Passionately into sailing. Frugal consumerism and mathematics. Learned to code in dBase. Linux, POSIX and FOSS. Interested in Bitcoin-applied philosophy. Skeptical of social-media, nostr included.

How did that quote go?

When you focus on linux, you grow.

When you focus on windows...πŸ’©πŸ€ͺ

Great effort from your part. Keeping the brain plastic is the winner.

Yes, back to 0.94.3-fdroid here, due to failures of loading feeds and also bandwidth usage.

Relays settings tested: 2, 3, 4 and 10. It works great for the main list "All Follows" but all other default and custom naddr's it constantly fails or freezes fetching, even "Global".

My usage is "bare", I'm a reader. No video, URL or profile img preview, only images. Always on Performance mode. Even so, I burned through 50Gb of bandwidth in less than 10 days.

Back to 0.94.3, my usage returned to 3-5Gb per week

Philosophically?

I read your blog post and love any efforts at recognizing how powerful and capable 64-bit computers already were a decade ago.

Two quotes came to mind about WSL: "...like polishing a turd" and "puttin' lipstick on a pig".

Since Win XP, there's just nothing that can make it "usable".

Wouldn't the time employed at flushing it all out for something like Alpine, bring meaning and satisfaction to you??

In addendum: "People write because no one listens."

Interest is precise and focused.

"How you doing?" is broad, vague and "canned".

The .28 gang on the rise.

In hindsight, we should have stuck to 21, and never been seduced by Taproot. Yaaay for the Lightning developments, naay for all else. Snowballed-bloating nightmare.

Paraphrasing the Unix philosophy: "Perform one task, and perform exceptionally well".

Replying to Avatar inpc

Lotus 1-2-3 came out a few years prior, and ran in DOS. VisiCalc was even earlier.

People hate it today because they have no clue how painful it is to manually calculate endless columns by hand and actually get it right.

"Yes Gandalf, I was there πŸ˜…"

So based on your logic: Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung have been illegaly not allowing bootloaders to be unlocked in smartphones since 2014, impeding third parties from flashing custom software into the hardware, hence disrupting market competition?

How do you propose anyone litigates against these companies, if they are legitimately complying with 2014/53 Article 3.3(i): having features that keep their radio equipment with software that is compatibly demonstrable???

Reminding that this is about Delegated Act of 2022, which is an ammendment (by "Queen" Ursula) to, and redundantly cites, Article 3 of 2014/53.

Yes... but... the tip of the tongue on a 9V battery.

Only dd can teach permanent humbleness πŸ˜‚

Welll... the times of irresponsible amounts of time (all weekend) vibeing bitchat πŸ˜‚

Seems like an orchestrated "attack". Laws for research:

Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU and Delegated Act 2022/30.

In the late 90's, I was sold the narrative that input would eventually come from haptic gloves and pushing holographic projections around. Thirty years later, all I want is a minimalistic keyboard and a monochromatic terminal environment.

BitChat: came for the bluetooth mesh, stayed for the geofenced irc-like chat via nostr.

#nostr #bitchat

Is there a distance limit for geohash in the android apk? I'm currently in Scandinavia and cannot reach further than ~1250, or the app does not list further.

Makes me wonder if most people are just chatting via bitmap.lat in the farther regions, which kind of beat the purpose.

Infinity. If physically true and we cannot "reach for the stars", is it of any relevance to the living?

Yeah, something "fishy" with the Aeropress. It just tastes A LOT better than all else. But the rubber from the plunger is also in full contact with the boiling water, and some micro bits from friction will inevitably end up in our morning goodness.

The stainless percolators or the french plungers are also great, but the grounds floating in my cup are not pleasant to my taste.

This is the filter I alluded to earlier. Only weighs 70g and it only needs a splash of water to clean up. Don't even need detergent or a filthy sponge, the grounds just fall off from the tap water.

It's also easier to make extra cups when someone visits, which was always onerous with one Airpress. I live on a sailboat, so weight counts and water is scarce for clean up.

It won't be long until such genre of music is composed about the EVIL and PSYCOPATHIC whole coiners.

So... this identical "workflow", except no paper filter with chemicals, nor the plastic strainer leaching PFAS into our glorious concoction.

A 304 stainless steel coffee filter/strainer!

The mesh MUST BE 800. The 600 is too course. Bought it on both Amazon and Aliexpress.

Apparently, paper filters hold back the healthy fats from the beans, whilst espresso machines do not.

Clean up is painless: just rinse, the grinds fall off. Don't even need to brush or use detergents.

Congratulations! Not for the weak.

The most common excuse: "I just don't delete it because all my friends and family are there".

It's been four years for me. Suddenly the deafning silence reveals what of genuine exists in life.

Welcome to the REAL free world. Hope you find peace in it πŸ₯³
