I don't know how NaytaData made it, but if I were doing it, I would do something like this:

  • start with a "blank" un-coloured map of coastline and country borders
  • put all the "capital" cities on the map
  • make a temporary grid of points over the map and find the closest city for each point
  • paint the map based on those temporary grid points

I would use a computer but the same steps would work with paper & pen.

You say it's an unpopular opinion but the survey results in the linked article suggest that Britain generally agrees with you (52% responded "No, I do not" to the question "Do you consider listening to an audiobook as equivalent to having read that same book?").

The "yes" option was around somewhat less popular overall (29%).

I don't see it, sorry.

I'd prefer communities be more about concepts or places than specific brands or companies.

But even if the proposal were about a community for electricity or energy generally instead of a particular company... It's still a no from me. I don't really see either of those as topics that would attract much daily/weekly discussion.

Cheese with Japanese curry? Sounds pretty whacky, whatever shape it's in.

Also there's an elegant solution to keeping some rice visible out of the curry and it doesn't involve any extra ingredients.

Someone in another thread said that the source for Tiberian Sun has been lost.

Syncthing may not have its own Web-based file browser but a regular Web server (like Apache or ngninx) can show a list of files in a directory without much configuration. Just point it at a shared folder. You could configure a fancier file browser like Filestash, File Browser Quantum, or even Nextcloud if you feel it's worthwhile.

Likewise, Syncthing may not have its own concept of a "main" hoster, but it doesn't need to: you can decide what "main" means to you. Perhaps the one you designate "main" has different ignore patterns, or a longer retention policy.

"Keeping some files remote" can be simply making sure your ignore patterns are set how you want them, if that works for you.

How often do you "catch" a delusion, and how does it feel once you notice?

Like, do you find yourself saying something like: "hold on, that person probably doesn't actually want to harm me... that's one of those delusions isn't it?"

What's "soggy pastry" talking about?

Color codes will pass through pipes just like any other output.

In this case, your grep is being smarter than you want and actually parsing the incoming color codes itself.

You can try a simpler program like head, tail, or even sed -n /ii/p to see it for yourself.

You can also control GNU grep's color processing with --color but you may not find exactly what you seek.
