The Linux goal - is there a hard Oct. deadline, when you can't run Windows 10 anymore? I might have to adopt the same goal...or at least make my Windows machine my non-primary...
I've been thinking about doing some shorter digital detoxes, during the week. Like - a solid morning or afternoon/evening with no internet.
It definitely feels good to do a whole day, though. Actually I posted this in the evening - not quite a whole day.
The Hidden History of the Vonu Brotherhood
I couldn't find anything directly referencing this book, but there was a lot about the "vonu" lifestyle in this book, which is available on annas-archive.org
How to Start Your Own Country
How You Can Profit from the Coming Decline of the Nation State
By Erwin S. Strauss · 1984
A History of Subversive Thought
The only thing I found referencing this book was this snippet from the book Soviet Nuclear History, 1994. I found it via google books.
Ha ha! I actually use the browser extension that I vibe coded, to help with that. It makes me solve a little math problem, before I open a new tab. Helps a lot!

Interesting, thanks.
Does that one have the same issues as yewtu.be? In other words, YouTube is actively trying to shut it down, so it only works after multiple tries?
I just removed Youtube completely on my phone. That's possible with Graphene OS, not sure about stock android.
I've actually experimented a little with parental control. My conclusion is that it's deliberately made clunky and hard to use, to prevent parents from being able to easily use it.
Wow, really, the Tuttle Twins on public tv?
Very interesting. Though you have to wonder - why not just drop public TV?
With that recommendation, it's going on my list - I'm headed on a longer trip soon, and need lots of reading!
Very interesting.
This was fascinating - the origin of the word "currency"
The Word, Currency, is in common Use in the Plantations . . . and signifies Silver passing current either by Weight or Tale. The same Name is also applicable as well to Tobacco in Virginia, Sugars in the West Indies &c. Every thing at the Market-Rate may be called a Currency; more especially that most general Commodity, for which Contracts are usually made. And according to that Rule, Paper-Currency must signify certain Pieces of Paper, passing current in the Market as Money. (emphasis in original)
I definitely understand the frustration, in terms of close family members being really bad with money. And then, after a long chain of horrible decisions, asking for financial help.
But if it weren't for the whole "didn't save anything, spent way beyond my means, and MUST scramble for money now", I'd really admire the initiative someone in their 70's starting a business, or staying active and making money some other way.
So many people in their 70's (and 60's) are sitting around, not doing much, watching a lot of videos, or taking cruise after cruise (if they have money to spare). As for me, I want to be as busy as is compatible with happiness when I hit that age.
This is what I do - DIY hotel cooking kit - how to eat healthier when traveling
I don't know that I've ever had room service at all. It sounds like I've missed the chance to have decent room service.
Oh okay. I'm still learning my way around this whole thing, and need to figure out Cursor. Cursor will actually write out the files for you, correct? Do you have a paid subscription?
With AI prompting in the tool I'm using , it'll create the files, but you have to save them in the right location manually, and then also keep updating them manually, as you and the AI make changes.
Nice. And you created this just via prompting AI with Claude 4, nothing like Cursor or CoPilot? What is it written in?
Sounds interesting. How are you structuring it? Do you have a background in IT?
I almost put my original post in the DIY section. It feels more like a DIY project, than a dev project.
Don't most of them offer a free trial? Also, if you want to try out a bunch of different AI models, you can check out Pay Per Query - http://ppq.ai. Pay with lightning, and no login needed.
"whichever one I have the most experience with".
So - public education. Although the healthcare system runs a close second.
I absolutely agree with that. Don't want government to push me to commit suicide, but after a certain point, I do not want medical care - the mind of medical care that keeps you alive as a vegetable, in bed wearing diapers.
It's all about the hospitals making a huge chunk of money in those last months/years of life - it's not at all about making people's lives better.
