Amazing. A few nerdy med students and I started a student group for tech back in 2009 or so, a big part early on was preaching Mnemosyne (another SRS app), with shared decks syncing over a free Dropbox account.

Later used Repetitions (iOS / Mac / web) for the steps, EM boards, and informatics boards most recently.

Only within the last year finally tried Anki -- and this time for language.

I never learned any C based languages, so it's been a challenge, but I've enjoyed learning the basics of bare-metal no_std rust on the esp32c3, with esp-rs and its support for embassy to help me get started!

My learning project -- using mqtt for HomeAssistant integration: <https://github.com/n8henrie/esp32c3-rust-mqtt>

I know bare metal programming is a learning exercise but i can say for 99% of use cases esphome is awesome. I just finished making a cat feeder a esphome smart device

Yes, I have several esphome devices. Very easy to use. Unfortunately the project is not written in a language that I know, and I strongly prefer projects in languages that are familiar to me.

I don't believe so. But the esp32c3 is dirt cheap and runs embassy projects well!

Tried to migrate to Hugo from Jekyll multiple times and have bounced off every time. Don't really know Go very well, but better than Ruby, and used this as justification -- since dealing with Jekyll updates was sometimes a headache (I use GitHub Pages for free hosting and let them build things for me when I push updates).

Instead I eventually just created an environment in nix that had compatible dependency versions to what GitHub uses and have been pleased since.

After a decade of homebrew, a few years ago I got tired of their very grumpy maintainers and switched to nix-darwin + home-manager. I've been overall fairly happy, and for tinkerers would recommend giving it a shot. Admittedly I bounced off my first try a year before that.

A few of my favorite parts, which I see less represented in this thread so far:

- I simultaneously jumped into nixos on several Linux machines (starting with a few Pis for experimentation), and maintaining all of my systems with a single flake and mostly shared code is a dream come true. - no more convoluted dotfile syncing, most of my scripts and aliases and bash config and binaries all sync together - cross-building linux from Darwin -- including integration tests in a vm -- works surprisingly well, this is mostly just nix but nix-darwin has helpers that make this easier - writing system services (launchd) on my Mac then converting them to a headless Linux machine (systemd) is generally very straightforward - prefixing my path with GNU coreutils works well and saves me from many e.g. `sed` quirks, I get expected behavior across OSes - this was always a sore spot in homebrew, either dealing with the `g` prefix on everything (eg `gsed`) or dealing with intermittent breakages when stuff depends on the BSD behavior - I was also able to put nix-darwin on my wife's MacBook and greatly simplify admin / maintenance tasks I do for her - finally, the nix crew is just thirsty for help and contributions, particularly the darwin crowd; I feel like my (minor, occasional) contributions are celebrated, differences of opinion are met with an open mind, it is in general a far departure from the relative hostility of homebrew - on the down side, I have spent far more of my limited time helping contribute to nixpkgs / nix-darwin / home-manager

I installed on macos14? Maybe 13? And have had minimal trouble since.

Comparable to the amount of breakage I regularly had with homebrew.

Citation?

Thanks. Was wondering if this was about my federal thrift savings plan.

Love that you had a good experience. I perform these procedures semi-regularly, and in some cases they can be painful (even with lidocaine). Most people tolerate them very well though, I usually compare it to the pain of an IV stick, which most people have already tolerated, but which can also cause some people a surprising amount of distress.

I had one and they Let me walk the next day to other diagnostics, had about 6 months severe headaches afterwards which only were bearable when lying down flat. Glad it went away, finally. If I remember correcly you should stay in bed for 48h after the procedure.

Yes, the possibility of severe and prolonged headaches are part of my consent for this procedure. That said, I'm usually only performing the procedure to help exclude (or confirm) a medical condition with risk of permanent disability or death, so it can be a tough decision at times.

Thank you.

As Seneca said, I suffered more in imagination than reality in this case.

Use Time Machine over SMB to a ZFS-backed drive. Works great, even remotely. See my longer comment elsewhere in this thread.
