I never denied it. But not everyone has the same flaws. I might even have this exact flaw, but not everyone has it.

That's bullshit. Not everyone is like this. I'm sure there are many who share my political beliefs, who fall for this shit. Maybe I do too. But for you to say that everyone does this is bullshit. This sort of thinking only serves to normalize idiocy.

Raw chickpeas. The small, black kind. I soak them overnight in cold water, and have them for breakfast along with a shot of espresso.
I got it from my dad. He used to have them with tea.

- Pretend you need to leave.
- Pretend to drive away.
- Pretend to remember that you actually need to be here.
- Pretend to not be disappointed in yourself.
- Park again.

I know about Jellyseerr, but I find it not worth it since there are very few people that send me requests. Messaging apps are enough for that.

I also teach college students lol. People can't even figure out how to upload assignments from their phone. Had a student tell me that she broke her laptop, so can't submit an assignment even though it was already written. She was gonna scan it from her phone, airdrop to her laptop, and then upload the files to Canvas. I tried to explain that she can do it on the mobile app for Canvas instead. I eventually had to give up and asked her to drop it at my office. It literally felt like explaining stuff to my ma.

I think the gap stems from need. Most people only learn what they absolutely need to. My sister and I are just 3 years apart in age. Yet I am pretty familiar with tech, while she knows next to nothing. I was always there to fix whatever broke. Even now she knows that if she needs to watch something, she can just ask me to add it to my Jellyfin server. I often have to remote into her system to fix stuff.
The Gen Z we're talking about here mostly grew up using phones, and phone OSes do their best to hide any complexity away from the user. So they never learnt anything. I'm also technically Gen Z (very early), but growing up in rural India, I had to teach myself how to pirate since streaming wasn't a thing yet (our internet was too slow for that anyway), and the local theater didn't play anything except local mainstream cinema.

I'd say that mpv also has a place near VLC when it comes to playing everything.

I mostly use mpv to play local music nowadays. (Most of the music I play is streamed using a Navidrome server with Feishin as the frontend.) Back when I did use a proper audio player on Linux, Harmonoid was my go-to.

These things can be so funny sometimes. My old PC from high school decided to die the exact day when I bought my new laptop. Mf won't boot up no matter what I did. Had to connect that hard drive to another machine to recover some data. Now I keep backups of everything.

Were all the tests available at the same time? Usually there are different times for submitting tests and also for assignments. I've never taken a course where you can just submit them whenever you want. For assignments, maybe, possibly with some penalty. But never for tests.

Better Call Saul. I find it so amazing how they were able to take an existing (brilliant in its own right) story, and extend it in both past and the future. It fits in so nicely. There are very few (if any) plot holes, and the story is enjoyable in its own right. Add to that the superb acting of almost everyone, and the elite cinematography. I don't think there's a single aspect of this show that I don't like.

I only use my own installer scripts with LURE, so I'm not sure about the safety of the publicly available repos. But the project itself seems to be pretty solid and reliable.

AUR. If it doesn't exist on AUR (very unlikely, but happens sometimes), I make a package for it.
On non-arch distros, I often use LURE.

Navidrome does that. I think you just used a bad frontend. Try Tempo if you're using Android. Or Feishin on desktop.
SexualPolytope 1mo ago • 100%
I've been very happy with Navidrome. I have it accessible on a subdomain, so I can just use it from wherever I want. Feishin is a great frontend for Linux desktop, and Tempo is a great frontend for Android.
My friend uses Jellyfin instead of Navidrome, and he's also happy with it. Both the frontends that I mentioned work with Jellyfin as well.

I want to get a new VPS. It'll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need. I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It's fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well. I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated. P.S. I'm based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency. Update: Hetzner's CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I'm planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It's great that they don't lock you in with yearly plans.
I currently run a personal wiki for some notes, recipes, and stuff. It's set up using Wiki.js as the server. I'm the only regular user, and I feel like it's a bit of an overkill. Does someone have any suggestions for a more lightweight wiki server? I tried DokuWiki and mostly like it. But the UI is very old and dare I say, ugly. I love the UI of Wiki.js btw. My main criteria is that it should be lightweight. I don't need fancy editing features. Happy to work with raw html or markdown files. I need some kind of permission management to hide some private wikis from the public, but otherwise I don't really care.
My goal is to automatically close the environment while editing a `tex` file. [There was an issue for `vimtex`](https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/issues/1193) asking for basically what I want to achieve. They achieve it using snippets as mentioned there. The problem is, I have no idea how to set it up. I've never used snippets in `nvim`. I have `vim-vsnip` and `cmp-vsnip` installed as it was needed for another plugin to work. Is it possible to implement this using those? It can be noted that in `vimtex`, an environment can be closed by typing `]]` which is a mapping of `vimtex-delim-close`. I basically want to emulate the behavior in VS Code using LaTeX Workshop. It auto-closes the environment, adds an indented line in the middle, and moves the cursor there. If anyone has any other ideas about doing this without snippets, that's welcome too.
This post is mostly for me to look at alternatives. I currently subscribe to [Trade](https://drinktrade.com). But recently I've been hearing about their bad practices like sending packages with wrong weight, or paying very little money to the roasters. If you like your current subscription, please place a link so that others can check it out. If you don't, and want to switch, tell why so that I can avoid it too.
For the last few months, I've been splitting a bag of coffee beans into 2-3 portions and freezing them. I've seen that it extends the freshness by a bit. Now, I've been storing them in older coffee bags (the standard sealable ones) since they take up less space than jars and also I'm just reusing something that would've gone to landfill/compost. I do clean them of residues of older beans and don't use a bag more than 2 times since I get new bags whenever I buy beans anyway. Are there any health/quality issues that might arise from this that I should be aware of? Should I just store them in sealed glass jars instead?
I currently use [TickTick](https://www.ticktick.com/) for managing my todo tasks. i haven't been able to find an FOSS replacement for it yet. The main features that I need in an app like this would be: 1. It should be accessible from the desktop. Don't necessarily need an app, a website is good enough. 2. It should have a decent android app with a home screen widget for listing all the upcoming and overdue tasks. 3. It'll be really nice if it can interpret date and time from the task description to add reminders. For example, writing "Remind me to get some milk at 6pm" will put a reminder for that task at 6PM. Please let me know if you know about such an app. Thanks.
