To this day I still feel superior for knowing how to use the T9 when everyone else was mashing buttons like plebs.
- Comment on coping 1 week ago:
Everyone needs to watch BoJack. Everyone needs that trauma in their life.

This is a fan mod for Simpsons hit and run, FYI for those wondering
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 4 weeks ago:
It’s all good mate, we’ve all got over excited at times.
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 4 weeks ago:
The article says:
The S1500 features a main airfoil and an annular wing that together form a giant duct. Inside this duct are 12 turbine-generator sets, each rated at 100 kW.
That suggests to me (admittedly a layman) that each blimp is more like 1.2MW?
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I didn’t get taught any of the stuff mentioned for me either.
One thing I did notice that wasn’t mentioned was the tongue map, that I was taught about in the 90’s - you know the one that said that your tongue has different areas for detecting different kinds of tastes - sweet at the front tip, sour at the back, that kind of thing. All bullshit.

Up to GCSE advanced maths, if that means anything to you.
- Comment on yin yang 5 weeks ago:
If it’s any consolation, I suck at trigonometry!
- Comment on yin yang 1 month ago:
What’s wrong with probability? I found it once of the easier areas to learn, it’s just basic maths with different names.

You know exactly what I’m referring to
- Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation 3 months ago:
Yeah this sucks but honestly it never really worked well for me, ebooks are horribly underserved in the media world.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 5 months ago:
It doesn’t really matter if people stick around to play a single game, they’ll almost certainly explore other games and stick around for the service. That’s the idea I think they’re going for.
I’d be curious to see how many CoD players stuck around.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 5 months ago:
Game pass is a big success for them as far as anyone can tell.
- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 5 months ago:
Make sure your ublock lists are up to date, sometimes the extension gets a bit stuck and needs a nudge to update them.
It’s an arms race and Google hasn’t won it yet.
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 5 months ago:
I think it’ll be somewhere in the middle. Quite a few people have not had to deal with ads in streaming for many years now, if it’s suddenly forced it’ll piss off a lot
I don’t think they’re all going to suddenly pirate again, I think many will just switch to other streaming providers.
If they all start doing the shitty ads, we’re fucked.
- Comment on Gmail Is Now Using AI to Sort 'More Relevant' Results, But You Can Turn It Off 7 months ago:
Came here to say this, Gmail search has been basically broken for me for years. The preview suggestions when typing in a search query have been more accurate for me than the actual search.
I have a couple of old emails from 2020 that always appear in search results no matter what I search for.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 8 months ago:
Hmm sorry not sure why it would be complaining about an invalid path. Is it all paths that are invalid, or just the ones to your media?
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 8 months ago:
I don’t think you should be getting downvotes for having an opinion and I appreciate your reply.
However I do love a good debate - what’s the advantages for you for installing apps on “bare metal” (I’m assuming you mean a base OS install rather than actual bare metal). What about virtualisation?
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 8 months ago:
I’m also on emby and it works well for me. My main grievance is setting up a new device is a chore, “emby connect” is far too clunky to use so I end up configuring via URL every time - and on some devices that’s a real chore.

What’s wrong with docker?
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 8 months ago:
Let’s not rewrite history, 20 years ago desktop Linux was an absolute shit show.

Yup it’s great
- Comment on Let's Encrypt Ending Support for Expiration Notification Emails 8 months ago:
I use uptime kuma to check my certificate isn’t going to expire.
Also tells me if any of my services are down.

Yup I also use ntfy and it’s brilliant, easy to send notification events to it from almost anything and the android app is very responsive.

Another vote for restic, best backup software I’ve ever used.

There’s the nanokvm, similar idea but cheaper. I have one and it’s okay but a bit sore, I’m hoping the jet is faster
- Comment on KFC drops pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in the UK 11 months ago:
KFC’s reasoning is that the chicken supply industry hasn’t transitioned to more humanitarian chickens yet, but frustratingly the article doesn’t validate this claim.
It KFC is correct and they’re reliant on an industry that hasn’t got the supply it needs, then it’s impossible for them to meet the targets they set and it makes sense they would have to walk back the pledge.
However if the industry does have that supply, then KFC is full of shit.
So which is it?
