18650s, but the laptops refuse to charge the batteries, so the BMS might be toast already.

Tidying up, journalling, writing, or art. Though nothing on a screen and nothing related to eating to avoid brushing my teeth again.

Indeed, I have the means and curiosity to try out biphasic sleeping. Only things that keep me back are having two alarms a night (at least while I’m not used to it) and the fear I’ll get too worked up to fall asleep again.

Sometimes I’ll wake up at 0300 and contemplate trying biphasic sleep. But I fall back asleep before I can muster the courage to get out of bed.

I made a 1:3 peroxide to water mixture in my watering can and in about a month, the fungus gnats were gone for good with no apparent harm to my plant.

Aw man, I was about to praise the first two.

I’ve sketched out ideas for something like the MNT Reform, but with a Framework motherboard, and it’s surprisingly hard to whittle down the form factor any more without sacrificing unique and useful features, like the user-replaceable battery cells and modular mechanical keyboard. Those were the main attractions for me, and it is indeed very weak hardware for the price. Tallying up the component prices, it’s about as good as it gets without economies of scale while insisting on libre firmware.

No, but I do try to keep prep and cleanup times to under 1 hour for breakfast and lunch combined and 1 hour for dinner.

Librewolf, Ungoogled Chromium flatpak for anything that doesn’t work in Librewolf, and Fennec on Android

Those hinges must have been mighty strong. Or was there something to prop up the 6 screens?

If only I had the courage to tell my roommate

Indeed. I have everything encrypted, but it’s still a waste of P/E cycles, especially when combining large quantities of RAM with QLC flash SSDs.

No, just eyeballing it, the decorations just need to look good

Low-profile noise-cancelling earbuds. Lived with a snoring roommate for some months, don’t know how I would’ve slept without those.

genuinely curious, do most people fold shirts so the front ends up inside? I pretty much just copied the way they fold them at stores so the front is on display

Meh. I’d try it but I don’t think I would especially enjoy it over any other burger. But I won’t judge anyone who likes it.

Indoor lighting with sunglasses on is too dim for my tastes. Alternatively, my shades might be too dark. I’ll put them in my bag or on the brim of my hat, if one or the other are available.

S3 sleep powers down all major components except for RAM. Modern sleep also keeps the CPU and network up, albeit in a low power state. It’s not always executed well, hence the reports of laptops cooking themselves in a bag or draining overnight despite being “in sleep mode”.

• Light and dark modes with nothing in between. Platinum from MacOS and the default look from Windows 95 were crisp and bright without burning out your eyeballs.
• Wasted screen space. People laugh at Japanese websites for looking too busy, but I’d much rather deal with that than scroll for ages or look for links buried 3 levels deep in a hamburger menu.
• The idea that everything needs a backlit color LCD screen.
• Modern standby on laptops. Sure I could just hibernate it, but that’s very inelegant when S3 sleep was perfectly fine before.
• Glued-together electronics.

I had a fine time at the DDR museum a few years ago, but I might just be an ignorant foreigner. What makes it a bad choice?
