Got to around 30 yrs old

I realized that I, on paper, really like non-fiction books. In practice, I really only like fantasy and space operas (different than sci-fi)

Every night before bed, I read 10 pages or a chapter. Whichever comes first. Can always read more, but not less.

So to answer,

Almost every night Fantasy / space opera Mid 30s, father I’ve added audiobooks to my commute The most important part (I think) is figuring out what you like, and then setting a small but achievable routine

I’ve been listening to the graphic audio versions of The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson.

I just finished listening to Joe Abercrombie’s First Law Trilogy. The narrator was fantastic. Probably the best I’ve listened.

Check out the graphic audio versions!

In 2011 SK started a tax for a reunification fund in the event that they absorb a bunch of NK refugees at some point.

This just happened to me today. I was talking with a colleague and recalled that they had just gone on a short trip with their partner. First time away from the kids.

I asked how it was, I was a couple weeks overdue but they excitedly told me about it. It felt good to ask, did it change my day? Not really that much.

But this person was excited to share (a few weeks ago) their excitement and anticipation with me. So when I asked how it went, they got a chance to relive it and share with me the results.

All in all, they cared enough to share, I cared enough to ask and at the end of it, I felt good. I got to share in their excitement and make a person feel heard and valued AND they got to relive the excitement again.

As a Canadian, same. And so much more.

Then you get people who spell with Canadian and American spelling and you wonder if you’ve been spelling things wrong or if once again, American culture is slipping in.

This might be my ignorance, but the Ubiquiti stuff I’m finding seems to be all commercial. I ended up getting a good price on the Flint 2 and it should be here next Friday. I’m hoping to chunk out some time setting it up on the 20th

Thank you for your detailed responses. Has adguard any track record of collecting data? Is there a way to know?

I’ll check it out - thanks!

I’ll check out mikrotik - thanks!

I don’t really understand the rest of what you said haha

Thank you for the reply - you’ve offered a great opportunity to ask another question 😂

I was looking at adguard. Is this something worth the subscription? I was looking at it because it seems to handle a lot of ads, including those on mobile games and stuff. But in my cursory glance, people are saying it’s not safe…

I’ll look at the GL-iNet because a) I want a powerhouse and b) I want nothing to do with flashing firmware haha

I need to replace my router as it’s coming to end of life. I want one with vlan so I can put all my iot on a separate lan. Any recommendations?

They already send the tv’s out at cost to collect your data to sell.

They’re starting to ship them with chips in them to send the data away whether connected to WiFi or not

And they’re taking screenshots of what you watch, including when you plug in a laptop.

We’re almost there

Canada for me!

Yes!

Holy cow haha. I “bought” so much music there. They got a ton of obscure gypsy brass band stuff for me when I asked too (Fanfare Ciocarlia)

Memory unlocked.

I definitely know what you’re talking about (dispite not remembering the name of it) but they had everything. And if they didn’t, you could request it and they’d find it.

I miss that site now

I just choked on my drink. Fucking hilarious

This is the nicest way someone’s put it. I’ve tried to switch to Linux three or four times but until there is a distro that makes it plug and play like Windows or mac its going to be a tough sell. I consider myself tech savvy enough (I can google things, and for goodness sake at the bare minimum I can cut and paste into the terminal) but the barrier for getting Linux to work is too high right now for a very large part of the population.

I have W10 computer running the arrs and my plex server that I’m going to have to figure out as I can’t get W11 on it.

I want to do it so bad!.. but I think I’ll probably just end up getting a new, used computer that can run W11

Same here!

Although I do love “Blame Brett”
