I have home assistant running on my home server. It’s default use is managing your smart home but my house is too poor to be smart so I use it to push notifications about chores to my kid.

I got Plex set up for my media server literally the day before they hiked the prices. I was weary about the $150 lifetime and couldn’t afford the new price when they changed it so I went to jellyfin.

Turns out jellyfin was everything I wanted and free. Bought 5 years worth of unlimited hosting and a domain name for less than a month of Plex and now I’m well on my way to a pirate media empire.

Just wish I had anyone other than my spouse to share if with… Or that I could figure out fucking MusicBrainz…

Well my turtles are doing it again but my cat looks like a zombie. So good and bad.

Wgrite an incredibly cryptic note explaining that the following pages are a coded manifesto pointed towards something valuable. Fill the next 4 pages with heavily encrypted text of something really dumb and pointless.

We’re still trying to figure out a ton of cryptic stuff, it’d be funny to have one just be a straight up hoax and still get taken seriously.

I have no strong feelings about snap, like flat pack I find it to be a coin toss as to whether it works fine on the first try or has never worked and never will. Does straight Debian have a desktop environment and consistent guides? The biggest thing that keeps me close to ubuntu is that I can always search “[whatever I’m trying to do] Ubuntu” and find a dozen guides explaining exactly what i need to make it happen and they’re rarely out of date or wrong.

That’s actually my primary reason for looking for other options, bazzite had everything pre installed so I didn’t have to hunt down which game software to install or what they so, I could just switch around and see what works. Now that I know what I like and what works, I can just install those myself instead of getting bogged down.

The big issue I have on bazzite is installing the little softwares I use for all my hobbies. Cura, linuxcnc, vsmodelmaker, media rippers, etc. I can’t install them straight to the machine because of the immutable setup so its flatpak or box buddy. There’s a 50:50 that the flatpak is broken, and I can’t for the life of me get anything to actually run in box buddy. If it does actually launch, any graphic sections like the build space in cura are just black. In comparison my partner’s laptop is Ubuntu and our server is Ubuntu server with docker. If I can’t just find the working copy in a software market it’s like two lines in terminal and I’m already using the software.

I actually popped into the discord, felt icky after leaving it during the ID change, and talked to the head dev. Apparently theyre looking for people to do documentation. Honestly his take on it and the fact that it’s his daily OS is pretty reassuring.

3d printed actually, I’m not that talented lol

Thank you, her name is Teana. You can’t tell in this picture but her ankles and feet are creamer pitchers and tea cups respectively. Some day I’ll find the right fabric to make her a little dress.

Among a lot of other things.

Honestly the story behind mad max is almost as wild as the story in mad max. It really is a wild ride.

Years ago I had these little magnetic lugs that you popped into the charge port and the cable just snapped onto the little magnet. Always thought I’d be cool to have a phone case with a track all the way around the phone so that the magnet cable could pop anywhere and the would charge off it. Then it’s always where it’s most convenient instead of right where you don’t want it.

Had to look it up, it’s a breakfast sandwich from England. "Beef Canadian“ slices which are apparently roast beef or something similar, fried mushrooms and onions, cheddar cheese, and either ketchup or maple syrup.

Honestly, not too bad sounding. Put it on rye or pumpernickel, maybe a thick roll and pan fried like a melt.

1. Hang every person on the Epstein list.
2. Abolish lobbying and any level of secrecy for politicians
3. Reclaim all private property owned by anyone with more than 5 million dollars and fairly redistribute it.
4. Disband the CIA.
5. Make all documents in the government public record.
6. Write a new constitution listing all possible ways the government could be exploited to be reviewed anually with lifetime Incarnation and labor for violations and compounding punishment for each individual involved.

I quite liked Necromerger. It has a very fun monster aesthetic, the little guy talks like invader zim, and I honestly wasn’t put off by the minorization. Had about 100 hours and no reason to delete it after 8 months, so I bought the premium version, 9 bucks, 1 time purchase, just gives you more energy or something.

I ultimately ended up out doing myself, got to a point where I got my satisfaction and still had energy left so I ended up playing longer than I wanted. Can’t say I’ve ever complained about getting more game per game, but it was hard to put down when whatever I was waiting for showed up.

Gowlfing. You go bowling, but you put the bumpers up so no one can gutterball and you play for the lowest score. Everyone is equally bad at it, it’s hilarious to play, and it confuses the shit out of other lanes.

Speed minigolf. It’s minigolf, but if your ball comes to a complete stop you have to start back at the tee with all the swings you’ve already taken. The ball and the club have to be in motion when they collide or you start again. So it leads to everyone galloping through the course, shouting numbers as they swing and desperately trying to get the right angle on a moving target. Do not play when there are other guests.

Monopoly deal is remarkably fun for a monopoly spin off. It’s even more fun with two decks and everyone plays for 5 sets.

For a short while I had a ttrpg version of magic the gathering. Not the d&d tie ins, it was commander, but your commander is a character sheet with stat based rules to allow you to pick any card that meets the requirements. You start off with only a 2 drop rare, and as you level up you get perks that change that. Every game you play with that deck earns experience, and once a month we’d do a dungeon crawl as our characters, using our signature noncreature cards from our decks. It was fun while it lasted but life always gets in the way.

Twister. It’s twister, but you have to get up and spin around for 10 seconds each time.

Hand of Glory. It’s played with tarot cards because French tarot an poker aren’t intractable enough. Each player has 7 cards in hand, you have to make a set of 5 in classic poker values, with a 6th card that’s a major arcana and a 7th spare. Each turn you draw a card and discard a card. You may take the top of the deck or the top of the discard. A player may discard a major arcana when another player draws a card to trade it with the drawing player for the card they would’ve gotten. When you have a winning hand you declare your clutch, and the other players may play a major arcana that’s higher than yours to block you from winning. You may in turn block this by playing a higher card from your spare. If you don’t you discard your hand and draw 7, they take your losing major arcana. If the fool is played to block a winning clutch, all players discard their hands. If the World is used to block a winning clutch, that is a hand of fate and the blocking player is allowed to immediately play a winning clutch if they have one. If the world is played as the arcana for a winning clutch, that’s a Hand of Glory and can only be blocked by playing the fool. Conventionally, the game is repeatedly shuffled up and dealt until a Hand of Glory is played, at that point the player with the most wins is the Victor.

Frankly, day one. The idea that America was ever an example to the rest of the world is American revisionism. If you actually look at American history you’ll see the current American administration is very in line with the way we’ve always been.

I always heard “Dirty deeds in those dungarees”

This is looking to be my best option, it looks like I can send text notifications through email to sms and I like that

What set’s Gotify apart from ntfy?
