Yeah, it has not yet been released as of this moment... Soon!

Curious. It is imminent, yes, but as of right this moment the download page for me still shows 0.21.2 https://www.freecad.org/downloads.php and release notes go to https://wiki.freecad.org/Release_notes_0.21 and the blog is not updated.

Perhaps it's an edge cache update that hasn't happened yet?

Regardless, it's happening very soon and this is a great thing!

1.0 has not been released yet. Maybe it'll happen this week, but as of this moment, RC4 is available but the actual release does not yet exist. Don't know why people keep posting and up voting incorrect and easily verifiable information.

Having said that, the release candidates have been great and this will be a great milestone for FreeCAD.

You may want to consider going with a more DIY build vs the Ecoflow. I have one, and it's a good backup power solution, or for running a cooler fridge when camping, but it is not a UPS nor well suited to running daily loads (mine does not have LFP battery chemistry, so is only rated for something like 800 cycles).

I'd go check out what folks are doing for this sort of arrangement at https://diysolarforum.com - lots of good stuff there.

Next is to login and look at the logs, especially dmesg. Find out how to open a virtual terminal, probably ctrl+alt+f1 (or f2 etc) so you can bypass the display manager to login and poke around. Or try SSH from another system. There's a couple of ideas, good luck!

And I hate when people take a single case and extrapolate it as a general statement.

By that argument Ubuntu is equally unstable as they have rolled out updates that broke grub resulting in unbootable systems - not during a full distro upgrade, but as Ubuntu specific patches to LTS.

In the end, we have choice, and choice is a good thing.

Arch is not harder to maintain not is it easier to break, that's a myth. If anything, it's the opposite, as a rolling release stays up to date, though it relies on the user keeping it up to date. If you get lazy with updates, then yes, you are going to have problems eventually.

Every time I try to do the same thing I just end up renewing my Sublime. I've spent hours configuring and trying other editors and I just can't do it in the end - Sublime is so fast, productive, bloat-free, and perfect. I'll be watching this though for next time, because I know I'll try again at some point. Good luck!

Darn it, we'll never know if the cat gets reunited! It was a fun and unique, if too short, game.

The ideal case for me is that I don't need HACS at all. My experience has been the same - I've happily been able to switch to core HA components and stop using HACS ones. It's great to see HA is not idle with success, they are continuing to make new features even when backwards compatibility may break.

This is normal behavior. There is much more to the JVMs memory usage beyond what's allocated to the heap - there are other memory regions as well. There are additional tuning options for them, but it's a complicated subject and if you aren't actually encountering out of memory issues you have to ask if this is worth the effort to tune it.

I love my A6X2 Nomad, it's a great device. Note that it's an Android based device. For me, I have no interest in hacking it, side loading Android apps, or running Linux on it. It does exactly what I want it to out of the box and serves its purpose perfectly as a low power digital notebook.
