I’ve never used last.fm but I saw this video the other day that suggests a way to use it with listenbrainz to create your own algorithm to help ween off subscription services. I’ve been meaning to go back and take some notes but maybe it’s of use?

Which comment is yours? I don’t see your username.

Yeah, I was wondering how on earth this would work. If my organization doesn’t operate or host in Utah and they file suit against me why wouldn’t I tell them to pound sand?

Apropos to absolutely nothing, what countries do y’all use when torrenting with a vpn?

If you prefer this particular dystopian vision with chuckles, Rifftrax did it and was pretty good as I recall.

God I love SCP so much. Probably why I loved Control so much, it was like playing SCP: The Game or something.

Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens.

Lots of great advice here but this stands out as a really good bit that a lot of people (including myself) need to consider.

Weekend proooojeeeeeect! 🎵

I was really enjoying wallabag for a while, but after an update (or something?) the container no longer connects to the db and I haven’t been smart enough to figure out why yet.

BUT when it works it’s got a nice interface and the Firefox extension clips articles quickly. Biggest downside I’ve run into is the iOS app can’t make highlights or annotations, and it sometimes randomly reloads an article while reading and ‘forgets’ its place.

“Draper heard about the whistle from other phreakers. The whistle easily played at 2600Hz, the perfect tone to, in Apple Inc. [co-founder Steve Wozniak’s words], “seize a phone line.”

Huh, I had always wondered why the hacking magazine was called 2600. Guess that explains it, neat!

Manual ordering of images in albums is an absolute must before I adopt any image management system. It’s wierd to me that seemingly none of the FOSS systems support it (considering that most of us are datahoading control freaks).

I thought Mullvad didn’t port forward any more so torrents didn’t work with it?

Awesome, cheers!

Which courses do you recommend?

I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? I’m not so deep into it yet that I couldn’t switch to Linkwarden if it’s better.

My main uses would be archiving articles and highlighting passages.

With the demise of Omnivore I was about to roll out an alternative on my NAS. How does this compare to Wallabag?

Yeah but how do you consult those rules? How often are they updated? How do you get notified of updates?

The fact that there are no answers to these questions and therefore everyone is working with mismatching rule sets makes the whole thing useless. You can be totally well meaning and still piss off a server because somehow you don’t know what the currently acceptable magic number is.

I recently visited the states for the first time in a decade and didn’t find out until afterwards that 15% is now considered by some people to be “low”. Sorry everyone who I tipped, I shafted you without realizing it. 🤷‍♂️

I’m fairly tech savvy, still on my Xr and feel no reason to change. Battery will probably be the deciding factor before anything else.

Why don’t they just make the whole plane planet out of the black box paint.

You rock, thank you!
