“The unread story is not a story;
it is little black marks on wood pulp.
The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin, Dancing at the Edge of the World

We are not resting to be productive.
We are resting simply because it is our divine right to do so.

Scared is what you’re feeling.
Brave is what you’re doing.
A good book gets better at the second reading.
A great book at the third.
Any book not worth rereading isn’t worth reading.
— Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Badly mangled my espanso config today.
On a day, I have no time to breathe.
Fired up Timeshift, restored the file.
Espanso is back in business.
Take regular backups, kids!
(And test ’em too!)

Moved my secondary terminal emulator from Terminator to Tilix today.

“There is and can be no ultimate solution for us to discover, but instead a permanent need for balancing contradictory claims, for careful trade-offs between conflicting values, toleration of difference, consideration of the specific factors at play when a choice is needed, not reliance on an abstract blueprint claimed to be applicable everywhere, always, to all people.”
