Tips for falljng back to sleep
I wake up at 3am to 4am daily as a neighbor makes noise walking their dog. This cannot be helped. Once I am awake, my mind won’t stop going over details about everything from the mundane to the critical. Often, I am able to fall asleep again after three or more hours of wakefulness, but only minutes before I have to wake for...

YSK: Indeed and other job sites are saturated with scams
For the past two years, legitimate job postings on Indeed and Glassdoor have been replaced by scams. If you’re tricked, the scammers aren’t satisfied with your contact info in your CV, they reach out via email to request that you connect on an encrypted messenger app where they can privately scam you out of thousands in...
[Old 1997 story] The Greatest OS That (N)ever Was (www.wired.com)
How does this coverage hold up? It was a fun read from back in my highschool days, when I was still five years from trying Linux on my own AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz. It wasn’t until 2008 that I tried again and it stuck.

YouTube Ad-Blocker policy - Can it be explained by ad revenue numbers?
First, a disclaimer: I’m no expert, and I only know what is on these documents I linked.

Booting from M.2 on HP EB 840 G2
Anyone have experience getting an HP EliteBook 840 G2 to boot from M.2? There’s only one setting in BIOS to enable it, and it’s enabled by default. Latest BIOS update. It’s in the boot order. It’s even seen when pressing F9 for boot options. I see MX23 but no grub (under legacy) or EFI files found in the ESP partition...

Comment voting buttons too small
I’m enjoying my first month of Voyager app compared to Jerboa, but I have a few issues. I prefer a small phone (Pixel 3), but that means the separate up/down vote buttons on posts are a small target to hit. I often end up collapsing the comments instead of voting. I see the tendency for the community to respond with, “just...
