  • Happy Disconnection

    The US government has entered its fourth week of shutdown. A peace deal is being brokered in Gaza. Trends are flying across TikTok and Instagram at breakneck speed. And lately, I've felt rather disconnected from it all.

    I used to be glued to news and social media sites. I keep an RSS reader on my smartphone, and I would fill it with dozens of news feeds from all over the world. I scrolled Facebook and Twitter constantly, inundating my mind with nonstop information. Switching contexts from one post to another forced my mind to work twice as hard--and made it difficult for me to slow down my thoughts.

    In those days, while I did read some fascinating items of curio, much of what I was seeing made me very stressed. Wars, disasters, political upheaval, climate concerns, social issues, economic warnings, and horrendous crimes filled my feeds. The world seemed to be going to Hell in a handbasket, so to speak. All of that information weighed on me in ways I didn't expect: I slowly became a jaded, cynical person, desensitized to the stimuli that poured through my visual cortex.

    Design for 3D-Printing - this blog post is an incredible wealth of information for anyone designing or printing 3D printable parts, but it really appeals to the engineer with it's technical details and illustrations.

    • The actual root cause of yesterday's bug were laid over twenty years ago

      Yesterday, I found the root cause of a bug [1] but I did not go into details about how that bug slipped into production (so to speak). That's easy—the configuration of mod_blog [2] differ between my development server and public server.

    • The Uniques of My Fav Host Gemini & My Ideas

      I see the Hosts in Gemini are so Unique, After the Closing of Gemlog Blue, the Host "My Gemini Space" appeared which is almost identical, now I am comfortable using my 4 blog Hosts in Gemini, namely My Gemini Space, Flounder Online, Midnight Pub & Cities Yesterday Web, each of these web blog hosts has unique and interesting characteristic features.

      if in My Gemini Space we make the post really functioned to be read by visitors, l, with a one folder line format, meaning, your profile page and all your posts are only in one folder, unless you create a new folder. meaning there is no directory home for your folders, including the absence of a file upload feature in this host, what exists, you want to use one folder or create new folders, yes, they are still your folders, but there is still no single directory & file upload feature, which stores your folders.

      so in my opinion on this type of one folder line host, you create only one folder better, or two folders with your name by adding the number 1 or 2 behind the folders. This means the first folder can be for your profile page and main posts, and the second folder is specifically for your post timelines.
