Shift Happens tells the story of keyboards like no book ever before, covering 150 years from the early typewriters to the pixellated keyboards in our pockets.

GrandPerspective is a small utility application for macOS that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file's size. Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.

A Gemini page saver. Betula will one day get the ability to save Gemini documents btw, on an April's Fool's maybe :-)

I've noticed an article from 2022 with an interesting title and of course read it. Good points there.

What surprised me, is that the article mentioned... Me? An old forgotten Tanelorn post? What am I? Some world-renowned Markdown critic? It might be so.

If you're just starting to fall in love with tea, you might be overwhelmed by all its varieties and the terms used to describe it. This post is here to help explain it all.

Every year I'm left in the lurch wondering when tea will get its due. Delicious, ubiquitous, nourishing, gently stimulating, and rich with history and lore, to say nothing of glossy tools to drop money on, tea has everything you could want in an obsession-worthy drink. Here's why I'm so into it, and why I think you should be too.

This text is written for Americans, which makes it weird. What do you mean their teabags are forgotten and collect dust? But overall this is a good motivational introduction to Chinese tea.

I don't like this article, but the device itself is intersting.

A classic article that makes me wish Go had a proper type system

Using NetBSD and proxied by a Caddy installation somewhere else. No caching. Works well for some reason. A cheap VPS is still cheaper than what the author pays for electricity for this setup though, despite them saying otherwise.

I do love this thing. I've got an in progress application that collates news I would like to read into an epub. Putting that file on the Minimal Phone gives me koreader as my 'fidget' app. Instead of getting lured into an infinite scroll app, I just read some news I curated for myself. Hoping this drives my overall phone usage down.

Here lies a nearly-complete archive of Whole Earth publications, a series of journals and magazines descended from the Whole Earth Catalog, published by Stewart Brand and the POINT Foundation between 1968 and 2002. They are made available here for scholarship, education, and research purposes.

Not only that, but a good introduction to this device in general and the context around it. A good read!

Detailed Fediverse statistics

FediIndex data on Betula. Very interesting! 1.3.0 is still used by some, 1.2.0 has ceased to exist. Third of all instances are hosted in Russia.

I wish it knew more Betula instances though.

An older version of this article called it character rather than virtue. I think it was a better phrasing.

Computers were truly much more fun to me when I was younger, and that was when internet had become commonplace in Russia. I suppose the age is what matters the most.

Some parts (like the AI bit) didn’t age so well, but this is a fascinating piece by all means. I’m reading part II (the 2021 update) now.
