UniGetUI is better

This is awesome! Will use this next time I run out of my bulk powder. One of which I didn't see on there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MAK59O

Are there any project-based up-to-date guides to Agentic coding w/ VS Code? Including all the latest features they keep adding from Cursor and other IDEs. Since we can just bring our own free models there.

I think F-Droid will have to go the ADB route, maybe have a desktop interface to wirelessly ADB install APKs to your devices... could be an awesome way to manage apps on multiple devices! I currently have a powershell script to do all that myself.

There's a few on F-droid. Soothing Noise Player seemed interesting. I'm sure there's a bunch more on Google Play.

Yeah I think ADB based solutions will be the way to bypass Google's Play store app developer registration and app ID registration crap that will kill F-Droid. Even now I grab a bunch of APKs and then have a script that wirelessly updates my devices... F-Droid ADB mode!

I don't have a homebrew server for all the coolest open-source apps or a device to wake it up but it would be awesome if someone had a guide for dummies, including what to buy while keeping things relatively future-proof.

So what's the best portable emulation device that connects to HDMI too?

Look forward to testing the Windows version. Hope it has ability to also upload recordings, etc. Meetily is nice but setup feels too convoluted, with a backend and frontend being required to separately install...

Surprised Sidebery isn't mentioned even more. It's the main reason I switched, being the tab hoarding organizer I am, though I love all the other features he mentioned.

Wallabag seems to be the best especially since its KOReader compatible. I still haven't migrated though to self-host the server...

I wonder how LM Studio and AnythingLLM contrasts especially in upcoming months... I like AnythingLLM's workflow editor. I'd like something to grow into for my doc-heavy job. Don't want to be installing and trying both.

New comment by b0dhimind in "Caffeine induces age-dependent brain complexity and criticality during sleep"

b0dhimind — Fri, 30 May 2025 19:55:25 +0000

200mg caffeine is kind of a lot for me. I've dialed it down to one diluted cup (~80mg) 6 days of the week mixed with MCT, ghee, etc. I've tried bumping it to 200mg and can definitely feel slightly increased alertness late at night, even if I have it before 2pm. Gonna definitely try to have it all by noon now... since half-life is 12 hours and I sleep 10ish...

Not "cleared"... 12 hours is just the half-life. Hence the minor sleep disturbance even with such a delay. However, the benefits of a healthy cup outweigh the negligible sleep brainwave issue especially if properly relaxed.

Found UniGetUI and it does a great job calling WinGet, Scoop, and a buncha others with an ignore list as well! Windows will never have that level of customizability.

There was a study showing that memory and recall improved when people were encouraged to take pictures. I feel the same. I need to get organized with photos and videos though and thus I hardly take pictures and life feels a blur.
