What ebook library managers do y'all use? Looking to see if there's anything out there with a better UX than calibre.
honestly I don't even really use the book server, mostly just like to keep my local files organized

FINALLY! I SOLVED AOC DAY 3 PART 2!! I did it!!!!! in quadratic time instead of exponential lol!!
(...5 days late but never mind that 🤫)
I felt so satisfied remembering "use-it-or-lose-it" two days ago until I realized that it *also* didn't scale with my solution
but anyway yippee!!

my day 2 advent of code solution feels super scuffed. is there a way to determine if a number is a repeating pattern without iterating over all of its possible substrings?
at least I skipped substrings that have a length that is not a multiple of the original number's length

trying out the advent of code again today... I got stuck last year and didn't finish them. trying it in rust this year because I really like rust and want to get better at it. spoiler: don't double count your zeroes like I did!

is there a performant privacy-focused browser like firefox that isn't trying to shove AI into its users' faces? I tried out zen for a day but I'm noticing that it uses more memory than firefox unfortunately. browser choices seem so limited

there are so many incredible people out there. its hard for me not to be self-conscious about it. but I'm trying to remind myself that it isn't *weird* not to be incredible. rather, social media exposes me to all the supremely skilled and talented people out there all the time.

just learned about www.shadertoy.com. shaders are powerful and beautiful, huh? its so cool that they are just rendering in real time. maybe I should learn how to make my own.
I really like this one: www.shadertoy.com/view/Ms2SD1. makes me appreciate how games that render realistic water like this

Soooo... PayPal is banning Asahi Linux users. Hey, can you maybe not do that please?

Yes, they ban Linux users with a GPU name containing the string "Apple M1". Anything else works.

obsidian not letting you enable vim keybindings unless you can prove you know how to quit vim without saving is HILARIOUS. wish I took a screenshot of the dialogue box

woof. mindful/present thinking is tough. I drift off so easily into thinking about what I will do next or what I said in the past or what someone else might think in the future...
I will keep trying though!

i keep denying myself self-care and as punishment I further deny myself self-care. how counterproductive!
you deserve to take good care of yourself even if you haven't done so in a while. especially if you haven't done so in a while.

did those who have 100%ed silksong do so with or without a guide? would love to claim that cheevo for myself but I got to 87% without a guide and it was a bit tedious running around looking for something new to do when its all hidden from you

I will be gentle to myself when I don't take care of myself for a few days. no use punishing myself more for my mistake, simply do a care and then keep going from there. no need to wait for the next day, or even the next hour, I will just care for myself when I notice I haven't.
