No paywall splash.

Vi vs EMACS jokes are well within grandpa territory now. Sorry.

I normally make a huge mess. I take everything out, clean it, and leave them in a pile in the middle of the room until the room is basically unusable. A true disaster. A disaster of such proportions that it makes me desperate to a point where it triggers an unrelenting hyperfocus that will not let go until everything is put away and organized. Then and only then will I remember to eat or sleep.

PS: Clean things as you take them out, not the other way around. Otherwise you’ll either put them away dirty or give up entirely, leaving a monster mess behind. If all you have to do is put away stuff, you can reach a state of flow and be done before it runs out.

RTFM

this joke is way older than HTML

Bullet Journal. It’s the only method that works with my ADHD and keeping it analog allows me to “other” the journal away from the clutter.

Thomas John Mueller

I believe that’s the name of the project. It’s early days and I can’t wait until it is properly developed.

Apple silicon is sick. I’m salivating for a Linux distro dedicated to Apple M chips.

That’s why I use Pop!_OS as my daily driver distro.

That is just dumb. Most devs in tech I know default to Macs as their dev boxes. Macs are also the defacto workhorse for music, video production.

If you want to say that Macs don’t make for good servers, I’ll give you that, but saying they aren’t tools is just ignorant.

Inaccurate.

If you’re a Linux user why wouldn’t you unlock MacOS’ potential by using the command line? MacOS is UNIX based, so you have access to its guts, just as you would any other UNIX based system.

Standard Notes. You can even self host.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

If that’s how that community works, I might have to switch to Ubuntu.

I’ve been meaning to switch from Tailscale to Headscale but I have been to busy. Do you have any instructions, write-ups/walk-thrus you could recommend to set this up? I have three sites with 1GB internet I can use. One has a whole house UPS but dynamic IP, another has a static IP but no UPS, and the third is Google fiber with no UPS, but I can use the app to get the current IP anytime. I also own a number of domain names I could use.

I thought about getting an M4 MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles for that same reason but I just don’t need it.

You can self host a lot on something like that.

The one place I see a huge leap is in MacBooks. The capabilities of a 2015 Intel based MBP are laughable when compared to an M4 based 2025 MBP. I use an MBP for my music production and I just cannot make it choke, no matter what I throw at it.

I remember when a ten year old laptop was just trash, unable to even boot a modern OS. Current hardware capacity exceeds our actual demand by so much that a ten year old computer is still adequate for most users (assuming you aren’t on Windows).

My 8 year old 1080ti graphics card can run most games perfectly fine on a 1080p/60 screen (still the most common spec budget monitor). I would not be surprised if it that PC hits 10+ years of gaming without a real need for upgrade.
