Very nice! I'd recommend that the landing page either shows an example right away (the Carl Sagan one is great) or make it more obvious to take a look at one first - took me a minu…

Impeccable timing, I finally got around to putting some old hardware to use and getting a home assistant instance (and jellyfin, and immich, and nextcloud, ...) set up over winter …

Congrats on the updates, TIL I've been using the original version for 4 years now!

While I'm able, I'd like to start converting some savings into tangible tools and things that have near and/or long term benefits. Things like power tools, a small solar backup pow…

That's a fair point! Fortunately, our company culture plays a big role here - unless folks truly don't want to take much time off, everyone seems to take about 6 weeks off. Some te…

My first job (2018) provided 2 weeks of PTO, with an increase to 3 weeks expected after _five_ years. Folks in the U.S. can't quite comprehend having more than that (or any at all,…

Neat! Pretty cool to see the traffic "snake away" right afterward. I was a few states over in Maine and can confirm it took nearly twice as long to get home afterward - I really no…

Any resources/examples you'd recommend for a Vue frontend w/django? I've been pretty firmly in backend land for a while and would to experiment with the other half of the puzzle!

As someone with moderate hearing loss in both ears since ~1st grade, I'm all for expanding access to hearing aids. It took changing doctors in high school to finally get a prescrip…

Thanks for the links. I have to say, getting hit with an ad right as ignition was about to take place really encapsulated the whole experience for me. What a (weird) time to be ali…

I need to vet existing USB-C hubs for the following application: USB-C Smartphone [ USB Hub ] USB-A -> USB-C Storage medium (2x) I need the (android) phone to be able to mount thes…

I'd push back on that a little bit. I grew up on a farm that's still operating today, and it truly is difficult to find people to work those jobs. The farm pays just as well as any…

Interesting...I've collected and read a lot of old Maine books over the last few years, and now I'm trying to remember if any of them mentioned this sort of behavior in passing. Th…

Interesting. Will take a look at the links, thanks for the info!

I'll look into it. Thanks for the link!

Good call, thanks for the clarification!

Yikes, I grew up in that area (on the U.S. side) and my neighbor down the street passed away from a disease related to mad cow disease about 10 years ago. The article lists mad cow…

I had never even heard of Angkor until I listened to this episode of the Fall of Civilizations podcast (I highly recommend it): https://youtu.be/ghmjIBD2Fd4 Resource management int…

Another great episode from Paul Cooper's "Fall of Civilizations" podcast

Seeing this made me wonder if the author pulled it from the song _or_ if the song/author pulled it from somewhere else. A quick search seems to indicate it's a Pinegrove original, …

> The Arctic has been warming at least twice as fast as the rest of the world for the last 30 years, an observation referred to as Arctic amplification. I didn't realize this (or a…

I agree, the pretending to be asleep part usually works for me too. But as soon as I realize it didn't work...then my mind takes off. Checking the doors and looking out the windows…

These seem great, I'll give them a try. Thank you!
