Thanks for sharing your experiences.

My psychiatrist advised against splitting vyvanse. The reason being that fillers are mixed into the capsule. Splitting the pill into two, for example, can give you the full dose in the first half and no dose in the second half.

Maybe shaking the bottle can account for that.

Bernie is one of the few politicians that have a voting record which aligns with their rhetoric, going back decades.

If the issue in the west is that voters don’t have visibility into the systems that cause their problems, what is the solution?

“People” being informed is quite different from an individual being informed. Presumably you were informed back then, yet here we are still.

I’ll take a look, thanks for suggesting it!

I’m getting back into it again after a long break due to burnout. I’m still burned out but it’s getting easier to think through problems.

I’m building a home server. This was something I put off for years due to some perfectionism. Eventually I just threw together something with old hardware and headless Ubuntu. Much to my surprise, the power draw is only about $4 a month. I can live with that so no need for specialized hardware.

I’m doing the common -arr stack using docker compose. I’m using plex because the jellyfin doesn’t work as well on an Apple TV.

Having a server running is nice. I can set up some stuff on a whim. Most recently was the Mealie recipe manager. It’s great knowing my data won’t be paywalled. I’m using syncthing as a simple backup method between my devices - everything but media of course. It’s fine if I lose media.

An unexpected benefit of having the server is that it inspires my wife. She decided to give vibe coding a try. She’s an artist, not an engineer, but with a little help she was able to make a task tracker for us. She tailored it to the way we tackle our tasks and, again, it’s really nice knowing it won’t get paywalled in the future.

I’m still burned out, but having a server to tinker with is helping.

That's a neat site but I'm stuck looking in from the outside. Can someone spare me an invite please? My email is in my about.

A friend’s parents were recently targeted by AI scammers that impersonated family members. This shocked me because her parents are pretty poor, and I imagine it’s not free to make targeted scams like this. So, why were they targeted?

My guess is that my friend is listed on a company website as an executive, and scammers are using company pages to find targets worth spending money on. Scams like these aren’t free, but they’re cheap enough to cast wide nets. The nets are only going to get wider as AI becomes cheaper and more available.

Security by obscurity, as effective as it was, is coming to an end. AI enables scammers to spear phish indiscriminately.

Do you have an example? I’ve done a slightly-more-than-casual search for convincing post-processing and haven’t found success. Filters still tend to retain the sharpness of pixel edges in a way that CRTs don’t, and the contrast doesn’t look right either.

Baking everyday as a way to keep a professional identity is an interesting idea. Being semi-retired, I’ve noticed that I am starting to struggle the curiosity and motivation that kept me going when I still worked. This article makes me think I should pick up a habit of doing some “work” daily.

Visual snow’s impact on my life is fairly small. Driving at night is a little tough. It’s hard to paint still life’s when the values are jittering. Reading text on a page gets tiring because the text wiggles slightly.

Spectacle for Mac and power toys for windows.

I’ve been using a single large monitor for a while and it’s been great with window managers. The biggest downside is when playing games full-screen.

That's impressive!
