What’s the point of leaving a teeny tiny artifact of memories of a human being in the form of an article on this website that no one will read? Probably none, I just do it for myself. Or maybe just to process what I experienced.

Also I guess to subconsciously coax more people to do it? This is a fascinating concept and I wish something that was replicated widely.

Last Friday, I drove from Corvallis to Portland to help my cousin, Duane. Duane has been living with throat cancer for several years now, but in recent months

I used the Tomorrow app to set one up for my family a few years ago. Also last year, I setup an End Plan Document to help them pick the loose ends. Honestly, it’s helped me document things better.

Email encryption

Replied to Sending end-to-end encrypted emails using Thunderbird (OpenPGP). by Atchuth (A new dimension)

Mozilla Thunderbird makes it extremely easy to send end-to-end encrypted emails using OpenPGP. In order to do this, both the sender and the receiver will need to generate a secret and public key pa…

@Alligator Blender should be able to handle something like this.

It’s been a few years since I used Samsung Dex. After watching a video of it, it looks impressive. Unfortunately, I use an iPhone. Why can’t we use our phones as computers? I’d love to just plug my phone in at work or at home and not have to carry a laptop.

My alternative is to switch to Android, and then I could use Dex. But iMessage has a lock on everyone in our family, so I would be the odd one out. I want to fit in, yet I also desire to try new things.

@Alligator I’m glad I got most of my family off apple a few years ago.The ecosystem and apps are great but there’s so little room for fun tweaking. I’ve had my eyes on Dex and Ubuntu’s convergence for a while too. For now though, I’m happy with my modular workstation setup. Another stream of thought…
