I've been ogling Raycast for a while now, wishing I could have that level of functionality. I'm excited to try this instead of ilia in Regolith.

William James - The Varieties of Religious Experience

I host my music on an Unraid box on my home LAN, use Plex+Plexamp to serve and access it, and 1000% recommended Plex+Plexamp. It is, without a doubt, the best music app I've used on a phone, including other self-hosting solutions, local apps like Poweramp, and commercial streaming apps like Spotify. I really can't speak of it highly enough.

Moxie is an AIO app for freelancers. Check it out.

I generally agree though barely stayed with Pixel+GOS after my last Pixel refused to turn on after plugging it in before a nap, leaving me with a totally bricked phone, no way of recovering local data on the device, and a $100 bill to replace it since the screen was cracked - despite it being dead because of manufacturer defects, and a broken screen having no bearing on it's death.

If I wasn't such a fan of GrapheneOS, I would have ditched Pixel so fast.

Cost is not the only reason to prefer wired over wireless.

I can't wait to see cultural uptake of the importance of light and circadian friendly indoor lighting.

Of course, I'd prefer advances in construction that would allow large amounts of full spectrum light to enter buildings, but that's only relevant to new construction.

Try Kagi Search if you're willing to pay for a better search experience!

I've been using it for over a year, 100% of the time, and love it. Great results and awesome functionality like weighting certain sites, AI summarization, etc.

I don't work for Kagi, I just seriously love it.

> almost everything folks want is legally available on a streaming service for cheap or no-charge

The majority of TV shows and movies that I watch are unavailable on streaming services. I know there's some more specialty streaming services for film these days, but besides that, it seems like its mostly well-known classics, anything mainstream from the past 20 years, or new releases that are available.

I solely credit piracy for enabling my appreciation of film and TV. I was never a big fan of either until I got access to a huge catalog and started watching classics that are not popular enough for streaming services to pickup.

Melatonin disrupts circadian hormonal cycles. One of the key ways being delay of morning secretion of cortisol and other hormones.

It really should not be ingested except on rare occasions.

You know, I actually actively dislike Discourse's UX. I've always found there to be a cognitive load to usage that I never found with PhpBB, other older forum software, or Reddit.

I think my issue with it has to do with too clean of a UI, not enough visual hierarchy, delineation between post replies, etc.

DXM is one of a few dissociative compounds besides Ketamine that I feel should be further studied for psychological and emotional benefit, the most important, in my opinion, being Methoxetamine (MXE).

If anyone that has any pull is reading this, do trials with MXE. It's Ketamine on steroids.

Like most dissociatives, it is unpleasant until it "clicks".

Once it clicks, it is just as pleasurable as Ketamine, Methoxetamine, and other related ACHs.

One major difference between DXM and K is that DXM is quite stimulating whereas K is rather subdued and relaxing. If you don't have dissociative experience besides Ketamine, I'm not surprised that trying DXM after K would lead to an unpleasant experience.

How much have you used DXM? It's not deliriant-esque in it's effects at all, IME. While having notable differences in a few secondary aspects of it's effects profile, a majority of it's effects are classic arylcyclohexylamine dissociative effects.

Context: I've used a large amount of DXM as well as numerous ACH dissociatives.

It's closer to Roam Research, the project that inspired and catalyzed Obsidian.md

There are a few major differences, but otherwise, the functionality is mostly similar.

I just got a Figma Educational license two days ago. I'm likely going to just work with Penpot, instead. I'm so glad to see you guys here. It's certainly worth the development, considering how quickly prices raise at Figma when working with teams.

Buy a deep red LED. Check out GembaRed, or talk to the owner, about where to buy.

Sunlight has tons of red and infrared light (red and near infrared have mostly the same effects on cells, the main difference being penetration distance).

Light is ridiculously important for mitochondrial health, and that effect on mitochondria is one of the main reasons sunlight is so necessary for optimal health. Fun fact, 75% of potential ATP production only results from light exposure, with only 25% from food. We run on light more than we do food (necessary nutrients and minerals aside).

I would strongly argue against your claim that altering brain chemistry strips experience of meaning. That is a highly biased statement based on a few strong, and IMO false, assumptions.

I'm pretty sure the poster you replied to meant the original Guild Wars, which, so far as I'm aware of, was a 'buy once, and play for life' model. No micro transactions there.

Hancock was far removed when he first came onto the scene in the mid 90s, and is slowly finding his theories more and more supported.

I'm the one that mentioned him elsewhere in the thread. It's sad to me that he gets so much shit in scientific circles when he's quite reserved with making truth claims, instead making hypotheses that are unfortunately misaligned with current theories and so derided as pseudo-science or bullshit.

Disco Elysium

Eating close to sleep disrupts fatty acid metabolism and is generally not a good idea. If I remember correctly, it also lowers melatonin.

You keep saying Zettlr is stable, unlike Obsidian? Why? Obsidian is quite stable in my experience, despite being in beta. Do you simply mean the feature set is built out and mostly solidified? Otherwise, I don't see the rationale behind your comment.

No Syncthing, rsync, or multi-connection FTPS/SFTP with split archives?
