Why was is complicated? I'm hosting https://talumriel.de for my German novels on a Rapberry Pi 3b, using Nginx and Letsencrypt with cryptbot. It's probably not super-secure, but the setup was very easy. I basically jus

I've often heard the claim that these limitations are the reason why some older record sound better than CD. During the loudness wars CDs were so aggressively limited, all while the bass content was driven up, that these would make a

The article seems to be wrong, though, and is strongly colored by the author's views about her own discipline. Many STEM fields have amassed a large body of knowledge, and there has been a qualitative shift in the 20th Century that n

As an Epicurean, nothing. Avoid all of this like the plague, interact only with close friends and do not engage in politics and "power play." Spent your time on what matters to you.

They can be surprisingly hard to get in some areas of the world. For example, I live in Portugal and larger shops like Worten, Fnac, El Corte Ingles have anything but Brother printers. Even IT providers for business and PC shops rarely have

I'm a bit skeptical about Kanban boards because you cannot have them with you all the time. That goes against the main idea of GTD to reduce cognitive load as much as possible. I used to use the " Action Day Planner " togethe

That's crazy and I'm sorry to hear that. I guess I'm lucky to have only had doctors so far in my life who listen to their patients and exclude possible diseases with the usual diagnostics. Sometimes medical doctors simplify s

We have to be able to rely on some cloud services, though, if we want georedundant backup of local files. I agree that relying on Google drive without additional backups is a bad idea, and it's generally a bad idea to store unencrypt
