I am Lattrommi. Yes, that one. You’ve never heard of me? I’m not surprised. It is often said that anything you put on the internet will live there forever. It becomes immortal. I do everything backwards and wrong. I do not live forever, I am always dying. ¿|√∞²|?

    I get that your not into the idea of biking. For the sake of the environment I want to mention that I live at the top of a hill where the first soap box derby tournament was held. If you’ve ever seen one of those, it’s a pretty steep hill they race down. My ebike goes up it with no problems other than from cars on the road. I don’t even have to pedal, I just push a little lever and up it goes. This city is 5th highest in murder rate in the U.S. and auto thefts are just as bad but a good lock and smart parking helps. Oh and I have all the balance of a newborn kitten on a pile of fresh laundry.






  • I can’t offer any good advice, just take consolation in the fact that I have done some of the same, but likely worse. I try to switch to a new email, don’t fully migrate or close the old one, end up with a convoluted mess, end up just checking emails individually. I have protonmail, 4 gmails and a yahoo account. Yes yahoo. Part of that is sentimental, I signed up for it in 1998 and it’s hard to let go. I have a folder of email bookmarks and just right click ‘open all in new tabs’ to check them. As for passwords, well, I wont talk about that. It’s not good but still not worst practices at least.


  • I have a wild theory that humans needs the full spectrum of natural sunlight nearly every day for at least an hour or so. It’s known already that is creates vitamin D. I think other unknown effects happen and that the screens people stare at are not providing the same spectrum, resulting in a lack of wavelengths that we need to stay healthy.

    Newton and Tesla both have anecdotal stories about staring at the sun (or it’s reflection) and being inspired by it as well. There are others as well.

    It’s a crazy idea, I know, but what if, under certain rare circumstances, viewing the sun unlocks certain mental capabilities and enhances the mind or body of the person who experiences it in unexpected ways?

    I’m not saying anyone should stare at the sun obviously, I simply think there’s so much more to light than we understand and that limiting wavelengths, in my opinion, will only prevent such an occurance, if it were something that actually existed.

    I remapped the capslock key to be third level shift ³ or fourth level ¼ if used with normal shift and in the unlikely scenario where I need capslock, I hit both shifts at the same time to toggle it.

    Now I can do all sorts of neat symbols! ∞÷⍉±0≠¡⍶⍹⍷§⌾M€⍥


  • Others mentioned that it sounds hardware related. That reminded me that you should visually inspect all ports, especially unused ones. I had a system locking up constantly once and it turned out to be from debris in a usb port on one of the monitors was causing a short. It’s something that wont necessarily cause logged errors and can cause seemingly random behaviour that will have one chasing problems that don’t exist. USB ports and DVI plugs especially can be hard to notice with how they are constructed. Audio jack holes too. Make sure there’s no breaks in any cords. It seems too simple to be true and then it happens and you feel foolish for not having thought of it.

    Same. As for distro, for me personally, it should be designed to be usable with one hand, because I crashed and broke my elbow.

    For bike users in general though, it should be something …bespoke.

    For non-ebike cyclists I think an analog computer would be appropriate. Wait, do those have an OS? I guess it would be a manual system but I gotta check the manual manual to be sure.




  • Unrelated to the point of your post, regarding the warning placed after the link. In the future, consider putting the warning BEFORE the link. This is an issue I’ve noticed more and more lately, where warnings come at the end or after the description of something to do which requires a warning. People are often impulsive and will click or perform actions without reading ahead. An example that is probably not the best example, which I like to use regardless, is (Warning, do not try this alone!) autoerotic asphyxiation. It can have serious consequences. Providing the instructions on how to do it, spoken/written in a positive manner, without preceding it with a warning, I’d say is without exception, a bad idea.
