"A team of international astronauts is sent on a dangerous mission to reignite the dying Sun with a nuclear fission bomb in 2057."
But that's not what this is about. This is creepy, in a Lovecraftian sense.
I just wish I had the self-awareness and self-control in these moments to choose being authentic. But, alas, I am not in charge. I'm Maggie Simpson pretending she's steering the car while Marge is actually in control. Honk honk
Yes. I have my Obsidian vaults in a synced folder. There's a subscription option available from Obsidian for $5 but Syncthing does this just fine. Plus I get a little version control benefit from Syncthing as well.
I use one vault for personal notes and another vault for TTRPG notes.
Easily one of the most integral and convenient pieces of software in my use. I've got six machines syncing up in various degrees: desktop, laptop, Android, ereader, media server, and laser controller.
It along with Tailscale are among first things I install. I'm hoping version 2.0 is as stable as 1 has been.
The only trouble I've ever had out of was when I was syncing something in my local cloud directory.
I assume this is going to arrive at the solution of "Upgrade to Gemini-supported devices today!" Yeah, no thanks.
I wish I could get Home Assistant working with my nest minis.
I'd be curious if there's a potential alternate diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Both ASD and ASPD have similar features. Might be worth checking into because they aren't handled the same way.
Damn it! My phone is fucking useless now. I can't even go a half a day. I was used to using adaptive charging overnight and that was enough. Now I can't listen to audio during work hours without the damn thing draining to battery saver within a few hours.
Guess I'll root and Graphene it.
Try as I may to avoid this absurd political reality I find myself in, I am continuously dumbfounded by these headlines. I have to check everytime if the post is an Onion article.

This one is a bit hard-won for me. You see I used to be an asshole. It was my brand. I thought "it's just in my nature".
Fortunately, I was also a student of religion (mostly because I was a militant atheist. Know your enemy and all that). Studying Buddhism, I began to observe the nature of self. I found enough distance from it to see its transient nature.
I realized being an asshole was a choice and I could just as easily choose otherwise. Soon I began to discover this was true of most character traits.
I'm not saying you don't have consistent patterns of behavior. I'll hopefully always be curious and analytical. But for the most part, the way you conduct yourself and where you focus your attention is a choice.
So, if you're not happy with who you are maybe don't be so attached to the idea of 'who you are". And if that seems hard, observe what you pay your attention to and try to find the distance between observation and behavior. In that gap lies the choice you make, consciously or not, to be "you".
