I stream from Linux. I don’t stream anything about Linux, I just happen to stream while also using Linux… that being said it usually ends up being a handful of dedicated viewers so not super big or anything, but it’s still fun. :) OBS works just fine, game capture works, everything just seems to work!

I thought it sounded pretty silly, too. I gave the free trial a shot and for technical searches it was the best I had seen by far. Being able to lower certain sites and raise other sites makes it much easier to filter through shitty results like blog posts and stuff. I pay for it now and it’s worth it to me just for the time savings on technical searches. It definitely is still pretty far behind for things like local business info and stuff, but as a general purpose search engine it’s been extremely good for me.

You’re right about that for sure. But a few TB isn’t that big a deal anymore, and if there was a need to deal with it we could come up with something… or just not use it at all. 😎

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are pretty cool from just a technology perspective. At university I studied a lot of math and cryptography and that happened to be at the same time that Bitcoin became a thing. It could have some real applications, but scammers and cryptobros ruined it for everyone and now I can’t even say I find crypto (meaning cryptography) cool without seeming like an asshat.

It’s true forever. The Fibonacci sequence used in this way converges on the golden ratio, which is close to the conversion of km and mi.

Exactly! I always tell people this. I think a good gym is one of the most accepting and supportive places simply because every one of those huge muscular people started from the same place. Everyone understands the effort that needs to go into it and loves to see folks putting in that effort!

Yeah Relay was my preferred app and I’m super bummed it’s staying with Reddit. I’m using Liftoff which has some issues but works well. I’m looking forward to the first 1.0 releases of various apps still.
