I'm also a navidrome user and I run it via docker exposed via traefik so I can access my music anywhere. I can use any subsonic client on android or iOS and I can bluetooth that to my car or headphones or whatever and I can load it up on my laptop anywhere.

As you've said you just want a local application just wanted to mention that in case that's actually something that might also be useful for you.

I've also been a long time airsonic (and now airsonic-advanced) user for so long I can't even remember, but a couple years ago I switched to navidrome which is also subsonic compatible and it's sooo much nicer.

Use whatever you want! Just wanted to suggest it.

I always loved the 5-4-3-2-1 method. It's a good, clear system that helps people who are new to mindfullness exercises. You're absolutely right, doing this often makes it easier and easier.

The one thing I'd add is, when you think of each thing, also think of characteristics of it. Otherwise it can be ok five things I see: mouse, keyboard, monitor, phone, can. But instead if can become: black mouse with a light blue light, keyboard with silver logo and bright red escape key, etc etc. It really helps you focus on your surroundings more directly.

Red Hat really has gone all in on cockpit as well. It is very polished and pretty full featured, and continues to improve. Also very easy to setup on RHEL installations. When you login the MOTD actually has instructions on how to enable cockpit, that's how hard they're pushing it.

Reading is so much easier than speaking for me. Grammatically it's so different, and there is so much conjugation that I am very, very slow to put sentences together when speaking. But reading or understanding spoken japanese? No problem, instantly get it, no translation to english required in my head.

Agreed, just go buy Genki 1 and 2, sign up for wanikani for kanji ($10/mo).

Then spend the remainder of that $50 the months after that on hellotalk or italki sessions with a native speakers. You can find highly rated japanese speakers (including professional teachers) for $10-$25 an hour and it's one on one training. That's what I would do if I wasn't taking in person classes.

There are only two sites I donate to: wikipedia and archive.org. I honestly don't know what I'd do without them. I have been able to find web sites from 20 years ago on archive.org, it's an absolute treasure.

My point is that using data from "the last couple days" isn't really indicating anything new in SK. Confirmed cases have been consistent for weeks.

Lots of theories. They have a culture that doesn't shake hands or hug, they caught cases early and had a relatively low infection rate (they claim 80% did not spread the virus), a culture of wearing face masks or possibly it is just due to low testing rates and is actually worse than the numbers suggest.

Doesn't look like the trend there is really changing since it peaked around March 8th. Seems pretty consistently in the low hundreds of new confirmed a day.

It's really annoying that there's nothing other than her name in the headline. There are a lot of articles on HN I don't click on because there's no information and I don't have time to open every article just to figure out if I want to read it. Is it too much to ask that the post include at least some relevant information?

Well, you could also be outsourcing your "build, test, deploy" to someone else and save even more time!

>Maybe I'm too cynical, but I pretty much assume that any email address is "compromised" (as in no longer spam free not pwnd) as soon as it is created.

It's not binary, as in, either "compromised" or not. There are lots of different spammers using different methods. Posting your email address on a public website will dramatically increase the amount of spam you get.

My honest opinion is that they know healthcare specifically is so far behind meeting their regulator requirements they have been trying to slowly phase in penalties.

I just use ctrl-p/n for back/forward in history? Does that not work pretty much everywhere?

Firefox lets you change your default DoH provider and always has. People are just complaining Cloudflare is the default, not that it cannot be changed.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but Firefox allows you to specify both new tab and new window behavior, even independently. Firefox Default, Custom page or just blank.

Is it just me or is anyone else tired of these click-baity headlines? Is it to much to ask for a short sentence that actually describes what it is?

I think security is one of the reason that static CMS have become so popular. Also it lets you easily separate content from the CMS (in the form of markdown, asciidoc, rst) and, maybe most importantly, it makes it very, very fast and makes it easy (and cheap) to host almost anywhere.

I use hugo with aws s3 bucket static web hosting + cloudfront currently. Costs me absolutely nothing with the AWS free tier (5GB of S3 and 50GB of cloudfront free per month). Generate the site in hugo then use the aws cli tools to sync to s3. Because it's almost entirely html with very few images I don't think I could ever hit those AWS free tier limits.

edit: I actually just checked and the free tier is only 12 months. My last months bill total was $0.01 for s3.

For me it's very easy because those domains are also tied to my email and all of my other hosted services (gitea, tt-rss, etc.) all use the same domain. So it's very easy to remember to keep them all alive and active. I've had domain names active far longer than Wordpress has existed.
