This sounds like a great idea. I would suggest doing also other things that simulate the brain in other ways, like listening to music (or even playing an instrument), visual stimuli (art, nature), physical motion and coordination activities (dance, sports). You may well already do these things, I just felt I should mention it since our culture is so prone to associating brain with mental logic specifically and forgeting how much these other things involve the brain.

Learning a language is another thing with really strong evidence for brain development /preservation.

I have no idea about Navidrome, but I completely agree with the gist of this article. Actively choose the music you listen to. When the music you’ve chosen has run out, if you’re not motivated to make another choice, let the music stop and enjoy quiet for a while.

I use POPFile, open source software that classifies email into whatever categories you set up using a Bayesian algorithm (so you train it). It works as a proxy so it does it when your download email, so not a solution to your inbox filling up unless your can figure out how to run it on the server automatically.

It tags the email with a header and I use Thunderbird filters to move mail to folders for spam, adverts, political spam, and regular inbox.

It’s abandonware but it still works and doesn’t really need any more features IMO.

Homesteading is a much more apt analog then prepper. We are digital homesteaders.

Give each person a folder in which to stick whatever loose sheets they are currently working with. Keep these folders plus whatever music books are relevant on a shelf. Tell each person to put their shit away when they are done.

There can be another folder for sheets people fail to put away. Your wife can just stick everything left out into this folder when stuff gets left out and she gets annoyed. People will learn they have to look through all the shit in this folder to find their stuff if they leave their stuff out.

This isn’t FOSS but it makes a case for making an effort to do good https://www.allsides.com/about

I’ve never used it, but one should also ask a what kind of 90 degree rotation does it do. Good image editors can do lossless 90 degree JPEG rotation, meaning they don’t compound the JPEG lossiness and potential artifacts every time.

I wonder if making another browser spoof being Opera would work too.

A few months ago, eh? I know nothing about and have no opinion on Plebbit. But shit takes time, especially open source volunteer efforts.

People think are a lot more rational than they really are. We are wired to very easily start responding something as if it were a living being, develop a relationship with it, start caring about it. We do this with fictional characters, dolls, stuffed animals, etc. , nevermind something designed to mimic one convincingly in real time.

No, really? Reading a document like means you have to believe one of two things: either there is a massive collusion and conspiracy between a ton of different groups against this individual, with a lot of bad actors, or this is a very troubled individual giving a very distorted and paranoid portrayal of what is going on, someone whose behaviors constantly create conflict.

I know nothing about this individual, this app, or any of the history here, but that is the choice I get from reading this, and one of those two options should seem pretty obviously a lot more probable.

Please don’t use url shorteners, this hides any information the url gives you about where it is taking you. Also most things on the internet support the concept of a link where the url is hidden behind friendly text but still inspectable without clicking by mousing over it.

I love this so much. When I first switched to Linux, being able to just list a bunch of server aliases along with the private key references in my .ssh/config made my life SO much easier then the redundantly maintained and hard to manage putty and winscp configurations in Windows.

Since OpenSSH version 9.0, so like mid '22. So as long as you’re not running something more out of date than that.

SCP, the protocol, is deprecated. scp, the command, just uses the SFTP protocol these days. I find its syntax convenient.

Dolphin?

The readme doesnt ever explain what a smart playlist is. Is this a term that most people know that i’m just out of loop on?

That many donuts would be better for me because if you gave me 17 of those donuts I certainly wouldn’t eat all of them. I think I’d be done around 3. I’d probably just keep sipping on that coffee until it was gone though.
