  • “I had no idea pod casts we so popular”

    I’m sorry… what? The small child across the street from you has been running like four podcasts for the last two years, and your dog is getting ready to start his third one next week. Statically, you are running at least two of your own, apparently without even knowing. I’m recording my ninth episode this week, as I type this. This episode brought to you by Squarespace and Manscaped…







  • I’ve been using it for the last year or so, no issues, as long as I confirm there are no breaking changes before updating my docker container. My only real problem is that I sorely, SORELY, miss the editing features I had in Google photos. There’s been more than a couple of times now that I needed to quickly edit a photo as I would have done with Google photos, and when I couldn’t, got aggravated enough to consider switching back. Still chugging along on immich, though. Still holding out hope that one day they’ll add at least some basic editing features.








  • Wait, do we actually get something for our old lifetime Pocketcasts licenses? Because I remember when they switched the app to being free, with any extra features being locked behind a subscription, existing licenses holders got… not anything, as far as I remember. I’ve been using the app daily for years now, and have no reason to give it up, but I don’t feel like having bought the license back in the day is getting me anything extra over what a new free-tier user is getting now. Am I missing something?



  • When I was 7, I got brought to the school library and told to pick a book to read over the summer. I picked The Hobbit. I got told no. I Insisted. Read that, then moved on lotr. I then read those I don’t know how many more times over the years. As far as I remember, those are the only books I ever bothered to read more than once. Not counting listening to the audio books at work, as well.




  • The couple of streamers I watch regularly, all post thier streams to YouTube the next day, so I watch there. I do still have a twitch account, so I can use the free sub I get with Amazon prime to sub to one of them. Not much, but better than nothing, as they don’t have a patreon account. A secondary reason for maintaining that twitch account is to reserve my particular username, just in case.

    In terms of twitch chat and/or interactivity, I just could not possibly care less. I use FreeTube for all of my YouTube watching, these days, and I keep comments completely turned off. On the rare occasion I do actually watch something live on twitch, I have chat completely hidden.


  • Facebook marketplace is the only place I’ve been able to actually sell anything for at least a couple of years now. Craigslist used to be the shit, now it’s just shit. OfferUp is absolute trash. Let go was pretty good, but got bought out and shut down by OfferUp a while back. Unfortunately, FB might be the best place, for now. I can’t wait until I can finish selling off all of the stuff I need to get rid of. It’s the only reason I haven’t fully deleted my FB account yet.
