Very cool idea and implementation! Will you charge some money so you are sustainably supported and this doesn't disappear in N months? I'd love to use it and then be able to rely on it long-term. Free services are great, but servi

I can relate so well with the "4 uninterrupted hours to get into it" part. With family+house responsibilities, I rarely (if ever) have that anymore.

Yes, this was a core architectural requirement of Stadia (running the games on Linux), as opposed to hosting virtualized Windows machines (which would've allowed serving up Windows-based games). Whether this specific design choice alon

I've wondered about that, but it doesn't seem to add up. Maybe you can help me find the flaw in my reasoning (below): There's (at minimum) Time being exchanged. If A gives B a massage, A and B are investing that Time in this

Your comment reminded me of this NYT article "Human Contact Is Now A Luxury Good" [0] It does seem likely that folks without solid pre-existing meatspace networks will be stuck trawling through an online ocean of Garbage PaTches l

I'm curious about whether that 1 hour can keep scaling. Would you personally consider using it to "work in a virtual office" for several multi-hour stretches every day?

It's the only way promos can happen -- adding more gratuitous useless "features" to an already-steaming pile of crap.

Since you specifically articulated it using those words, I'll point you to BlockStudio, which is a new programming paradigm (an extension of Graphical Rewrite Rules). Yes, I designed and implemented it, so I'm biased, but I believ

Can you share any pointers to resources like step-by-step guides for self-hosting SD? Also curious, what sort of hardware are you using for SD? Thanks in advance!

Boy am I glad I did not bother to redeem the NFT that came with my toddler's Hot Wheels race track!

We're in the same boat, in many aspects. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Several useful tips in here, but I was expecting to see some strategies for using a ReMarkable with this workflow and it's a glaring omission... perhaps this site is a bit dated now?

You are correct. That RIC is a good way to know whether your local waste management system can accept the item. GP is also correct, in that this RIC could have been a number surrounded by (say) a circle, a square, or a pentagon -- but inste

Did you by any chance, also write the "grug-brained developer" (one of my favorite essays on SW Dev)? The artwork at that link looked familiar :)
