About Aachen

Contact as rot13: juannpura@yhptbzznaf.ay

In case you don't have a rot13 binary installed on your unix(-like) system, I can recommend the bsdgames Debian package: besides rot13/caesar/morse coders, it also comes with tiny terminal games like atc and boggle. On shared servers, monop is fun if you're both attached to the same screen session (`screen -x`). Or you could just use one of the many boring alternatives like https://rot13.com :-)

    First mention in chats for me was September 2016. Not sure how that topic came up but LLMs aren't the only way to get there. It's also a rather obvious principle to come up with, a…

    Huh, I'm positive this was one of the first I considered (or perhaps it was a different dyslexia font) but I can't find the reason why I would have preferred PT Sans over this. Eac…

    What are the 4/5ths that you don't like, and which one(s) would you recommend instead? (I'm mostly interested/focussed on the sans variant but also happy to hear about serif and mo…

    I didn't know fonts can have options. Another learning curve on how to enable that in Latex/Html/Libreoffice/anywhere else I use fonts ^^'. But still helpful to know about! ss02 di…

    How would that help? It never says water, always steam, and it needs to get in all crevices evenly which afaik is easier with a gas than a liquid. If the steam condenses to water (…

    Non-native speaker here. I hadn't noticed there are two words for what seems like the same thing. Is there a difference between a water boiler and a water cooker?
