I'm one of those guys who doesn't even merge. I use rebase for everything. Rebase -i is really powerful. One command to remember to rewrite a message, squash commits, delete commits, etc.
For years, the only time I hear about Osprey aircraft is when they're going down with all hands.
Of course The Guardian leads with Elon's grievances.
I had a knack for computers. I wanted a degree that would keep me from being poor. I don't like programming but I do it for money.
too many trees of heaven
There's one where a guy sticks his arm in a blood pressure monitor and then zombies rip his arm off his body while it's still in there and it reads 0 over 0.
I make steel cut oats in a rice cooker with a timer, so I can put the oats and water in the night before. I've pre-mixed the spices, peanut powder, flax powder. I throw nuts and raisins in when I mix it all together in the morning. For spices it's cocoa, tiny bit of cloves, tiny bit of cinnamon, tiny bit of ginger, pinch of salt.
In many ways I was addicted to Reddit. I spent a lot of time on there. I needed an excuse to go cold turkey. I will go occasionally for specific information, but I've completely moved my idle doomscrolling to lemmy instances. There's less content so it takes less time, which is good in a way.
I pay a little to pirate. Basically I've figured out how to download a large percentage of lossless songs from playlists I find anywhere. I scrape playlists of radio stations i like. I import those CSVs into Soundiiz, which costs $4/mo. Youtube mixes I like, in they go the same way, imoporting tracklists. Using Soundiiz, I import those lists into qobuz and deezer, which I use to pull down lossless FLACs using deemix and qobuz-dl in linux. Qobuz and Deezer and other streaming services have curated playlists by staff and subscribers, I just download the whole lists. I replaced lists of my mp3s like youtube rips, with FLACs, the same way. Qobuz and Deezer have free trial memberships but TBH after the sheer amount I've pulled down from them, it's worth it to me. I've had to buy new hard drives because of this.
The one-button interface for devices. I feel like I'm keying in an old-timey marconi telegraph, sending across the Morse code for "power off".
Logitech Media Server, followed by strawberry, quod libet, rhythmbox
Quod libet starts to act funny with 50,000 flac collections. Rhythmbox too. LMS is still chugging at 100k and I can get it on any room in the house, across 2 clients on computers, 2 on raspberry pi and my android phone. If I want to listen to 24/96+, Strawberry can handle it all although I haven't warmed up to the interface. Volumio sucks, it's way too slow.
