Like a kid in a superfoods candy store

I get about half of my superfoods from Z-Natural Foods . The rest I get from Walmart (surprisingly), Natural Zing, or other random places around the Internet (even Etsy at times). The best deals and variety seem to be found at Z-Natural Foods , however. Let's see what was in my latest order: Chaga Mushroom Extract Powder - Organic - 1 lb Instant Mushroom Coffee - Organic...

Ebay Sales

I have love/hate relationship with Ebay . On one hand, I can find really great deals on hard-to-find items. Often better than any local store or garage sale. I've picked up laptops for $0.01 (not counting shipping, which was affordable anyway). I can get high top Vans for under $30, shipped to my door (sometimes new, often in great condition). You can get out-of-season holiday candy. I just bought some Cadbury Mini Eggs for...

New Static Blog for 2024

Last year I was using Dotclear for my blogging. Side note: I find it interesting that their main site at dotclear.org, which uses its own software I'm pretty sure, is down at the time of writing this. Good thing they have a GitHub account. At some point, the site started serving up the White Screen Of Death. I decided then that I...

Slackware-Libre BASH script

A script to liberate a stock Slackware-15.0 installation. Motivation:  Freenix never released an iso for 15.0.  That inspired me to write a script that could transform a stock Slackware installation into something in the spirit of Freenix. Note:  This is NOT endorsed by Slackware proper (but I do thank Pat for all his hard work).  This NOT endorsed by Freenix.  This is NOT endorsed by the...

Hardware choices in 2023

What am I computing with these days? ARM64 never lived up to the hype, Intel Atom is showing its age.  But, finally, System76 is shipping free/open firmware.  And now I'm mining DERO. Background: Libreboot, ThinkPads, and all that. Back at the end of 2017, I was fairly satisfied with my ThinkPad x200 running Freeslack 14.2 and Libreboot.  It served my needs, was \"

My UNIX usage in 2023

The state of Freenix / Freeslack, Slackware, and the *BSDs (and other contenders) in 2023. I was a Linux distro hopper from 2009 to 2013, when I started mining Bitcoin.  At that point, I was using Ubuntu and Arch Linux, mostly.  However, I had trouble getting my mining rig to start automatically, and I eventually narrowed down the problem to a lag in systemd...

A Case Study in How to Not Do Online Tutoring

The Varsity Tutors vs. Wyzant online tutoring showdown!      This year, I have been tutoring online (mathematics mostly) using two completely different platforms.  Allow me to break down the pros and cons of each platform, both as a tutor and as a learner. VarsityTutors.com:       VarsityTutors.com is an \"AI-driven" platform, meaning that it is all just automated scripts and emails running on a server somewhere, collecting revenue for the passive owners who have...

2022 - A Year In Review

     In the early part of 2020 my wife got the idea to buy an undeveloped piece of land to start building our dream home on. She searched around online, and found the two adjacent one-acre plots for sale in the Sangre de Cristo mountains (near Mineral Hill, NM) that we eventually ended up buying with inheritance money around June of that year. We were able to get the two acres for close to $28,000....
