With ADHD and social anxiety, I’m more productive when the office is less social. I definitely got much more productive when I started working from home.

It doesn’t need it, it works totally fine without it.

(Also, FWIW, the toothbrush itself connects via Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi)

I decided to try Cursor today (first time using any coding assistant) to refactor my sloppy NixOS config, and I’m really impressed to far. My config is so much cleaner and very well documented. It even has automated backups, a README.md, and CHANGELOG.md now!

The cost has been ~$20 so far (I’m still tinkering with it).

ETA: I also use Arch NixOS btw

Edit 2: I asked it “how might I streamline my deployments a little?” It wrote some nicely polished scripts that use deploy-rs, and wrote some nice documentation for it.

The script didn’t work on first run, so I added the console output to the context and asked “what went wrong here?” It debugged and fixed the script, and updated the docs.

I think this has been the most frictionless NixOS experience I’ve had so far

Nah it was a while back. IIRC there were multiple sources, but I don’t remember any of them 🙃

Though, I don’t really remember the details either. Maybe it was OS specific? I know there was a dodgy FUSE implementation out there for macOS at some point, and Cryptomator mounts its local drive with FUSE. I use macOS and NixOS, so it coulda been that.

I’ve been trying Peergos lately, and I’m pretty happy with it so far.

Google’s nagging offers for free trials of Gemini made me realize that I was basically handing data over to an AI company 🤦🏻‍♂️ So I’ve been looking for an alternative too

I started to go down that path, but then I heard that there were problems with data corruption

Huh, yeah that is kinda weird. 🤔 If most cops and politicians are trying to kill most people, then there should be a lot of self-defense pleas flooding the courts…

I’m just an internet comment though, not a lawyer or whatever

I made a custom Linux image to run inside a web browser. No particular distro, just a Linux kernel (compiled with a custom configuration to produce a tiny binary), a shell, and a few small apps.

When reading from the filesystem, it made HTTP requests for each file (+ browser caching), so no need to load a disk image all at once. IIRC, I got the cold boot time down to <1 second (after assets were already cached from a previous load though).

I also got NixOS to run in the browser, but even after stripping out as much as possible, it was still really slow due to systemd. (I’m not a systemd hater, resources are just very limited when running this way.)

I used an x86 emulator called v86. It’s a very cool project 🙂

When I was young and dumb, I really tried to ignite gasoline with lit cigarettes, and it seemed impossible. The results would have been the same with water.

I’m sure it’s possible in just the right conditions, but it doesn’t seem easy.

Heh, remember bent pins?

Personally, my interest in language learning comes and goes. Doing the minimum to maintain a streak prevents me from forgetting too much before my interest returns.
