I used unRAID a while back for nearly two years. It's delightfully convenient for managing Docker containers, multiple disks w/ data parity, network file sharing, and even VMs with passthroughs. The last feature, especially, is ab

Absolutely, it's sadly a compromise. Although there's one thing that's much harder to forget and won't be prone to distortion: how we felt ! If we immerse and let our feelings of wonder and awe prevail, it will be diffi

When possible, I first visit the place without a camera and strive to immerse completely. I then visit it again and take pictures. Not using the camera the first time - and having to think about how I'll take the pictures when revisiti

Love KeePassXC - it's a beautiful and speedy program which simply just works without ever causing any problems. The original KeePass always struck me as a tad heavy due to its somewhat archaic aesthetic and dependency on Mono, whereas

Literate programming has been particularly useful for my "dotfile" configurations, such as .emacs, .vimrc, .zshrc and even the .gitconfig file. I use one .org file to declare all of my configurations, and tangle them together into

You are absolutely right! We expect all information to be given to us, instead of us seeking the specific information we need. The solution is to - like your maxim implies - reverse the paradigm, by treating technology like it was initially

Most derivatives generally just add packages and customisation to make a more convenient and specialised derivative. At the top of the "family tree" of distributions, you've got "root" distributions such as Slackwar

Absolutely agreed! It's just in my personal case, I've shifted towards actively seeking content rather than having it passively delivered by subscribing/following. But you're definitely right regarding simple accounts an

One of the very few things I miss about social media is seeing HONY posts appear in the newsfeed. They were always a delightful and authentic highlight amidst a sea of forgettable posts filled with superficial drama, misery and cynicism. Br

Complexity of storage/presentation formats can indeed compromise accessibility and longevity. However, trying to enforce plain text on everything can be detrimental to the quality and fidelity of information. Of course, it very much de

Absolutely beautiful little OS - I love that it manages to balance well between being light, secure and rather versatile for server environments. I run it as a WireGuard & Docker server on a low-end VPS, and it just works without any pr

DistroWatch counts by clicks to the distro's page from what I remember. Its statistics represent the "interest", rather than install count. With regard to Alpine Linux on Docker, the install count[0] of the base image should

By separating who we are from what we do. Our jobs are our jobs, not us. Our projects are our projects, not us. Our perfectionism exists because we've been taught to define our worth according to how perfect something we create is. As

I see it as our minds being impressioned into a) needing new information and b) fearing a lack of information. This fear manifests as a habit of continuously craving novelty, to the point where we are used by technology. A step towards ov

You're absolutely right -- it can definitely become difficult to achieve that ideal with certain clients, and as you've also said, "simple" and "maintainable" can be a very subjective thing. I admit that it&#x2

This also served as a way of mitigating the impostor syndrome, which I'm sure many of us have dealt (or are currently dealing) with. Do you have any other approaches? I'm interested to read your thoughts!

Cheers for the heads-up on the typo. The diagram's an SVG, with the labels being in plain ASCII. One keystroke is all it took indeed! :P On the serious side, ASCII art diagrams are splendid and I very often use them myself, though they

You're right -- I forgot to mention social media; definitely exacerbates the doom narrative.

Must admit, the article and comments have completely changed my impression of the Souls series. The "git gud" mantra has been drilled into my numbskull to the point where I would restart a boss fight even if I got hit once. I got

Current journalism optimises for fear (especially after how lucrative COVID-19 reporting has proven to be). The more fearful and angry people feel, the more news they'll continue to consume. It's best to take a break from reading

This was concocted at 5AM -- my apologies for any peculiar sentence structures or odd phrasing. Will re-re-re-revise it again with fresh eyes after resting 'em!

I'm exactly in the same boat as you regarding both the mentality and approach. Just a curious question about the index notes: don't you feel they're cluttering up the graph and result in superficial relationships between the

If using a Linux VM, your hypervisor's checkpoint capabilities should suffice. If you want to go a step further (albeit with the caveat of using Windows), then Deep Freeze by Faronics will revert your Windows VM during each boot.

The post ultimately seems to boil down to "be more empathetic and considerate of your users", and building reliable software is of course one of the ways to accomplish that. Unfortunately, the OP's points stem from various bi
