Good morning.

This KVM project using a pi in gadget mode is cute: https://mtlynch.io/tinypilot/

(I think it could be cuter, tho, and more featureful, so I may have some parts on the way to come up with its beefier cousin, since I could use a nice KVM for the lab)

Read and understand these different Symptom clusters that Covid-19 presents as.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/17/covid-19-symptoms-falls-into-six-different-groupings-study-finds-coronavirus

Understand likely outcomes and necessary courses of action.

The most relevant info:

The six groupings, or “clusters”, are:

• Cluster 1: Mainly upper respiratory tract symptoms, such as a persistent cough, with muscle pain also present. About 1.5% of patients in this group required respiratory support, with 16% making one or more trips to hospital. This was the most common cluster of symptoms, affecting 462 participants.
• Cluster 2: Mainly upper respiratory tract symptoms, but also a greater frequency of skipped meals and fever. Of patients in this group 4.4% required respiratory support, with 17.5% making one or more trips to hospital.
• Cluster 3: Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea, but few other symptoms. While only 3.7% of patients in this group later needed respiratory support, almost 24% made at least one visit to hospital.
• Cluster 4: Early signs of severe fatigue, continuous chest pain and cough. Of patients in this group 8.6% required respiratory support, with 23.6% making one or more trips to hospital.
• Cluster 5: Confusion, skipped meals and severe fatigue. Of patients in this group 9.9% required respiratory support, with 24.6% making one or more trips to hospital.
• Cluster 6: Marked respiratory distress including early onset of breathlessness and chest pain, as well as confusion, fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms. Almost 20% of this group needed respiratory support and 45.5% made one or more visits to hospital. But this was the least common symptom cluster, affecting 167 participants.

Even *my* brain knows I don't have enough time to play with this yet.

But maybe somebody else out there wants to play with a Rust-backed alternative to Electron for desktop JS apps?

“If It’s Inaccessible To The Poor It’s Neither Radical Nor Revolutionary.”

This is honestly my biggest problem with silicone valley and start-ups in general.

Cutting edge tech is cool and exciting but it's not a revolution until everyone can get at it.

The potato farmers have a gofundme set up to help the farmers offset the expenses of having all these potatoes cleaned and bagged for folk on top of not getting paid for the potatoes themselves, so if you are in a position to help the potato farmers out in return for their kindness, you can do so here apparently (linked from the official potatoes.com blog, actually): https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-washington-potato-growers-feed-those-in-need

Firestorm Books and Coffee in Asheville got robbed unfortunately, but their response to it was absolutely awesome.
