No-cost theological and biblical studies resources
Many neurodivergent people find the topics of theology, biblical studies, studies of religions, philosophy, and ethics interesting, even if they do not necessarily believe in them uncritically. At the same time, they often find conventional schooling extremely challenging.
Here I have made a list of no-cost resources that offer college-level lectures and courses. They can be accessed from anywhere with an access to the Internet.

Hyprland is not terrible
A few months back I quietly started playing with Hyprland under Wayland. The note wasn’t public at the time, I was just capturing some snippets that I was using to customize.
Since then I’ve added hyprlock, briefly toyed with hyprpaper, but ended up dropping that in favor of just leaving the default wallpaper for now. I’m using hyprshot for screenshots, either for a selected area or whole windows. Oddly, Hyprland seems to have a builtin notification daemon of some sort, but I couldn’t figure out how to get it to actually work for anything outside of Hyprland, so I’m using Dunst still.
Despite that I would use a bar of some kind on some of my setups, I haven’t bothred. I liked having the bar to be able to tell things like the time or which desk I am on at a glance. But I commonly have a tmux session up with the date in its own pseudo bar. And it matters less what desk I am with my workflow now centered around doing my focused task in the magic workspace and any desk without content gets skipped in the quick switcher.

No Use for Betrusted
Earlier today I came across a link in Geminispace to the that led me to Precursor, the hardware component of the Betrusted project. Betrusted aims to build a device using open hardware and software that is secure, private and simple.^ The Precursor is available to purchase today and comes with features such as a FIDO2/U2F compatible password vault, a Matrix client, and an ephemeral storage area for transferring files to other devices.
