Masters in Architecture. Required to become a licensed architect. Almost every facet of the job can be done without a degree/license. Most of my coworkers only have a bachelor's, if that. You typically just get paid more and can get more responsibilities (and, by extension, liability) with a license.

There could be one more to differentiate engineers from architects. Do you like to solve problems (engineer) or create them (architect)? Fun flowchart!

First I'm hearing of CachyOS, very interesting! Have had my eye on Zorin, personally, as it seems like a pretty clean transition from a life of Windows. Haven't looked at how it does with games.

Can't quite get past the hump of needing Autodesk and Adobe software to be functioning flawlessly and easily accessible. A VM might suffice but that also sounds a little clunky and need to test it out.

I like the idea of using spotdl and yt-dlp but my eyes gloss over as soon as I see that there is no GUI. Lidarr kinda sucks but it gets me pretty close to what I need. Wish I was more comfy without a GUI but don't really have the time to get the hang of it. So it goes.

How much for the original?

Not aware of any cracks. I use the felddy image on my Unraid setup and the first window on a fresh install asks for the license. Same goes for when I run locally on Windows. I'm sure there's a crack out there, but I'm not aware of it.

All I can offer is my full endorsement of Foundry. It's worth the money. If $50 is a bit steep at the moment, I think they do offer a small discount with an anniversary sale each year. Not sure when that is exactly.

Switched from paying Roll20 an annoying monthly fee and it's more than paid for itself now. There is even a tool floating around to export active Roll20 games for use in Foundry. I remember it being pretty inefficient, but better than starting from scratch.

Aaaaand that's enough Lemmy for today. Bye bye.

Been using Enpass for something like a decade and it's been perfect. One time licenses can be found on stacksocial, I think.

The Trisolarans made their dark domain.

I wanna like it but for whatever reason @skiff.com just sounds a bit silly for an email.

Foundry is probably the closest I've seen, considering the non-premium modules are FOSS. Granted, I play Pathfinder (OGL/ORC license), not DnD, so I dunno if Wizards locks their stuff down more to promote using their own services.

Portability, mainly, and I want to leave the slot available in case they add other uses for it, like an extended battery. I may regret that choice and end up getting the GPU anyway, but for my use case it seems like it might be perfect.

 

I am a registered architect. As an active contributor to one of the most damaging industries to our climate (construction & building systems), I often daydream about pivoting careers into something more productive for the planet. I'm not talking about stuff like green washing or ~LEED accreditation~. Even sustainably-focused jobs are hard to come by and usually pretty regionally specific. Architects have a broad set of skills, and it's not always clear where I can take those skills and put them to better use.

Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated as I hop into my mid-life crisis before 30.
