Obsidian might work for you
Surprised no one has mentioned The Expanse series. A ton of world building in very different kinds of environments. Space stations, small ships, big ships, generation ships, asteroids, moons, planets.
The environments are well thought out in how the residents would need to adapt
Columbus is a great little city in a not so great state. The local politics are quite progressive and the food and bar scene is quite nice. There was a decently sized queer community when I lived there a decade ago, and I’d expect it to continue to flourish as long as a major university is nearby.
Winters are cold. Summers are hot. The weather is what it is 🤷🏻♀️
I wonder if you’d like Sleigh Bells. Twee pop vocals over grungy guitar. A lot of fun
Gosh. I hadn’t thought about Indian in the cupboard in years
Not OP, but I almost exclusively read novels and non fiction via audiobooks. For context, I’m on pace for 70 books this year.
My main reason for audiobooks is I having a driving commute. Two hours a day round trip. Audiobooks keep me sane in a way that podcasts or music do not. I also do audiobooks when doing chores around the house.
Second, I struggle to focus on reading a book on my phone. Too many distractions and I think the reading experience is subpar. I do have an eInk reader, but I haven’t charged it in years because it’s easier to do audiobooks.
Physical books are rare in my home, but that’s a self-reinforcing cycle since I enjoy audiobooks so much.

A six year old game for 1% of the nominal cost looks better
The problem with China’s real estate market is that it’s entirely built on false promises and leveraged debt.
The government provides cheap loans to citizens to buy homes they will never live. All in an effort to drive the country’s GDP… but eventually you will either:
This article has nothing to do with unhoused people, nor an overvalued housing market pushing out middle class buyers. The economics of the Chinese market are completely dissimilar from the western (US particularly) markets.
It’s entirely about how the Chinese government has an unsustainable market segment dedicated to building things that people don’t want or need… other than to have wealth on paper.
I went to grad school during the ‘08 housing crisis because there were not many jobs available for early career folks. The program was a combination of technical networking (Cisco) and business acumen.
Classes were longer seminars, much harder than undergrad with an intense focus on the subject matter rather than superficial discussions. Projects were also longer/harder including a thesis (~100 pages, 6 months of work)
I learned A LOT. I networked with industry folks and continue to engage with the alumni community. I’ve helped 5-6 grads land their first job.
After a few years working, I did an MBA part time (nights and weekends). That was similarly challenging and I also learned a lot.
I would recommend working professionally before a grad degree unless you’re in a specific industry like bio/chem research, math, psychology etc. basically industries where you require a Ph.D to do anything.
Do your best to get a graduate assistantship to offset the expense of the program OR work with an employer for continuing education.
Not a direct answer to your question, but I read How to be Perfect last year. Michael Schur (creator of Parks and Rec) wrote the book as an exploration of the research they did to make The Good Place.
It’s a survey of philosophy for non-philosophers and does a great job breaking down how to make good choices without being preachy.

Why do you need a VPN and not a reverse proxy and dyndns?
My setup uses some docker containers to:
We are still in the early days of the fediverse. Once this thing gets figured out and stabilized, I think we could see some progress in consolidating duplicate communities…
But does the broader group of users want this model?
I would rather see instances focused on topics with niche communities within them.
For example, a lemmy.POLITICS instance with communities for WORLD, US, EU, LATAM, etc
