Agreed. Watching the queries on the pi-hole dashboard has been eye-opening.

I’d love to! Those things are expensive now though. My old Pi is running my Pi-Hole now. If they were affordable, I’d buy a whole ass pallet of them for all the projects I want to do.

Yeah, my TV doesn’t have Tizen as far as I know. I found that jellyfin-tizen app and tried manually installing it but my TV is about 8 years old now.

Researching now. I figured there were things out there like that but didn’t know they were so inexpensive. Thanks for the suggestion!

They are, at least the one that’s given me the most trouble is.

My only hitch making the switch to Jellyfin is that a couple of my TVs just don’t have a jellyfin app whatsoever. I wish they did, I can’t stand all the changes Plex has made over the last few years specifically.

where did you get those wall mounted platforms?

I’ve said the same about Ground Turkey for years.

Who says they aren’t?

Used to be Futurama for years and years. Started putting Family Guy, American Dad, Bob’s Burgers, Sponge Bob, and King of the Hill into the mix. Basically anything animated.

Hell yes. Decades of tinnitus gone? Sign me up.

My parents are close to 65 and completely out of touch. If you turn 65 during your next term you should be ineligible.

I too was in middle school when Columbine happened. The next year we weren’t allowed to wear trench coats… In Phoenix…

Sam didn’t spring for the ad-free tier and now has to have his time wasted?

If you heard a noise, you were spared.

I like the cut of your jib, Tex.

How would you prepare for telecom? I’ve got a background in IT and have been trying to switch to Software Engineering by learning React and TypeScript. Would the skills compare at all?

I’ve never used an Android that felt like it was out of beta testing yet and they stopped making Windows phones and BlackBerrys (BlackBerries?). I only used my phone for texting and email and my significant other talked me into an expensive-ass iPhone 8 and I’ve just kinda kept going with them. I have an 8 and a 12 and I plan on using the 12 until it falls apart and then go back to the 8 until that one dies too. If e-ink phones aren’t a thing by that time I’ll get a dumb phone and separate device for Authenticator passcodes.

As for why - I don’t need the latest and greatest features on my phone. It may be an old way of thinking but I’d rather use a computer and dumb phone over a smart phone on its own.

I did the same recently and can’t recommend them more. They’re wonderful. I can’t imagine a world without one and I’m shocked that they didn’t become the staple in every household decades ago. Big TP really did a number on my country.

I went all out and sold my PS5, bought a guitar and have been teaching myself how to play. I feel awkward because I didn’t just move to Lenny but now I can play dope ass riffs.
