This week? AdGuard Home to block ads network-wide. Optimizing it so I can compare it to my Pi-Hole to see which I prefer. We'll see what obsession next week holds.
Where my ADHD homies at?
This is absolutely my life and it can go fuck itself, think ive had about 10 new potential careers this year.
When you go off the burn though it may aswell not exist.
hello fellow ADHD homelab homie
rn I have some time off so I’m attempting to force all my random code project repos to use the same structure. Paying down the tech debt at last
Hell yeah homie, go get that technical debt.
Did that earlier this year. Ultimately not a huge difference at the end of the day. Decided to go back to pihole but I don’t think you can go wrong with either.
I still have both for different reasons (probably ADHD reasons), but Adguard Home Sync is easier to setup for muli instances than syncing pihole. I
I’ve been streaming games from my PC to TV with moonlight & sunshine, now I’m setting up a docker container with steam built into it and giving it a whole GPU so I can game stream but my PC will still be usable with my other GPU.
Don’t know why, I’m the only person who uses it lol, guess it’s a cool thing to do.
The first comment is about DNS in a homelab. This is fantastic, thank you
We're blown away back, in ur dust :(
Why do those little pieces of skin keep sticking up next to my fingernails. (Not cuticles / hangnails, the skin next to the nails)
I tend to bite them and tear them off hoping they don't act like a zipper and all of me will pour out
Just clip theme as close to skin asyou can and move the heck on. No good can come from further engagement
Never bothered to learn how, now I know. Hopefully I will remember it too.
For the curious:

[Something goes here to prevent autoformatting
A
]
(urltoyourpic.jpg) but in one line and without any spaces and words
I'm also too lazy to look up how to escape special characters so Sync doesn't format them to interesting other things.
Fuck this

New paragraph/line space
Caption thats not actually part of the link format :)
You can also apply some Vaseline to them afterwards. It helps a lot with keeping them soft and less annoying, so you're less likely to disrupt the healing process
Lanolin's really good too
Interesting, haven't heard of that one but I'll take a look. Thanks
I find it a little "nicer" and I consider it "stronger" -> whatever that means, lol
When I first did that one, I was thinking of it as a very cheesy pun at the time. I was thinking "barrel trolls, hmm imagine that drawn."
I have always loved that dude.
Very cool, bae :) love the Pokémon/Oz pastiche
Thanks
My phone's home screen.
I'm not obsessed with it, per se. I have it dialed in and don't think about it much. But I use a special launcher and organize the app icons carefully. When I get a new app, I put time in to consider where it goes and where to shuffle things around. I'm very deliberate about the widgets I keep around. I'm proud of it and I've shared my layout and the apps I use on Facebook. So I think this counts.
Mind showing your home screen layout / config? I'm still using Nova Launcher bc I haven't liked any of the other launchers I've tried.
I use Nova as well. I like it a lot. My home screen is just a grid of all my apps, with a folder for less-used apps. I have two widgets: a one-block local weather report, and a two-block battery meter (mostly to see the power remaining on my earbuds). Everything is on one screen, and I never have to scroll through the general app drawer.
Which launcher do you use? I'm bored of my current one but haven't found anything new that makes me go wow yet.
Nova. It's not fancy, but it gives me the control over the grid. I can remove icon labels. Etc.
I need desktop / homescreen wallpaper that is minimalist enough to not be distracting and yet is more complex than a flat color or gradient. And a single one in place will bug me after a time, so I borrowed a bunch of powerpoint tech backdrops.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy this fact about you.
Perhaps you'd like metro frutiger aesthetic?
Or maybe Android Marshmallow's wallpaper
Thank you for pointing me toward Metro Frutiger! Not quite my style but certainly a starting point for research!
EBay deals and thrifting. I can spend hours just looking at different things, seeing how much of a deal it is and not buying it
Corals.
Specifically reef keeping. I will spend hours browsing coral on aquarium sites, looking to find the perfect one for my tank.
Do you have a favorite site to suggest how to get started?
Sorry, I do not.
I've been reefkeeping for over 20 years, I learned by working in a tropical fish store for years.
Thanks for inspiring me to take a crack at it myself! If I actually wind up starting a tank, I'll try to remember to send you a message
Are you on the aquariums sub here? :)
I want to get a saltwater tanks someday. It looks a bit intimidating to see people putting in chemicals every 6 hours on YT channels, but I want to try it. Already have a small freshwater tank here!
I am not, I will have to go join.
If you're just looking to get a salt water fish only tank, then there is no need to add anything once your tank is cycled and you've got fish in it. Just like freshwater, the types of fish you have dictate the level of difficulty in care. Just do some searches on beginner salt water aquarium guides and you should find a lot of results with walkthrus.
Oh yeah! I think I'd want to try corals, too. I love planted tanks, and miss the vibrant reefs of my childhood, which humanity has since wrecked pretty bad. Even if its just a small tank, it would be nice to have a small sliver of the natural world with me. :)
As they said, you can go really simple, but I wanted to chip in as a chemicals every 6 hours person, I've got a machine that does it, I never have to think about it.
Good to know! Do things go bad really quick if the machine goes bad or the power goes out on vacation? Or can it coast off what it has for a week or so?
Same. I go in phases on what I'm into, I've had an acan phase, a clove phase, a euphylia phase, and a mushroom phase, all this year.
I've been on an acan, zoa, acro phase this year. Last year it was cyphastreas, montis, pretty much any encrusting.
I've never had an encrusting phase, I'm not a fan of them, I'm guessing thats coming!
Simulation theory.
It's like every few months developments happen that makes it even harder to ignore.
