Understand you’ll probably lose a few grows. It’s more or less inevitable. If the only reason you’re getting into it is for “yield”, you will burn out quickly. Keep a journal. Write down why you made the decisions you did. Experiment. Have fun with it.

That’s the conclusion I’m coming to. Saw a lot of posts from self hosters happy they aren’t affected by this. Figured there was some reason NOT to use Cloudflare (security, etc.). But it kind of just seems like a personal preference. Cloudflare has certainly had better uptime than all my services thus far 🙂

I use cloudflare for my DNS 🫤

The way I view it is that religion serves to quell some existential anxiety. If your daily thoughts are preoccupied with forest fires, floods, and crop blight, you would reach out to some deity you feel controls those things. The hierarchy of needs just serves to display that society has progressed (imperfectly) up that hierarchy for many people.

I’m sure someone thought of this before, as you stated. Just a stoner thought I had. But a part of me believes religion serves some primordial animal drive. A way to surrender your worry into something bigger than yourself. The ultimate goal of giving up that surrender into yourself is kind of Buddhist in a way. I hope to achieve that one day.

I only have slskd, so I’m not sure if it’s different, but folder structure should have artist > album, but outside of that it doesn’t matter much. My folder names all contain musicbrainz ids for use in jellyfin, but I’ve had plenty of uploads.

Interesting. So when you query subscriptions, it actually queries everything and then filters it.

I decided to look at the github for Lemmy and found this issue that seems to reflect what youre saying.

I’m having flashbacks of avoiding table scans during my internship. 🙂

I can’t explain how much I hate simulation theory. As a thought experiment? Fine. It’s interesting to think of the universe in the context of code and logic. But as a driving philosophy of reality? Pointless.

Most proponents of simulation theory will say it’s impossible to prove the universe is a simulation, because we exist inside it. Then who cares? There obviously must exist a non-simulated universe for the mega computer we’re all running on to inhabit, so it’s a pointless step along finding the true nature if reality. It’s stoner solipsism for guys that buy nfts. It’s the “it was all a dream” ending of philosophy.

I ate one of these once. Was way far gone. Had the texture of pencil erasers.

Did you catch them glowing?

On the readarr front, check out chaptarr. It’s currently in a closed beta, but it’s looking like a great replacement.

For crying out loud.

This includes feeding their AI by pushing to github btw.

You’d think. But nope.

They may have an irc. I’m honestly not sure, and there doesn’t seem to be any information about it outside of the website, unfortunately.

I believe the scooter spots are financed by the city. Scooter pollution was a big problem here when they were first introduced, so I’m sure the alderpeople stepped in.

We also have the racked ebikes, and those are great. I think people dislike them since they require you to have a station at your destination/position, but I think the solution to that is just to build more. The scooters require a ton of overhead to be moved and charged.

I’d be in full support of banning use of bike racks for scooters. I think they’re a useful micromobility option, but they were implemented very poorly. Hell, maybe they could even build their own racks. Then you’d be guaranteed to always have a scooter fairly well charged.

The e-scooter apps I’ve used do require you to take a photo in the app. Probably so they can ban you if you suck. Where I live, I’m fortunate enough for there to be designated scooter parking in some places. They essentially take a car street parking spot, put posts around it, and label it. Really cleans up the area.

If you aren’t somewhere that has a spot like that, most of the time I just park on the city side of the grass. Off walkways, and the worst that can happen is some dead city grass. I couldn’t imagine attempting to slide one into a bike rack.

You raise some valuable points. However, some comments seem to be conflating “making your bed” with “washing your linens”, which I want to make clear is not what I’m saying. I am a sheet-washing proponent.

I don’t think that it’s useless because it will just get “messed up” again. I just feel the “messed up” state is equivalent or even better than the “clean” state.

Folded clothes, which I’ve heard some people mention in the comments, are better than unfolded clothes for two simple reasons: They take up less space, and they can be retrieved easily. Ive lived out of laundry baskets for a time and it is inarguably less efficient and consumes more space.

This actually happened earlier this year.

I was driving with my partner in a somewhat rural area. We were driving on the interstate. It was a sunny, bright winter morning. There was not all that much snow on the ground.

I notice on the side of the road, what appears to be a bear sitting in the shoulder next to the freeway, its back is turned to us, so we see its ears. It is completely black. Not black like a black bear, but black like those character locked memes.

I literally think it’s a wooden cutout. People sometimes make those for wild animals around where we were. Although as we pass this thing, it’s clear to me it is in fact a three-dimensional bear. I get a quick glimpse of its face. It is a fully, jet-black bear. The only details I can make out are small glints from its eye and the wetness of its nose. Apart from that, it looked like a void in space.

My partner and I sit in silence, and I eventually say “did you see that?” And they say “yep”. We’ve talked about this since, and my partner stands by the fact that they think it was a 2d cutout. They didn’t see the front side, which is making me think I somehow imagined it.

There are a few logical explanations, but it’s certainly the weirdest thing ive ever come across while driving.

Did some digging, but it doesn’t appear the band compatibility with US carriers is improved at all. Am I wrong here?
