Renamable tabs?

That looks super interesting, congratulations. I would suggest you do write lots of documentation, a more elaborate readme on github and generally push your approach. As it stands, the repo looks somewhat unfinished and inactive, unlikely to make people spend their time and energy digging into it. I hope you drive it forward!

That looks perfect, thanks!

Almost all of them will have some difference. What is needed is to parse the previous state, calculate the difference in size, and show only the "significant" difference.

I often want to know who there is a sudden growth disk usage over the last month/week/etc, what suddenly take space. In those cases I find myself wishing that du and friends would cache their last few runs and would offer a diff against them, this easily listing the new disk eating files or directories. Could dut evolve to do something like that?

I wrote a cross platform outliner 20 years ago that I have been using almost everyday since. I have more than 60'000 headers in there, with my notes about everything.

Right now I'm building a flutter/kotlin meditation timer for myself.

Marcel the shell is surprisingly effective for that. It is python with seamless calling of external commands and piping:

    ls /home/jao | map (lambda f: (f, f.size))

You might not see any benefit, but that's what those words mean :) Grab any textbook, it is linguistics 101!

That's technically wrong. Every language has morphemes for the simple reason that every word is at least one morpheme. `cat` is a morpheme. `cats` is two morphemes (cat-s).

(The point about semantics is also technically wrong. You would first need to specify your view of semantic compositionality before such a point can be evaluated, but the usual views of semantics don't have any such consequence.)

The minimal semantic parts of words are morphemes. Syllables are phonological units (roughly: the minimal unit for rhythmic purposes such as stress, etc)

it only takes 3 lines in a systemd override fille (which I think don't suffer the overwrite-on-upgrade problem). To my mind, that keeps the startup logic nicely local in service files.

Beautifully said! However, in my experience, finding your own virtue requires interacting with others, and adjusting our view depending on how it went. Ie it takes both the grouping with others, and the inner quest.

And once you're grouped with others, why not interact also group to group, rather than just individual to individual, and profit from both higher order learning and influencing the world -- which I think is similar to what you describe as "power seeking aspects".

That said, the piece about finding "like-minded individuals" remains elusive, if one is serious about pursuing one's own values and way of being in the world.

Freeware versus open source is a good point. But freeware typically can't be modified by the recipient, whereas downloadable models and open source code can. So I think there's still a need for a different term, neither open source nor freeware...

You also need to change the boot behavior of sshd to wait for wireguard (tailscale in my case) to be available. I had to add a couple of lines to the ssh systemd unit.

This looks great - how do you then keep the subset that you want to continue listening to in the longer term? Is there an "extract to my music collection" feature - or is this your music repository?

This is fantastic, thank you so much. It reminds me of the Bernard Lenoir show on France Inter back in the days. Will be spending days digging this new treasure trove from Montreal :)

Funnily, before the "aphantasia" was a thing, I always thought that "not seeing things in my mind" and instead having just "vague geometrical images" was my superpower and maybe explained why it looks like I could think faster and more effortlessly than many of my peers during college and phd years. I thought maybe my brain didn't spend cycles on pictures and used them elsewhere. That idea was maybe influenced by vaguely recollecting (perhaps wrongly) an Einstein interview where he mentioned also having only vague geometrical images in his mind. When the term "aphantasia" was coined, I was really surprised that people with aphantasia started writing as if it was a handicap they had, as if they were diminished by lacked something that others have. Nowadays, it still trips me up a little to see it described as a 'condition', though I understand it and feel that it is probably a give and take - it is probably an enabler in some domains and a drag in others.

Being in that situation, two things that stand out are: when thinking about a topic, I do sometimes formulate my questions or hypotheses in internal words, but the "answers" come back in non verbal form: for instance I suddenly just "know" where the flaw in the argument is, or what (counter)example I need to think more about. The other striking fact is that when I am very emotional (eg angry), the internal monologue is suddenly very vivid :)

It's really hard to describe, and in my experience, people with mental images tend to have a hard time imagining it (and people with aphantasia seem to differ on how much they use an internal monologue, etc). In a nutshell, for me the directions either 'come out of nowhere' or there is a vague feeling of 'geometrical stuff happening somewhere in my brain, in a mostly non perceptible places'.

That sounds wonderful - any hint how to find/join that instance? (Searching for mastodon/pleroma FOSS instances doesn't return anything useful here.)

> it's becoming increasingly clear that any amount of alcohol consumption is carcinogenic due to the acetaldehyde it produces

That's also been my baseline wrt alcohol, but just today, this hit my newsfeed...:

Maybe you should call it "PRO" - Personal Relationship Organizer :) Or "Monica PRO".

What a beautiful and well-articulated comment! The issue of value-compatibility (cultural, social, psychological) for successful communication/relationship is immensely underestimated and there is therefore a huge lack of guidance and sensible warnings for a human starting their mating lives outside of circles perpetuating traditions. Many of us get eaten in that jungle and wake up mamed a couple of decades later... I hope your comment helps someone out there realize how important it is to spend energy on "finding your tribe" in order to "date your species" as Reid Mihalko puts it.
