  • It does it’s job but it’s suuper ineffective - you have to have a window open to suck in (hot outside) air that the portable AC cools itself with and throws out.
    That open window even with that “sock” cover it comes with, lets back so much of the outside air and if you are like me renting a badly insulated flat, you are comfortable only when the AC is running, it won’t really cool down (and keep cool) the living space.
    I do wonder why they don’t make a dual hose portable systems so that at least the unit is not pulling the air directly from the window, mixing already cool inside air with the hotter outside one.















  • Using pip to install packages outside of venv was always a risk, (newer) pip now has this mechanism to really drive the point home that this can break stuff.

    Do I have to do this everytime I start the script via console?

    Yes, one way to get rid of this requirement is to package the script as binary/executable package (add pyproject.toml with some sane defaults and with proper [project.scripts]) and then install the project using pipx - pipx install -e path/to/the/project/, the -e flag stands for editable and is nice to have here as you won’t have to reinstall everytime you change the script.
    What pipx does is that it creates the local virtualenv, installs everything the package declares as needed and adds a special executable script into location like ~/.local/bin/ that first sources the venv and then starts the entry script - keeping everything isolated.



  • pipx won’t work for that, it’s a library.

    If you are working on your own project/script, you should use virtualenv for development and install all required libraries there.
    If you need it because some system installed application or part of your system does not work without it then… you are in bad place - pip is python package manager primarily used for general python development (installing depending packages, and in theory also for packaging python projects) but it should never be used as system wide package manager - you will break stuff (especially when used with sudo).

    For me, Steam (on Linux) has been periodically corrupting the ntfs disk, I do use it on windows too and not even win hybrid/fastboot/hibernation disabled helps.

    May I see what mount options you use for the ntfs3 driver in fstab? I do not currently have the nocase and windows_names …
