do git commit -v and then just summarize the diff you have in your editor in a human readable form.

What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

When you're engine braking—like when you downshift and let off the gas—the ECU often cuts off fuel to the cylinders. The throttle valve is also closed. In this scenario, your RPMs are maintained by the car's forward motion, which is connected through the drivetrain back to the engine.
So yeah, you're not using any fuel in that case, but you're still turning the engine over. The wheels are essentially driving the engine instead of the other way around. That's how you can have RPMs but no fuel flow during engine braking. The energy to keep the engine turning is coming from the car's inertia.
A common example would be going downhill. You downshift to a lower gear, take your foot off the gas, and let the engine do the work to help slow you down. You'll see the tachometer showing RPMs, but fuel flow is minimal or even cut off, thanks to our friend the ECU.

I don't think there's any point on spamming articles just for points since there's no algorithm that would weight their future posts higher. Please just assume the poster had good intentions and found it interesting and wanted to share.

I used to be a GNUCash user for 5+ years but I don't think it did budgeting very well either, let alone via the envelope method. Am I missing something there in the newest versions?

travel routers
I'm also currently exploring options for travel routers and am particularly interested in their interaction with captive portals.
My main question is: Are there any travel routers out there that offer the ability to automatically log into captive portals? This feature would be incredibly convenient for frequent travelers like me, eliminating the need to manually enter credentials each time.
Additionally, I'm curious if there are any plugins or software modifications that can be added to existing travel routers to enable this functionality. If anyone has experience with setting up a travel router to automatically handle captive portals, your insights would be highly valuable.

Are there enough people in here with an interest in meeting up to make it happen?

I'd say this is a lot more niche than Reddit and I'm a lot more likely to have someone in common with other people interested in FOSS/federated networks.

yeah, exactly. I don't know enough about the implementation details to know if it is actually consuming 0 fuel though but there's not much work the engine is actually doing.

[Question] using vim in iterm2 on osx as an external editor
Reply in thread
I'm having trouble figuring it out still. A lot of results are using appplescript and seem to interact with iterm2 different than I would with joplin. As an aside, I did learn a neat trick for configuring iterm2 to open a file in vim after clicking a filename in a terminal while holding down ctl.

I'm not exactly sure how it worked in practice, but if it's anything like simple aircraft engines with carbs, there's a mixture control that you'd use in addition to the throttle to control air intake.

Any reason why y'all as a community don't like this content? Is it because it's old? I indicated that in the title. I think it captures an interesting historical time and reminds us of things we take for granted now a days.

Sorry, I meant to mention in the scenario that you were already in climb out phase and potentially close to running out of runway if you try to land straight ahead.
