Hello, it’s me, the subject of this portrait. Self proclaimed archivist that was proud when I reduced the number of tabs on my phone from the 500 max to 430. I’ll have you know sitting still for this portrait was one of the most challenging experiences in my life.

I used to use a browser extension to do this, mostly liked it until I tried to convert all my ebooks to it as well. It’s works, but it technically splits the words into two objects in order to change the font, which makes searching the book nearly impossible because typing a whole word will no longer find instances of it, instead you have to search for either half. Only an issue for ebooks, but it sort of turned me off of using this in general. Also I believe it’s “technically” copyrighted. I remember encountering something that wanted me to pay to use this. I found alternatives, but still, just left a bad taste in my mouth even though it helped. It did help me naturally read faster even without it, because rather than directly processing each letter I can do a sort of exclusion based search of my vocabulary as I process each letter. After 2 or 3, sometimes 4 letters, and with context I can correctly assume the rest of the word and move on.

Woah, I just got an ad for this today, and was intrigued enough to see what their monetization model was (in app purchases/subscriptions for “pro” features) and took a big pass on it.

I want to boost this approach. At first I just whole sale swapped to the full Proton Suite as a G-Suite replacement. But I quickly decided I did not want all my eggs in their basket, so I kept their VPN because it’s got good interfaces for mobile while also playing nice with OpenVPN on Linux, and then I’ve used other solutions for email and cloud and such, self hosting wherever possible.

This is just a gentile reminder that if it’s truly a flag design, it should work just as well and be readable when hung from the short side.

Okay, I’ve been following your posts for a while, but never commented. Wanted to finally say I’ve been really loving getting to see your journey with Sandy. I feel like I’m seeing her grow into herself under your care and it’s honestly very sweet. Brightens my day whenever I see a post of yours!

I also avoided it for some of these reasons, but in the end it was just the setup that got messy. I ended up using Sunshine/Moonlight for an overall nicer experience. I can use it to stream games if I’ve got a good connection, or toss it in low bandwidth mode for remote admin work. I run it behind Tailscale to access it from anywhere, it supports Wayland, it’s all fully open source, and I’m very happy with the setup.

Or 2 for $36. You can cover two doorways. Not a bad deal.

I accidentally did this when getting into skateboarding edits. My player is set to default to 1.75x speed. I happened to watch a video on a new browser or something and literally thought gravity was acting differently for a sec because how much more airtime they were getting then I realized I had trained a misperception of gravity into myself.
