Season passes for games.

Machistas fucking suck. My father is one and it’s cost him his immediate and extended family. He’s practically all alone.

Paul Mauriat - “Love Is Blue”

For context, it’s from a show called Millennium. A woman imprisons young men and has this song playing over and over to kind of brainwash them.

He’s great. Awesome setlist, too. They ended the show with stuff from Obsolete and “Lynchpin.” Some of the openers were good, too, like Byzantine. Nice mix of prog metal.

I was just at a Fear Factory concert. Can confirm.

The ability to use a custom search engine (searXNG) and the accessibility/UI features.

Probably Sam Raimi’s movies. Just the right amount of cheese.

This has been my go-to on GrapheneOS. Glad to see it get some notice.

You could try learning podman as an intermediate tool. I recommend it for the user-controlled systemd services. There are so many systemd commands to fine tune your containers.

That’s great to hear you’ve made it into a business. I’d been thinking of creating a “biz in a box” side hustle for small businesses. I’m not very business-savvy, though.

I just have it in a pod with the companion app. They auto update and auto restart at night. I’ve also kept my subscriptions fairly low. Most of the time, that’s all I need.

For one song, I’d say “The Downward Spiral.”

For an album, I’d say The Downward Spiral.

I’ve been selfhosting for about 4 years now. I wanted to break away from services like Google and find tools I could control on my own hardware.

I went from bare-metal Jellyfin and Nextcloud on my NAS to running the NAS with an NFS share and a Raspberry Pi as a pod orchestrator through quadlets. That little sucker is running pods for:

• media (audiobookshelf, kavita, Jellyfin)
• Immich
• Invidious
• Navidrome
• Peertube
• SearXNG
• Servarr suite (flareresolverr/jackett/prowlarr, gluetun/qbittorrent, jellyseerr, lazylibrarian, lidarr, mylar3, radarr, sonarr)

It’s also running instances of:

• mumble
• nginx-proxy-manager
• sftpgo
• syncthing

I’ve only opened a few services for family usage, but everything else is VPN-accessible.

Also, no more Nextcloud. Syncthing balances everything out, and I can use sftpgo’s webdav option to host my own seedvault backups. Now Google is collecting dust.

Jeff Goldblum’s Jurassic Park monologue feels appropriate here.

“You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew it you had it. You patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunch box, and now your selling it!”

I wouldn’t say you “shamefully invested” time into finding sources for your arguments. I see it as educating yourself. Don’t do it for them; do it for you.

Fish mate inside of a sea cucumber’s anus.

I have my own instance of this, and it’s become my only front end for YouTube content. The last political shooting (and subsequent firings of commenters of said shooting) made sure of that. I imported my subscriptions, scrubbed all my data, and haven’t looked back since.
