For ADHD, externalizing thought / basically everything can really help. Notepads and pens are always on, cheap and disposable. I try to use writing not for cataloging information b…

As I understand it, the amphetamines increase, not the release but, the utilisation of dopa / nora / seratonin. One thing to watch out for with them is their effect on your anxiety…

There is a big difference between note-taking and critical analysis by hand. I use pen and paper for organising thought and critically engaging with text I'm reading. Unequivocally…

Nothing that I know of has the same effect as medically prescribed stimulants. However, I've found consistently that high quality saffron (Affron TM) extract has a mild SSRI qualit…

This is how it appears to me also. I suspect by 'free', GNU licenses aren't really referring to user-freedom more so source-code-freedom. It all depends on the developer's objectiv…

I agree. I never found zsh inherently slow, but the reason I initially used it was to play with all the additional 'bloat' its ecosystem offered, so to speak. It was that experienc…

The ksh that ships with OpenBSD, it's available under Linux as loksh. I've never needed a tutorial as such, because found its man page to be well written and comprehensive. However…

I have experienced even longer with npm / Node.js autocompletion. The whole experience caused me to try different shells, I ended up on ksh for simplicity and comparative leanness,…

Thanks, that makes much more sense now. Appreciated.

I'm having trouble understanding how this could be so. If sedimentation gradually pushed the sea away from Ur, how could the sea level now also be higher? Wouldn't this imply that …

I admire Marc's enthusiastic bravery for putting both money and reputation on the line for what he evidently believes in. However, so far it seems that if Bitcoin, and its decentra…

It seems to me like there is a possible, albeit compromised, middle ground between highly centralised and the (in reality) partially centralised Mastodon model where users flock to…

I'm still not getting this application of it, is there a word-wizard willing to condescend us some further explanation? Pretty please ...

There's one important step missing from the guide, for newcomers to OpenBSD anyway: man afterboot

I've not experienced that problem. I'm uncertain how many Outlook inboxes I've mailed, but I have done so and they did work.

I found Migadu through a HN post like this and can't recommend them enough. It feels like having my own mail server without the headaches. The pricing model works for me and I find…

I'm actually kind of thankful for Ubuntu's move towards Snaps. Once I realised they were not for me I started distro hopping and ended learning far more day to day system administr…

True. However, my objective is to internalise the tooling that routinely use, the scope of systemd is beyond what I need. Also, I find constantly looking up unique directives fatig…

Don't we already have multiple, alternate systems that are significantly simpler? The primary reason why I don't use systemd at all, on any desktop or server I manage, is not that …
