This reminds me of what Xbox tried to do all those years ago, but Nintendo is actually getting away with it.

I’ve been just buying the music on 7digital or Bandcamp lately. Forgot this app was around

I loved my Google Home when I got it in 2017, but when I got into home automation, I realized it is dumb to have to tell a device to do things. Motion sensors basically replace the main thing Google Home does and a Bluetooth speaker is cheap to buy.

I never trusted that they weren’t listening to me all the time with the speakers and I never looked back after I donated them away.

Lol, no. I don’t drink at all anymore considering how bad it is for your health, but having a drink before returning to work seems like an insanely bad idea.

Just checked my emails and both were pwned. Bummer

Oh no, we’ll have to use something other than terrible, AI ridden MS office? How terrible

So I checked the config for the external drive again and discovered when it was remounted it had added a, “1” to the end of the drive name. I went back into the .env and changed the library location to reflect this. Restarted docker and it is now connecting again. Obviously it is not ideal to be using a external HDD, but I wanted to test immich out for a while before investing into a bigger self hosting rig for all my services.

Ultimately problem solved though

Drive was just connected with USB to mini PC so it was also unplugged and I had to remount it to the PC. I looked in the .env file and the path still looked good. I had considered this was an issue too. I figured that restarting docker with the drive properly mounted would fix this though. Still getting, “connection was reset,” though

Still useful if you utilize calibre

My kindle has been on airplane mode for years and I read new books all the time with it, but hey, whatever works for you

This is why you never connect your kindle to the internet. Calibre forever

I feel bad for the kids put through this hell

I thought rd got shut down

Nintendo keeps stacking up the L’s

Too late Microsoft, I just moved to Linux this week and im not looking back

7 Digital is a great site to buy music files legally. I use that mainly. Personally I would not buy 500 songs at once, but basically I buy my favs and slowly add songs I really like over time. Innertune is great in the meantime to listen to what you want to without paying a subscription

Now this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

When I was a kid I remember my grandparents would just put $50-$100 in a card and call it a day. I loved the gift of just money because the possibilities of what I could buy myself were endless. It made more sense for my grandparents too as they had no idea what kids my age wanted anyway and I would’ve likely been disappointed if they tried to buy me what they thought I wanted.

For whatever reason now though, it’s seen as lazy or uncaring if you just gift money. I would argue that this is some bs corporations have created to get us to feel obligated to buy an actual item. In my mind though, money is the best gift.

On a related note, my parents bought us a $100 giftcard one year and when we went to us it we discovered that there was a slip of paper covering the barcode. That slip of paper had a photocopy of another barcode on it, so when my parents put money on the card, it actually went on a different card. Pretty common scam we found out. When we called the stores help line, they said they could not help us. So yeah fuck giftcards. The companies themselves won’t even take steps to ensure they are secure. As long as they still got their money, they don’t care if scammers got to use the giftcard instead.

I try to just do stuff I enjoy. I’m a football guy so Sunday is a great day for me this time of year. If I’m not doing that though, I’m spending time with my wife and daughter or tinkering with things that interest me like emulation.

Overall I make it my day and try not to worry about what is happening tomorrow. I will say the thing that really puts it into perspective for me is that I left a job earlier in the year that was unhealthy. I was working overnights and weekends. Sometimes I was only home 8 hours before I had to go back. I decided it was controlling too much of my life and I moved back to a regular Mon-Fri job. I’m so happy to have a regular schedule again and weekends to myself. I do my best to appreciate the time I have now.

American Dad. It’s Family Guy made way better. The episodes are so original and creative. The first 7 seasons are all gold.
