So, Oracle has disabled my account. I was using too much bandwidth which _may be_ against their policies. But I would have been given a notice at tje very least. At this point, I dont this i will be using oracle anymore for any thing. Good thing, all my data is backed up elsewhere. 🫡

My requirements are pretty simple:
1. It must be hosted on a server. (I know the recent hullabaloo with offline-first movement but I personally dont see any use of it.)
2. It must be scriptable. I want to do more with the wiki/notebooks than just add text.
3. It must have a snazzy first editor.
So, based on those, shortlisted candidates are DokuWiki and TiddlyWiki. Both have terrible, terrible looks it must be said. But DokuWiki's editor is very difficult to mod.
About TW, every time I revisit this project after a few years, I am left amazed by the incredible work people are putting into this. This is perhaps the best piece of software ever built. Can you imagine you can code inside a running app and change its behaviour? That's mind-blowing stuff.
TW FTW, until I find problems with no resolution.

Hubrman's latest episode features Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, discussing about eradicating diseases. If the stats are any indication, most people outrightly disliked the discussion.

I have taken up several vocations in the past — in fact, my main job is all thanks to the winderful internet community — but I have never seen so much content dedicated to a single subject. Mind-blown.

#Reading Marcus du "Sautoy's What We Cannot Know" is really throught-provoking. Halfway through you would probably start questioning our current state of understanding of reality, sometimes bordering on philosophical brain-fucks. It is written in simple lucid way that any layman can easily grasp. Unlike most pop-sci books, author goes deep into the concepts, with occasional quips.

India's #startup space is pretty saturated now. But what bothers me is that no one digitizing the brick and mortar shops. They are left in the lurch. Most of the people are now online. Those who are not, are getting into it very fast. But the brick-n-mortar shops are severely beaten by the conglomerates. If they are given visibility, they can still make profits.

Was reading Jay Samit's "Future Proofing You" and found a really nice technique to grow connection and find mentors on LinkedIn. So, I logged into my rusty LinkedIn profile. Apart from seeing my old college friends all well-placed now, I realised I have a tendency to disagree with most of the stuff shared on popular social networks. All the posts seem so shallow and half-baked and you can tell just by reading a couple of sentences that most of them are aimed at getting more likes and shit. I don't get the point honestly. If you have a good product/skill, you'd get noticed. Instead of posting non-sense on social media, these people should be writing good code and release them on Github. Honestly, Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn and others have turned internet into a toxic cesspool of half-assed content.

Of all the devices I own, iPad is perhaps the best choice I made. Tech specs aside, this device has given me the opportunity to read so many books I will probably lose count. Over the years, it is showing its age but I think I extend its life for one more year. But again, the new age iPad's are absolutely breathtaking. It's a sad truth Apple devices are so expensive that I have to plan at least a year ahead of purchasing.
Also, I am broke.

This is a very unusual take by Wolff but does earn a lot of respect for the Merc team principal.
“As a team principal, I don’t want to jump on the bandwagon that others have done in the past of saying we need to change the regulations because we can’t continue with the dominance of a team,” he said. “If a team dominates in the way Max has done with Red Bull, than fair dos."

It was September 2022. I was recently posted in a different place about 160 km from my hometown. It was difficult to commute everyday. So I rented a room there. It was during weekends when I visited home.
But life at the new place became tidbit boring. Made a few new friends. But coming back from office to an empty house was agonising. I spent time mostly working on my side projects. But it was not enough.
Then I decided to learn something new. Something that will keep me entertained. On a whim, I bought this little item. https://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B00KZHMZ1K?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
I had nothing in mind - just wanted a new toy to play with. But surprisingly, it turned into a new hobby and i have since spent many hours with this gem. Thesedays you can learn almost everything if you just put some effort into it. I have learned a few tunes from YouTube and somewhat improvise upon them just a bit. Also, it consumes much of my free time which would otherwise be spent having cigarettes.
Just a few bucks and I have found a lot of goodness in this tiny little instrument.
So, whats a recent purchase you have made which turned out to be a great buy even though you didnt expect it to be? #asknostr

A very close friend of mine recently made a comment (on lighter note, tho) that I always buy expensive items for everyday use. He went on to say that I must be filthy #rich (even though he knew pretty well how broke I am). I tried to reason with him but he joked that these were excuses.
Honestly tho, expensive (and branded) items last long. In general. Take an iPhone for example. The last #iPhone I was using was a 2017 iPhone SE. Even in 2022, I regularly received security patches. Get me an #Android OEM that does this!
IMO, there are two types of items you buy: 1. Those you wont be bored to use even after a couple of years, and 2. those you plan to replace in every couple years. For the latter, I always go fore the cheapest available option. And the for the former, it requires a bit of time and effort to make the appropriate choice. But, generally, this costs me more.
So, what are your reasoning before you make a purchase decision? #asknostr
