Thanks for sharing! I find what you have is really interesting.

Something I'm very curious about is how your wife is alright with the risk of them not choosing to be Christian and getting an eternity in hell? Is she a Christian universalist?

I think I sort of get where youre coming from. But my relationship with my parents isnt the kind where it matters if they know Im irreligious. It also isnt important enough to me that I would want them to know.

It's more that I don't want to ruin my relationship with them than that I rely on them or anything like that.

If I have kids I won't raise them by a religion or put them through the expected rituals, and my parents will notice that. Which would then force me to come out. So not ruining my relationship with them means not having kids.

I don't think I can ever let my parents know I'm an atheist and with that seems to go my chance of having kids.

Which got me curious: can any irreligious people on here who have kids while having religious parents share what thats like?

Would love to hear your stories or thoughts on this in general.

Proteus (closed source, paid) has a whole range of microcontrollers, and I've found it to be great (pirated it). There is also Simulide (open source) with a more limited bunch of microcontrollers which I havent used much but was pretty nice.

Both allow you to attach your MCU to external circuits with Proteus in particularly having a wide range of components you can use. They also have tools for measuring and oscilloscopes, etc.

Well here's someone putting unnecessary math into their sex scene:

I'm not sure how widely known this is, I'm hoping at the least some other beginners will benefit :)

SSD caching is when an SSD stores the most frequently used contents of a slow (but usually larger) hard disk. When attempting to access something from your hard disk, it will be fetched from your SSD if available, otherwise getting it from your HDD. All the while you will be shielded from this complexity and pretend to work off of the HDD (transparent caching).

Linux comes with lvmcache, which lets you do this with surprisngly few incantations in your terminal.

I had fun installing a distro making use of this (as expected performance has benefited quite a bit). If you are, too:

  • Guides on lvmcache assume you already know the basics of Linux's logical volume manager (lvm). There don't seem to be any that bring it all together.

  • On setting lvmcache up, the lvmcache manpage was nice and clear. RedHat's guide was good too. Other sources meanwhile were lacking in one way or another.

  • A volume with lvmcache set up, I learn that Ubuntu's nice-looking new installer doesnt support installing on lvm logical volumes. Frustratingly, everything online was on using the old installer, leaving me wondering where I had messed up so that my lvm volume wasn't showing up on my installer. Heads up.

Thanks for reading!

I took the lambdas in the username to mean theyre a functional programming fan, pretty sure they're joking.

So I forgot I made this post. Seeing a notification with your comment was ... something.

That icon goes way too hard for an uptime tracker.
