Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Not OP, but thanks for the comment! In my research for cleaner indoor air custom fan-mounted purifiers came up as a cheaper and much more effective alternative to commercial air purifiers, but I haven't seen the Airfanta before.

Regarding humidifiers, do you have any links for further reading on the pollution aspect? I assumed that the distilled water ones wouldn't pollute the air, but I'm now realising I haven't actually checked.

I guess that most of the humidifiers sold on e.g. Amazon are the types you mentioned, do you have any recommendations in terms of brands/models?

This looks fantastic, I was recently disappointed to learn that there don't seem to be any good KVMs under ~$200, that support anything higher than 4k@60Hz.

Apparently Thunderbolt/DisplayPort are not really a thing yet for some reason, so I ended up getting a USB (KM) switch instead. With this project, it looks like I'll be able to have my cake and eat it too.

I have been using Blinkist on a daily basis for the past few months.

I'm pretty satisfied with the subscription as it's a great time-saver, in 15mins I either find out that:

- the book is not worth spending hours of actual reading

- I enjoy the summary and it makes me want to read the whole book

- or I like the summary, copy the highlights into personal notes, and carry on

Real people are both reading and summarizing the books, so it's much higher quality than the automatic shorteners.

There's "Learn You Some Erlang for great good!" (http://learnyousomeerlang.com/), which is a great (the best?) resource for learning Erlang.

i3wm is a pretty popular tiling window manager which supports what parent described - you can set a window to "float" (so it doesn't tile, you can move around it like in a regular wm) and you can also set it to be "sticky" (so it stays visible even if you switch to a different workspace).
