I've also been enjoying Dungeon Crawler Carl like many here. To scratch my neuroscience itch, I recently read:

Rethinking Consciousness: A Scientific Theory of Subjective Experience by Michael S. A. Graziano (https://link.amazon/B0fbKBxEU)

The World Behind the World: Consciousness, Free Will, and the Limits of Science by Erik Hoel (https://link.amazon/B05TPjEY6)

Greatly enjoyed both. Made me think about the thinking-machines future and our ever-increasing understanding of the human brain.

If he was using Ubiquiti instead of Blink, then it'd be a straight line Ubiquiti -> Home Assistant instead of the Alexa -> SmartThings -> VPS jumps.

I got the smaller K7 gen2 with their now-discontinued clicky blues and love it; really like the very light activation force.

Here's what I added to uBlock:

Yup, here's a timestamp to the intro video where the author says it was "made for termux, born in termux": https://youtu.be/15_-hgsX2V0?t=889

My self driving Tesla does better than most Tiktok-brained drivers. I know because I'm watching, just like the car. Two is better than one and I enjoy it thoroughly.

In addition to musicforprogramming episodes, Colours of Ektoplazm is a 5 hour mix of goodness (great for focusing on a plane): https://ektoplazm.com/free-music/dj-basilisk-the-colours-of-...

3Blue1Brown's youtube channel has a lot of visualizations that may help. Transformers are video #6 in his neural networks playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDNU6R1_6700...

I spent a whole weekend on my Vaio trying Linux distros for the first time, same dealbreaker as you, until I discovered that same magic feeling on first Ubuntu boot as well. Super cool to hear such a similar journey.

The surfels and isolines examples were great, reminded me of reticulating splines! [1]

Hold down the spacebar and let the enemies run in front of you. Might take two tries. No movement needed.

I've been happy enough with Microsoft Terminal instead of PuTTY (and I appreciate the open source github repo). If you're comfortable with editing JSON files, you can save the SSH connections as profiles so you can click to open a new tab to whatever SSH session (or WSL setup, or Powershell setup) you want.

I dislike ads even more than slop. Ads drove me to change stations to music I didn't care for and listen to the same CDs more times than I would have otherwise. Ads made broadcast radio unplayable as interaction-free background music.

Happy to join team meetups in person (e.g. quarterly events).

Duckduckgo (uses Apple Maps) works just fine. Search for bakeries and observe every listing has a closing time or notes they're already closed. Bing maps works just fine. Search for bakeries and select "late lunch" in the hours dropdown.

I've greatly enjoyed https://musicforprogramming.net/ since it's so easy to access, has free downloads, and a web player.

For folks wanting to use i3 in their Ubuntu environment, I'd highly recommend https://regolith-desktop.com/! It solved many of my own problems with wanting an i3 setup that "just works" without installing a different distro, plus has lots of nifty options and themes.

Home Assistant can cast dashboard/media/etc to your display, has shopping lists, and has voice assistance. https://www.home-assistant.io/

Even better, thank you!

I use `my_object.methods.sort - Object.methods` to help reduce the methods I need to consider.

I love the Surface tablets! Runs Windows, Linux (WSL), and Android (WSA) so covers almost any use-case I'd need. Stick to the ones with Intel processors for maximum compatibility.
