So cool to learn about these, thanks! I’ve tried and failed to self-host Nextcloud in the past, but really need to give it another go. Their contacts app is also something I’ve wanted for a while now.

This looks promising, thank you! I’m a novice self-hoster and look forward to learning more about this one.

For real. This one got me the best:

“We held a meeting and decided being radically open about gender while adopting a puritanical outlook on sex was the best way to shock Boomers to death.”

The question everyone’s dying to know

Those are cool, never seen or heard of them before in my part of the US. We use reusable kcups, so we put a filter and grounds in mesh/plastic shell. We like them because we can choose single servings of anything, like our local beans or herbal stuff like teeccino. But yeah Senseo pads look pretty great.

Good to hear! The Obsidian plugin has worked great for me so far. It really simplifies note taking.

Why is Pocket discontinuing Pocket for Mac?

We are creating a more consistent user experience across mobile and web, making it easier for you to discover, save and access your content on any device, at any time.

Incredible explanation. Btw, Omnivore is a great open source alternative with a macOS app for anyone needing to migrate somewhere.

Lame answer but YouTube. Channels in the vein of freecodecamp.org and Stanford Online are incredible. Any skill, hobby, repair, or question I can think of probably has videos there.

Their answers there do make it sound like clicks are necessary, but it’s my understanding that advertisers pay for both clicks and impressions. That’s why everyone gets a tree counter that goes up just for searching. Granted it’s a very small earning for impressions, which is why it takes 50+ searches for a single tree.

You’re right, your IP is anonymized after 1 week. Their privacy policy seems great to me. I just turn off uBlock origin for Ecosia and don’t mind quickly scrolling past a couple of ads at the top of results.

It’s my firefox default search and I rack up a ton of trees for doing many quick and basic searches. If I ever need a more complex search, I use a different site. It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing commitment.

Great point, thank you. Backing out into https://cs.lmu.edu/~ray/classes/it/, I see there’s tons of good notes from that computer networks course, much appreciated!

Does jellyfin handle audiobooks? For some reason I found the service lacking a couple of years ago, but can’t remember why.

So I got Plex pass and really enjoy it. The Prologue app gives you an audible-like interface for audiobooks that I love. Plexamp for music and Plex Dash to monitor the server. Audnexus matches audiobooks to Audible listings for the metadata. Plex movies and tv match to get metadata, trailers, behind the scenes, cast list, and rotten tomatoes reviews. If Plex ever gets too commercialized/restricted for some reason I’ll switch, but for now I couldn’t be happier.
