You could just use something like adguard to block DNS requests for telemetry endpoints.

Great, thanks for the info.

I really wanted something I could bring with me when working away from home without a multi-monitor setup.

The glasses I had were Viture, I remember now, they were very disappointing.

The quest is really affordable for this purpose, so I think I might try it.

It works with Linux as multiple monitors? The resolution is ok for reading code for long periods?

I bought some vr glasses a few years back but ended up returning them as there was no way you could code with them.

They weren't xreal, but a similar competitor, can't recall the name.

It's used in "How to win friends and influence people" if I recall correctly. A great book that everyone should read, just a shame about the title.

I've been meaning to reread it for a while.

I've started exporting my sleep data from Garmin connect. And my expenditure, weight, nutrition, from macrofactor.

I add them to a spreadsheet along with other metrics I've been collecting manually for a long time, like tape, caliper measurements etc.

I do it weekly and then ask Claude to analyse the sheet.

It's super manual but just once a week and it can be really helpful / spots insights I often miss like how sleep affected something etc.

I'm just a bit jaded from Claude's tone of voice, so it made me not want to read it.

I did skim over the important bits though.

Or Firefox containers.

Not sure how that partitions the files on disk though, would probably need some code changes to work with some kind of firejail setup.

I can confirm the ergobaby is great.

Though the memory of owning one and knowing about different brands of baby carriers feels like it belongs to another lifetime now.

I was hoping this was a play on Boards of Canada and I was not disappointed.

I was just listening this week after not having listened in some time, as it's the 30th anniversary of Hi Scores.

Yeah, my old kobo clara hd fits in my pocket, but it's not perfect, feels like it would get damaged.

I had been looking at the clara bw when I thought my hd was broken but managed to repair it.

Do you have the X4 or X3? I imagine with the small size it's barely a few sentences per page? Feels like it would be difficult to read comfortably. Maybe it's like reading one of those tiny bibles.

I'm not convinced on the price. It's about 75 euro delivered for me.

It's about half the price of a kobo Clara bw, which has much better specs, higher ppi, waterproof etc.

I am tempted though.

Where I live, an sms app is not very important. It's almost exclusively used for two factor authentication messages. Everyone uses WhatsApp, signal, telegram etc, even businesses and services.

So having a bare bones aosp messaging app was never an issue for me. Having said that, I find fossify messages pretty good.

Will try out the new GOS app too.

I'm reading the clockwork rocket at the moment. It's a little different but it's set in a universe where the laws of physics / behaviour of light seems to be different to our own.

On point 1, I was imagining that people would just think I was starting intently at a small phone.

Which is a little embarrassing to be so absorbed in a device.
