They've been in the news daily with issues, Financial and otherwise. The sudden rush of people now just slows it all down.

I am glad I signed up yeas ago though, it was a hopeful time when I assumed technology would help fix us, and give us answers, and help me know things no humans before us could know.

Half the crap I downloaded from them is meaningless. Family tree is proprietary, and everything else is in formats I don't know what to do with. Not like I'll upload it again but it's just files I have with no purpose now.

I want to switch to jellyfin, I selfhost but I don't want to open a port directly to my server. I don't understand how everyone else figures this out and I'm apparently an idiot.

Also do people expect all who use my server to start a VPN each time? What if they leave it on and their other streaming services are using my bandwidth.

I don't understand and I have looked it up but I don't see a consensus.

They just put out a huge update for the shield. Mine still plays the vast majority of things perfectly, even hevc and 4k content. I am perfectly happy with my shield pro. I'd buy one again if the current one shits the bed.

What are my other options? Apple TV and what else? Everything else is ad ridden underpowered and lacking licenses to play media.

This meme made me gasp loud enough that my girlfriend was worried something was wrong.

Then I had to explain that I'm 41 years old and was just shocked by a dinosaur fact.

This comment is for a very niche audience but Lieutenant Malcolm Reed would enjoy this meme and also the pineapple.

This is the answer. The moon is passing through phases as it orbits and isn't perfectly aligned so there will always be shading and color variations.

I'm posting this video because they animate the different types of eclipse and also explain why it's red. So now it's just understanding that everyone's view is always "off to the side" so there is a gradient of color and brightness.

I wasn't a super active website user, and just followed in YouTube but after I watched the video, I did two things.

First, I tested my backup/restore on my truenas.

Second, I joined the patreon and probably stick around for a bit. Everything good seems to ask me for money, and it's exhausting but at the same time it's $36 a year and I just won't buy something I don't really need at Costco this month and it's covered.

I've had two failed harddrives in the last month. Not sure if bad batch or what. Thankfully the order these were on only were the two drives so may not see more. They are under warranty but it's still a pain!

Otherwise I'm enjoying Mealie lately for my recipes. Kinda nice having them all in one place but accessible by anyone in the house.

It wasn't even a good revenge story. It felt like no one was important and honestly I haven't seen it since release and can't remember much else.

That being said, I'll probably watch the second one and see how many bee puns they can fit in it.

Played Little Secrets with 3 other adults and then later with 2 additional teenage children. Super fun game, easy to learn, easy to play and was a lot of laughing.

Made by the same people as exploding kittens.

Also for context we play games every weekend, some intense and some relaxed. This is a relaxed game for end of the night or when the group is a little tired but wants to play something without a lot of rules.

I don't have experience with any readers until recently. Did some research and went with. Kobo colour. It has met expectations and I'm using it with no issue.

I wanted physical buttons.

I didn't want an Amazon device.
