I recommend reading the book from the studio engineer (Phill Brown) who worked on The Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock and Mark Hollis' solo album: Are We Still Rolling?: Studios, Drugs and Rock 'N' Roll - One Man's Journe

Ah, when I was a teenager, this was (and still is) one of my favorite albums. A band changes direction completely, creates something totally new and loses the interest of their old fans. There are three albums that somewhat relate to each o

My partner got a J&J and a few months later a BioNTech booster. It gives quite a good protection and the whole summer we were able to get to bars, movies and museums without waiting for him to get a second jab.

Now to only be able to buy a motherboard and a fast ARM CPU to my workstation and install NixOS to it, I'd be willing to try it out.

This one is also one of the rare movies that benefit from a higher resolution. Watch it as 4k from a big screen. It will look fantastic.

I used to dread setting up printers on any operating system. I've done it countless of times with Linux, Windows and macOS, and it's been quite common to have some kind of fight with the printer until I get my paper out. Only rece

Have you tried Tailscale? It is a quite simple way to create a private subnet to easily access servers behind a nat. Install a raspberry somewhere in your parents house and you can share the whole subnet with all the devices connected to th

This spotty internet in Berlin is interesting. I have a Vodafone cable and I get 5 minute cuts to tje connection every now and then. Usually around 6pm to 8pm. Always five minutes, the modem blinks the lights and internet is back on. Every

I was just thinking this when reading the email Hetzner sent me. Would it be a good investment to buy 1000 IPv4 addresses now and sell them in a few years?

I have a Vodafone cable in Berlin and it gives you one ipv6 address in NAT mode. Not really helping if using your own router and needing more than one ipv6 address (that is typically the case). I do VPN from the router, giving me a proper &

Yep. And if some insulin gets too expensive, at least in Germany they kick it out from the system completely. It's either you can sell your product in the country with a price we think is reasonable, or we will not let you to be in the

Some other things that raise your glucose and you need insulin: - waking up, liver produces glucagon - stress at work, hormones going wild… including glucagon - weather changes, when it is cooler you need more insulin - you get sick. 2-3x i

I have to ask, are you suffering from a Type 1 diabetes? If not, at least for me, this answer kind of misses the point completely. Type 1 is a hell to manage. It is REALLY hard. Like I actually use an open source pancreas to control my gluc

The difference with the old insulin vs. the analogs is that with the old ones it's really easy to lose a toe, leg, kidney or get blind. With the new analogs it's possible to control your glucose levels so that you can stay healthy

When you eat lots of fat and protein as a T1, you just get a slowly rising glucose that needs insulin and is harder to control compared to carbs with less fat. T1 is really complex even with a low carb diet, if you don't only eat veget

Although... I needed to buy a vial of the newest fast insulin in Spain last year without an insurance. One vial was 28 euros, which is much less than people in US have to pay. The insulin in question is Lyumjev from Eli Lilly.
