When a world without cars is inconceivable, it becomes a presumed condition of the question that the answer must involve cars.
- Comment on Amazon plans to cut 30,000 corporate jobs in response to pandemic overhiring 7 hours ago:
My organisation is going through this right now. The overarching management “corporation” is looking at our numbers and saying that we’ve got more employees and spending than 5 years ago, but have the same output metrics… So we’ve got to cut back staff and spending because there’s dead weight that’s not adding to productivity. The problem is that these will be small ineffective parts of people’s otherwise useful jobs. You can’t do what Elon Musk did and start firing people across the board to correct the numbers. It’s a complex problem to solve.

- Comment on The concept of teen superheroes is stupid and boring 4 days ago:
USA seems to be very high-school obsessed generally. It seems that there really is a strong nostalgia for a time when you had time and ambition and potentially could be anything and were finding your real self and navigating your first relationships. Also, I wonder if comics used to be solely of interest to teenage boys at some point decades ago and it was much more successful to write stories they could relate to. Older readers would be able to relate to a time they’ve lived through anyway.
Teenage stories have a place, but I agree it’s way overdone. I enjoy the more grown up superheroes a lot more. Peter Parker is much more interesting when he’s an adult. Daredevil is much more interesting for being a working lawyer and this complementing his superhero work.

Future me always has dedication and motivation that I’ve never before had in my life…but I’m sure he’ll have it all figured out by tomorrow.

Joke’s on you, AI already does nothing and sits and posts shit on the internet all day…it’s better than you at being unemployed.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 1 week ago:
This. Breakfast in bed is totally overrated.
Top tier breakfast as a kid was taking the blanket to the couch after waking up and sitting in front of the TV and mom brining breakfast there. Its the same now…best breakfast is sitting upright in the lounge, although control of crumbs remains a problem.
- Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole? 1 week ago:
I don’t know much about Home Assistant, but you could keep that separate on an R.Pi of its own. Or install it as a native app on Debian if you use a desktop OS on your server.
Tinkering is fun. Home server is one of the few projects that have gone through to full completion. Silksong will take up my time for now till I find a new project. Might just make a new macropad for work.

I’ve heard of Docker Desktop, but sounds like it was not well received.
Don’t know what this means. Docker is universally lived and works perfectly on desktop OSs.
I’m running Debian on my server mini PC. Docker will work on any installation of Windows, Linux, etc and work perfectly well. I played around with it initially by setting up a virtual machine with Debian on my gaming computer and seeing if I could get Docker apps working.
Fast forward to now, and I’m kinda sad that my server is all set up and stable and I have nothing to tinker with.

I started with a 2 bay Synology NAS (still have this as storage only and no computing) and added a 12the gen i5 mini PC I got on eBay for £230. That’s worked out great and I would highly recommend it. If you’re on a budget then look for some older hardware.
Docker is also not that difficult to get started with and worth messing around with to learn. I started on with Docker on my Synology and out grew that quickly and have been really happy with my mini PC.

This looks a lot more complicated that Watchtower. Is this something different or add other functionality?

Yup, you’ve mentioned the solution. Podcasts. Even for podcasts, just swipe away the ones you don’t like the title of .

Seriously… Pancakes or waffles would be my last choice for breakfast. French toast, or eggs (in a variety of ways), a decent bread. Or if I’m going out and going to be fancy then a Shakshuka.

- Comment on Here's what would happen if the UK abolished landlords overnight 3 weeks ago:
A sudden ban would be madness. This would have to be phased in in some system of selling landlord permits which are phased out over time.
Or beat them at their own game by investing in massive amounts of good quality of social housing to flood the market.
One way or another, property prices will go down and people can’t stand the thought of negative equity.

There are going to be a lot of good machines that should hit eBay for cheap as companies dump their old stock. Grab home servers, media machines, secondary devices, emulation rigs, etc as the opportunity presents itself.

Roguelites are my jam. The only thing that pulled me away from STS was Balatro. Now Into The Breach on my phone has pulled me away from Balatro.
Way too many great games out there. Way too little time for them.

Started Retroid Fusion for GBA. So far so good.
Gran Turismo 4 continues. That holds up remarkably well with upscaling.
Still playing through Hollow Knight… Neglecting Silksong for this.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 3 weeks ago:
My music taste is pretty narrow and my music library is small (<800 songs). Buy my music on Band camp, then stream from Jellyfin. I wouldn’t ever pay for streaming. If I want to go through new music then I use a more targeted online radio (Jango is free and good).
It surprises me that people want to stream such a large amount. Do people just listen to random tunes? Happy to listen to anything?
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 3 weeks ago:
Jellyfin + Symfonium is such a great experience
Jellyfin has pretty good Linux PC clients too. Even the main Jellyfin client works well for music.

- Comment on I Review PC Handhelds for a Living and I’m Worried Where Things Are Headed 3 weeks ago:
These handhelds will die down when they don’t sell well. The low end retro gaming handhelds are in an amazing place right now. The high end PC handhelds will be great to buy on the secondhand market in a few years as they come onto eBay. They’re great for patient gamers. PC gamers are obsessed with running AAA games bat top settings and they’re going to have a rude awakening after wasting their money on these devices. The patient gamers are going to capitalise on this.
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 4 weeks ago:
Jessica Jones season 1 was good in this regard. A problem and a villain that can’t easily be handled by just throwing punches.
The Watchmen is another good one that has less focus on just punching bad guys.
Completely agree that it is problematic that when your basic story is about super strong individuals, then the only story you will write is about problems that can be solved with violence. No one wants to watch a movie of the Hulk doing shifts to rotate a turbine to generate clean electricity.

The Mist
A Stephen King movie from 2007. It’s worth a watch. You can find YouTube videos about the ending, but it’s obviously going to spoil the movie if you’re planning to watch it.
