Oh yeah this one was really bad.

Both are a naked lunch level mindfuck. Don’t treat it as a book, but rather as a stream of consciousness on the acid trip. Don’t try to make any sense, just ride the wave.

Cemeteries

Not sure if best, but:

• cleaning the kitchen in the evening. I listen to podcasts or music while doing it, and the mornings are easier as I don’t have to confront mountains of dirty dishes.
• reading - I try to dedicate at least one hour a day and read a book. I guess with general decline of the content on the Internet it got much easier to go offline.
• meditation and relaxation techniques - I started doing this as a teenager and thanks to hours I’ve put in I have no problems falling asleep. Even when I am high on caffeine I can relax my body during the night and wake in the morning not feeling like a zombie.

I have Dynalink DL-WRX36, running openwrt since day 0. Iirc it was 60 euro year ago. Everything works, wireguard too. No complaints. I believe there is openwrt stable build for it already, though I an still running snapshot as I am too lazy to update.

They collect minor things like search terms and app usage info. The rest is stored on the server only if you explicitly upload a photo or a recorded track or something similar. No collection of location data or WiFi networks etc. The telemetry can be blocked of course if you have such setup (VPN+pihole for example)

Mapy.cz are the best maps available on desktop and android. They use OSM as a source. There is some tracking but in this case it’s worth the hassle.

In Berlin, in 2004, a letfist local newspaper Taz initiated a move to rename part of a street their office is located at in remembrance of Rudi-Dutschke. He was a prominent socialist activist in the 60s, even survived assassination but unfortunately died a couple of years later.

Another newspaper, Axel-Springer has their headquarters on the same street. The same company did play significant role in dissing the student movement Rudi-Dutschke was part of and some believe they are indirectly responsible for the assassination.

What ensued was a long legal battle, where the court had to decide whether the street could be renamed. Taz won the court case and in 2008 the street got its new name.

In 2009, Taz installed a sculpture displaying well-known editors of Bild (owned by Axel Springer), the most sold tabloid in Europe. Their chief editor Kai Diekmann (sic) sports an oversized dick that goes up to the roof of the building. Of course Bild tried to sue, but they lost and the sculpture is there to be enjoyed to this day.

In Germany, you can have fun, but it must be blessed by the court.

I use collectd and graphs on my openwrt router. It can even use data from mqtt-connected thermometers and gather metrics from other collectd instances.

Take some leftover rice from yesterday, or prepare some by steaming.

Heat a pan, drop a tablespoon of oil in. Fry any form of fresh garlic and ginger in it. Throw in the rice. Stir, mix, fry.

Then mix the soy sauce into the rice, mix. Start with smaller amount, you can add more later. Crack an egg or two and pour them in. Mix for a while until the eggs cook.

Top with a spring onion, Lao gan ma chilli crisp, sesame oil, sesame. Serve.

Most of the ingredients in the recipe are optional, you really just need the rice, soy sauce and eggs.

If you like porridges, try making some congee, it is easier if you have a rice cooker. The rest of the recipe is almost the same as with the fried rice above.

Gnome terminal, although I am on xfce. Easy to configure, has tabs and shortcuts. I am using terminal for 90 % of my work.

Don’t do it. Instead of doing something useful you will be in a constant process of updating and rebooting and dealing with breaking changes and eventually you will give up and switch back to Leap.

My first Linux distro was SuSE 7.x, just because we had an installation box in the high school library. 8 CDs to install packages from etc. Funny stuff.

Then I played with Gentoo & Debian for a couple of years, but went back to openSuSE once I started my first real job. We had to use it because we needed a Red Hat compatible and enterprise ready Linux. And I am using openSuSE to this day if I have a choice. Everything works, if I quickly need something YaST can configure a lot of shit and is just super user-friendly.

But I recommend Leap for day-to-day work, Tumbleweed with its rolling updates keeps updating almost 24/7.

i/o is shit on that thing. Syncing any reasonable amount of data is out of question.

I think you’ve just used a deprecated widget. I didn’t notice any incompatibility, maybe there’s some for beta widgets but otherwise all features I needed were there.

I use grafanalib. I have a script that generates the dashboards depending on given parameters, then I store generated JSON as a k8s configmap that’s mounted into the directory that’s checked by grafana on startup. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it is good enough for me.

Stop obsessing about Reddit and create a content on Lemmy instead. People will come once they see there’s enough activity here.

I used to buy a lot of things in AliExpress, but since they’ve changed their business it’s usually better to just order on Amazon.

The things on AliExpress used to be dirt cheap and it was a no brainer buying random electronics components in a pack of five for a price of one in the EU shop.

Or sometimes I was looking to some oddly specific item and I always found it on AliExpress. It’s no longer the case, it seems the search results are 10 products of 3 manufacturers that are essentially the same thing.

Only when googling stuff I sometime add site:reddit.com, but I am no longer browsing reddit on my phone. With the death of RIF and APIs I just can’t stomach looking at the page.

And good bless old.reddit redirector plugin.

vim, neovim and a bunch of plugins. It’s such a great productivity booster, I am using it daily for SW development.
