coming back down slightly earlier in the year --- I remember articles earlier in the year commenting on that. According to this article, they're now drifting back up again, albeit slowly.
I don't know if "explode" is really the right term. The price changes since the initial increase around late 2025 and early 2026 haven't really been dramatic.
Apollo A6000 review: the ultimate 68K Amiga, rebuilt for the modern age
The Apollo A6000 ships with 2 GB of Fast RAM
It succeeds where emulation cannot, delivering the tactile, hardware‑level experience of owning a new Amiga‑class machine in 2025/2026.

That’s like half a years salary
Also, it's a post-tax $50k, whereas your earned income is a pre-tax $100k in that scenario.
There are some limits on what you can put in a Roth IRA in a year. I don't think that you can contribute $50k in one year.
searches
https://www.schwab.com/ira/roth-ira/contribution-limits
The maximum total annual contribution for all your IRAs combined is:
- Tax Year 2026 - $7,500 if you're under age 50/$8,600 if you're age 50 or older.
- Tax Year 2025 - $7,000 if you're under age 50/$8,000 if you're age 50 or older.
For single filers, in 2026, your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) must be under $153,000 to make a full Roth IRA contribution.
Hmm. I dunno if you can defeat that via the Roth backdoor loophole.
searches
Sounds like not. That apparently defeats the more-restrictive income-induced contribution limit, but not the absolute cap on contribution limit.
https://investor.vanguard.com/investor-resources-education/article/how-to-set-up-backdoor-ira
"Backdoor Roth IRA" is a term that describes a strategy used by high-income earners who can't contribute to a Roth IRA because their income is above certain limits. Rather than contributing directly to a Roth, the backdoor strategy calls for contributing to a traditional IRA and then converting it to a Roth.
EDIT: That being said, would be possible to invest it and to annually max out the contribution. Have to pay capital gains taxes on the gains you make prior to getting it into the Roth account.
EDIT2: If you're currently working somewhere with a 401(k) that you aren't maxing out, I think that you can max that out. That apparently increases the annual absolute contribution limit.
https://www.fidelity.com/viewpoints/retirement/earn-too-much-contribute-Roth-IRA-conversion
High income taxpayers can still benefit from the tax advantages of a Roth account by converting traditional IRA or 401(k) dollars to Roth, or by contributing to a Roth 401(k) if available. Roth conversions have no income or contribution limits, but do require payment of applicable federal and state income taxes.
https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/smart-money/401k-contribution-limits
For tax year 2026, the most you can contribute to a Roth 401(k), a traditional 401(k), or a combination of the two is $24,500.
I mean I’m new here
You have already become part of the solution!
I think that he means just put 2-3 days of food out.
If the cat eats wet food, that'd have spoiling problems, but I suppose that it'd probably be okay with dry kibble.
I have someone coming for check-ins, but they can’t come in 5 times every day to give food,” a Reddit user said.
You can pamper your cat however you want, but your cat is not going to die if they don't have someone portioning out food five times a day.
I would be opposed to requiring it. I think that even an example from another state or country might have useful bearing on how things work elsewhere.
I mean, end of the day, if you're going to go out and ask anonymous people on a forum legal questions, I think that it's safe to say that it might be a useful starting point for further investigation, possibly involving talking to a lawyer. But I wouldn't go do something with major risk based just on what they say. I don't think that it's going to be really practical to change that.
Mother nature is a brutal bitch, red in tooth and claw, who destroys what she creates.
CloudFlare having that outage a while back was bigger, I'd say. GitHub is only used by a small percentage of people out there.
If you want to go by "percentage of the Internet taken down", the biggest outage ever has probably been the Morris Worm, since a lot of major insitutions quarantined themselves by closing down their network links to other sites until they could identify the problem, purge it, and secure their systems against reinfection.
