I don’t expect much but I found an old pi I bought probably 2016(may of been 2017). It was supposed to be a pi-hole but was never able to get the dns forwarding to work on my modem. It still works but wanted to somehow convert it to a regular distro(it’s based on a micro-SD and I don’t have any more microsd readers). I wanted to set it up as a basic system I could ssh into a terminal. Not expecting anything fancy or even graphic based. A lot of stuff I want to learn/practice “work” on windows but are native to Linux, like vim/neovim nmap gcc etc. Is this feasible? Am I under estimating what’s possible with it?

I thought of this after a recent bug I found. I use Vivaldi browser and recently it updated. After the update my mouse cursor was not visible when within the browser window. Other programs worked fine. I tried visual studio and steam and epic game store all had my mouse, Vivaldi didn’t.

So I’ve been working a program, exact details don’t matter, which stores information in a database(either locally hosted or privately hosted by user). Basically it’s to store a history of seizures and medication, so you can give it to a doctor and see something like “well most seizures occur in morning so let’s give medication at 6am instead of 8am” or something like that. To do that requires two “accounts” one for caregiver and one for patient(idea is for parents of a child with medical issues). It requires accounts to see like “dad gave medicine at 7pm” or “mom saw child 1 have a seizure at 230pm”. These are basically just names stored in the local/private database, I will not no them or track them.

What os? What ide? What plug-ins?

I’ll give an example. At my previous company there was a program where you basically select a start date, select an end date, select the system and press a button and it reaches out to a database and pulls all the data following that matches those parameters. The horrors of this were 1. The queries were hard coded.
