Of the multitude of hosting options, Gitlab Pages offers a great free option for developers to run small static sites and testing environments. Given the great number of configuration options, it can be difficult to find a succinct quickstart for Gitlab pages that actually gets you rapidly up and running. The linking of a custom domain name can furthermore be particularly troublesome, as Gitlab’s instructions may not work for your registrar.

Having discussed the status-quo money supply measures M0, MB, M1, & M2; as well as brief descriptions of their constituent inputs, we turn our attention the Austrian Rothbard-Salerno true money supply measure (TMS). It should come as no surprise that the Misesian Austrian economists disagree with the mainstream clown economists on what constitutes the money supply, which in turn defines inflation for the Austrian school. Elaborated here is the Rothbard-Salerno TMS measure.

What is the government money supply and why does it kill babies? From the most simple lens of supply & demand, the more of a commodity there is, the less that it is worth. While a bad artist may have a monopoly on their scarce art that few if any value, for something that people already value scarcity impacts price. If nanobots could replicate the Mona Lisa a million times, and mix them up so that the original is literally indistinguishable from the rest, you can bet the going price for any of them will go radically down.

The AR15 lower receiver is the legal heart of the rifle, being the only part that is legally “the firearm” and the only part that can’t easily be shipped to your door (in non-communist-oriented parts of USA). This article focuses on selecting a lower to start the build. Specifically on a “stripped” lower, or one that hasn’t had any additional parts added or attached (you’ll learn more by adding them yourself).

“For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.” -Sagan “Trust the science” as a referent to political pundits like Fauci who make scientifically unfounded claims such as “masks don’t work” prior to “two masks work better” before “stop the spread” (i.e. mRNA covid therapies reduce transmission) exemplify how in some sense we are living in a Scientific Dark Age.

A fun, potentially practical, radically upgradable, possibly 3d-printed, and relatively affordable blow-back operated pistol caliber carbine (PCC). This is potentially the most fun firearm I own, and one that is extremely easy for new shooters to use comfortably. Whether used as a home defense weapon, range toy, tool for teaching new shooters, or larping instrument; some of the myriad upgrades (many of which are quite cheap) can increase fun and utility of this firearm.

Dell XPS 15 9500 i9: what I thought was the most premium compact linux-capable laptop available. For linux I recommend against purchasing the i9 until wifi driver support is readily evident (presently no linux wifi support). Following are impressions of this machine, configuration possibilities, wifi issue information, and limited distro install information. Dell XPS 15 9500 i9: first impressions comparing to previously having Dell Precision 5510 pros exterior looks sleek and more robust than prior Precision looks like the internal hinge design might have been made more reliable vs.

GrapheneOS: a privacy focused android-based OS for your smartphone. This post covers its background, installation, and related applications. After getting fed up with Samsung’s un-deletable bloatware, random repetitive restarts, and blatant apathy for user privacy on a Galaxy S5 and then S9+, I decided I wanted to try something different. While I have a later batch Purism Librem 5 coming, these are ostensibly early beta-ish prototypes. Though Google has in practice clearly inverted their old motto of “don’t be evil”, the Pixel phones' modern feature package combined with a custom OS like GrapheneOS is appealing alternative.

This 3d printing calibration guide was created for prusas, and was specifically developed for a MK3S. This was developed when using firmware version 3.8.1. Topics covered include: idler tension, e-steps, filament thickness measurement, xyz / z-offset, extrusion multiplier, and linear advance. basic calibration idler tension start with completely loosened. use manual controls to move extruder motor, filament should not move because of looseness. slowly start screwing in screw until just grabs filament.
