How are the cloth bag pots? Do you find you have to water them more often? I imagine they dry out a bit faster than "standard" solid pots.

Both of those movies are excellent for very different reasons

While I agree, China controlling the narrative on their platform isn't a great option either.

The Grand Budapest Hotel - visually beautiful, the story never slows, altime favorite

The black and white one with the billy nayer show?

I was not ready to see Mars Attacks. What is worse is knowing it is campy and ridiculous but I still can't make myself watch it again as an adult.

While I agree, isn't the end goal setting up a base on the moon?Hopefully it will be science first and tourism later. I wish I could just fast forward to star trek time :)

Video games: Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Pizza Opossum, PlateUp!

Physical game: Crokinole

Just reading through the acknowledgements and preface made me excited to read this. Thanks for the link!

Excellent write up!

I am so confused, I thought grenades did more damage. Or is it that those people don't know they are dead yet?

They are a total game changer if you have the floorplan for it. We are one story with no carpet so it works well.

Mr Roboto, so we can tell him domoarigato :)

Noooo that is the worst. I got to 547 days and fucked it up. It is always around this time of year too. I am being extra vigilant with my entries this year because I want the full year of dots to print out as a poster.

My god, daylio is the best app I have ever purchased. I have also been using it for years. The ability to have so much data on your life can really open your eyes to trends you wouldn't notice otherwise. 308 days in row right now.

I am a huge fan of my Trekz Aftershocks, they are bone conductive headphones that rest on your temples. I like them because you can still hear your surroundings and they won't fall off.

That's a heckin bold claim there. I will be thinking of you if it ever comes to my town.

I think we should reclaim queer as a good catch all for everyone, though I personally like 🌈 Rainbow Mafia 🌈. I also like what CyberEgg pointed out with the term 'punk' starting off as a slur only to be owned by the group.

RealLife is leaking again... And I like it

Just keep 'news' out of their name. Fox Entertainment, or Faux Entertainment.

The bees most people are familiar with do live in hives, but as far as I know, there are more bee species that do not.

Please check out Sports by the same band. Really captures my feelings when people start talking about sportsball Sports

I highly recommend Ubuntu Desktop for homelab stuff.

I recently set up my self-hosted system and went down this path:
Ubuntu Server - decided against it because terminal only is tedious sometimes
Ubuntu Desktop - easy, popular (so more documentation), comes ready with Docker
Decided to use Yacht for my container manager and have been happy with it so far, super simple compared to other options out there but you still have the control you need

current containers:

• Home Assistant to unify all smart home gadgets
• Nginx Proxy Manager to create secure reverse proxies so some services are available to the internet for remote use
• Photoprism for all my photo / personal video management
• Plex to serve my media
• Dashy a dashboard for all your services? I still need to learn and play with this one
• Firefly III a personal finance tool, hard to configure but seems super useful once everything is set up and imported. still learning this one too
• Minecraft Server

I definitely want to add to this list. I want to get some stuff behind a VPN and sail the open seas to fill out my plex server, I just want to make sure I am being as safe as possible.

No op, but I did the server first and then switched to desktop for the sole reason of wanting to click on some things instead of terminal only

I see you have a container for a Space Engineers server, would you mind telling me what you are using? I would love to have a container for it instead of running torch on the desktop.

Some old palaces in Japan have "nightingale" floors that purposely squeak to keep people from sneaking in. Could be a security feature outside your room
