I made some apps for my own use.
One is a food score browser. It connects to an offline database supplied with the apk and shows search results in a scrollable list as well as details on select. You can search in english and german the same time.
I know I won`t make friends with this but check out B4A.
Its a “BASIC like” syntax (no its not basic spaghetti code) in a RAD environment that outputs native java code apk.
Its free and a good support forum. You could even put your app on the store
Edit: you could also compile to java for pc and ios software
You can still edit titles you know
PEP8 is looking at you
You are correct, there is a lot more to dive in like NAT, IPv6, static or dynamic address, UPnP, MAC address, subnet space etc.
But I wanted to keep it simple.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) is a communication protocol that is used to coordinate a network via a server. The server in most home cases is your internet router. It coordinates the network.
Think of your network as a town with streets, every street has a unique name aka network address. So when a new device gets into the town it gets a unique address in a certain format, when requested by the clients. Mostly IPv4 i.e. 192.168.178.20.
Second there are ports. Ports are the house numbers of the streets. So if two devices use the same IP they still can be differentiated by using different ports. To address a specific port you write it behind the IP, in our example 192.168.178.20:80. So we use port 80.
To come back to the beginning the router coordinates the IP addresses and the ports from your internal network via DHCP and makes sure every device is accessible and no doubles.
There is a lot more but very briefly this is it.
Check out FHEM, you connect them via MQTT
To report back, my system is up and running. Used my spare odroid xu4 with dietpi for it. Put it all in a case and attached a cheap Nooelec stick. Waiting for my antenna today and to decide where to put it under the roof.
Fine tuning for best reception location will be taking a while to be honest.
Here is an article that explains what you are thinking about.
In short, you can’t.
A bit longer, while in quantum dimentions it is meanwhile obvious that superposition exists. As shown by many experiments. In the marco world it seems that there is a threshold of factors still to be determined what makes reality happen even if nobody experience it on a conscious level.
You could als checkout some Kurzgesagt videos.
Uhh, this seems like a completely new rabbit hole to dive in.
Pocketbook anyone?
I am at book 2 second half . Its in german and they split 1 english book in two german audiobooks. So it is book 4 in germany.

Jep, it seems like Damocles Sword was hanging above us the whole time (⊙_⊙)
This seems to affect ZFS >=2.2.0. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is on ZFS 2.1.5
Nope!
OpenZFS through 2.1.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.1 contain this bug.
This issue occurs less often in version 2.2.1, and in versions before 2.1.4, because of the default configuration in those versions.
From here
For all Proxmox users it looks like the new ZFS kernel module with the patch is included in the opt-in kernel 6.5.11-6-pve for now.
The kernel 6.5 actually became the default in Proxmox 8.1, so a regular dist-upgrade should bring it in. Run “zpool --version” after rebooting and double check you get this:
zfs-2.2.0-pve4 zfs-kmod-2.2.0-pve4
As this versions are patched for bug.
One of my favorite, second is different but also good and the third of the series just came out afaik.
The last couple of month I listened to the Stormlight Archive series but recently took a break.
I started Reamde from Neal Stephenson again. Funny thing is that its normally not my genre. Computer yes but I am more into hard sci-fi (Hamilton or Tchaikovsky i.e.) or epic fantasy like Sanderson.
But this book totally took me away out of my comfort zone. Thats why I started it a second time. Last was 2 years ago. I am desperate looking for another out of the loop for me but couldn’t find any, yet.
It started with typing in BASIC code out of magazines. Used an Apple II those days. I missed the step going into pascal, C etc and stuck with basic syntax more or less my whole life. Not spagetti code anymore but still some BASIC derivates. B4X is what I use on Android now to create native APK.
Also I love IDEs with an integrated graphical interface designer. VB6 was my thing.
Over the years I used assembler, sql, bash also but always as tools to get my hardware to do what I need. The software I wrote was/is for my own convenience at work and in private. Written for PC and Android.
I tried to go commercial one time but the lawyer I talked to shattered my dreams because of insurance requirements when you write software used in peoples air transport business. If something goes wrong you really have a problem.
My Android software uses databases filled with scraped data so can’t make them official as well. The royalty fees to pay if I try the official route kills every attempt before starting.
So it’s still a hobby, very satisfying but not more.
Edit: scraped not scrapped , LoL
VM should work. For B4i (ios) you need also a mac for compile afaik.
The output runs on win, linux, server, mac, ios, android or arduino. Depending on what you used b4a, b4i, b4j or b4r. The syntax is the same eveywhere.
The crossplatform libary b4x pages makes sure that the same program look and feel can be compiled to various platforms without to much hassle.
