Peertube seems somewhat active. Dunno if that counts as social media.

Satanic Temple sweater?

Thanks!

I’ll check it out

Link to a store? I’d like one.

Jesus. I think all the code I’ve written in the last decade could fit in two of those binders lol

To be fair, I used to work at a fast food place, and we sometimes had to chop extra legs apart. As in, the chicken had an extra leg on its leg.

Same

I’ve heard that they’re hard line communists. Tankies, as the kids say these days.

I have very few heroes. Mr Rogers is one of them.

I’ve used Irish spring for ~15 years. Mainly because it’s green lol

No worries. Good luck!

Correct answer is “Ok”

Mars, actually. There’s nothing particularly interesting about it except that I’ve always wanted to be in the first wave of colonists to another planet, and Mars is a candidate.

My girlfriend and I are watching From, and enjoying it. We were/are worried that there’s a lack of direction and they’re just generating mysteries without any intention of solving them. The last few episodes revealed a few things, though, and I’m slightly more confident that they do have some sort of endgame.

A couple of people have asked for more info about my setup, so here’s what I did. I’m on mobile, so forgive any typos:

1. I bought a refurbished Dell mini PC from some website or other - if you Google “refurbished Dell mini PC” it’ll probably be the top result. It doesn’t need to be fast or have too much memory, but I’ve got a 2TB hard disk in mine, which is surprisingly cheap. Also needs at least one HDMI port.

2. I installed Ubuntu 20.04, and made a single user with no password, then set it to boot straight to the desktop. Plugged it directly into the t.v. with an HDMI cable.

3. I bought a cheap wireless keyboard with a roller ball in it that (barely, need a better one) can be used from my couch.

4. Installed Jellyfin and set it to run as a background service on boot. It has two directories it cares about: ~/Videos/Film and ~/Videos/Television

5. Set up ssh so that I can use scp to push files from my personal laptop to the server without having to dick around with thumb drives etc. I also have a script that checks how much disk space is available on the media server so I don’t run out (that 2TB drive fills up fast).

6. Got a NordVPN subscription and use Transmission on my personal laptop to download anything I want to see, push it to the server.

For a while, I also had an external domain name and IP so I could watch my videos on my phone while travelling, but I switched routers recently and something broke. I haven’t set this back up, but there are services that will give you a static IP and route requests to your actual IP so you can have a static domain name without having to pay your ISP for a static IP.

EDIT: also, you can set commands to run at login, so it boots directly to Firefox running in kiosk mode on the Jellyfin web app. The end result is that on boot, I get the Ubuntu symbol, a brief flash of desktop, and then I’m browsing my media library full screen.

Didn’t use one, but I can give help and advice if you want to dm me.
