      I want to try something new.

      The post quality on Tildes is way above average. I myself only post articles/videos on Tildes if they meet my internal quality threshold, of which Tildes is the highest of any social media I post to.

      I want to try to surface some of the quality. So, to that end, I'm trying a game. If it's successful, it'll happen recurringly.

      The rules

      Respond here with a post containing 1, 2, or 3 Tildes links. You are encouraged to give a short description of them and why you think they're of exceptional quality

      1. The links must ALL be Tildes links.
      2. The links can be of any type: Article, video, self-post, or even a truly outstanding Tildes comment. They can be very old or posted minutes ago.
      3. At least one of your links must originate from someone who isn't you.

      How to win

      Every game must have a winner. For this iteration, whichever post is top-rated by "most votes" as of 2 weeks after this submission will win (excluding myself and any meta posts). And because every game needs a prize, I'll give them a selection of my many unused steam keys.

      You are yourself encouraged to vote for replies that contain submissions you especially find of the highest quality!

      Reply All was consistently one of my favorite podcasts on my player. I've been a listener for years, and while risking sounding parasocial, I felt a huge loss when the show finally ended. There's something about the consistency of some content, and the nostalgia for the rough patches where that content helped make things easier, whether it be a podcast, TV show, or blog.

      It was that right mix of personality, investigative journalism, humor, and weird internet culture. I have a lot of alternatives in my player, but none of them seem to fill that RA-shaped hole. Here's what I'm listening to nowadays:

      • Underunderstood
      • You're Wrong About
      • Endless Thread
      • Darknet Diaries
      • Crypto Island

      Basically, I'm begging for podcast recommendations from shows you consider to be your favorite. Preferably, if you can include a recent, really good episode to get started with, I'll give it a listen and report back. Thanks!

      Hey all, I'm looking to expand my stable of long-form, "crunchy" reading material. I'll recommend three. ( I think I found all these through tildes.)

      Casey Handmer's Blog
      A blog about the new space industry with a specific focus on SpaceX and the industrialization of Mars.

      Construction Physics
      A newsletter that analyses trends and data in the construction industry with a focus on modular construction.

      ACOUP
      Essays about medieval and ancient history as well as their interaction with popular culture, with a focus on methods of production and common people in history.

      Another type of content I've really enjoyed is detailed breakdowns of zero-day vulnerabilities and large software catastrophies.

    24. Tool to open packaging on USB sticks?

      At my job, I'm opening a lot of USB sticks, and I was wondering if there was a particular punch tool or method to opening the packaging around the usb drives outside of the usual rip and tear.
