I use F4 and have a dedicated button for it nestled amongst my other modifier buttons.

Procmail isn't quite as dead as the article claims. I still use it with OpenSMTP on OpenBSD and am happy with it. https://github.com/BuGlessRB/procmail/releases/tag/v3.24

> What is your evidence for shorter lives promoting long-term thinking? I'm looking at it in the other direction; that long-term thinking might result in shorter lives.

I don't argue for a second that our birthrate isn't dropping; it is. But we either haven't dropped it enough, or it's being offset by higher consumption. The overshoot day is now t…

I'm very uneasy about us collectively seeking longer lifespans. Earth is already supporting more people than is sustainable. Living longer robs someone else of an opportunity to li…

I really must make one of these. My favourite game is Kaboom! which is completely unplayable without a paddle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaboom!_(video_game)

Actually, I take it back. As I said earlier, I mostly use vintage imperical hand tools. I've just been looking into modern metric tools and I'm finding that they're actually imperi…

Sorry, I didn't express that well. I guess in that specific case I would use a ruler. Normally I would take measurements from my pre-existing pieces instead of the ruler. It's more…

> What's wrong with 9.5 mm? As a number, well nothing. I'm not saying there are anything wrong with the numbers, I'm saying that with a standard set of imperial or metric tools, yo…

Dividing it by two gives you 3/8 rather than 9.5mm. Dividing it by 4 gives you 3/16 rather than 4.75mm. Both 3/8 and 3/16 are common sizes. You can drill holes cut grooves this siz…

You can skew the ruler so that it measures 102cm and mark off 34cm and 68cm. :)

I think that both metric and imperial systems are good for woodworking but I think you need to adapt the way you think of measurements depending on which you choose. I like that us…

I've been slowing learning the imperial measurement system and I would say that it's now natural to me in a very limited sense. I grew up in Australia using the metric system. As a…

I wonder if this could be used to launder money for a cost of $1 per month. :)

> I'm bored with the tech stuff but nobody has ever offered me any other kind of work. I recommend doing the work that you want (alongside your regular responsibilities) and if you…

It's documented in Underground[1] that Spafford was the target of some crackers, eager to get info on the latest security vulrabilities; information that was difficult to obtain in…

Today I learnt that salt raises the boiling temperature of water. I knew it lowered the freezing point but I never considered it might also change the boiling point.

I have arrow keys but don't use them. I tend to use ctrl-f and ctrl-b otherwise I have fn and h, j, f and l mapped to arrows. I've been using it this way for years and it works for…

I don't have or want a Google or Apple account. I use a de-googled android phone running Lineage with MicroG. I'm glad for Unified Push because it means i can now get instant messa…

Thanks. That clears it up a lot. I'll probably start hacking something in the next few days and see where it takes me. I've created an issue where you can track or discuss it furth…

> I'm a bit at a loss on how to install it ! If there is a release for your os/arch, then download the binary and put it in /usr/local/bin/jcb (you may need to chmod +x it). Otherw…

This has been a project I've been working on to learn Golang and nurses (which I eneded up replacing with cview). It's still young but I think it's ready for some uses. Please let …

I really like Coopers. It tastes great and is the only brand that isn't almost as expensive as regular beer. I'm resentful of how much profit there must since there isn't alcohol e…

As someone with moderate face-blindness, it would be true for me.

I chose a pedal based on the sound it produces not how it feels to use. I like the feel of the full buttons, but my board doesn't have any. Until now I've never even thought about …
