There’s an astonishing good balance of density and clarity of information needed to make these useful. This then also has to translate across both physical and screen forms.
Chart 5011 has a great breakdown on the depth of symbology too.
I've run Nextcloud for years primarily for webdav file sync and calendar+contacts. It pretty much just works. That's not to say there isn't any jank, but it's mostly if you try the more obscure apps e.g. I've set up the phone track feature and it worked for a while, but I've had trouble with it recently. Probably fixable, but I just haven't spent the time.
I would say it is the core component of my self-(vps)-hosted setup and easily the most valuable.
Even though this isn't a fully-fledged industrial system, I like the thought they put into those aspects. Particularly, I want to make a homebrew PLC myself someday and the 24V IO board they made would be a nice starting point for that.
The reason you would trust and FPGA more than a SoC is because putting in backdoors in an FPGA is much harder. If an FPGA is backdoored to the point where any soft core (whose layout kind be randomized to some degree) is compromised, then that would likely be obvious from the kind of inspections Bunnie has written about: https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/2023/infra-red-in-situ-ir...
I think pen-and-paper one-time pads are an underestimated tool for private communication. Granted they are cumbersome and limited, but they provide almost perfect secrecy and bypass issues of compromised computers completely. And with some basic steganography (section h in the guide below has a good example), you can pretty easily hide when / who you're sending a message to. 'The Complete Guide to Secure Communications with the One Time Pad Cipher' is a really good resource: https://www.amrron.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/one_time_p...
Some others have mentioned SomaFM and the Apollo missions separately, but SomaFM has a station that combines ambient music and the Apollo mission audio: https://somafm.com/missioncontrol/
Soma is such a great station! If you are a Hardcore listener some channels might appear a bit repetitive from time to time but in my experience this self corrects over time.
I'm currently doing this and personally I believe the dates and names approach is best (depending on your goals). The theory is that if you have a solid grasp of the coarse details like births/deaths/major battles then when you are reading about the more subtle ideas (like what factors caused the fall of the Roman empire) you will be able to couch those ideas in the concrete framework you've already built. Then those ideas will be able to stick better.
I've only been doing it for a year and change so we'll see how it goes, but I think it's a good approach.
I think people should seriously consider using something like passphrase2pgp [0] in addition to a hardware key like this. That way you can have a brain key (hopefully generated with diceware or equivalent) to tie together day-to-day keys like this to a more permanent identity. I'm honestly surprised that strategy is not more widespread.
