Not much is more grating to me than when a site automatically pauses a video if it gets pushed to the background. Not every video needs you to pry open your eyes and watch every single second of it. 🙄

I appreciate that Pacman (at least on Manjaro) runs a Timeshift backup before you execute a system upgrade but man, it's really annoying that it does that absolutely every time...

One thing I never quite understood about the Bitcoin maxi crowd is its tendency to demonize precious metals. I understand the "no second best" argument (even if I don't completely agree) when it comes to other coins, but in my eyes, it'd be wise for everyone to save in both Bitcoin AND precious metals. Bitcoin is great for portability, integrity and sovereignty (especially if you memorize your seed phrase). It's a lot more practical in the day-to-day than gold and silver are. Plus, you can swap to other coins when necessary, including Monero if you want greater privacy. On the other hand, holding at least some of your worth in gold/silver/platinum is prudent because it's far more understood by the masses, it has had universal value for millennia, and it would still be completely usable in a crisis/collapse situation (as would hard resources like food/water/bullets). Yes, I'm aware of EO 6102 and the tyrannical crackdown that presented on the citizens' right to hold gold, but that's exactly why I say it's ideal to hold both and memorize your seed phrase especially if you store the bulk in Monero. That way, even if a despotic regime were to take your gold, silver or platinum, they can't take all of your worth. Just some thoughts I had as I was doing some research on the benefits of precious metals. 🤔

I set some stuff aside and jury-rigged a very ghetto setup so I could solder something, only to realize the solder wasn't melting properly. After some troubleshooting, I realized the tip of my iron is apparently dead. The solder would melt quicky when touching the upper part of the iron tip, but the part that you actually need for soldering wouldn't heat it up enough. So that's fun. Now to figure out what sort of tip I need for this thing (it was a gift, no idea what brand it is), check my local Lowe's or Home Depot to see if they have the right kind, and order one if they don't. Hopefully that'll fix it, I don't particularly want to have to buy a new iron. 🙃
