I love all the ideas you have! Explaining how computers work, on a basic technical level, is something everyone should know nowadays.

I would suggest to focus the programming on something small, fun and instantly rewarding. Something like Snake in Pygame is not overly complex and you can take it step by step, so that every student will have something to show at the end, with varying levels of complexity. I would advise against using templates for projects, a lot of courses do but in my opinion it makes it harder for the student to replicate the work on its own later on.

In terms of networking, setting up a small test network with a WEP access point, a WPS access point and a WPA2 access point and letting the students (in groups, probably) try to figure out how to access/crack the passwords for them. (WEP and WPS should be easy, but WPA2 would require the deauthing exploit, which is a tad more complex).

Also the idea of cheap usb drives, which they can put on a live distro (or make it come with one) is a great way to start the lesson. This way they can have a setup that’s detached from the usual limitations school pc’s give. (if that’s still a thing).

Do make sure to teach them the ethics around hacking, cracking and downloading. From what I remember, Germany used to be decently lax on all three, but started to crack down on it in the past 10 years. Teaching responsibility and what the consequences are is very important.

That’s way too far-fetched!

Up, since I fill the dishwasher 😅. I have been trying to convince her to get a top tray dishwasher, but for now I’ve not won the battle. Personally I prefer the convenience of not accedentially having a utensil outside the basket and messing with the rotor.

This was one of the earliest discussions I had when I moved in with my partner. She had the utensils spoon - fork - knife and I had knife-fork-spoon. (She won btw)

I prefer for it to be just a warning so I can debug without trouble, the build system will just prevent me from completing the pull request with it (and any other warning).

Sounds to me like an absolute nightmare, putting many dogs together ensures some of them won’t like each other and will create a bark fest, triggering other dogs to bark too. Dogs might be pack animals, but their pack is with its humans and it will try to protect its pack from other packs

I’ll spend as much effort as possible to be as lazy as I can be. (in Dutch: Zo veel mogelijk moeite om zo lui mogelijk te kunnen zijn)

I’ll try automating everything till the point I’m currently thinking on how to automate my living room door to be open/closed through home assistant without affecting manually opening it.

While not the same, neopets is still alive!

it’s based on mastodon as far as I know, so it will show a community per user where only the community owner can post.

I’m not sure about replies though…

Try Obtainium, it gives can give update notifications for apps installed from github.

Same here, only when Google referred me to a post I’ve looked at it, I hope that the trove of issues&fixes that’s currently there starts up and gets indexed on Lemmy soon!
