But they’re quests

I just want to make sure you notice it says “encrypted messaging” meaning matrix as a service, as opposed to “encrypted messages”, meaning selling your messages.

Unfortunately if you take alternatives out of the running you’re kind of just left with impotent rage against one of the biggest companies in the world and their shareholders.

Why would Microsoft ever care about some mildly upset users on Lemmy when they know said users are locked into their product for life?

I also learned that one today…

My personal hypothesis, again, having not read murakami in years，is that the storylines are so whimsical and unexplained that they all blend into each other. The first story is an adventure. The subsequent ones feel too similar to the first.

Is the pei build plate in need of rejuvenation by chance?

I’m not a very active printer, but everything I’ve seen about tpu printing on pei sheets suggests that it sticks too well - oftentimes ripping chunks of pei out.

If your sheet is pretty old, iirc you can rejuvenate it by rubbing it with some fine steel wool.

Also, have you tried a raft instead of a brim?

It’s been a while since I’ve read murakami, but my impression has always been the journey was better than the destination. I remember the feeling of having finished the book, not quite sure what happened, but the remnants of a fever dream drifting about.

And ears!

100%. This is just due to the cost of hitting their servers in case you can’t reach your network

Right, but IIRC anyone can go on the plex.tv website and use shared servers due to the “proxy”

Very true, I just didn’t know about it, maybe due to the app I use.

As someone who’s been on Lemmy for a year, TIL avatars are a thing lol

Louis Rossman, a strong advocate for the right to self-repair, has an extensive, bottom to top guide on self hosting your own services. It starts from introducing what a modem is and what role it plays, and it ends with an entirely self hosted cloud. It comes in article as well as 13 hour video form. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get started self hosting - it doesn’t just introduce software you should learn, but it also shows you how to configure it.

I finally got link warden up and running, but I’m chasing down some failures on a few websites.

Also realized that me biting the bullet for unlimited bandwidth (screw you Comcast!) means I can run archive team warrior, so that’s been going.

It sounds like you’re looking for a mind blowing sander-lanche.

I’d highly recommend going through Ted Chiang’s book “exhalation”. A more popular example of his work is the movie “arrival”, which was based on one of Ted Chiang’s short stories.

It’s a collection of short stories, but don’t be misled - these stories have stuck with me for years, and as someone who has also read all of the cosmere, it is these short stories that have the biggest twists, and also the largest impact. A few of my favorites are below:

I’ve always wondered to myself, "how many of my youngest memories are my own, and how many are in reality, stories told around photos that I’ve seen? The story “The truth of fact, the truth of feeling” makes you think about the role of technology in our memories through one example in the past, and one proposed in our future.

“What’s expected of us”, free on Nature, is a haunting story going over the role of free will that can be read during a bathroom break.

Finally, “anxiety is the dizziness of freedom” had one of the biggest gut punches I’ve ever read. One best gone in blind, I think.

Syncthing-fork for Android is the only tricky bit

Use obsidian enough and your brain also just starts to interpret raw markdown lmfao.

I’ve definitely caught myself using md to format pen and paper notes before.

And equally important, how do you do your backups? What system and to where?

Organization scheme, ease of use of the voice channels, cross platform compatibility.

We briefly looked into discord alternatives. Element x isn’t mature enough, schildi chat could be viable. Revolt seemed to be the front runner, but the voice chat was awkward to use since it didn’t show when people were in channels, and the noise cancelling of discord was sorely missed.
