Had not heard of this podcast yet, it’s just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks for it! Subscribed!

Just picked up a copy. I’ve been using regolith on Ubuntu for about a year and love it. I like the idea of being able to put together a similar environment, while not needing to get neck deep in figuring out configuration and gory details.

Seneca’s Epistles no doubt touches on his views of death through the lens of his Stoic practices. I’ve found Ward Farnsworth’s ‘The Practicing Stoic’ to be an accessible, light, introduction to some of Seneca’s works among others. William I

Execution “for fun” seems inappropriate here, doesn’t it? The comparison to medieval European justice also seems a little apples and oranges. Maybe a comparison to the Inquisition and/or the burning of supposed witches - both religious

The article mentions that Neanderthals had significantly bigger eyes along with a correspondingly bigger visual cortex [0] which I thought was interesting. I’m really curious to know what kinds of traits the Denisovans had (once enough rema

I’m no designer, but my previous workflows relied quite a bit on core functionality found in versions of CS going back to at least CS3. I’ve used CS3, CS4, CS6, and more recently CC. I only used CC because CS6 no longer worked on macOS, and

I’ve heard something similar in the past, and there are at least a couple studies that support the idea [0][1] “...humans have on average a heart rate of around 60 to 70 beats per minute, give or take. We live roughly 70 or so years, giving

Pihole or NextDNS. The latter is nice because you can quickly toggle it on or off in the event that adblocking breaks something.

Baraka is a really good film. Samsara, made later, is also good, but not quite at the level of its predecessor. Both available on Amazon.

I hadn’t heard of this video before, you’re right, it is amazing. It’s interesting, a little dark, yet some how comforting in a way I’m not sure I can articulate. If Voyager has a follow up, this is a message that should be on it. Thank you

On Apple devices it’s as easy as toggling a switch to temporarily disable it. Not perfect but easy enough. Still trying to figure out a similar solution on Linux...

Amen. Also consider angling it as appropriate. In my experience the difference is pretty noticeable. Ergogox-ez has tent kits which are great. I picked up a couple of 3D printer angled risers that I use with my classic ergodox.

I picked up a Planck kit out of curiosity. I’ve always liked small keyboards. However, I have a hard time understanding how it could be considered ergonomically friendly compared to something like the ergodox. The board is so small that it

I’ve got the classic ergodox (a couple) as well as the ergodox-ez. I’ve been using ergodox for 5-6 years now and have never had an issue with the thumb cluster, but it takes some getting used to, and there is certainly room for improvement.

And/or NextDNS.io - Uncloaking cloaked domains is primary what brought me to the service. Added benefits include service across all browsers, all devices, local/mobile etc.

I’ve moved from a local resolver with regular block list updating to NextDNS - here’s why I’d recommend it over a diy solution: 1. Easy to turn on and off. My block lists were pretty aggressive and worked beautifully 90% of the time. Howeve

Good article. I read it after commenting below, but it definitely puts the toilet paper thing into perspective. Interesting how that crosses cultures.

The run on toilet paper is what I don’t understand. I heard about it happening around the country on the radio. A guy being interviewed said something like, “toilet paper is like gold during the apocalypse.” What?! Then a relative called me

I picked up the international edition on Amazon a while back for $20 or so, significantly less than what they’re asking for now. I don’t see that one on amazon today, but I’ve seen that edition on other sites. I’d look for it. I haven’t fin

Rob’s book “A Curious Moon” is a fun way to get familiar with Postgres. I work with SQL Server quite a bit, but have always want to take a peek at MySQL or Postgres beyond simple crud/form-over-data style toys. His book is a great way

I’ve read this, too. Cats leave you gifts not because they’re being particularly friendly, but because they regard you as an incompetent hunter. You see the behavior in indoor-only cats as well though, say, leaving toys on your pillow, etc.

Is there a particular client you use or would recommend? I’ve used irssi on and off in the past, and bitchx occasionally, but I’d be curious to know what’s popular today.
