Thanks for the heads up! I'll check them out! :D

I'm starting to get nervous with this aging Netgear stuff that's not getting updated anymore.

One can be both! Oh wait...I've just been informed the tanks are on hella backorder. :)

I'm right there with you. I try to grab important or favorite videos while I can to stash on my server for future enjoyment, and I run extensions that block the recommendation feed, ad block, as well as anti-clickbalt (shows random thumbnail from middle of video) when I do use it.

That algorithm is POWERFUL. Blocking the front page and "more like this" or whatever feeds has cut down on my rabbit hole stumbling almost entirely. (I'll occasionally disable it to find new stuff)

I notice so much of it anymore is just content farming, stuff that exists only in the context of the content business, generating views and courting sponsors. Even though it can be entertaining still, it feels empty.

Genuine human expression is increasingly hard to find on that platform. I mostly use it for those ultra long music playlists and art and game dev stuff. Gotta be careful there too though! So many people are just wannabe gurus selling unattainable saccharine pipe dream lifestyles instead of actually doing the work.

I also donate a fair bit to a creative focused PeerTube instance for my short videos.

This sounds neat! Any recommendations? :)

I don't really get forests where I live, but that sounds straight up unsettling if not terrifying!

once I quit a major source of stress.

Job? Like 95% of my mental problems disappeared right after quitting that job...

Saaame. There was a while there where Wayland didn't work on the repo version so I had to go full manual, but otherwise it's been almost perfect now, Wayland and all.

LOL isn't that the truth. I wanted my desktop to not bother chugging watts through my 3090 and generating excess heat when barely KDE Plasma and a browser is running, but trying to set up GPU offload just left me with a blank terminal screen.

Thank God for the geniuses who implemented Snapper rollbacks in OpenSUSE! Otherwise, the Nvidia drivers in the repos work fine and I'm scared to touch them...

Man the Sentinelese are gonna be pissed when they learn about this.

...pointed out that it would take many years of consistent tariffs to generate that kind of interest and investment...

That's the scary thing. Citrus-Hitler assumes he's gonna have himself and his policies in place for "many years of consistent tariffs."

Actually, yeah, I edited above but it did have a little keyhole: Except the management office said it was for themselves alone.

That's just...eegh...

"Yo man dang'ol smartlock open up man left my daggum phone in there tell ya what."

"I'm sorry. I didn't understand. Can you repeat that?"

Are you sure EA or Ubisoft didn't already beat you to it? Lol
