What are you reading this week? [7/23/23]
  • Had to buy Red rising now that I read your comment, never heard about it. I recently read Hyperion as well and what made me suffer through the book was all the long ass descriptions of everything. The world is amazing and the story, but I’ll wait a while before I read the others.

    Children of Time is amazing! I’ve read Children of Ruin, the second book which is equally as great and just started on the third one. If you haven’t read it, then check out Three Body Problem. I found it better than Hyperion, although very dystopian and kinda sad. Good read though. Thanks for the recommendation.

  • What foods can last 3-4 days without refrigeration?
  • I highly recommend getting a gas burner, if you are comfortable with it. It’s great for cooking while camping. We’ve recently made tacos and risotto while camping. Also, depending on the brand/model, it works in most weather and you’re not reliant on gathering wood for a fire.

  • Self hosting SimpleX Chat server
  • I haven’t tried it, but I might give it a go sometime. I’m happy with SimpleX Chat for now. Only issue is of course to get others using it, which is basically impossible. A lot of people have adopted Signal which is great, but I don’t like that it is centralized.

  • Self hosting SimpleX Chat server

    Hi guys, I love this community. I am a total amateur but I self host stuff like Vaultwarden, Plex and Joplin.

    I’ve been looking at SimpleX Chat and thinking about hosting a server for personal use on my synology using either Docker or Portainer. Anyone have experience with this or know of a tutorial or guide? I’ve been looking around but the GitHub site I found seemed complicated.

    Thanks 🙏

    What book are you in the middle of reading right now?
  • Yeah. It’s crazy. But he really set up their story in a way that made me root for and feel for them. Cast unwillingly into this epic drama of species survival, it’s quite interesting. Also the story of the Gilgamesh was incredible. If you haven’t read the second book I really recommend it, I’m almost finished with it now and it’s definitely a page turner.

    Everything is linked in a way that really makes sense and there are some really cool twists that builds upon the previous book as I mentioned.

    If you have any recommendations of similar books or authors I’d really like to know!

  • What book are you in the middle of reading right now?
  • Yes. The first one is the origin story of the spiders, the second one builds off of that and has them traveling the universe with some friends. Meeting a new species and so on. Trying not to spoil it but if you like science fiction you’ll probably like it.

  • What book are you in the middle of reading right now?
  • For those interested in sci-if, I’m reading Children of Ruin, the sequel to Children of time written by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

    It is equally as great, if not better than the first book. Definitely hard science fiction, to me at least, but it’s a really immersive book. Highly recommend.
