How did you resist buying a house as long as possible? Did you just resist it until the numbers no longer made sense?

A real journaling app, for the hackernews crowd, must have syncing between any kind of device (imo), including the terminal. My solution is just nextcloud syncing text files, though that may be overkill. Anyone have a good or even elegant

“We can begin the restructuring of thought by declaring legitimate what we have denied for so long. Lets us declare Nature to be legitimate. The notion of illegal plants is obnoxious and ridiculous in the first place.” ― Terence McKenna, Fo

"Food of the Gods" by Terrence McKenna was a revelation and led me to dive into his other books and lectures (and many topics spawned from it). Complete shift in baseline perception. Though not his quote, he said it frequently: &

Great discussion on https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/8t4py1/would... recently about the lead up to the American civil war and how people were able to see it coming.

I completely agree. Once you know that you can break free from a mental pattern, the trick to getting yourself out of it in the future seems easier. Once shown, you learn.

I'd argue that it allows you to experience a _different_ reality, which, when juxtaposed against the collectively agreed upon reality we all live in, offers insights. Though I'd be skeptical of anyone claiming enlightenment, I do

I'd agree that it does make everything seem significant, at least for a period, but it's what comes after that has significance, after a period of integration. It creates an ability or a moment to come at a problem from a new angl

Another Terence McKenna quote I'm reminded of! "The British enzymologist, J. B. S. Haldane in the 1920s, in an essay, said, "The universe may not only be stranger than we suppose; it may be stranger than we can suppose,"

Lately, all this media attention to psychedelics reminds me of this Terence McKenna quote: "[W]hy this[psychedelics] is not four-inch headlines on every newspaper on the planet I cannot understand because I don’t know what news you wer

Check out https://blokada.org/index.html . Creates a VPN tunnel for your traffic and routes through a host file. Even let's you set name servers. Can't do that on iPhone necessarily. Root not required!

I feel like this problem wouldn't be limited to a person's use of the internet but would be an indicator of a person's lack of curiosity in general. The internet, at its most fundamental level, is just information. Saying you

Work notes I have separated by subject across various text files, using ### to delineate a topic. I then use Sublime Text 3 find in all open files (has regex option) as my notes can overlap the way they're separated. Google Keep is wha

Surprised no mention of http://www.freenom.com/ yet. Granted, I'd doubt anyone would want to run a business domain off this, but it's great for little projects and personal sites/experiments.

"I am sure that the deletion of media files in services like Facebook has never meant to be absolute." This is very common, I'm sure. There should be a way to request or a right to request permanent deletion, by law, of one&#

The major feature here would be deduplication, in my opinion. That would be hard to do though as it would have to parse the feed contents (which vary from links to articles to full blow articles sometimes) and use some kind of percentage to

email contact may be too important for everyone to be running their own mail server, at least with the solutions I'm familiar with?
