Having used masks for over a decade: not really. It's second nature to push up the mask.

Earplugs and sleep masks are habit forming, but speaking as a light sleeper, it's better than the alternative. It's easy enough to always have one on hand, and makes a big difference in my restfulness.

As a side sleeper I had the opposite experience unfortunately, so YMMV. The Manta Pro is touted for side sleepers, but I've used both the pro and original and they both suffer from the same problem: it still slips around and the walls

I repurposed my original 11th gen board as a home server running a NAS and NVR, among other things. [1] These boards are going to kick ass for a long time because of the IO. USB 3.2 can handle 10Gbps, enough for a SATA drive array. Thunderb

A couple years ago we made a Morse Code chatbot for an xkcd April fool's comic [1]. I learned a lot about the UX of Morse input. It can be tricky for folks new to Morse to have consistent timing around dots and dashes. Displaying the d

I'm using this 5-bay USB 3.2 drive enclosure [1] and the official Framework 3d printed case [2] in polycarbonate ordered via Craftcloud (the Cooler Master case would have been both cheaper and easier!) I also looked at TB4 disk enclos

This is exactly what I did when the 12th gen came out. My original mainboard is now running our home NAS and NVR.

I love how this launch included new reuse paths for old components, including a new mainboard case [1] and battery / screen case designs. If Framework maintains mechanical compatibility between generations, things are going to get real

Anecdotally, I've found that TSA interest has decreased over time. I built a DAN A4 with an AIO cooler in 2019 and have flown over 10 times with it. My last 3 flights, I didn't get stopped at all.

apt repository metadata and package data are typically verified via gpg signature (sometimes https for third party repos). Debian/Ubuntu first party repos are verified via gpg keys already stored in your system.

Similarly, I got a Combustion Inc. predictive thermometer: https://combustion.inc Looks similar to the meater, with more sensors. Having insight into the true core temperature of meat has been a step change in my cooking ability

I recently hired Integration Engineers (ie-pdx.com) for a similar job in PDX. They were fantastic to work with.

This is potentially fantastic news, if only to have a universal magnetic mounting standard across mobile devices. The past few years have seen an explosion of cool applications of magsafe: - Corridor Digital made a multi-phone mounting rig

Development should be more exploratory and experimental than prod. For the past decade I've had a similar strategy: I freely install and demo new dependencies on separate dev hardware (or a VM when I'm on the road). Then I code re

Pros: - Low friction install process. Prompt user and you're done. - No extra distribution channel (same build as web, auto updates baked in) - Permissions sandboxed by browser. Cons: - Compat (though for some simple apps using mature

It reminds me a bit of "Low-background steel", which recently popped up again here. Images older than 2020 are predominantly human generated. Anything later is suspect!

Doubtful. It'll be a while until Framework operates at a scale that even makes a blip on Apple's bottom line. Legislation could have a large and immediate impact on Apple. (I say this as a happy Framework laptop owner)

I pulled my own data. Hilariously, it includes my 3 years at reddit with the official title "JavaScript Apologist", which is what I wrote for myself on the about page when I was developing it.

One thing this helps with is keeping development environments up to date. When there's a large spread between instance lifetimes, it becomes more difficult to deploy updates and changes to developer infrastructure. This can grow into a
