Resentment is usually a feeling which has little to do with ethics.
Actions are more easily analyzed for ethical value.
I guess that you're considering the action of showing resentment by being absent or cold to them.
From a utilitarian perspective this could serve the purpose of communicating your resentment indirectly which may increase the overall good by preventing this scizsm from infiltrating other parts of your life and others. On the other hand this outcome is not guaranteed.
If you apply value ethics of your actions it really depends on what ideals you hold yourself to.
If you take a completely honest person as your ideal, direct communication is probably more ethical than indirect communication, but indirect communication would still be superior to deceiving them into thinking you agree with them in any way.
Instead, you may idealize an honest pacifist who would value indirect communication higher than direct if direct would also come with conflict.
These are my thoughts, I am by no means an expert in ethics.
Just intellisense and other language servers. I remember when Microsoft was boasting about how much of their code was generated by intellisense. Now whenever I hear them hype how much ai written code they use I am reminded of it. It's not an llm but is still a type of ai.
I recommend making room on your drive using windows tools to shrink the windows partition before letting your Linux installer add new ones, or doing it manually. This is just so that no weird filesystem bugs show up after resizing your ntfs filesystem with Linux tools. Never had a problem with them but it's probably good to use Microsoft tools to mess with the Microsoft filesystem just in case.
I used to use Gentoo on my laptop, mostly for fun but also because I kept having issues on other distros (Ubuntu mostly) where I wanted to run the latest blender release but my libraries were out of date. On Gentoo I could easily get the most recent builds.
I think you need to start a project, accept it will be slow and painful, and don't become an expert before you start, just use the skills you have and see where they take you. The only thing that matters in software is that it works. The definition of working changes over time, but get that first working version and you will keep going.
When you say open a port you mean forwarding connections to that port to your machine inside your lan?
Next steps I would take are to verify you can access the port within your lan
I.e. if your machine has a local IP of 192.168.1.23 and your service is listening on port 4200 try connecting to 192.168.1.23:4200 from another device on the lan, or even from the machine itself although I'm not sure that's always a good test.
You can also try nmap to scan you lan or netstat on the host to check what ports are in use.
If that fails you may have a restrictive firewall on your machine blocking inbound connections. A quick check to see if this is the problem is to disable the firewall entirely, just remember to turn it back on if you need it!
If you can access it locally on the lan, sniffing traffic with Wireshark may help debug the issue. You should be able to see the router sending forwarded traffic into the lan. If the configured IP address is not known to the router you may just see arp requests for who has [IP address to forward to]
For me the tinkering is part of the fun, so old beat up ender 3s are perfect. If you want something ready to go, even a brand new ender 3 won't give you that 🤣
Renoise is sweet as far as trackers go.
Ardour was always my go-to although it's been crashing on me a lot.
Shout out to BespokeSynth for being amazing, I forgive the crashes because it's so cool and strongly foss.
