@stuartl Sounds similar to my experience. Fortunately I have a beefy desktop, but qtwebengine is still something like a 5-hour build.

It's a good thing the RAM requirements are not too onerous as well...

@stuartl I flipped out a little internally when I first saw something like "Checking for 47 GB of free temporary disk space..." (to be fair that may have been qtwebengine or something)

@nu Absolutely, will do! I'm a bit busy during the week so it might take a day or so to actually do it - I'll let you know.

@paco Do you have access to the raw data? I'd imagine downloading it and plotting it with your own tooling opens up a lot of options, compared to having to use the routers built-in graphs.

@tante favorite thing I built this year is a simple little Python script that scrapes movie showtimes for theatres near me and pulls them into a dense single-page calendar display

now I can keep an eye on what's showing near me without a deluge of email or checking N websites
