Like most of GMing, it's an art. You get a feel for it based on the players and the system.

Follow one group until there's a natural break in the action, or their need to make decisions, or just until the other group gets fidgety.

Like television does, with cuts back and forth on story beats.

"Okay, you guys set to work rooting around for the McGuffin in the library. Meanwhile! Group B, what are you doing?"

Secondarily, encourage (remote) communication if the setting allows it. Give one group a clue that will help the other group, but it must be conveyed.

Objects in LEO fall quickly (months to single-digit years) without station-keeping, mostly from atmospheric drag. Anything we put there wouldn't contribute to a long-term Kessler Syndrome situation. It's geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) we have to worry about, but once you're up that high there's a lot more room for everything.

It was many months between announcement and release of their previous hardware. How soon do you need a laptop?

There's an app to pull the Astronomy Picture of the Day and set it as a wallpaper

But it's the big releases that have the most bugs and UX breakage

I use it often to share large files (pictures and videos, mostly).

Clones of face buttons.

Discord Push-to-Talk.

In Factorio the keyboard modifiers (alt, ctrl) are back there.

On the topic of build times, it took me too long to learn that nixos-rebuild supports remote build workers and targets.

For example, if I am editing on my laptop, want to build on my desktop, and apply the build to my file server, then I'd run...

me@laptop$ nixos-rebuild test \
--flake ~/wherever-it-lives \
--build-host desktop \
--target-host file-server \
--use-remote-sudo

The host names should match the name of the nixosConfiguration output from your flake. If they don't I think you can specify like, --target-host .#some-machine

Remote sudo avoids having to SSH as root.

Bonus tip: Having Tailscale on every machine makes this work reliably from anywhere, network speed as the limit.

No, just this example code from their site:

browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=True)

My mistake was not knowing where newspaper4k fits in the stack. They're wrapping it with Playwright, which it seems you could do here.

Looks like newspaper4k uses headless Chrome. You could try loading the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension and browsing the pages directly.

I regularly use it (in Firefox) without even thinking about it. Only notice when I send someone an article they can't access.
