I’m pretty sure that’s the design for the enterprise from Star Trek Phase II, a series that never got made; this design was then developed further into the now familiar refit from TMP

Melllvar doesn’t give up, does he?

For me (I use Kavita) it’s because I want to be able to just pick up whatever device is in front of me at the moment and pick up the book where I last left off even if it was on another device

Definitely, at least in the modern day. I was surprised to see Jane Austen do it a few times in Pride and Prejudice but I don’t think it had quite the same connotation back then 😆

I’m not on meds now. I didn’t like adderall back when I was on that (being on adderall felt like going from the adhd being in control to the adderall being in control instead, and I’d also get amphetamine crashes every evening and weekend), and before that ritalin made my an emotional wreck. I’m able to manage better than before I was on strattera; granted I was in a hole of depression at the time and I’m not now; I do think the strattera helped me to climb out of it. All I take now is vitamins B and D and they seem to help a little with focus.

I also had trouble sleeping when I first started taking strattera. I switched to taking it around noon to 1 rather than before bed, and that seemed to deal with the issue after a few days. I didn’t take it earlier than that because I drink coffee in the morning and I found that taking it within a couple hours of caffeine would give me heartburn or nausea. The intense focus lasted a few weeks and then settled down, but it was still quite helpful for the next five years or so. It eventually seemed to lose effectiveness after about five years and I’m not on it anymore. Regardless I’m in a much better place now than I was before I started it and I do think the drug can be given a good part of the credit.

I do remember having the same thought as you though, is this what it’s like to be neurotypical? You just decide to do something and then do it. Wild.

One thing to look at if you’re going this route is whether your router supports NAT loopback (a.k.a. NAT reflection or NAT hairpinning). This feature means that you can access your server via the external IP (and therefore via the ddns domain name) even from within your network. It’s really useful for phones and laptops that might be on your home network at some times and off somewhere else at other times, so you don’t have to change configurations on e.g. the Nextcloud client, or remember to type in different addresses inside and outside the network. Some routers just do this, some don’t, some it’s a setting you have to turn on. The router built into my ISP-supplied cable modem didn’t support it so I got my own router and put the ISP one into bridge mode.

Shhh no one tell spez there’s still RSS feeds

My list for my raspberry pi 4 (4 GB):

• Nextcloud (synced cloud storage, like Dropbox; it can do more with plugins but this is all I use it for)
• FreshRSS (RSS reader)
• Wallabag (read it later, like Pocket or Instapaper)
• Gitea (git project hosting like Github; admittedly I don’t really use this one much)
