A Different Way of Measuring Time: Metric Time
  • Maybe I'm not understanding this right. A quick google search shows that there is 86 400 seconds in a day. With metric time, an hour is 10 000 seconds. That means that a day would be 8.6 hours, but on this clock it's 10? How does that work?

    Synthetic / isolated medications are safer than natural ones
  • I was more talking about "normal" herbal tea like lemon, camomille, mint... My go to when i'm sick is ginger/lemon herbal tea. I wasnt really talking about weird understudied herbs, that can be more of a problem than a solution for sure.

    Synthetic / isolated medications are safer than natural ones
  • I agree for most things with some exceptions. For example, when you have a flu/cold taking some herbel tea, citrus and honey are good natural remedies that help manage symptoms.

    It's often better to do that than taking medication that suppress symptoms. Those symptoms (particularly fever when in acceptable levels) are your immune system working to kill the virus.

    But in general replacing medication with natural alternatives is just a bad idea imo.

    What's something you did or acquired that made your life way easier?
  • A lot of things could go there i guess haha, here's some things I'm thinking of at this moment:

    1. a dishwasher. I will never go back this is the best invention humans created since the wheel
    2. AC. Same as above it changed my life
    3. keybar. This is a nice tool to manage keys and some other tools in a swiss-army like format.
    4. a good usb-c docking station. I need to jungle between multiple laptops for work, this really helped doing that.
    5. Going full public transit, bike and carsharing (communauto). Less traffic, and between these options it's rarely more difficult than a car. And muchhhh cheaper, with gas, maintenance, taxes and depreciation it's a bit crazy how much you put towards a car. It really helps to live comfortably with my budget.

    Mint is up and running!
  • Was more thinking about running games in sandboxes, other than the overhead i could see some games not being happy with that

    What open-source software would you like more people to know about?
  • I just tried because you made me doubt, but you can access your passwords offline with bitwarden. Your argument about trusting a third party is far more pertinent, i'm choosing to trust them but thats really my choice. It is also a limited trust: even in a case of a data breach, bitwarden is encrypted end-to-end with your password, even if someone gets access to your data they wont be able to read it without your master key.

  • I've playing a bit with openSLO in past few weeks. Really interesting stuff when applied to the development pipeline. I tought I'd share my perspective on this in a small blog post.
