   I'd like to add a fourth mindset that I have found to be very useful: try to keep the beginner mindset, even as you become more and more experienced. As a (motivated) beginner, you're expect to fail, and fail repeatedly, and such

   +1 for the statistical view. One or two data points can be ignored, but 3+ different people who report a the same bug/problem and you need to listen up.

   Yes plz. I'd be very interested to read about this (long time Debian user, but never packaged anything). I know there is an install, postinstall, and remove scripts but don't have a clear idea of when exactly they will get called

    Sorry I didn't explain too well. That link is to an online demo server of the Kolibri app that has that channel imported. You can get the same channel locally (localhost; for offline use) using the following steps: 1. Download Kolibri

    Ouff, as someone who has done my fair share of downloading Khan Academy content, this will be a lot of work. There are something like 20K+ videos, so downloading each of them will take forever (think weeks). You might get your IP blocked by

    Thanks for your feedback. I might run the DB on the host then, and just use containers for the app server. I'm not at the scale to warrant a separate host for the DB.

    Another common thing I had to learn when I switched to fish, is the basic for-loop construct. Luckily it's super simple, here is an example: for f in (ls -1 *py); echo $f; end One more thing to note is setting ENV var FOO to v

    I know exactly what you mean. It seems there is a lack of such non-insulting-to-the-reader scientific writing: things are either too advanced (FEBE = written for experts, by experts), or to basic and without any scientific content bound a t
