there's so much room for activities!

Am in a beautiful national park right now, drinking with elks, but the lack of strong internet makes me nervous :(

Finally got my 3d printer setup for the first time since moving back onto the land. Man I love Prusa. Their stuff just works.

Hi all, this is my first introduction to textlog, stumbled upon it whilst browsing Fdroid. What do you like to do on here?

replied to:

I like to write whatever's on my mind, or questions on the rare occasion!

Or, as I've seen, budgeting for a certain item?

For , the tension between & to eat healthy is an interesting problem. If you don't have time, it is difficult:

to learn to cook,
to source real food,
and cook real food

If you don't have money, it's difficult:

to afford real food
or solve one of the time problems above

replied to:

Yea, aside from the money, sourcing is a big problem, one thing I noticed when trying to at some point was that there are zero vegan snacks in ordinary neighbourhood stores, so that didn’t last very long.

replied to:

Choice is definitely a problem. We notice it when we go to our cabin, about a 2 1/2 hour drive away. The grocery store there targets for its local community. It is beef-centric and often boxed foods -- which is not our diet. Access -- or lack thereof -- is the worst kind of problem. illustrate the historical and complex nature.

Coming from HN to post that I've been using Argon all week and it's the first Gemini model I've stuck with for more than a few minutes. It's very good for what I do and it's so nice to read back another style of voice.

I hate it when I don’t remember if I took my midday pill or not. Not that it matters a lot, but still, annoying. I have notifications set up but I discard them by habit because they are exact times and my sleep pattern fluctuates.

replied to:

I once saw someone flip their pill bottle upside down after taking a pill. Not sure it'd help me, because I suspect that somehow I'd still only pay half-attention when taking pills and so still get forgetful and confused :shrug:

replied to:

It actually works!

Finished, well you never really finish, setting up fedora + i3 on my ThinkPad X280. Such a lovely form-factor, & the full-screen/tiling approach for the 12.3" display works like a dream.

Don’t be beholden to one LLM basket. Get yourself an Openrouter account, get yourself an open source harness like pi and get yourself educated. I will die on this hill.

replied to:

I agree with this. I already use different models for different tasks in part for this reason. Never bothered with an OpenRouter account though, I just have accounts set with each provider. And Pi is excellent. I actually find it much better than Claude Code.

I like this.

Longer answer: My editor does not start wars. I use whatever is convenient. Most of the time I am on visual studio code but I'll use anything. Well, anything except emacs I guess. I don't think I have ever actually used emacs.
