Is it my imagination, or does seven eighths of human history, at its root, come boiling out of the Balkan Peninsula?

Not entirely sure why Iām doing this, but here goes-I need song suggestions. The general theme is: āTomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded timeāFirst track is Nine Inch Nails /Every Day Is Exactly The Same/Go. Or donāt. Your call.

One valid way to do this might be to just make the entire playlist covers of this one song. Hm.

Hi @ikenndac !I'm a user of Tofu (TOTP) and while I'm not experienced in Swift, I can see that the current Issuer Icon mechanism in Tofu is pretty simple (just an appropriate pngfile with the right name, right?).I have to manage a LOT of TOTP keys on a daily basis, so I'm keenly interested in radically expanding that library of icons and/or the matching mechanism.Before I fork a copy and start work, can you please confirm if there are any changes or upcoming releases I should be aware of, to avoid doubling up?Thank you!

Ahoy Free Fedizens! Does anyone know of any systematic comparative testing or review of laptop keyboards?I have clung to Dell laptops recently after a series of HP, Toshiba, Lenovo and MSI laptops proved to be total garbage in this respect.I would love to know if anyone is applying actual science to this issue.Indiscriminate boosts welcome!

I hereby move that where IT technical discourse has previously used the word āstackā it should henceforth use ājengaā instead.Likewise:framework -> tapestryparadigm -> buzzwordstrategy -> panic

@Unixbigot is there any kind of de-facto standard for the Bluetooth mechanism used to discover and configure IoT devices?

@GrimmReality mmm. Ok. Counterpoint:Hi, what if you could book one hotel room for your holiday, and for the price of a normal hotel room it will include free, excellent food and an outrageous number of friendly service staff. Every day when you wake up your hotel room will be in a different city.
