Ya you’re right some of their views are 👎. I actually stopped listening to the podcast sometime over the pandemic when they had a super right wing guest on and they let loose and agreed with his views which was uncommon. Didn’t finish the episode, but came back to it a few years later and I recall hearing Aaron back track. Some of their newer episodes are still interesting and they seem to be more balanced, though I’ve been listening to the pre pandemic episodes.

For me Mysterious Universe takes the cake. A couple of Aussie guys talking about anything and everything paranormal, big foot, lucid dreaming, missing 411, stone tape theory, mediums, hauntings, abductions, time travel, ufos, men in black, remote viewing, alternative history theories, etc. They don’t really delve into conspiracy theories which I appreciate.

They’ve been at it for ages, and they are on season 32 of the regular show and 30 of the plus show (2 seasons per year). Most shows they discover a book or essay and do a deep dive into it, explaining and linking it to other research.

My main draw is how they don’t take anything too seriously, and are able to objectively present a theory about “black ops stealth [person of short stature]”, mixed with “the meaning behind your Thai diving instructor’s tramp stamp”, and follow it by well researched interviews with authors and researchers. Giving facts and letting listeners draw their own conclusions.

All that to say, I’ve listened back to season 11 so far, and have thousands of hours of content. Highly recommend.

Similar situation here. Lots of ghosting, or unmatching the day of a scheduled date. Had two dates in the last few months of using the apps. First woman was about 15 years older than her pics. Not unattractive by any means, but felt lied to from the get go. The other, let’s just say she had some work done after most recent pics, and the surgeon shouldn’t be practicing.

I feel like it should be “Jean”, non? If it was a Fiat or an Alfa Romeo, Giovanni would be a great fit. Maybe you have your own context or reasoning though ☺️.

A well deserved golf clap to you sir.

Yeah, this is not new and not shrinkflation… here in Canada the 440ml has been around for over 20 years in multi-packs, and the 500ml is available as individual cans.

While I agree with the general sentiment, these are both standard sizes for Guinness and the 440ml 4 packs and 8 packs have been around for well over 20 years. Here in Canada, the 440ml are available in the multi packs while the 500ml are sold as individual cans. I’ve seen the same in the states. I think OP just saw the smaller volume can next to the slightly bigger one and jumped on the shrinkflation hate train without checking.

Not sure about chromecast, but for AirPlay you don’t need internet connection. It’s probably the same for both, but I use an AppleTV and used a Xiaomi Mibox 3 before that, and would just cast to those if I need.

Well that’s just it, mostly unnecessary if you’re using it as essentially a monitor (like both of us are doing). Most of the updates would have to do with their smartcast OS or additional features or apps. The updates could also have additional support for devices as new hardware comes out, bug fixes (or additional bugs), speed improvements, etc.

They could definitely implement hardware that automatically connects to wifi without your permission. I guess a solution to that would be to connect to your own internet at home, maybe on a separate subnet that is blocked from accessing the internet.

I have a Vizio as well. It’s been disconnected from the internet for at least 2 years now and functions fine. I guess I miss out on updates, and if I press the Vizio “home” button it freezes up as it’s trying to connect for 20-30 secs before I can do anything, but works fine with an external Android or Apple box. You obviously won’t be able to use any of their apps if you disconnect from the internet, but it’s 100% worth it.

Adium… now that’s a name I have not heard for a while. Used to have a super nice customized version to chat with friends on various platforms. It was amazing. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

I found the three newish Tomb Raider games to be a great mix of a sort of open world feel at times where you have things to explore, while being very much on rails. Each arc in the story gives you an area to explore and your actions in that area progress the story. You get some weapon and ability upgrades throughout. I came in not expecting much and couldn’t put the first one down. I think I finished Tomb Raider 2013 to 100% in about 20-25 hours and it was excellent. Will probably do another playthrough at some point, still haven’t played the third.

You don’t have to rebuild the proxmox hosts to remove the cluster. I made the same mistake last year sometime and was able to remove the cluster and each of the proxmox machines works as it should standalone. I don’t recall the exact steps but it was very easy. A quick search for “proxmox remove cluster” gave me this result and from what I recall these are the steps I followed as well. https://rostislavjadavan.com/posts/promox-delete-cluster

Big fan of their salt and vinegar flavour as well. Last time I got the Gouda, Camembert and confit d’oignons flavours 🤤

Bret’s is so damn good. There is a deli near my town that carries a few flavours and I make the trip just to get them.

For the occasional time where I’m troubleshooting something and Reddit has the only solution on an “unmoderated sub” or one with 18+ posts, I just change the “www” in the URL to “old”, and get the old, non mobile friendly UI. It lets you bypass the other app popups, etc. Sometimes when you go into a post you’re back in the new UI, and might get another pop up, but backing out or changing the url to “old” usually solves it in my experience.

This looks cool, and there is an itinerary plugin as well. And a community workaround to self host syncing. I’ll check it out, thanks!!

Gotcha, I’ll check that out.

Unless I can find something better I’ll just use a combination of Joplin and a spreadsheet for now, and maybe make a little self hosted solution as I figure out my own needs.

This is close to what I’m looking for, but won’t work on my iOS device while travelling. Can KDE apps live alongside a Gnome DE? I’ve never had a need to look into it.

This could work, yeah. I already use Organic maps so fits. I’ve seen a trip planning notion template, but I use self hosted Joplin so maybe I can adapt it for now.

Maybe I’ll work on an actual app myself though. I’m not super knowledgeable but could do something basic. Could be a fun project to work on in the spring.
