I want to purge Spotify from my life, but it does a lot to turn me onto music.

First I start a playlist with a general vibe I’m looking for, then either go to playlist radio and add tracks I like that come up, or scroll down to suggested tracks and start adding them from there.

I also have a special playlist where every time I hear a tune and go “damn, that’s good”, regardless of genre, it gets added there. The suggested stuff for that one is pretty solid.

The custom auto-generated Discover Weekly and Release Radar playlists are really good for surprises too. And other people’s playlists can be really great.

For electronic music, I have a di.fm subscription, and listen to that a lot. Plenty of great stuff has come to me via Shazam from there

Docker Desktop isn’t needed on Linux. If you want a UI, try Portainer

I frequently watch videos of people from outside the US trying biscuits and gravy for the first time. Every one starts with “I’m not trying that disgusting slop” and ends with “I want to eat this every day for the rest of my life”

Random pic from the Internet for reference.

Violence

“I’m alright” seems like the universal way to say “I’m not alright”

I prefer metric for everything but indoor/outdoor temperature. Fahrenheit is based on human comfort ranges and feels more precise when used for that

By making it so that social media can’t harm anyone, not just kids.

My mom was a chef, and she taught me some absolute basics like how to hold a knife and a couple of recipes. She also told me that when learning, if I mess up it’s okay, but try to eat everything you make to learn to taste what went wrong.

I got really good after I started watching “Good Eats”, though.

Mine stopped working and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I switched back and forth between cloud and local models and at some point it just died.

All I know about ZFS is that there are weird patent or closed source encumbrances or something. I hear it’s good, and it seems popular, I just avoid proprietary Oracle products.

As for btrfs, the only thing that’s claimed to be unstable is raid 5 or 6. And people use it in production saying the claims are overblown. I don’t. I use it in raid1 mode. But raid1 in btrfs doesn’t require a bunch of matching drives. It lets you glom together a number of mismatched disks and just puts every block on more than one of them. So it’s a nice cross between a raid and LFS or JBOD.

Just btrfs.

A quart of water, about five to ten minutes before the desired event.

Writing tmux configs with nvim. Managing tmux configs with stow. Storing tmux configs with git. Running terraform and ansible to configure the git server with the tmux configs on it. SSH session to run monitoring utilities on the server that runs git to store my tmux configs. Running it all under tmux.

Dirt hole

Next I’d be pretty happy if EDM could stop sounding like pop music too

I think you said pliers weren’t doing the job. Grab them with vice grips (locking pliers) and use the claw side of a hammer to pull them off like a nail.

Same thing as personal carbon footprints. A meaningless change being pushed on individuals when their total contribution to the problem is a mere rounding error on the amount contributed by the big corporations

Bro was really into quadrants

In the US? Child labor.

Nope. I used the fact that it never really went on sale as an excuse to avoid it, which had saved me a half year or so of my life, I think.
