New post: Why I Still Use RSS
@dan Hey Daniel! I use Zwift on Windows on my X220, and it works pretty well. Granted, the framerate is not great (probably ~15FPS when there's a lot of cyclists around), but it's more than enough to make me happy. I mostly look at the screen to check for power output (watts) and my position around friends with whom I ride, so I don't really notice the "far from 60fps" framerate. Not sure about Linux though, never tried it, but this seems promising: https://zwiftinsider.com/zwift-on-linux/
Ride on! :)

Excellent interactive tutorial on cameras and lenses by @BCiechanowski (thank you for taking the time to build this!).
I learned about Bayer filters, what will you learn about?

@jlkuester7 Of course! Thank you for maintaining Unlauncher, really appreciate it. Can I donate something to express gratitude for the benefits I gained from using this launcher?
Just wanted to give @vaillancourtmax a belated 👍 for his shout-out of Unlauncher [https://jkuester.github.io/unlauncher/] (the minimalist Android launcher I maintain) in his post on "Turning my smartphone into a boring tool" [https://maximevaillancourt.com/blog/turning-my-smartphone-into-a-boring-tool].
It is great to see more people interested in using a smartphone as a "tool, not distraction"!
Look no further: the @changelog t-shirt is the most comfortable piece of clothing I've ever worn. Thanks for the gift, Changelog team! 🙇

Earlier I posted about connecting a grain dryer to the Internet. Yes, for real.
I just published a blog post explaining how we did this because there's a tremendous lack of agritech documentation online. Hopefully this is useful to someone out there! 🚜
