I strongly disagree on the small lenses. Now your reading zone is a larger percentage of the lense, so you have to move your head more. A larger lense enables a lower rate of change from the central reading zone to the distance zone.

How the zones are designed is a significant factor too. You can have a larger reading zone (say you do close work most of the time), or a smaller reading zone if you only occasionally do close work. It's really important to work with an optician to get the right setup, especially for your first pair.

Very nice. Looks like you got the oil thin enough (as Cooks Country would say, so thin it's almost not there).

A few more rounds and it'll be a solid layer.

When you say sync, what are you wanting to sync?

Passwords, keys, etc? Bitwarden (maybe with vaultwarden).

That's a lot of words coming from Kowalski! 😁

Now where's the dynamite?

All I get is a static page. Wonder what privacy-violating scripts they're running.

You're not wrong on the primary reason why life spans are longer.

That doesn't account for all of it. Or for the major difference in quality of life in the 40+ ages.

The difference in my grandparents generation vs mine in overall health at 40 is staggering. They were born before what could arguably be called modern medicine (the beginning of antibiotics) existed.

I had a family member get a knee replacement 20+ years ago - that was magical futurism in my grandparents generation. And the difference from then (weeks of rehab, crutches, etc), vs today when it's typically outpatient surgery and you're walking on it the same day.

Or the number of people not having strokes or heart attacks because of medicines to treat underlying conditions.

The difference in my own lifetime is staggering.

"probably".

So you're assuming. The naturalistic fallacy at work.

  1. Is man restless? If so, what do you mean by "restless"? Restless as compared to what?

Going from memory, I think the app Immich is often talked about as a server for your own photos. I haven't tried it yet.

Oh, nice combo of tools. May actually be a better approach than Resilio or Syncthing.

Wasn't AIM just using XMPP? (It's been a while since I looked at these things).

Still neat. AIM was impressive for the time, I even ran it on Android circa 2009. Frustrating that things like AIM/XMPP got supplanted by SMS, then things like WhatsApp, etc got in when we already had better with XMPP!
