  The one advantage we have over the machines is that their chips are destructible. Can we stop this research?

  It might be able to do it but it’s absolutely the wrong tool for the job. That’s Adobe Illustrator territory for sure and maybe inkscape can do it (not familiar enough with it to be able to say) but vector art creation tools are what you really want for this kind of thing.

  Henleys and tees were traditionally undershirts as well. Fashion evolves. I would never wear a tank top outside of the house myself, but it’s still a shirt. Maybe a little trashy to wear in college but also, it’s where a lot of people test social norms to find their style. I’d say it’s fine.

  It’s not a hard science. It’s still a real science. Unless you’re a scientologist then your opinion didn’t matter anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there an emby app available or Kodi? The base of Jellyfin should work in either. Plug and play as far as I’m aware with maybe some issues for certain versions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mediawolf - Looking for contributers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I missed the Readarr part in my initial read through, but that is exciting. Jellyseer kind of has a recommendation section, mostly in popular and trending movies. I think it pulls from Trakt? Not entirely sure on that one. Either way, I’m looking forward to trying Mediawolf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mediawolf - Looking for contributers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or my favorite, Jellyseer. Seems to have mostly the same features. But I’m always looking for more and better.

  I’ve come to the conclusion that nextcloud is probably the best single Google replacement. “Old hardware” is a pretty broad definition, as I’ve still got Zip disks kicking around. But more than likely, you can run Nextcloud AIO reasonably well. The more RAM the better for sure. But you do get an online office, document storage and sharing, calendar, contacts, tasks (to replace Google Keep), text and video chat, picture storage, etc. Doing all of that really well can take a beefier machine, but keep things in perspective, be patient and you can at least get it going to see if you want to expand in the future.

  My preference is paying for Unraid and using spaceinvaderone’s Nextcloud AIO package and accompanying video tutorial is the way to go. Unraid isn’t free, but I highly, highly recommend paying for it as a platform. I feel like it still allows some challenges in getting things set up but in a more fun way to reduce frustrations. And Unraid just does so much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What host names do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I went with Willow related naming.

  My main server and NAS is Madmartigan. Proxmox server is Willow. Headless gaming machine is Sorsha. Bedroom/office laptop is Elora Danan Living room laptop is High Aldwin Then two raspberry Pi’s named Rool and Franjean.

  I’m not even into Willow that much, I just wanted to find a world of characters I liked.

  Based on the first episode of Diggnation reboot, Kevin Rose is just another empty tech bro now (maybe always?). I have zero positive expectations of this new Digg venture and that’s probably optimistic.

  😁 I think we’ve all been there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I might be able to help with Bazaar settings if you still want to try it. It took a lot of playing around with things, there weren’t any guides at the time I set it up. But I can send you screenshots of my settings and highlight the crucial settings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some decent comments here overall with stuff I bet would help you. But it sounds to me like you have lost the appreciation and rewards from life and the world around you. I would wonder if you have undiagnosed anxiety.

  This isn’t going to sound great probably, but the problem isn’t the world around you, it’s just you. The good news, ‘you’ is the only part of this you can fix. The rest, totally outside of your control.

  You need to retrain your brain. Slow down to appreciate the smaller things. Even the tiniest things. Read up on the raisin technique. I think raisins are kind of dumb, but apply it to everyday things. Go slow. Examine. Savor. Eat slowly. And with each bite think of the process that got that very thing into your mouth. From growing the ingredients, raising, milking, whatever. The process and storage, maybe inspection, transporting it to the store, you buying it and cooking it. The skill it took to do that and the history of you cooking to get there. It’s an awful lot packed into each bite. Do that with as many bites as you can. Be mindful. Repeat it. You don’t need a different thought every time. Just keep thinking it through. And apply that to more things throughout your day as you’re able to. It’s not an overnight process but it’s much faster than you might think to regain the value, passion for things. Do this people as well. Forgo the NPC thoughts, and delve in. How they got to be who they are. Ask questions over time and build a mental roadmap.

  That’s pretty much it. I could have easily written your post word for word a decade ago. With therapy and general learning, fighting anhedonia was a process. And still is. But I do appreciate things and I look forward to things. I often look forward the most to me not being me tomorrow but a slightly better version of me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landing page for all my services⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I use. It goes under the radar a lot and I don’t know why. I love that it shows me my sabnzb downloads and what streams are happening on Jellyfin at a glance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actual Budget is a fantastic FOSS budgeting tool that you can self-host⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I started using Actual about a week ago. Setup SimpleFin in a few seconds within a couple of minutes actual was auto populated. I ran into a syncing snag and messaged Simple Fin support. They worked with my credit union and I was all good in a couple of hours. Been running smoothly ever since. I really like it. And I don’t have the guilt of not budgeting anymore. Plus, ynab tutorials and advice are basically Actual tutorials.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Money isn’t necessarily a factor. I’ve paid for many services that have made business or operating changes to the point of needing to separate and then there’s WinZip on the other side of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do not know if the setting is an Entra setting, I don’t have access. I’m just friendly with IT. This is what I believe they were talking about given their description. But not tracking, no. It’s basically a here/not here situation. You’re either tethered to local networking or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not just a self reporting feature it seems. Our IT accidentally turned it on (as I understand) for a day by adding building info to one of the supervisors account. It then showed if you were in the same location (building) than your supervisor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be turned on by the IT dept in a large office. It has a different icon for in office network connection vs not. Not every IT dept uses it. Some treat other employees like adults, for instance.
