Any recommendations for drip irrigation?

I'm thinking of something that can keep the plants from drying out, as potential job prospect would have me away from the apartment most of the week when working.

From what I can tell, I need something that can either pump and/or be gravity fed from a container as there's no outdoor water connection. Nothing too elaborate though since there's only two planter boxes and three pots. (boxes being about 36"x8"x8", pots something like 6" to 8") For the reservoir I'm thinking of getting one of those 5 gallon bottles from the grocery store and I can set it up on a storage bin, so at least that part seems easy enough. But hard to judge what's what from online listings of drip systems - curious what would be good on a budget?

Currently I just soak my planters to the brim with a watering can in the morning and they are setup for good drainage. (Minimal risk of root rot given how I did it with cloth barriers and gravel layer to drainage holes to the catch pans.) However if I let them go more than a day the plants definitely droop. I figure if they water over enough duration (not all at once with the manual approach) I could change the strat a bit to get it working.

Pairing software/firmware on Linux?

Just wondering if that's a thing? Would like to have more versatility from a pair of GO4 and possibly some other speakers. My laptop is setup with Linux, I didn't see anything on the included materials about additional OS support.

The thing is that the speakers work well already with the existing Bluetooth. But ensuring they're in stereo, or perhaps adding other channels would be nice.

Anyone know if it's possible to get color Bic ballpoints individually or in small sets?

Or to be more specific, the harder to find colors that usually only seem to come in the variety set. And they are the gum ballpoint ink typical to Bic, not gel. (The way they apply to paper is different. You can get sketchier lines and hatched shading similar to pencil, but it's still it's own thing.)

Paid a premium for a 15-pc variety set to not get duplicate colors on Amazon, but at some point the colors like orange, brown, or yellow will run out. And typically you don't see them in retail outside of the variety sets.

Seems like there should be a way to get them that would seem more reasonable, as it would make approaching drawing with colors using ballpoint a bit more viable.

Befaco 2.11 Update issue

Not sure if it's something with public wifi access I'm using now or something with the update itself, but after running it from the library menu within VCV, none of the modules or the brand is available. I vaguely remember some way to do a roll-back with other modules, but it's been a good while. Is there a particular method to go to the previous one fairly quickly? (Github is being particular in finding versioning too, so maybe some advice there.)

I had Iroi working not too long ago, so I'm pretty sure 2.10 was the last good version on my setup.
