Congrats! My native youtube RSS feeds are mostly 404 or access forbidden, depending on the day, as are many others’.

Ok. This makes it trivial to do so since youtube RSS feeds are eithet nonexistent or unreliable.

Used to use FreshRSS. Switched to miniflux and I’m much happier now. It’s very, very simple, very clean, and does exactly what it says on the tin. You may, however, want the less opinionated experience of FreshRSS. You can always try both. (PS. I don’t typically use miniflux as my actual reader – I use reader software for that most of the time, with all my devices pulling from the same miniflux-based RSS source.)

Ok, let’s say you selfhost RSS Bridge at myselfhost.net:1234. Let’s say you want to follow a youtube channel, @fancyyoutuber, via RSS. Plug the channel into rss-bridge, and it outputs an RSS feed at myselfhost.net:1234/feed/youtube/fancyyoutuber/atom.xml (I totally made that link up). You plug that into your RSS reader of choice as the feed source, and, boom, the youtube channel is in your reader.

So, when we drive up to Georgia or South Carolina from Florida, there’s a point on I-75 where the Jesus billboards come out. Many of them are the usual “Babies have heartbeats” variety, but there’s also the following:

• “Have you decided yet … Jesus” which we always render in an exasperated voice, aka “OMG have you decided yet? Jesus!”
• “Go ahead, let go. I’ll catch you - Jesus” which we always respond to with “WTF Jesus just reach down and grab me, you’re RIGHT THERE!”
• “Jesus is in control” with mysterious Russian tanks and American soldiers.
• Zombies and Jesus for … reasons.

It’s a fair warning, but on my M2 MBA the only things that don’t work are the microphone and some elements of graphics acceleration. I keep macos on a tiny partition for firmware updates and, I guess, to recover in the event of a catastrophic failure, but … it’s been rock solid. Most of the software I use has compatible builds, which might be the most surprising part.

I am similarly cis gender, straight male (much to my more fluid spouse’s amusement and dismay). I’ve just found the fem- voice actors to be better. Femshep, the female lead in Ghost Recon Wildlands, etc. Or maybe it’s that the brah actors for the male characters sound so consistently dumb. And now it’s just a thing I do.

PS. I hope you love yourself.

I mean, a liter is very close to a quart, so it’s not like we’d be asking people to adjust their mindset completely. And ditching US measures means we could finally, once and for all, dispense with the nonsense of having a dry and a wet “cup” measure.

As for converting records, well, it would be trivial to display a converted value in whatever EMR system a practice uses while noting the values are converted and allowing display of the uncoverted data for validation. (Which brings us to the EMR discussion.)

Obsidian, logseq, and others work natively with markdown files that are almost cross-compatible and can be edited and used in any text editor. Things like back linking may not be present in that case (of using a plain text editor) but it doesn’t disappear from the file.

Roam uses a proprietary format but exports to markdown.

Birds. Servers are big, strong, imposing birds. Mobile devices are small and flitting birds. Things in between are birds in between. I’ve put some thematic value on some of the bird names (a showy bird for media, etc.).
