I daily drive bith RDE/GNUguix (personal) and NixOS (with home manager) (work). Both work really well for my needs. Pros for guix: - guile scheme - better documentation - free soft…

It's not a free software license as it restricts freedom zero, the ability to use it for any purpose. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html#four-freedoms It's interesting bec…

You could probably use Shamir Secret Sharing so you'd need to have k out of n parts to recover the information. Downside is that this complicates what is supposed to be simple. edi…

I've had these symptoms my whole life (and still do), so it makes me wonder if already having chronic visual disturbances can play a role in developing or "preventing " [1] HPPD. […

Could this, however, be used to create random bit streams for use in one time pads? I'd imagine it could solve the problem of sharing the large keys beforehand since you could gene…
