Found this beauty at Value Village today, just thought it was kinda neat. No idea if it works, if it does I'm welcome to idea for projects and fun things to try.

Anyone who knows anything about it is welcome to come forth as well, I know nothing about Digilent or their products.

Good responses to my question: “How do computers handle the hour that happens twice during ‘Fall back’?”

I am not a programmer. Don’t know how to code. Too lazy to make iOS shortcuts…

I have a folder of plain text files, each with a list of hash tags. I needed a simple way to examine the .txt files and count the number of times each hashtag was used.

Tried Obsidian, but it means using .md and confines you to your vault.

Solution, I asked ChatGPT to make me an Apple Script to do this task for me. Magic!

I wish I could build a server/hedt in this case.

With the coming end of support of #Windows10 I would like to hear from people who recently (say < 3 years ago) moved from Windows (or MacOS) to Linux:
.1. which Linux distribution did you settle on?
.2. which are the main problems that you had "transitioning"?
.3. are you planning to keep using Linux for now?
.4. What are you missing in Linux that you had with your former OS?
.5. If you tried but did not keep using it - why?

I’ve reviewed the code running BlueSky and I can categorically state that 73% of the 1s suck and 56% of the 0s are actual bullshit.

Today I apparently "fixed" two computers (1 laptop, 1 desktop) by... opening them, hoovering a bit, and closing them back up 🤷
They literally went from not booting to being perfectly fine. Sometimes you don't need much to fix what looks like a desperate situation!
