Not necessarily, with “genetic drift” random phenotypic changes can happen that have a neutral effect on fitness. So if they don’t need side-facing eyes, then this can just happen randomly. Especially if the sideways eyes are in some way “costly” to maintain

I moved over to actualbudget! It’s way more intuitive to me and the the simplefin integration my bank transactions are automatically imported

This is what Sinclair Lewis’ It Can’t Happen Here is about. A book about the rise of fascism in the US written in 1935.

Over the years i have settled on zotero with th webdav backup to a self-hosted nextcloud server. Works great. Recently i started using the bookmark manager Hoarder and save articles i find there until i read them. My workflow is

• get google scholar alerts sent to RSS feed (locally hosted freshrss)
• save articles in Hoarder that i intend to read
• when i have time, read articles in Hoarder, add the citation to zotero, take notes in Obsidian on the article and link it to the zotero item using the Zotero plugin, and then also move the article to a ‘already read’ list in Hoarder.

Kinda complicated but it’s been working!

2 years out and still working on this in therapy

A joke i’ve heard among systematists is that there are lumpers, splitters, and then paleoanthropologists

Does anyone else just shuffle them around every few months to a new place, just to feel productive? I had them in a bookmarks folder for a while, then saved in a desktop folder, and just last week i consolidated them in a LinkWarden repo

We have very little say in how our government works. Over the course of US history the material decisions have been whisked away to less democratic structures (eg the supreme court, the federal reserve). Even early on the democracy was built for property owners (owners of people and land). People are feeling disenfranchised and the vote for trump is a (petulant) vote to flip the gameboard. Of course voting for trump is one of the worst things you can do if you want you and your community’s lives to improve, but the fundamental motivation is disenfranchisement and anger

This mobile app is not associated with the current open source project. Like i think it’s a vestige from before they went open source. They recommend using actual in your mobile browser for now, which works decently well

He was gonna say he fed the fries to a house sparrow and the guy waiting around the corner was going to harass him for feeding an invasive species. I guess the joke is that the author sees humans as the most invasive species (which, as an aside, is a bad take when you think about indigenous peoples of our species)

Sweet! Does it sync to mobile? I’m on ios, and haven’t looked into syncthing

I have been using obsidian for the past few months and i really enjoy it. It’s not open source, but you can self-host a not syncing service called Obsidian LiveSync that I use to sync between my computers and phone

Literally did this this morning and now searx is the default search engine on all my devices. Works great so far

At your recommendation, this is what I’ve been trying for the last week. I favorited all my artists, and I have to say that it’s working pretty well! I feel that my music library is much more intimate now. I’ll keep ‘testing’ it for a while longer but this might be my solution. Thanks!

Thank you! If I can’t find a way to figure it out in navidrome I’ll consider giving jellyfin a try, since I already use it for my visual media

I use obsidian with obsidian-livesync for selfhosting the notes. Works pretty well across linux, macos, ios so far

So for this, would i make another zfs pool on my remote backup server that is not snapshotted? Like, the problem i have is that i have snapshotting via rsync, but then the whole remote server zfs pool is further snapshotted so there’s a lot of redundancy.

This is fantastically helpful, thank you. I will do this.

I don’t know why I thought sending zfs snapshots was the better option

Yeah i think you have a point but I also think humans were moral agents and ascribed value to each other and their environment long long before the advent of science
