Omarchy has been a blast to use

I really enjoy lists like this. These days, recommendation systems tend to push the most popular and addictive content, which makes it harder to stumble upon hidden gems. But I’ve found that older or more obscure novels often carry a different kind of imagination. They’re not following formulas and they’re not tied to movies or franchises. It feels like reading someone’s raw creative mind before it got polished or filtered. I’m also curious if anyone has a book that barely anyone talks about, but left a lasting impact on you. I’d love to add it to my list.

Agree. That is why when it comes to movies I still rent discs at a local video store. The owner, Colin, is the ultimate movie recommendation master. The algorithm just can’t compete. If you live in San Francisco, the store is called Video Wave.

I think one major improvement in technology that allows self hosting in the year 2025 is mesh VPN’s like Tailscale.

Sure, you could run your own firewall and what not but the mesh VPN with it’s simple set up. Makes it a whole lot easier to access your home services.

I’ve been using Omarchy (Arch+Hyprland) as my daily driver for over a month. It is faster, prettier and more efficient than macOS in my opinion. I have a Framework 16” on order. I can’t wait to get it.

Of course. We are the most well equipped to run with it. Others will quickly create a sloppy mess while wise developers can keep the beast tame.

I dumped MacOS. Would be cool to see this as an app package available on Omarchy.

Or just go with a Beelink SER8 and toss Arch Linux + Wayland on it. you’ll save thousands of dollars and have a better user interface that’s way more customizable and efficient.

Invest in our S&P 500. It’s a win win for our country and citizens who retire. A great motivation to contribute as well.

Kind of wild to think that all these uncontacted tribes could actually be more like post-apocalyptic survivors rather than a glimpse at our distant neolithic past.

Definitely more fun to speculate about.

Graham Hitchcock writes some amazing books that offer insightful possibilities to our past. He typically bucks main stream archeology theories
