You may be fewer irritated by this with age

Misusing words like “setup” vs “set up”, or “login” vs “log in”. “Anytime” vs “any time” also steams my clams.

I use Fossil for all of my personal projects. Having a wiki and bug tracker built-in is really nice, and I like the way repositories sync. It’s perfect for small teams that want everything, but don’t want to rely on a host like GitHub or set up complicated software themselves.

I had this set up the day it was available in my area. Never got an alert. I find it difficult to believe I wasn’t “exposed” during the pandemic, so I assume this didn’t really provide much value.

Google cases always seem hit-or-miss. I just buy the same Spigen case for every phone. I know I like it.

This is a good reason to use Dvorak

Got it. So more for data at rest rather than handling the sending too?

SimpleX does file transfer pretty well, not sure about Briar now that I think about it.

Briar and SimpleX seemed decent the last time I looked into this.

• https://briarproject.org/

• https://simplex.chat/

I ended up using neither because I don’t need privacy when talking to myself.

I have all of my important electronics (computers, entertainment center, network equipment) on CP1500PFCLCD. They’re scattered around the house, so there are multiple CP1500PFCLCD.

…then there’s a 22 kW gas generator that handles everything once it switches on.

Looking good. Safari seems snappier.

I can recommend Kagi. Happy customer for over a year.

Some reading to get started:

The exchange rate is pretty good right now.

Did you just assume my ¥der?

I’ve been using it for about a year and a half, on the unlimited plan. I pay for the year up front for the discount. There’s no way I’m willingly going to stop using Kagi. I’m a developer and perform about 2500 searches a month.

The ability to adjust the ranking of domains and the lenses save me a ton of time. No other engine comes close to the productivity.

You can easily talk to the developers and founder, too. I’ve had many of my suggestions actually implemented. It’s great when you pay for the service and they are in it for you, not your data.

This is my favorite Star Trek episode, too. Ruined.

I agree – I feel like the slur filters make it harder to identify people who are racist/intolerant. Instead of saying the word, they find some other phrase or word that isn’t immediately obvious as being unacceptable. You end up arguing the nuance (did they intend it that way…) instead of going “ok, they obviously typed that word and know what it means”.
