  • Looking for good audiobook recommendations, with a strong preference for books read by their authors. What have you listened to recently that you recommend?

  • Like the “Browse for me” feature on Arc Search for iOS? You can use it on Arc desktop, too: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcBrowser/comments/1ag4897/comment/l23itr1/

  • Made a sandbox for the little guy!

  • Flashed my Flipper Zero with the Momentum firmware, and loaded UberGuidoZ’s files on it. Had trouble emulating my garage door opener, so I obviously have more to learn.

  • My Flipper Zero arrived. I welcome all advice 🙂

    Wifi devboard is still on its way. Thinking of using the Momentum firmware, but RogueMaster looks interesting.

  • This is great! I’ve stripping the DRM from my Audible collection using ffmpeg, so I’ll give Bound a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

  • Goldfinches are visiting the window feeder. So enjoyable to watch!

  • Four years ago, I would have rated Musk higher than Zuck. Now the opposite by a wide margin.

  • Idea to work on this weekend: Figure out how to create ZIM files and package my Archivebox URL archive as one for consumption via Kiwix.

  • I got email running on the tiny server in my basement!

  • After messing around with my metal detector, tape measure, and shovel, and staring intently at my survey for an hour, I still can’t find my property pins, so I think I’ll have the surveyor come out and mark the boundaries for me. That should have the added benefit of legitimacy in the eyes of my neighbors, one of whom will be unhappy when my new fence goes through some of her flower beds, which are technically on my property.

  • I’m a YIMBY (build more housing!) but nothing makes me closer to becoming a NIMBY than companies buying homes to turn into rentals, then immediately removing all of the trees and landscaping for “easier upkeep.”

  • Working from the back porch today and loving it 🌞

  • I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can buy new lids for your Pyrex. It took us 10 years to learn this 🤦

  • Having used a bunch of alternative browsers on iOS, I still find myself using Safari regularly because nothing else is as deeply embedded into the whole OS.

  • The updated version of the Sunday Scaries as a parent is when your child is sick on Sunday and you don’t know if they’ll be better tomorrow or you’re going to have to call off work.

  • Hot take on seed oils, sugar, and gluten: Yeah, probably not ideal for you, but our bodies are more resilient than folks give them credit for, and you’ll be fine if you consume these things.

  • Sazón’s secret is MSG. That is why it makes everything taste so good.

  • I updated the People and Blogs Reader with Tracy Durnell’s feed and recommendations from her PB interview. https://peopleandblogs.feedland.cloud
