Really channeling Chris Boden there.

Syncthing. I’m not sure what I’d do without Syncthing at this point.

Yeah I usually think of the Raspberry Pi as a box for running Debian on.

You’d get the desktop version of Signal doing it that way.

I might struggle to make it the size of an iPod Touch but that’s not difficult to build out of a Raspberry Pi.

Fractal Design’s Pop cases have a 5.25" bay. It’s hidden behind a pop-off panel at the bottom, in the power supply basement.

Wisdom.

a baseball bat and ball costs $1.10. the bat costs $1 more than the ball. What is the price of the ball?

You’re talking about great circle routes, which is why long distance airplane flights look strangely curved on most flat projection maps.

What’s even more fun is Coriolis force, which in the Northern hemisphere will deflect your path slightly to the right. Pilots tend not to think about it because the wind is a much greater force for deflection but it’s there.

Red Hat and Ubuntu.

Put more delicately, you are a great big multicellular eukaryote, each of your cells has (or had, in the case of red blood cells) an inner chamber called the nucleus, and you’re full of mitochondria and other organelles. Your body is covered and filled with other organisms, many of them simple, tiny little single cell prokaryotes which make a living helping their gigantic, complicated host function. Like all the bacteria in your intestines that help you digest food. Their cells outnumber yours by a wide margin.
