My "personal hypothesis" is that the ADHD/Autism/OCD are fundamentally related somehow. The comorbidity between them is much higher than general population incidence, there's large symptom overlap, on a personal lev

I've gone full NixOS on my laptop and my gaming/homeserver desktop. I love it (even if there are parts I hate) and will never move to anything "less declarative". 100% no regrets. However, I only recommend it with the ca
