I’m no lab scientist but when I switched from a hackintosh to an M1 Mac mini a few years ago, my total electricity consumption went down by around 15-20%. This can mean a lot on the long run if you’re tight on budget.

What’s great about Mac minis is that they’re extremely power efficient since they’re ARM machines, so if you live somewhere like in Europe where power is expensive, it can save you a lot of money. They’re usually completely silent too.

Depending on their needs, I’d suggest OP to get a used M1 Mac mini, they’re great value for money.

I was the same until like two months ago when I had to learn Nginx!

As far as I know only Apache uses .htaccess files, Nginx works a different way

Most times I find that these projects are either old or badly made (often both). If you’re inspired and you feel like you can make them better, then go for it.

An artist isn’t going to refrain from painting a portrait of a dog if other artists have already painted dog portraits, so why should you?

Yeah that’s what I thought, it’s not really comparable. Doesn’t explain why they all suck so bad compared to Android’s custom keyboard though

Definitely, oftentimes open source projects don’t make it easy for themselves

What do you mean for the keyboards? Isn’t there an API for third parties? I guess it’s too limited but I’m wondering in what ways exactly
