What does the potato look like to you?

Sorry, the Nvidia Shield. It’s super old, but still best in class.

Kodi running on an (old) Nvidia Shield Pro, reading from a NAS via dlnr. This works nicely and I don’t get any quality degradation… Except for HDR+ which the shield doesn’t support and I was stupid and bought a Samsung TV, which is bad for numerous reasons, but also this one.

And of course, we are now closing in on the decade since it was released, and still no viable replacement.

This sounds slightly like the premise of the movie Paycheck. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0338337/

Personally I mostly prefer the experience of doing things. Writing books, coding software, building things… They are what brings value to me on a personal level. Looking at the kids’ playhouse in the garden brings value because I built it. Writing a book would mean something because I wrote it. If I just magically had it, it would be meaningless, even if it happened to be what I would have written, had I been arsed to do it myself.

Running home assistant with a few addons on a mostly dormant raspberry pi. This totals to 19 lines.

It sounds weird and I don’t get why “Evil” wouldn’t be a better fit. But then, English is my second language, so maybe you could enlighten me?

I know earth might be more bluey than Venus, but I would love to live on Bingo. And we’re kinda like fleas anyway so I think the theme is a good one.

“Evilness”?

Note that immich go doesn’t need you to extract the zip files. Also, you can set each file to 50GB making everything a lot easier.

Maybe you could use the immich face recognition to delete after import?

Not sure Alita can be seen as a standalone movie, but oh my dog I need the sequel already!

Adding to this, I really thought Bad Science was a great book that more people should read. It explores alternative medicine, where it comes from and its efficacy (or lack thereof). It helps that Ben Goldacre is equally critical of the medical industry and their practices.

I have no particular interesting definition about me, but that last panel… I know someone who is just like that. It’s not that she’s rude, she’s just scatterbrained while she does ask politely she’s moved on almost before the question is concluded, so she absolutely won’t hear your answer and just assume that your loud protestations are in eager agreement to her offer.

Well, no, I’m on paternity leave. But also no, my workplace has a paid day off on the 31st of December.

I created an open source image gallery (floating image) in my spare time. Some company (Archos) wanted to embed it into their products, but wanted me to add support for 3rd party hosts (I had Flickr, they wanted Google, photo bucket and others). I earned about €3000 on the work and my project got better for it. Not completely unheard of, but probably the most unusual way I have made extra money.

I have all those habits, and while I’m not poor I try to instil them in my children.

Used to be Spotify, now Tidal. Would prefer Qobuz, but it’s significantly more expensive on the family tier.

Usually on headphones, og on HEOS via tidal connect - or, I would have preferred that, but it’s super broken, so now from the tidal integration (not connect) on a wiiim…

I will flee to neidu3.

Eh, to each their own. I liked it. I also liked the different pacing than the movie. It made more sense.

I recommended The Painted Man, which I had just read and thought was pretty good. A friend of mine read it (and liked it) and, contrary to my fate, proceeded to continue the series. Next time I saw him he was fairly mad at me, stating the the series took a sharp downturn in quality after the first one. After this I haven’t been able to get him to read any other books, despite the one I actually recommended being fairly good. So in a way, this was me recommending a really bad book. Which just happened to be good.
