Ram Dass - Be Here Now

Amazing book with mind blowing illustrations about life, purpose and spirituality. Changed my life. Every time I re-read it I discover something new.

How does this compare with the Dasung Paperlike 25.3? Looks like the same E-ink display, but perhaps different driver?

Get a single 43” 4K monitor.

Then use a window manager that allows to automatically arrange windows. I build my own using Hammerspoon on macOS.

Great productivity upgrade.

Confirmed: Build a 30k pages site with Hugo in 53 seconds, including grabbing JSON content from Contentful and deploy on AWS S3.

Took some effort to get everything under 60 seconds, speed was the main reason to use Hugo.

In the Masters of Scale podcast (1) Eric Schmidt told Reid Hoffman in september that COVID-19 is limiting his ability to do what he loves to do to the extent that he shifted his main focus to COVID-19. One of the reasons for this was his decreased ability to freely move around and meet people.

Getting a EU passport makes moving in the EU a lot easier.

This after working remote for years, from all over the world.

This is the main reason I didn’t buy one.

Worth noting that I actually feel quite bad about this, I really wanted to try one out, and vote with my wallet in favour of more open hardware, an alternative architecture and to support a smaller company like Raptor. I eagerly followed all the news around Raptor (both here on HN, lobste.rs and elsewhere) and read all the guy "ClassicHasClass"'s blogs @ talospace.com - but in the end I unfortunately can't justify to myself the expense (when I spec out a modest Blackbird system it consumes the better part of a month's salary, I've recently bought my first flat and I sense a recession around the corner...). That actually makes me feel a bit hypocritical and part of the "problem", but maybe I'm not actually the target market.

Anyone wanting control of a powerful modern computer is part of the target market. We just haven't been able to drive the price down further at this time -- doing hardware design around fully open source firmware is hard and a lot of the typical shortcuts to lower costs (including the always-concerning "post-sale monetization" concepts) simply aren't something we find acceptable on any level.

Basically, it doesn't do anyone any good for us to lower cost by giving up the full owner control experience that is centric to our product lines. :)

Keep an eye out for an EU distributor of ours -- probably sometime late this month / early next if all goes well...

Second that T480s, love it. 24GB RAM, 2TB SSD. Booting OpenBSD, macOS and Linux. Scaling on WQHD display works solid. Only drawback is that the WWAN (4G) only works under Linux and the touchpad is not as good as in a MacBook Pro.
