I got impatient waiting for the Steam Machine to come out and grabbed a BC-250 on ebay that was already set up with a case, fan, and power supply. Works great for reasonably demanding games (CONTROL, Elden Ring, etc.).
Now that I see the final price of the Steam Machine, I'm gonna be recommending the BC-250 more strongly.
I only buy sunblock from Korea and Japan that uses Bemotrizinol. Not sure where you got the idea that it wouldn't rub in, but I can confirm that it rubs in very well and doesn't stain white clothing like the avobenzone in US sunblock. The Japanese sunblocks feel light (not as greasy), smell better, and protect very well.
I'm really glad you mentioned this --- I've been looking for a Rust or Tauri-based Obsidian replacement for years, and this is almost everything I want (and much closer to what I want than Files.md).
Now that I'm playing with it, I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more traction on HN or Reddit.

Strictly speaking, Volcker caused two recessions (the first of which likely ended Carter's re-election prospects).
Although raising interest rates tamped down inflation on the demand side, we don't give enough credit to Carter for attacking the supply side by deregulating energy markets.
Carter typically doesn't get credit because prices didn't really ease until he was out of office. However, it looks like energy prices wouldn't have decreased if Carter hadn't deregulated the oil and gas industry, which allowed domestic producers to become competitive. (Ironically, Carter thought deregulation would raise prices and foster a move to alternative energy. Instead we got shale oil and fracking. Unintended consequences.)
Honestly, the Firefox feature-set it what prompted me to pick it up again after years of not using it.
- I wanted ad-blocking on Android, so I tried out Firefox on mobile.
- Then there were times I wanted to sync browser history/tabs between mobile and desktop, so I picked up Firefox on desktop again.
- I fell in love with reader mode (and using the narrate feature to listen to articles when my eyes get tired)
- I flirted with Zen browser, but now that Firefox has vertical tabs and tab grouping, I'm having trouble finding a reason to use Zen
Firefox basically does everything I want it to do, and it's incredibly rare that I need to open a chromium-based browser to handle something Firefox can't do.
It really shines on e-ink Android readers such as the tablets Boox makes. I almost exclusively use it on my Boox because the built-in reading app is terrible.
Koreader doesn't integrate with overdrive, but it's trivially easy to install it on your Kobo alongside the Kobo OS. You can continue to use overdrive on your Kobo and also dip into koreader for the better PDF viewer etc.
