  • Vit D is one of the easier vitamins in that you have to take ridiculous amounts over a long period for it to be a problem, while really small doses can still be helpful.

    1000mg daily is considered a lot and is used for treating a high/severe deficiency. Despite not being deficient to a diagnostic degree I take a pill now and then (every few days, whenever I remember) to make sure I’m not deficient, since my region doesn’t really get any sunlight this time of year. I guess it averages out to maybe 200mg daily.


  • All day every day. I’m a linux user both at home and at work. The only closed source software I use is Bitwig, steam, and (most of) the games I play.

    When I need software that does X, and I have multiple alternatives, my order of preference for exploring goes like this:

    1. Anything that can be installed via apt-get
    2. Same as above, but with added repos
    3. Something found on github with a release ready for download
    4. Same as above, but I build it myself
    5. Closed source
    6. Paid closed source

    (Notice how snap isn’t in the list?)

    Of course, quality of the software matters, which means the list isn’t 100% accurate in all cases. Bitwig is paid closed source, but I prefer that over Ardour, and it’s IMHO miles better.






  • I’m at a point in life where I’ve got most things that I need, so there’s not a whole lot frivolous spending to for me to do. When time allows and I have some extra money, I get another flight lesson logged. And once in a while I order another batch of electronics from digikey. Beyond that I mostly put money into upgrading the hundred year old house I live in.

    EDIT: And an obscene amount of PETG for 3D printing. But I feel that at this stage that’s almost like groceries at this point, as most of what I print is functional/useful stuff.
