   ALL (drug) medicine is luck based. Even antibiotics have their non-responders. Best to avoid doctors and make educated self-tests after internet/Google Scholar search.

   I copy links in several (desktop, laptop, cellphone) text files, so I can grep them. For fuzzy search there is tre-agrep, or Whoosh for Python.

   I second to investigate into SQLite first. Someone with no budget very rarely needs a DB that can scale a lot. Beginning with Litestream may be an option. https://litestream.io/

   I have a datalogger based on RaPi running since around 2 years. It writes every 5 minutes more or less 25 bytes to a file on a standard SD card. I have frequent black outs (and maybe brown outs, too, but never investigated this), and I neve

   It happens even in Google Scholar. A few days ago I searched for 'influenza' and some other term and got 80% SARS-COV-2 results. And not the paper I searched for, although it is a 2022 paper.

   Atm you should go for a cheap rootable common phone and install the OS that fits best your needs for privacy, security and comfort. Popular are LineageOS, postmarketOS, GrapheneOS, /e/, DivestOS, CalyxOS,...

    You just have to anticipate the actions and reactions of the monkeys. Very rare cases, when this is not possible. If you want to minimize your risk to get hurt in an accident, it is way way more efficient to minimize your participation in t

    I do not wear a seatbelt. Never needed it in 36 years of driving. Of course just when I am driving. I have no confidence in other monkeys.

    You underestimate alcohol. It is a cheap and versatile desinfectant, that can be made relatively easy in remote areas or by people who want to live more independant. Furthermore, hot alcohol, especially beer, is a very strong medicine for r

    I second this. With vd -f sqlite <data.sqlite> you can use it as a gate to SQL data. I found even for small personal data spreadsheets are to limiting compared with SQL, so I do not use them any longer. Btw, I never had stability prob
