I use VScodium with some plugins. But writing in any editor and running the typst executable with the “watch” argument is also an option. That way as soon as you overwrite the source file a new PDF is generated. In that case I use Okular which auto refreshes when the open document changes.

I tend to use glass jars for this. They are reusable and recyclable, you can see what’s in them, they protect what’s inside from getting crushed, and they’re free if you repurpose jars that food came in.

LibreCAD could be worth considering. I don’t think it’s possible to update dimensions in it though so I expect it would be tedious in a large project like a home remodel.

There are other note apps that can sync with Nextcloud. I settled on Quillpad because of its checklist functionality, though admittedly it’s not perfect.

One Pi Zero 2W runs NodeRed to control a few lights in the house. Another used to run Octoprint until it recently stopped responding. I haven’t gotten around to troubleshooting it yet.

It doesn’t lead to a destination, and maybe isn’t even a riddle, but a sentence I like is:

Is your answer to this question the same as if I had asked you to give me a dollar?

If I remember the name correctly, “Sleep With Me” is designed specifically for this purpose.

This idea of complete control over your reality reminds me of the book/novella The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. Suffice it to say the story suggests that such a reality would ultimately be meaningless.

I would say it sounds great though, even if eventually it gets really depressing.

Mindustry is a mix of a base builder and tower defense. It’s also available for PC.

Embarrassingly it took me years to realize what that quote meant. I had always interpreted it to mean that the item is found in an unexpected place. But of course what it really means is that you stop looking once the item is found, therefore that’s the last place you looked 🤦
