Most people who "self host" things are still doing it on a server somewhere outside their home. Could be a VPS, a cloud instance, colocated bare metal, ...

If something is not for sale, I have no qualms about pirating it. Disney vault, abandonware, obsolete versions, etc.

There are cheap household gadgets that rotate a can or bottle in a [salt] ice water bath to chill it rapidly. https://www.amazon.com/Chill-Matic-Automatic-Beverage-Chiller/dp/B0148K37K2?th=1 etc

Also more expensive ones with better temperature control for wine bottles.

I used Mattermost for a community project, but had trouble getting people to install/use/learn yet another client.

No, it can't. The compiler can't do anything with content from any file not explicitly passed to it. You're mixing up the compiler and the linker (and the linker has nothing to do with either language, it can link binaries compiled from any language).

It's a legal complaint. Someone is going to get fined, likely thousands of dollars, if the complaint is substantiated. I strongly suspect a human will be reading the whole thing more than once, before proceeding to gather much more info.

Why would that be the spirit of the law? If the parent suddenly started making more money, the kid would (probably) have more spent on raising them. Why would that same outcome not apply to the parent's responsibility being suddenly replaced by person who makes more money?

You should be able to share a significant fraction of your home directory.

Sure, and taking photos makes it a camera, and doing arithmetic makes it a calculator. But we don't call it those things.

In many parts of the US, not sure about Texas, child support is based on the parent(s)'(s) income/wealth. The same should apply here, but for the drunk driver's income/wealth.

The unnamed language that is compiled by cc.

To elaborate... C[++] is really two different languages, with mostly distinct feature sets, handled in most cases by different compilers, interpreters, parsers, etc.

The unnamed language with keywords like #ifdef and #include which produces text output is a templating system that is functionally independent of the unnamed language with keywords like for and unsigned which actually compiles to a binary.

You can use cpp to run all the logic and conditionals in that first language to produce output, even if you replace the second language with something else like python or assembly.

You can use cc to compile that second language from source to binary, without support from the preprocessor.

That second language, the one that cc understands and compiles, does not have the ability to import functions or values or whatever from other files.

Nah, you'd just get a preprocessor like C/C++ to do #include for you prior to compiling.
