As an aside, there was interesting piece with the Birds Aren't Real creator recently, where he steps out of character and talks about his accidental satire fits into the wider field of conspiracy theories: https://www.thegua

I'm in the same boat as OP, and Migadu is on my shortlist of replacements along with mxroute.com. They both charge for a bucket of storage instead of per user, but MX Route is in the U.S. as opposed to Migadu in Switzerland, which may

You might like the Rocket Book notebooks. You write with a pen on paper, but then you use the app to scan your notes to email or cloud storage, and then you use a wet cloth to wipe the pages clean. You get digitized notes like an expensive

Tangential curiosity: how did traveling with just an RPi work for you? Were you borrowing screens and keyboards, or using your own keyboard with a hotel TV? Any other accessories you used? Anything you'd do differently next time?

As a parent of a child with cystic fibrosis, I think I can sympathize with the hope and excitement around gene therapies and the newest generation of medications that can treat the underlying problem instead of just the symptoms. There is e

Is there something like this for Windows or Linux, even if it's limited to basic functionality instead of being real vim behind the scenes?

For a while they sold a pack of 36 cards as a Catan accessory, labeled with 2 through 12 in the same frequencies as two six sided dice, and instead of rolling the dice you flip over the top card and then you shuffle them and start over when

I really like the HexCells series and the similar (and slightly better) Tametsi, both available on Steam. They both play like classic Minesweeper, except the puzzles are designed so that you never have to guess--every move can be logically
