mertn,

Windscribe have a free product called control-d DNS which works like pihole but you don’t have to manage it yourself. Just set your router or PC DNS to point to the controld DNS server that suits what you want filtered.

mertn,

Ubuntu is fine as long as you avoid the default gnome. Xubuntu and kubuntu derivatives have been solid daily drivers for years now. Plenty of online support.

mertn,

I needed to use lynx yesterday. I was sshed into s headless server and had no choice. It gotctye job done.

mertn,

Dumped reddit, Google, streaming, android apps and Facebook. Replaced with proton, Plex, Lemmy. Grapheneos, kagi and mastodon.

I rent and have carpet everywhere. I have placed a disposable rug on top of the carpet around the eating/drinking area to catch all the mess.

I just went with pixel and flashed graphenos. Plenty of info for that.

Anything frozen. It arrives semi defrosted.

As a non American I can’t understand how anyone could vote for Donald twice.

mertn,

Faith should be classified as a mental Illness.

mertn,

I’m not signing up to read that without even a summary. Let the twits stay on twitter anyway.

mertn,

Two empty 20 tb hard drives because need more space

mertn,

I bought a bottle of single malt 3 days ago because it was heavily discounted. Stupid reason I know. It is still on the shelf over the fireplace unopened. Like a WW2 grenade ready to go off and cause damsge at any moment. Just for now I am sober.

mertn,

I am trying to do the same migration from plex to jellyfin but jellyfin keeps crashing on the server with ‘out of memory’ in the logs. As soon as I can stabilize that I will dump Plex lifetime. I initially had sync server setting turned on in Plex and Plex kept sending cleartext phone SMS about what I had watched the day before. That is turned off now. I asked Plex corp for a copy of my data. They sent it to me but ‘forgot’ to send the database table with watch history. They sent me that table when I complained it was missing. Fuck Plex and their spyware.

A soil moisture measuring device to tell when plants need watering. 2 for $10 on amazon.

mertn,

Yes they work well. No batteries needed. They give clear indication of dry/moist/soggy. I was over-watering and killing plants before I bought one.

mertn,

I have the network adapter disabled in BIOS. No viruses or Microsoft malware can enter.

mertn,

Proton for email and cloud storage. Graphenos on a pixel 7a for phone. Phone spps from aurora and fdroid. Kagi.com paid search engine too.

mertn,

See above. Plus I use Thunderbird for calendar.

mertn,

I only use Thunderbird calendar for myself so I don’t know. Proton includes a calendar offering in their package but I have not tried it yet.
