Back on reddit there were those who had alerts set every time the word came up across the site, then they’d brigade the fitness and health subreddits with their vegan crew to derail any conversations. It was really annoying. No clue if that’s still a problem because lolreddit

Most of my automations are lighting-based, so my favorites are both simple in theory but I can’t imagine going without them:
1.) When I get home (or near home) and it’s after dark, the living room lights and the TV turn on.
2.) Not really an automation on its own, but when I lay down to bed I turn off my bedroom lights through the HA app. I’m so used to it that the thought of turning the bedroom lights off at the switch then fumbling through the dark to bed sounds barbaric at this point.

They appear to be available for order right now? I didn’t enter payment details, but kits are in stock.

It slowly comes into its own for a bit, then starts nosediving for a few episodes culminating in the godawful penultimate episode. The finale is really nice, though!

Ooh, I’d heard of htop but btop is new to me!

2023.11 looks like a great release! I’m still holding off until a week into the month like I always do to ensure I catch the major bugfixes, but I’m excited to see what I can do with the todo lists!

Stop spreading clickbait.

Finally a GREAT episode this season! Some of the jokes fell flat and this wasn’t a top 5 episode, but it was still really good!

…there was already a simple version used for favicons that didn’t look as bad, it’s the one on the right. Switching to just using it for everything would be fine, instead of this… thing with the awkward left branch joining the main one at the bottom.

They are currently on a shitpost train.

They’ve been on one since I migrated from Reddit, I don’t think they’re going to stop.

“Ironic” shitposting is still shitposting.

Good job, Tails! Now fly me to that platform over there…

Here are a few great channels from my Youtube subscriptions!

Tasting History with Max Miller hits a perfect cross-section of my interest in cooking and my interest in history. Max goes through a historical recipe each episode and pauses part of the way through to explain the history of the dish.

Minute Food has lots of short (sometimes under a minute!) videos about the science behind cooking.

Chinese Cooking Demystified is a husband-and-wife duo living in China that goes over traditional Chinese recipes, I especially like how in the voice-over they frequently list substitutions for ingredients that may be difficult to find outside of China.

Atomic Shrimp does far more than just cooking, but the cooking videos on his channel always give a neat insight into the everyday meals an older British IT Specialist makes.

Why are some gamers happy about a new game in a popular series?

It takes a lot to make a stew…

why did you post an article from a propaganda site

I like the boxes and fence one more, this just feels super-contrived

Don’t ask for life advice from strangers on the internet who have no incentive to give you GOOD life advice

Good Omens by Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is a classic, once I finished it I got into American Gods by Gaiman and then into Pratchett’s Discworld series

Came here to say the same. Used to be closed then I got a cat and now I can’t imagine waking up without her napping on me