Ooh, care to link to any of your favorite things? I love simulation theory.
But for me personally it's the thing I mention in this comment that's most compelling. It just seems really unlikely that our world lore has something so ancient that's also so specifically discussing things tied to the emerging picture of tech. It's almost to the point of being heavy handed.
Interesting!! Do you have a link to the historic text?
I link the text, the cataloging of the later beliefs of the group following it in antiquity, and a philosophical text very useful in figuring out what it's talking about here.
Thanks! Dealing with a pretty horrible abscessed tooth right now (fucking glitches in the sim!), so I'll read later. Thanks again!
Good luck with the tooth!!
I’m obsessed with Astro Vans. I love them. I can’t get enough of them. And I own one!
The Vauxhalls?
No, Chevrolet.
Amazing. Both horrifically-poor manufacturers,and an almost identical name! 😂
This year, mostly GURPS. It's such a delightfully comprehensive TTRPG. If you can think of it, you can do it, and odds are that unless you're thinking of something really out there, it's explicitly outlined in one of the source books. Even if it is really out there, you can probably find several forum posts outlining several ways to run the mechanics.
It's not a perfect reality simulator, but it's good enough for me.
Fun fact, the original Fallout was first using GURPS before they had to invent SPECIAL.
Mhmm! They had to invent it because Steve Jackson Games wasn't terribly keen on the level of violence in Fallout.
Another fun fact, their 3e Cyberpunk supplement was so convincing that they got raided by the US Secret Service under suspicion of cyber terrorism.
Fans of GURPS, or anyone looking to hear it in action should check out the podcast "the film reroll" (if you haven't already). They play through films as RPGs using GURPS and it's fantastic! They even had the creator of GURPS on once as one of many people playing Leonard in Momento. Also, there are absolutely no adverts.
If you like GURPS, you should check out Mutants and Masterminds 3e (d20herosrd.com). It's written for superhero games, but I've seen it used for everything from dungeon fantasy to Star Wars. It has all the flexibility and versatility of GURPS with a fraction as much math, and so far I have found exactly one thing I couldn't build a power for in that system (Wheel of Time's Balefire).
I really prefer 3d6 to d20 though. And honestly, I like the math
3d6 definitely has it's merits.
Building GURPS mages is still an exercise in masochism, though.
Guess that depends on which magic system you use
I don't mind the base system though, pre-reqs make sense
there is something so mesmerizing by hearing some small, almost universally ignored sounds. when stillness is interrupted by the soft rustle of paper, or I can hear some innocuous bug doing it's thing. I also love the sound of animals chewing, but hate how humans sound when they do it. I once sat in detention at school, the room was so quiet. a fly landed on my desk, and I could hear it clean itself. it was so surreal. How many others have heard that sound?
It's some people's jobs to create/recreate and record those sounds for TV, games, and other media. I believe they're called foley artists.
yeah! and the job was named after it's most prolific artist, Jack Foley! I tell ya, if I could be a fly on the wall of a Foley Artist... Man... that'd be cool
A lot of things. But specifically this week it's the Lemmy v0.19 upgrade. I'm going through the github release, the various posts on the various instances, gathering every info I can find.
I would watch Over the Garden Wall over and over and over which reminds me...
Well now it's Infinity Train
Both amazing shows! Have you watched summer camp island?
No what's that ? Is it similar?
It's a cute animated show about a magical summer camp. From what I remember it isn't as serious as the other shows, but still very much worth the watch if you can find it
I'll never be able to hold a candle to my grandma, but planting seeds and seeing the little seedlings poke out of the soil. It's really satisfying to know that I've done something right to be able to create life.
In the winter, tinkering with my magic decks, or becoming obsessed with a video game if one grabs me.
In the summer, riding my longboard long distances.
Boxes. I love boxes. Like old metal ones or decorative stash boxes. Crazy about boxes. Nice ones though. no cardboard.
Trains. Specifically Japanese trains. I lived there about a decade ago and often uses the trains to get to Tokyo or malls on weekend, and have grown to be obsessed with it. From regular passenger trains to Shinkansens (bullet train).
My biggest wish is to be able to live there again. I really miss those times!
Trains, idk what it is, I don't even like travelling by train, I'm just oddly obsessed with them...
i like trains
I don't particularly enjoy using trains either but they're just so god damn efficient. And the engineering is also cool sometimes
Renovating my home is a hobby of mine, but I can't stand tiny imperfections like walls that aren't perfectly smooth, surfaces that aren't exactly level, and mail-order furniture which isn't quite the same color as it was in the pictures. Usually I can get things just right eventually, but sometimes I have to recognize that doing that would be crazy (i.e. it would require spending tens of thousands of dollars to demolish and rebuild something which everyone else tells me already looks great) and then I get really upset, give up in the middle of the renovation project, and never finish it.
The funny thing is that this level of perfectionism is actually just right for the sort of programming I do at my day job, so work ends up being less stressful than my hobby.
I used to have similar perfectionist perspective in my 20s but then i look at my own skill and reflect on it, it just that i can't reach the perfect that i wanted with my skill, or the situation on hand just doesn't allow that, so right now in my 30s i just do my best and finish a renovation project without second-guessing myself too much. No one gonna scrutinise my own work in my own home other than myself, that sort of perspective change is what work for me.
It's also help when the maker that inspired me also make mistake on camera and teach others how to fix/hide it.
The problem is when you pay somebody to do the work. Nobody spends as much time as you. Building these days is a slap-it-together endeavor. They will get the job done in half the time you would, but it’s not quite as good as you would have done.
