Let’s not be hasty.

Surely free-range, organic, gluten-free sand would be the bestest source material ever.

What’s up with the disembodied hand tucked up high on the right of that tall heap of grass?

Also a big fan of Obsidian!

For syncing, one option is to use syncthing.

I know someone (whose geek creds are admittedly well beyond mine) who is also a fan. He uses GitHub to sync his notes.

It might depends on the AI.

I can’t speak for Bard, but ChatGPT’s data isn’t any more recent than 2021. As it often reminds me.

You’re in luck:

It absolutely is.

If you recall from 9/11, many people made the decision to jump from those buildings, rather that get burned to death. And by “decision”, I mean something fundamentally primal, and not a rational human being weighing the odds.

The drive to survive is strong in us. Fire is I believe at the top of the hierarchy of motivators deeply woven into our brain to avoid.

As another poster said regarding this particular thread, those people very likely succumbed to smoke inhalation before being burned. Not a great comfort, but it sounds preferable to being conscious and aware when the fire closes in.

… I think it’s time to go look at videos of kittens and puppies now.

Random thought that’s totally pointless here:

If he took all of his weapons and all of his ammo to a shooting range, and if he prepped to the best of his ability before beginning, how long would it take for him to shoot off all 26,000 rounds, if he tried as hard as he could to fire them off as quickly as possible? By himself, with nobody else helping, just to be clear.

Feel free to throw out best case scenarios.

Classic :D

OT, but I die a little inside when I see some writing in a book. I’m sure in this case it was probably a student wanting to highlight, but still.

Posting this from S4L right now :)

Just noticed the notification about 15 mins ago.

As someone who has had to grind through heaps of logs over the years, from systems in various timezones, from products that disagreed on the ‘best’ datetime format, I’ve become a fan of adopting ISO 8601 as much as possible. For personal systems such as a laptop, that’s a different story. But if I’m spinning up an EC2 instance in us-west-2 or a VM in Central Europe, I avoid the whole “err, what TZ is this in, or should even be in?” decision-making process and just run with WHO CARES IT’S SET TO UTC NOW LET’S MOVE ON ALREADY 😀

And not that anyone here is likely to care, but here’s a quick shout out to lnav - The Logfile Navigator for grinding on system logs (for systems where something like Prometheus or whatever hasn’t been proactively set up).

Fwiw, it can be helpful to call out the date for such changes. Preferably in YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601).

While it’s helpful to link to an off-site timezone converter tool (thanks for that, btw), “today” can be a different date, depending on where in the world you are. For example, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
