Plenty of top endurance athletes are vegan. For one, runner Scott Jurek, seven time winner of 100-mile Western States week.
Personally, this week I biked 152 miles and placed in my age group in a 5k running race. I eat plant-based but don’t count protein grams. My take is that I eat about twice as much to cover my calorie expenditures, so I get twice as much protein. It doesn’t have to be hard.
The Big Beautiful Bill also bundled a bunch of unrelated things, and that still got GOP votes.
Downside: it requires knowing a new coding language, Nix, to maintain your laptop.
If you don’t understand it, it’s going to be painful to fix anything that doesn’t work.
I have had more problems with two different Frameworks than most Thinkpads. Battery died, boot/power problems on both the 13 and 16, touchpad problem on the 13.
I prefer the concept of the Frameworks but can’t say they have worked better in practice.
I’m sure Tesla shareholders are happy to hear he’s picked up another side project.
One obstacle all third parties face in the US is party-line voting, which favors the dominant parties.
On possible outcome is that he puts a lot of money into making third party candidates more viable, like efforts to ban party-line voting or supporting ranked choice voting. So, you could vote for the America Party candidate and then if they don’t have a majority ñ, you vote could roll over to the Dem or GOP candidate of your choice, reducing your risk of voting third party.
These changes would help Libertarian, Green and other parties as well. More choice for voters!
And if you aren’t home or available?
Does PiHole ever break a family member’s browsing, and then they don’t know to fix the issue because it would involve understanding opening up the PiHole web interface?
This is interesting, I would be quite impressed if this PR got merged without additional changes.
We’ll see. Whether it gets merged in any form, it’s still a big win for me because I finally was able to get some changes implemented that I had been wanting for a couple years.
are you able to read and and have a decent understanding of the output code?
Yes. I know other coding languages and CSS. Sometimes Claude generated code that was correct but I thought it was awkward or poor, so I had it revise. For example, I wanted to handle a boolean case and it added three booleans and a function for that. I said no, you can use a single boolean for all that. Another time it duplicated a bunch of code for the single and multi-monitor cases and I had it consolidate it.
In one case, It got stuck debugging and I was able to help isolate where the error was through testing. Once I suggested where to look harder, it was able to find a subtle issue that I couldn’t spot myself. The labels were appearing far too small at one point, but I couldn’t see that Claude had changed any code that should affect the label size. It turned out two data structures hadn’t been merged correctly, so that default values weren’t getting overridden correctly. It was the sort of issue I could see a human dev introducing on the first pass.
do you know why it is uncommented?
Yes, that’s the fix for supporting floating windows. The author reported that previously there was a problem with the z-index of the labels on these windows, so that’s apparently why it was implemented but commented out. But it seems due to other changes, that problem no longer exists. I was able to test that labels on floating windows now work correctly.
Through the process, I also became more familiar with Rust tooling and Rust itself.

It’s not great that four changes are rolled into a single PR, but that’s my issue not Claude’s because they were related and I wanted to test them all at once.
This weekend I successfully used Claude to add three features in a Rust utility I had wanted for a couple years. I had opened issue requests, but no else volunteered. I had tried learning Rust, Wayland and GTK to do it myself, but the docs at the time weren’t great and the learning curve was steep. But Claude figured it all out pretty quick.
There is way to do this that works with even older computers and is easy to manage.
That’s with Edubuntu and thin-client computing using the Linux Terminal Server project, LTSP.
In that model, you install Linux once on a server. Each computer in the lab is set to boot over the network from the server.
This way there is one computer to maintain, the users can’t access root and all the storage is centralized.
Even old computers with low CPU and RAM and no hard drive can make good thin clients.
A number of schools have been using this approach for 15+ years.
I use YADM to manage my dotfiles. I like and recommend it.
I don’t share them, though.
I work in a security-related position. My dotfiles expose more about tools I use, how I have them configured and if those configurations are secure.
I still like sharing and if there’s some snippet I think is particularly useful, I may share directly or post it somewhere. But I don’t share them all by default.
