What are your favorite shows and why?
  • I really like Black Mirror. I watched a bunch of TV shows, started and left midway through others, but I always go back to Black Mirror. Like the creator said, it's sci-fi techno dystopia. And he is working on the 7th season. One of the episodes will be a follow up to USS Callister. Awesome!

  • Full screen rotate "the other way"?

    Hey people. I have a bit of a niche situation. I use my phone with my left hand. When I hit the full screen button in YouTube or Jellyfin or any other app that can go full screen, the screen rotates to the right. So, if I rotate the phone the "natural way" for me, to the right, the image is upside down. Usually it only takes a second for the screen to rotate to the correct orientation, but sometimes it just refuses, so i have to do a weird dance with my phone (portrait-landscape-portrait-landscape).

    Any idea of a way to "fix" this? I use a pixel 8, if it matters.

    Day 69 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • I tried playing a couple of times with others, it was not my thing... I personally prefer alone. I have a certain style, I like base building and hoarding, and I go for very long games, usually lasting months IRL. I put in more than 1000 hours over many years, and I never got bored of PZ :)

  • A friend of mine shared this receipt from her local library which shows how much money she's saved by using it.
  • Same here. But with eBooks too. Sometimes my brain drifts for a while and I reread the same paragraph 5 times. So what I do is "double-dip". I listen to and read the ebook at the same time. This way my brain has no chance of escaping. This has also helped me with my English; oh, so that's how you pronounce albeit?

  • Good websites to track movies / shows / games?
  • I track my movie and TV show watchlists with trakt.tv. it's connected to my jellyfin and *arr stack.

    I don't game so that's of no interest to me. I use Kavita/mylar3 for comic books, audiobookshelf/readarr and storygraph for audiobooks. for music I use last.fm, again connected to my jellyfin server (with symfonium as a client).

  • Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it?
  • While my car was being repaired after a crash, the insurance company gave me a rental to use for the duration. The rental company only had a Land Rover Evoque (or something), and that car had the fancy led matrix lights. It was amazing! You could actually see the light being "shaped" on the road in front, going around incoming traffic, it was constantly moving. To me it was a bit distracting though...

  • Which Linux distro for beginners (with requirements)
  • That guide is great. Also, you can easily find some extra ram on eBay or Kleinanzeigen. I strongly recommend adding at least 4gb. Switching from a 1tb HDD to a 128-256gb SSD should also be pretty affordable and it will do wonders speed wise.

  • What do you think the voting age should be?
  • I have a 15yo kid with ASD. While she is highly functional, goes to a good public school, she can't decide which trash bin to use and will just freeze for a while, overthinking it... She can talk for hours about the anatomy of a cat, but knows nothing about politics, or how the world functions... I think 16 is too young to vote, but my perspective is warped.

  • What's your default pocket loadout?
  • Front right - small wallet, minimal key set. Front left - phone.

    My wallet only holds 4 cards (id, driver's licence, health insurance, debit card), sometimes cash (notes, no coins). I just take a couple of keys, for home and office, plus a Darth Vader Lego keychain.

    I vape, and I usually just hold that...

    If it's jacket (or hoodie) weather, I keep my vape and keys in a jacket pocket.

    When I go to the office, I have my backpack, and I transfer everything in there, except the wallet and phone.

  • Which distro?
  • i use a minimal arch with the zen kernel and hyprland for home, work and play. no kde/gnome. for me it's just right. except screen sharing in teams or discord, which haunts me... now it works, now it doesn't.

  • Docker Raises Prices Up to 80 Percent | ServeTheHome
  • I use docker at home and at work, nexus at work too. I really don't understand... even a malfunctioning service should not pull the image over and over, there should be a cache... It could be some fringe case, but I have never experienced it.

  • Whats on your USB stick? Looking for recommendations for handy tools
  • I'm an arch user, and also have a small proxmox based homelab. I always have a live Ubuntu around, the latest desktop version available. Good for troubleshooting. Also, latest proxmox, opnsense, pfsense, debian.

    Additionally, I have a small USB drive on my keychain with both USB C and USB A, where I keep some encrypted backups of important stuff, and I can access that from both my laptop and my phone.

    FileList.io shutting down by the end of the year :( UPDATE: not anymore :)

    One of the best private trackers out there. Sorry to see it go... You can read the reasons why in the link (in Romanian and English).

    UPDATE: it's no longer shutting down:

    >We were overwhelmed by your wishes and messages! > >You know that over the years, I've always said that the community has a significant voice. Your words have always mattered, and we've never been indifferent to them. Your voice has been heard, even now. > >I am delighted to announce that the website will not be shutting down! >Donations are now reactivated, so everything is returning back to normal. > >One of the founders of the website, God, is back and will take over the technical aspect to ensure the site continues to thrive. He is trustworthy, loyal, and things will certainly go well from this point of view. >However, we also needed someone to take care of the other aspects of the work. From now on, Oana will handle everything related to the staff, server payments, and all the internal matters that a SysOp does. She will get promoted to the SysOp class. She is more than capable and competent to maintain control and ensure that everything runs smooth internally. Congratulations! > >Together, they will continue the necessary work to keep this website alive. > >That being said, this announcement will be my last. I, EboLLa, am permanently retiring from the community. >I want to personally thank you all for all the private messages and wishes you've sent me. There have been so many, and I genuinely appreciate them from the bottom of my heart. You are all wonderful, and I appreciate each and every one of you! >I am and have been honored that I could contribute to your well-being! To all of you. Farewell and take care! :love: > >So let's wish Oana and God best of luck! > >With love and appreciation, >EboLLa
