I manage my podman containers the way the article describes using NixOS. I have a tmpfs root that gets blown away on every reboot. Deploys happen automatically when I push a commit.

Thanks for that. I thought my Vivoactive 4 battery was just shot so I bought a new watch since it was only lasting a few hours.

I keep waiting for the Apple Watch to last multiple days so I can leave Garmin.

The final cost of the bill matters more than anything. A server at a higher-end restaurant where the bills regularly exceed hundreds of dollars will earn more in tips serving fewer tables than a server that works at a cheaper casual-chain restaurant (IHOP, Applebees, etc).

This article highlights why Bambu has been eating Prusa's lunch the past few years. Imagine spending over $1000 then needing to print parts to get it to work properly.

I swapped my Ender5 for an X1C two years ago, and since then, I have only had to do whatever maintenance the X1C tells me. Using my X1C feels much closer to using my laser paper printer, whereas my Ender5 ended up being a hobby in itself.

At some point you'll want to upgrade the hugo generator, and then you'll need to wade through their release logs. I neglected my personal site for years and I had to hunt down various errors and deprecations. It's out of reach for non-developers to do. A 1.x compatibility promise would go a long way.

My wife's site runs on Squarespace, and she's been self-sufficient since it was set up.

Eno? Up until recently, that was the only way to generate virtual cards. It's a useful feature for retailers that are too small for me to trust their security. I guess I'll need to start using their website now that it is an option.

Those people aren’t enabling ADP to begin with.

The counterpoint is how many children would love their own stuffed Hobbes to be sitting next to them as their parents read a few comics to them.

You can merchandise things without going overboard and losing your soul.

That’s because all of those safety engineering improvements have caused the average cost of a vehicle to skyrocket.

We shouldn't even be doing that for cats.

Domestic cats are an invasive species that decimate the native wildlife. "free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually."[0]

Since we're talking about Florida, this is what their Fish & Game department has to say on the topic:

> * Domestic cats are not a part of Florida’s natural ecosystem. A single individual free-ranging cat may kill 100 or more birds and mammals per year. Scientists in Wisconsin estimate that cats kill at least 7.8 million birds per year in that state alone. Even cats with bells on their collars kill or injure birds and small mammals.

> * Cats compete with native wildlife and can spread disease. Outdoor cats have been identified as the primary host in the transmission of toxoplasmosis to wildlife, a disease which has caused death in manatees and other mammals.

Garmin's own product webpage highlights the biggest problem with Garmin.[0] They have too many options, with very little distinguishing features. Instead of making hardware to justify the number of models, they cripple watches in various ways using software.

For example, on my Vivoactive 4, recording a "Hike" activity is impossible. Instead, I have to record all my hikes as "Walks".

They should trim their offerings down to fewer than 10 models instead of the 28 currently listed.
