Is the Amazfit Bip still a good choice for simple duration/route/heartrate/step/sleep tracking?

It works with gadgetbridge out of the box, with no need to connect with other software or create a remote account. 20-30 day battery life.

I saw the PineTime today, which looks interesting.

I've tried a Bip Pro, but it requires a connection and account before being usable with gadgetbridge.

What are the other options to consider? Which watches have higher accuracy for sleep/HR/step metrics?

I used it in a university course in '95, not sure what distro, but customising your shell prompt, and setting automatic timed updates for the wallpaper in tvwm certainly felt like the future. Different and electric.

We would play the linux shareware first release of quake in 12-16 player. Hiding the executable by renaming it ekauq... didn't work, still got removed from our directories.

There were installfests at the local LUG, which were a fun way to share tips and help others.

One Linux support business existed in our town in the 90s, installing and fixing Linux boxen for businesses. Mostly home/hobby use though.

Slashdot.org was covering the majority of Linux news. Either MS FUD or the nonsense SCO lawsuit, amongst all the positive advances.

Linux conferences were a fun way to make it more real and see many of the big names behind the movement and technologies.

Installed RedHat 4 or 5.1 around 98 and then found the power of Debian. Currently running Trisquel GNU/Linux because it is a fully libre distro with no proprietary blobs or other obfuscated parts.

Many thanks to RMS and all FLOSS contributors, there is such an incredible spectrum of tools available for free use. It has been great to see the progression and expansion over the decades.

So, which locations on Mars' surface are the most hospitable for this moss? (considering radiation, temperature and water levels)

Also, is a highly irradiated monoculture going to be a stable O2 producer, or is the species going to experience some mutated spinoffs?

Probably a simpler way would be to just start-the-reactor.

In the arcade it was infuriating and seemed a highly difficult 1CC, but compared to the whole spectrum of 80s arcade games it was good.

Was a good 2 player monster beat-em-up.

Here are some less mentioned FLOSS games, that are excellent quality:

Fillets-ng (2D fish sokoban)

The Dark Mod (3D stealth game, bow and sword)

Crrcsim (3D model glider flightsim, slope soaring)

Those soakable cloth neck-wraps work as a cheap personal cooler($5).

The Coolify2 works as an expensive personal cooler(~$200).

If you have a fridge, freeze 2 litre ice-cream containers filled with water to make large ice blocks. Then put the block in a tub to melt, and sit your feet on it to stay cool(budget-mode, $cost of tap water)

Know your enemy.

This video is an interesting behind-the-scenes look into the capabilities and senses of each different enemy in the 1993 videogame DooM.

A look at where consumer available FPS began with Maze Wars+ (1987)

Maze Wars+ was the first experience of a networked-multiplayer-graphical-game for many people, and completely mindblowing for the era.

I'm interested if anything was visible from the Perth metro area. Will it only show up in dark-sky places away from towns.

Can also post if you saw it anywhere else in WA too. Location, day and time etc.

A treasure from the past. Print run was 2.5 years through 86-88.

Lying halfway between Buster and Viz, was Oink! A cheeky, pig-themed, politically aware comic, that generated some hilarous lampoons of other comic strips and media personalities.

Great writers, who came from, and went on to do some further outstanding works.

Favourite strip was New Wave Dave.

c/comics says no NSFW in the community info.

Where is an appropriate place to post this? Can be on any instance.

More info: It is a one off art piece. Not an ongoing webcomic.
