    Here’s a neat trick to imagine what it could feel like. Close both of your eyes. You see darkness, right? Now close one eye and leave the other one open. You don’t really “see” anything out of that closed eye at all. There’s no darkness. There’s just nothing there.

    I saw that some blind people actually have difficulties falling asleep. Because they cant see the sun, their circadian rhythm and they’re sleep/wake signals are all out of sync.

    While I normally prefer Linux Mint, Fedora was the only distro that worked with all touch features out of the box on my IdeaPad Flex 5. Other distros I tried out (Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, OpenSUSE) had some issue or another that required tweaks: Second-class touch support, like the cursor jumping to where you tap instead of real tap input, applications not drag-scrolling, and the keyboard not re-enabling after flipping back from tablet mode.



  • I have one of these mini PCs arriving soon. A little more money than I wanted to spend and no idea if this brand is any good. But it checks a lot of boxes for a backup server project I’m working on - eMMC for boot, microsd slot, M.2 2280 NVME socket, and a 2.5" SATA connection. They have some other variants as well that don’t cost as much.

    I originally got a used Dell Optiplex Micro from eBay for this. They come with a 2.5" SATA connection. But I learned the hard way that not all models come with M.2.
