  Shit why am I thinking DJ Sammy? Old man moment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to code ringtones into peoples phones in exchange for cigarettes.

  Last Resort by Papa Roach was most popular followed by Better Off Alone by DJ Sammy, because they both sounded killer in twangy Nokia synth.

  Urgh, I don’t really have time to do this migration but guess I’m planning it in anyway.

  Past me was a lazy bum. But I’m confident that future me is all over this. Time for a nap.

  I’ve added it to the starred map! Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We went to Stuttgart, Baden Baden, and then took a long car trip to Munich. We stopped at some little towns here and there too but I don’t remember all the names. And we crossed into Luxembourg briefly if I recall correctly.

  I’d recommend all of them but the Baden natural spa is something to behold and the town itself it impossibly beautiful in places.

  Next time will likely be the north end of the country. I’d love to go to Hanover as my mother lived there as a child while her father was on assignment post-war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a bad joke about most of the stalls being run by (lovely and very generous) immigrants and the rest of the markets being tourists!

  In reality everyone we met was lovely. The food was to die for. And it snowed. 10/10 trip honestly and looking forward to going back soon!

  I went over to the Christmas markets for a week, a few years back. As a result, I did not meet any Germans and am unable to answer the question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK government suggests deleting files to save water⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The country is riddled with leaky mains pipes because water companies are more concerned with allocating huge bonuses to themselves than they are with fixing infrastructure.

  Now we’re courting tech companies to build more data centres that our other shitty infrastructure (electric) isn’t even fit to support.

  This is mandated recycling 2.0. Fill supermarkets with products 99% of which come in plastic wrappers, only successfully recover a fraction of that, and then tell the consumer they’re the ones destroying the environment.

  If they can fit my 5 recycling boxes up their rear, then they can shove this up their arse too.

  I mostly don’t! The kids are too young, the wife has Home Assistant, Symfonium and has web shortcuts for the arrs. Haven’t had any complaints since I got 2FA and external domain mapped for Hass.

  My friend has had good results with jellyseerr with his wife and kids though haven’t got to the point of needing it myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with useful suggestions like these is that they can’t be used when the MO is to shove AI into everything and anything to seem relevant, and chase the pot of cost savings at the end of the rainbow which is totally gonna turn up any day now, we think, we’re pretty sure anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I scrobble with Last.FM for music discovery.

  I don’t really use social features and not sure if they’re popular in homelab land. Some people I know share a Plex server.

  I’m not a purist about these things tbh, I have an Xbox live subscription, among others, to use social features for pretty much the same reason you’re using Spotify. I might have stuck with them if I was using them more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  • Diablo II
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Halo 3

  I don’t get to play games much nowadays but I was a rank 50 lone wolf back in the day. Good times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair, I should clarify: the few hours is for the music parts only. The homelab set up could easily stretch to months … And I’d still recommend doing it to most, it’s great fun setting it up!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ditched Spotify and bought myself a galleon and a tricorner hat instead. Haven’t looked back.

  Lidarr + Navidrome + Feishin + Metube

  Mullvad for acquiring, TailScale and Symfonium for listening while away from home

  This sounds like a lot of setup but probably took a few hours in total to set up the various docker images and get them working together.

  I spend my saved money on vinyls, official merch, and SoundCloud or BandCamp purchases for my local library.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High quality sticker though⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I made the mistake of buying a Sonic the Hedgehog sticker pack off Amazon for my kids. Honestly it could have been worse, given how hard Sonic “fan art” goes.

  Oh wow, I had literally the same experience, Sonic stickers too. Thankfully I had a quick look through before I threw them in with the Mario and Pixar stickers, and noticed Amy had some “interesting poses” … And it kind of got worse from there.

  It was my first head-shaking “wtf is wrong with people” moment as a father so I guess there’s that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The use of the term “Dark traffic” here is to paint the use of ad-blockers as something nefarious. Don’t use it, fuck these people right in their stupid mouths.

  I propose using the terms “clean traffic”, for ad-blocked website traffic, and “dogshit traffic” for everything else.
