Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Well, you got me. I’m trying to do better.

Same, it would be great to have a trove of podcasts saved on my media server but the medium is very geared towards passively receiving episodes, listening once at most, and deleting.

I see people who are showing concern borne of experience, and with marked consensus. If you’re confident they’re wrong about your situation, it still may be worth reflecting on what they’ve learned and to limit your ambitions - or at least, consider building things on a more conservative timeline than you were imagining. Have big dreams, but start with biting off an amount you can certainly chew.

I see you around a lot, and you’re consistently doing exactly this. I really respect that.

It’s not federated, but something like BookStack could be an option for self-hosted collaboration.

The people who made phpBB didn’t, so far as I know, have teams of behavioural psychologists gaming out how best to sell us ads and waste infinite amounts of our time.

I super agree, would rather have one decent regular than a thousand average redditors who don’t fit the vibe around here

I’m fine with that while it lasts. Having millions of active users would increase the feed, but it’s not going to increase the likelihood of me talking to anyone smart

Skill issue

The dream: releasing a scathingly cordial open letter to an oligarch that has a real chance of ruining their day.

Aaa you were right thanks! What a relief

Eh fuck it, I’m enjoying freetube now

It hasn’t been working lately. Videos stop at 0:59

I give them a few quid every month. Might be the only regular donation I’ve got going at the moment (was being the sole earner for 3 until recently so yeah, rebuilding slowly)

Search engines are mega sucky these days, but Wikipedia has never been better. I find myself going straight to wiki any time I need a quick fact or basic info.

I don’t know. I am still as opinionated and difficult as I ever was on Reddit, but I also turn it around, display civility, and cede points far more often here. Maybe I’m becoming better, but I think it’s just a better situation overall.

Saved for when I get my home server back up and running. This sounds way better than keeping everything on an external SSD.

I’m a fucking albatross, I know… Or whatever that sailor’s curse bird is I forget. A crested wank.
