- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 3 days ago:
My daughter got into anime through friends and I got some street creds by talking about how things used to be. Buying laserdiscs in Japan, subbing them and showing them at conventions. I subbed two episodes of some show I don’t remember. Or shipping VHS tapes across continents. My daughter doesn’t care, of course. But her friends were impressed. I fear that that was my last hurrah, though. I got nothing else.

Well, that sounds good. But my god is that a complicated mess. It’s not working for me and I don’t have the will to deal with that crap anymore. Set up my own CouchDB, ran the init script, connection test is fine. But I can’t get the plugin to actually sync anything, it just keeps failing with “Failed to initialise the encryption key, preventing replication”. Whatever that means. It won’t explain which encryption key or what failed. I did not enable E2E encryption.

Well, OK, you got me to give that a try!

Why videos? I feel like an old man yelling at clouds every time something that sounds interesting is presented in a fucking video. Videos are so damn awful. They take time, I need audio and I can’t copy&paste. Why have they become the default for things that should’ve been a blog post?

I’m not mentally ill enough for that. 😛
- Comment on Yet another note taking recommendation needed 3 days ago:
That solution doesn’t exactly spark joy. Folder sync in general is, in my experience, too error prone. So I just stay away from it. Maybe I’ll need to finally give it another try.

I remember an audio book read by Ice T and he pronounced the w in sword. It was a fantasy novel and it came up rather often.

I started playing NMS a while back, but I had zero clue what I needed to do. I guess I need to go back and check if I skipped a tutorial.

I don’t know what to look at. Can somebody maybe put a bigger red circle around it?

I once took an in-country flight in Germany and we taxied so long that I was looking for highway exit signs because we were clearly driving instead of flying.

Man, I am too old to sleep on the floor. I also prefer a separate bedroom without electronic distractions. But I do love me some minimalism.
- Comment on There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps 3 months ago:
I backed it right there in the beginning. I don’t even have access to my account anymore and I stopped caring. Star Citizen will always live in infamy, as this bizarre project that turned into some cult-like abomination and will just run ad infinitum until either the money runs out or the sun swallows earth.

Yeah, I definitely prefer to not read some text as compared to not watching a video. If it’s just someone talking, it should’ve been an article.
