Isn’t Llama selfhostable?

I admire your conviction

This also applies to coding! And I’m not currently dreading the fact I keep thinking of more and more convoluted solutions to my problem at work at all!

I was thinking about it more as the “sword of dieting” because it should tell you when you’re actually hungry, not just bored or whatever, and will stop glowing when your hunger has been properly satiated so you know when to stop eating!

Well, I suppose you first need to consider what’s doing the work on a guillotine; as far as I can tell it’s only using gravity to drop the blade. So we’d want to reduce any friction caused by the rails, it’d be easiest to upgrade to aluminum and get some sort of ball bearings or something to keep it as low as possible. Obviously we want a sharp a blade as possible - considering our lack of sustained killings it might be best to move to a one use blade mechanism to keep it pointy since we probably don’t have to worry about durability with sustained beheadings.

Hmm, after that we should probably try to introduce more energy into the system since we’re still just using gravity. Adding more weight would probably help but wouldn’t ever make it go faster than terminal velocity. Maybe the cheapest option would be spring-loading the top of the guillotine so after the lever is pulled it shoots down. Or if you want more future-y could try to make some sort of magnet railgun to propel the blade down at increasingly fast speeds.

For the bottom it seems pretty good, though you’ll want to make sure you have the executioner line up the blade to be in-between the vertebrae (gotta try and make it as swift as possible). Then maybe add a pillow, because it doesn’t look super comfy there.

I’ve been using Garuda (arch derivative) for my home and work PC. It works how I want it to, I like that it has BTRFS as default for the file system, and the AUR is such an amazing resource I miss it whenever I use a different distro.

I have a production server that’s using Alma at the moment, but with the RHEL news I’m thinking of switching it over to something else, but I’m not sure what yet. I’ve been using Ubuntu server for some test servers/projects and I like it better than Alma but it still hasn’t given me that “wow” factor I feel with Arch so I’m not sure what I’m going to do there…

I got some seeds from a nice person on r/guerrillagardening, they were showy milkweeds!

In what way, if I may ask?

I use it for home and work! I quite like it though I miss latte dock still, dragging windows from the top bar was just so useful for me

The more that climate change continues we will see more and more extremes of weather. So cold places might get colder and hot places hotter, as well as more extreme/frequent storms. It’s not a super great time for the environment
