this is an amazing resource: https://ca1lib.org/ probably sketchy legally, but I've only downloaded drm-free versions of books I've already bought. would love if I could buy drm-free books with lightning somehow.

slowly replacing my kindle library with pdfs and drm-free epubs. book positions is just zathura's history file saved in git.

is there a cli tool that generates random data from some simple grammar/dsl ?

quick git tip on reviewing merged and unmerged branches:

merged:

git log -p --reverse commit^-

unmerged:

git log -p --reverse ..commit

then you can do /^commit in less to jump through changes

one thing I'm thinking about is a "sticky" mode. where expand/shrinking timeblocks automatically push/pull adjacent events with it. maybe this should be the default 🤔

made it easier to push adjecent events down when extending a timeblock. dogfooding this heavily before I release it.

I was going to release this as a cross-platform tray app at one point but it's just terminal app for now:

has anyone else written a zoom link opener and have a hotkey to launch your standup with it or are you normal

moving events around in my timeblocking tool is fun. being able to push down a group of timeblocks at once is super userful when one of your timeblocks runs over time.

can't wait for the US/China bitcoin buy war

is representation theory used in cryptography at all? 🤔

worth it though there’s something really cool about learning the math of the universe

it wasn't too hard. I just use sed to add the header before passing it to msmtp:

I just setup my local sendmail/msmtp to add an X-Hashcash header. Hopefully spam daemons will be nicer to my mailserver now since I'm not using dkim? 😅

bitcoin taught me that something I believed in can be true even when the entire world said otherwise

Really enjoyed this read: Decoherence and the transition from quantum to classical https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0306072

"Thus it happens in matters of state; for knowing afar off the evils that are brewing, they are easily cured.But when, for want of such knowledge, they are allowed to grow until everyone can recognize them, there is no longer any remedy to be found."
