- Comment on Netflix mulls introducing free ad-supported tier. The circle is complete 3 days ago:
I'm not streaming it, it's on my media server, so there are no ads. I don't pay for any services except Shudder because it's still cheap and niche.

Same, been watching Dead Like Me and Xena: Warrior Princess and it's pretty distracting when it happens.
- Comment on Why is this the only working proxy for Twitter... 4 days ago:
Why not try running your own local instance of Nitter? No Nazis that way. I would if I used Twitter more.

FWIW, these are effective only when both are used on the same circuit. If you live in an older home, the chances of this being the case are higher.
My entire apartment, except for the washroom, is on the same circuit. It also means I can't run an air conditioner without tripping the breaker. :|
- Comment on What tool do you use to display your self-hosting infrastructure 1 week ago:
I use Cockpit to manage my system and containers and Dashy as a browser dashboard. It's similar to Heimdall but more minimal.
I also run Otterwiki and I'm planning on documenting my setup, but I haven't got around to it yet.
- Comment on Dust. 1 week ago:
It's not the ash, it's the tar. Smoke lingers in the air, cools, and condenses on surfaces including walls. It creates a fine film that sticks to everything. Sometimes it seems like it's even embedded into the paint but I'm no materials engineer.
Source: I grew up around chain smokers and my childhood best friend has 2 parents that constantly smoke indoors.
- Comment on How do I read trade paper back comic book collections, but in cohesive narrative? 1 month ago:
With Western comics, you sort of don't. You follow specific series with the characters you like, or you obsessively compile reading order lists from various wikis and comic tracking sites that each seem to add more and more issues until you've spent way too much time and money.
Reading manga is a lot more straightforward, in my experience. You just read it in order and then check if there are any sequels or spinoffs.
- Comment on if you had to choose one 1 month ago:
It's incredibly difficult to pick between 1 and 2, even before the meme. On the one hand, bears. On the other, bears.
- Comment on Warner Bros. returning ownership of some soon-to-be-delisted Adult Swim titles 1 month ago:
Damn, I really liked Kingsway. I hope it'll be saved and people will still get to play it.
