I’m deep down in the Snow Runner-trench. It’s like Euro Truck Simulator, but mud and snow and in a week I’ve already spent like 14 hours or so. It take sooo much time to get things done though.

Unexpectedly, it’s Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. I’ve always loved the movie and the book adds to it. A real joy to read.

It’s already being discussed to be put in law but people still aren’t rioting. Chat control 2.0 is just this.

I’m super happy with my Corsair FWIW

The webfinger includes the subdomain. So the webfinger would be either @user@mastodon.domain.com or @user@pixelfed.domain.com, given your example.

For this specific case (Pandoras Star) I urge you to push through. It took me half a year to finish it because it’s so much stuff that’s just boring in the first half of the book, but the later part of it definitely makes up for it. I’m reading Judas Unchained now even though I promised myself not to pick up a beast (800+ pages) for a good while.

Have you read it? I agree with OP that the first half is utterly hard to get through, but the second half definitely makes up for it.

I use Authy. I tried to migrate to using a Yubikey, but the Yubikey 5 NFC which I have has a limit of 32 TOTPs and I need to store more than that.

I really enjoyed Dark Matter and Recusion by Blake Crouch. They are both easy reads and near-future sci-fi. I love the humor in The Martian and that may be lacking in these, but they are real page turners non the less. Especially Recursion might be one of my recent favorites.

Didn’t expect Endurance to show up as a recommendation here, but you are absolutely right. Haven’t reflected on the similarities between the two but I loved every bit of both!

I have a Kobo Libre and with KoboCloud[1] it syncs automatically with Nextcloud and other cloud providers. It’s awesome.

Hacker news is based on an old version of Reddit. It's a great community for tech & programming news.

Thanks! Yeah I really enjoyed Dark Matter :)

I have a Kobo ereader at my bedside table and read almost every night in order to fall asleep, so when I dread picking that up I know I either have to double down and finish the book or drop it. So far it has only happened once in recent years. That time it was Salvation by Peter F Hamilton, a hefty chunk of a book. If it’s a novella I generally try to read more often just to finish it.

Hyperion is definitely on my todo list. I’ve heard so many good things from so many sources!

Plex pass includes the ability to use the mobile apps

I have had mine since early February and I still prefer it over gaming on my main rig. I bought it with me on my 3 week bike trip through all of Sweden even though it weighs more than my tent. I short, it’s one of my favorite buys of the decade.

Same. The procedure to install it was super smooth.
