"Conflict is essential to human life, whether between different aspects of oneself, between oneself and the environment, between different individuals or between different groups. It follows that the aim of healthy living is not the direct elimination of conflict, which is possible only by forcible suppression of one or other of its antagonistic components, but the toleration of it—the capacity to bear the tensions of doubt and of unsatisfied need and the willingness to hold judgement in suspense until finer and finer solutions can be discovered which integrate more and more the claims of both sides. It is the psychologist's job to make possible the acceptance of such an idea so that the richness of the varieties of experience, whether within the unit of the single personality or in the wider unit of the group, can come to expression."
Marion Milner, 'The Toleration of Conflict', Occupational Psychology, 17, 1, January 1943

no way I'm going to give that character my content or
collaborate in anything he owns or has a stake in.

Having said thus much by way of introduction, I commit the following to the candour of the Publick.
Helu! I'm Thomas.

'carbocation (many others who don't post often enough to call out like this).
Interests: Everything GNU/Linux related, Video Games, R, Python, Open Pandora & DragonBox Pyra, Raspberry Pi. Data analysis with R is for professional purposes while I also enjoy casual Python programming.
I started my computing life on the ORIC-1, followed by the C64 and of course, the beast that was the Amiga (best memories ever).

A set of email extensions that make it possible to run a PKI over SMTP, making email privacy easy to achieve.
And, besides the extra privacy, the PKI needed shared data and access control, what led me to create a DAV-like system, that lets you share your mailbox over the net, by granting capabilities.

A CRUD generator for DJANGO, 'cause I couldn't find any good one.
If you want to contact me, find me on the web. I am
especially interested in math, juggling, programming,
and education, and since there are other people with
my name you'll probably need to include at least one
of those terms in any search.
I was once a prolific contributor and commenter, but
no more. I go through bouts of submitting stuff, but
then go and disappear for lengths of time. If there
is something you'd like me to see or comment on, you
can email me. Don't ask me to upvote things. If it
is interesting (to me) then I will.
Submissions do not imply endorsement.
To contact me about the idea of spaced repetition by
email experiment, use this address:
SR_Expt@solipsys.co.uk
My spam filtering is pretty severe, but I've put the
word "Dysprosium" on the allow-list - quote that and
your email will get through.
(Note: That email address has been harvested, and is
now receiving invitations to blogs, etc. If you want
to get in touch, quoting the element name is needed)
I used to have an email here but it got harvested by
spammers - I'm looking at you, mbientlab.com - so it
has been removed. This is a temporary one:
HN_a7dab854@solipsys.co.uk
Update: That email address has been harvested and is
now being spammed. Emails sent to it will result in
the sender being blocked. To send me email, add one
to the username. That will get you automatically on
the allow-listed.
