Submission + - "Analog bags" are in. Doomscrolling is out. (axios.com) 1

alternative_right writes: The latest must-have accessory is a "stop-scrolling bag" — a tote packed with analog activities like watercolors and crossword puzzles.

"I basically just put everything I could grab for instead of my phone into a bag," including knitting, a scrapbook and a Polaroid camera, says Sierra Campbell, the content creator behind the trend.

Stop-scrolling bags fit into a broader revival of analog hobbies, led by younger people, that researchers say is less about trendy nostalgia than embracing a pre-digital, pre-AI world.

My (Japanese) wife and I got married in Spain. Then we just registered the "already existing" wedding in Japan, and that's it!
It can be a romantic alternative for Japanese couples: instead of getting married before the wedding trip, get married during the trip. They have Hawaii quite close, which is a very common holiday destination for them, so it shouldn't be that difficult.

I've forgotten the name of the company now, but there was a presentation at the Linux conference last year (two years ago, maybe?) in New Orleans that talked about this very topic, and they (or someone else that approached me afterward because I asked a question about it) said that their company was making switching hardware that did stuff in kernel-space, maybe with a proprietary module. This is key here... you can stuff a bunch of NICs in a box and use brtables or whatever and make a switch, but that's going to be dog-slow. ASICs are needed, and at least that one Linux company is making them.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I also use Kerbal Space Program for my deep space observations.
Can you prove that the Universe does not contain some part which exactly matches what you can see on KSP? We only need to find where it is, but I leave this work to people with better telescopes and more time to search.

He is an excellent astronomer, but he is totally null when it comes to computers (he says: "Computers smell fear and attack me when I'm around them"), so I usually give him a hand to setup the system to capture images and post-process them. Also, we share some excellent whisky while we observe the skies at his home (which is about 1/4 mile-400m away from mine, so we meet pretty often). This is a (not-so-good) picture of his home site, built by himself.
