Andy Cooks - amazing chef, easy to follow recipes (he uses metric first), but also a nice, down to earth, no-nonsense guy.

I’m relistening to Max Brooks’ “Zombie Survival Guide” while commuting and High Howey’s “Dust” (from the Silo trilogy) when I can focus. I managed to listen to 15 books this year so far, and I am really proud of myself for that. :)

Marry her!

Hai că n-o fi chiar așa de rău… A memui, sau a nu memui. Asta-i întrebarea!

I did remove the I :)

“am in paints?”

| embrace the Sun with arms outstretched so that my oblivion will be one of my own choosing.

Hot damn! I’ll be holding on to that!

To keep the highest three more visible using color? Idk, just a guess…

We’re using a self hosted Nexus instance at work. You probably don’t need all the features it offers, but it does its job really well. For free, too.

Zen & DDG. Fennec on mobile.

I have been using an Android XiaomiTV, with SmartTube and Jellyfin, Netflix and Prime. I do have a pihole, though.

That’s why I have an alias that does an unattended update and then powers off. I run this every night.

I use Netcup. Reliable, simple, great deals from time to time (such as Black Friday).

Same for the Romanian “poimâine” (after tomorrow). We also have “alaltăieri” (the other yesterday). They are in use, quite common.

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!

It works great for me. Not for my wife though, who is textbook ADHD. She reads slow, and if she matches the speed for the audiobook to her reading speed, it gets boring :) the wonders of neurodiversity :)

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?

Pulp Fiction. Also, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. And Snatch. Also… aw man, there’s so many…

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).

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…
