I really like DeWALT. I think it’s a solid choice, and I doubt anyone who isn’t a professional will notice the difference in quality between those and Makita. Plus, they have some neat tools that have unusual features that make an unexpectedly large improvement in ease-of-use.

sxan, to asklemmy in What are some of your cheap eats hacks?
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Amen.

You can make pasta with flour, water, and salt. Add yeast, and you can make country loaf bread. Add a little sugar, butter, & milk, and you can make white sandwhich bread, or dumplings for soup. These are absurdly easy recipes, almost impossible to mess up. Change the portions, and you have sugar cookies, like you said! Splurge on chocolate chips and you can have chocolate chip cookies. Get some baking soda, and you can make crackers.

Flour’s about 80¢/lb. Salt is $10 for 26 oz, which will last many, many recipes. Yeast is $1.50/oz. For $25, you can make about 25 loaves of bread, and still have a bunch of salt left over.

Flour is the single best, and most versitile, calorie-to-dollar value food.

I’m starting to like Thumb Key. It may have the hardest learning curve I’ve ever seen, but it’s highly configurable, the developer is super active, and it has a ton of nicely implemented features. I feel as if it’ll be like vim: hard to get up to speed on, but once the muscle memory takes hold, I’ll be extremely productive with it.

XPS make great Linux machines, but I find their batteries have a noticable drop after a year or so.

My next machine is going to be a FrameWork, so that I can easily replace the battery.

@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Well, don’t let me put you off of it; Rust Desk is pretty nice, and user friendly. Just… keep any eye on it if you run it on your phone. Maybe you won’t have any problems, but if you start noticing reboots, you’ll have an idea of why.

sxan, to asklemmy in How accurate is current eye-tracking tecknology?
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

That’s awesome, thanks!

sxan, to privacy in Tor isn't as decentralised as we thought?
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Why?

Is it polynomially recursive? Like, the AML stands for “AML MAML LAML”, and so on?

sxan, to linux in Bcachefs Merged into the Linux 6.7 Kernel
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Good. For one thing, we can move on to drama about something else. But, also, I’d like to play with it without having to build a kernel.

sxan, to risa in Vampires, but *space*
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

We learned in the actual space vampire episode that they don’t like Vulcans.

Yah, someone pointed out my mistake. Ah, well.

It’s in AUR. There’s also a -bin version.

The Venom illustrations always remind me of that Brood cover.

sxan, to linux in Does Nix's break from FHS cause problems?
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Eh. I didn’t personally find that the upheaval added much, and it interfered with my muscle memory working with FHS systems… which are everything else. It didn’t add, like, BeOS-levels of drastic benefit in exchange for being so divergent. And it obviously never caught on anywhere else.

Just my experience.

sxan, to privacy in Should I get one of those shielded wallets?

Contactless payment works only half the timeon actual registers. What magic do scammers have that makes their readers work so well, and why aren’t stores using it?
