    Have you got your MacBook slightly open to allow for external displays while on battery? If so, you can use Clapet to enable the displays with the lid closed.

    clapet (Free) Clapet is a free and open-source utility that aims to improve clamshell mode on your Macbook. Clamshell mode on mac keeps your mac awake when you close the lid but it only works when a power adapter is connected. This app aims to solve this problem by allowing clamshell mode even on battery. When an external display is detected while on battery or power adapter, the application will disable sleep so you can use your computer with the lid closed, and as soon as the external display is unplugged, sleep will be enabled again to preserve the battery. (I think Lunar might have this too? I can't fully remember)

    Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

    Are you using SQLite that ships with macOS, or SQLite installed from homebrew?

    I had a different problem in the past with the SQLite that ships with macOS, and have been using SQLite from homebrew since.

    So if it’s the one that comes with macOS that gives you this problem that you are having, try using SQLite from homebrew instead.

    A running Rails application needs a database to connect to. You may already have your database of choice installed, but if not, I recommend PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short. On a Mac, probably the easiest way to install it is with Posrgres.app. Another option, the one I prefer, is to use Homebrew. With Homebrew installed, this command will install PostgreSQL version 16 along with libpq:
