Yes, it’s in the same space as Gibson’s GRC DNS Benchmark — that tool has been around for years and set the standard for GUI‑based testing. This project takes a different angle: it’s CLI‑first, scriptable, and adds modes for quick checks, deeper benchmarks, and ongoing monitoring. So it’s more aimed at automation and sysadmin workflows than interactive GUI use.
There are 'best to brush' timelines around eating/drinking. Usually you want to either:
- Brush no less than 15m before eating
- Do not brush until 45m+ after eating
I don't fully understand the science, as I'm not a dentist, but it's something related to the way that things stick to/are absorbed by enamel and dentin.
I believe water is the exception here, you can drink water and then immediately brush. You should not brush and then immediately drink water though. You want the toothpaste to stick around and form a barrier.
Supposedly, after eating the pH in the mouth drops and becomes more acidic, which softens the enamel, so brushing will do more harm than good. That's my understanding.
Not a demo necessarily but Miles In Transit - a delightfully nerdy public transit YouTuber - did a live stream playing the game early a couple of days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3RrlV9YrS4
The idea is to be a space where existing social groups play, rather than a wider community - it's inherently based on a level of pre-existing trust. Writing about it is supposed to be an incentive for people to build their own little spaces where they can share weird stuff that should never be near the public internet - it's cool to have a network of thermal printers that people can submit jokes to, but it only really works if access is somewhat limited.
The SIP "redphones" is an idea I really like. My wife managed to get a SIP IP phone from one of her buy-nothing groups that I've been meaning to setup an Asterisk server for just to mess with. Maybe stick it upstairs where my kid likes to play & let him get the experience of using a "real" phone.
It is pretty funny to be able to dial an extension from your desk phone to get the IVR of paultag's Christmas tree, but man does managing asterisk suck.
>As a result, membership will never be open, and we will never have enough connected LANs to deal with the technical and social problems that start to happen with scale. This is a feature, not a bug.
>This is a call for you to do the same. Build your own LAN. Connect it with friends’ homes. Remember what is missing from your life, and fill it in. Use software you know how to operate and get it running. Build slowly. Build your community. Do it with joy.
I can recommend dub techno for coding, works a treat for me at least. Nice and steady, relatively fast tempo but not too aggressive or intrusive. And crucially, no lyrics, which I find distracting when coding or writing.
Yes. The paper found 2.4 Hz frequencies to be the secret sauce which is 144 BPM and in pystrance/goa range. I would guess that is common freq range for lfos and modulations as well.
Not an artist per se but the app Endel is this continuous generated music with different "scenarios" for... well... different scenarios. IMO the full continuity is a game changer for focus.
