I keep a compost pile going in my chicken run to supplement the chickens food. They can't survive on only bugs though, there's a lot of minerals they need that come directly from plants. Some people may be surprised to learn that

I came across this in the PopOS app store and wanted to share. It's very modern looking, fast, and free. I've struggled to find comparable clients that fit all three criteria.

I've (unintentionally) done intermittent fasting for most of my adult life. Frankly, it's just mindless. I don't have to think about it that hard. When I did keto or calorie counting years prior it was basically not only part

I think I can help disambiguate a bit. "is not a strategy" is a bit of a tip of the hat to "hope is not a strategy", the full extrapolation of which means that a plan is not equivalent to strategy and an unexercised stra

Kind of a spicy opinion as a SRE, but if your disaster recovery strategy isn't part of your operational strategy then it's not actually a strategy. It's a moonshot in the face of failure.
