  • Mostly I just want videos that aren't compressed into oblivion

  • If you read the article, they link to a tweet where he discusses it at length on video.

  • I am very sorry. Sending my best to you!

  • I found the present stash when I was about 5-6 years old and spent a few years continuing to go through the motions of Santa, playing dumb. I was also told by a non-Christian kid around that time that Santa was fake (not sure which came first). It made me very upset for a day, which is why I remember so clearly, and then I realized either way Christmas is still great. I'm glad I played dumb, for my sister's sake, and I think my parents got a kick out of it.

  • I use self-hosting for home assistant and jellyfin (behind two duckdns domains). I started to add more (Joplin server, Immich, tiny tiny RSS etc.) and found my workload increasing a lot, So I've paused that effort for now. For Joplin, I use syncthing with my Pi as a hub instead, which is much simpler.

  • I am a caregiver for a person with rare b-cell lymphoma (chronic illness, treated with a biologic drug rather than chemo) and I've noticed 90% of people don't understand what chronic cancer means. People can't really comprehend someone being better than on their deathbed but much worse than their "normal" health and energy level, and that state will never end. I think popular culture portrays cancer as either "about to die" or "in remission", rather than showing portrayals of the weird in-between state many patients find themselves dealing with.

  • Most of the streaming sites are serving ads from the same subdomain these days. I think Paramount might still be separate? But causes issues when you try to log in as well, so have to pause Pihole to log in. Then ads are (sometimes) blocked :)

  • I use syncthing to sync it :)

  • Damn, that was his last post. Pretty eerie. Seems like there are worse ways to go

  • I just tested and none of the pop-ups appear when searching "download Firefox"

  • I'm not really appalled. Just find it notable that Microsoft has four click throughs to try to nudge people towards Edge. Seems almost like desperation

  • The mainstream GOP position is mass disenfranchisement, so it's not surprising. I am very proud my vote helped flip AZ blue in 2020. Hope they impotently rage about it forever.
