There is a setting now (in all types of client I think) to log out when you close down the browser. Your comment makes me realize that I probably want to NOT set that on at least one machine. I set that on the machines that are out and about.

Sarcophagus and grave goods of Crepereia Tryphaena

During the excavations carried out in 1889 for the construction of the Palace of Justice, the side-by-side sarcophagi of a man and a young woman were brought to light at great depth, identified by the funerary inscriptions as Crepereius Euhodus and Crepereia Tryphaena .
The discovery caused a huge stir at the time, since the young girl's sarcophagus, still intact, contained, in addition to the girl's mortal remains, also her funerary objects, consisting of gold jewels and precious stones, an amber distaff and by a very refined ivory doll with articulated limbs accompanied by small toiletries. The precious kit can be dated around the middle of the 2nd century AD. C. and attests to the wealth achieved by the Crepereii family , rich freedmen probably employed in the service of the imperial house, since the place where the tombs were found has been included in the imperial state property since the time of Nero.

For the server I've used gogs for many years. It was easy to set up and has a web interface. What client you use is really up to you with git.

It worked great for Rome for a long time, but yeah.

you mentioned you've used joplin. All my notes are in markdown and I've been using Obsidian instead. Obsidian includes support for mermaid and can render (relatively simple) flowcharts.

it might even be ridiculously simple given that ads almost 100% of the time have louder audio than the content by design.

and so, spent money to travel and presumably stay someplace and eat food which actually might be a net gain to the economy given (we assume) the days off work were PTO time that would have been taken anyway?

How much to just torture him for awhile?

Wow, how to bury the lede (lead): "On Monday night, Musk said in a post on X, the social media platform he owns, 'All US cars that are capable of FSD will be enabled for a one month trial this week.'

Watch out on the roads in April I guess.

I'm not sure about the current state of the science but there were a bunch of studies that showed that first contact with Europeans had transmitted smallpox as early as 1520 which over the next couple hundred years wiped out maybe 50% or more of the native population in advance of colonization such that later arriving Europeans had the mistaken impression that the continent had always been largely empty when some estimates put the native population pre-colonization at 120 million or more.

There's a quite famous sunken bed in the Beatles' movie HELP! It was in John's area: https://filmandfurniture.com/2016/09/beatles-help/

 

A man digging in his yard to build an extension of his house in southern Norway has unearthed the 1,100-year-old grave of a Viking warrior who was buried with weapons.
