if you’re up for self-hosting, I generally buy music from Bandcamp or Qobuz. It sits on my home server running Navidrome, and connected to my tailnet. I stream to my phone, tablet, etc. on the go using Tailscale and a subsonic client.

it was about a weekends worth of setup to get in a good spot. couple years ago I’d have said consider setting up your local music library in Plex, get a plex pass, then use Plexamp. But with the pricing changes it’s nowhere near really worth using unless you already have a plex lifetime pass.

Yeah GOG is where I get my current offline installers from. Could you point me in the direction of the CLI tool that automates updates?

So how do updates work? If I download an Offline Installer, then the original developers/publishers post an Update to the game will this grab that update for me automatically or do I have to redownload a new version of the Offline Installer and stash it on the box running this?

How deep do i have to go to get to the dangly thing in the back of the butt??

Appreciate it. I’m only passively aware of these topics. Thanks for sharing info rather than just jumping to insults and judgement.

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know any of this. If you have some sources on this stuff please share, I’d like to get more familiar with this sort of thing. Quick question though: How would installation of runtime surveillance even work for Azire? They don’t have local or remote access to do that.

According to their security page it doesn’t seem like that would matter; they wouldn’t have any information to share. And it helps that they’ve been audited by a third party

Guess I’m going back to AzireVPN.

PS2 or PS1. I played the PS2 more than the PS1 but the PS1 is more nostalgic for some reason. I don’t think the games were better per say but I have fonder memories on SO2 than eg. Til the End of Time. Really wish they’d remake Tales of the Abyss tho

We’re already in the bad ending

they should’ve used brawndo. its got what plants crave

Exercise. Partly because I’ve gotten into a sport, but I also just enjoy seeing myself get into better shape even though I’m getting older. Things that felt physically impossible to do 90 days ago feel like a breeze now. Being at my desk for 8 -12 hours out of the day is way more exhausting than spending 2 - 3 hours at the gym.

3 rep tracking is better than 2 which is miles above 1 in my opinion. I got the Instinct 1 as a gift during the pandemic and hardly used it because it would drop reps too often to even be useful at the gym. The Instinct 2 was a decent upgrade for this in particular, but I would say the HR monitor in the Instinct 1 seemed slightly more accurate than the Instinct 2’s. I’m really happy with the Instinct 3 though. It seems like Garmin has addressed all my own complaints about the Instinct 2.

As for sweat, buddy I’m right there with you. I have to peel clothes off after every session but both the 2 and 3 don’t seem fazed by my sweaty arms. I do try to tighten my band a notch before each session to get accurate HR and that seems to help a lot. My only advice is that if you’re going for the 3 just grab the AMOLED version unless you’re outside A LOT. I originally got the Solar and it just would not hold a charge well even if I did frequent hikes. Returned it and swapped for the AMOLED and it’s generally holding a charge for me for ~ 18d with Pulse Ox turned off. No real complaints with the 3 just that I liked the displays on the 1 and 2s more than the colorful display of the 3, but functionality-wise it’s a step above both of them

I use both a Garmin Instinct 3 (AMOLED) and a Garmin Instinct 2. When I bought them I added ~ 25 Workouts I do normally. After that I paired it up with GadgetBridge. I use it to track my gym activities and sleep patterns. I hardly ever use the GPS feature, but sometimes I use it when I’m hiking.

Tactics Ogre but mostly because I’m playing too many other turn-base strategy games to really do it justice.

Just over 6 hours into Children of Dune. I read through the series when I was 10 years younger, but always skipped this one. At the time I just didn’t have this book though I had the rest. I like it so far; lots of the same overall concepts coming over from Messiah. I had an idea of what took place in this book, but I’m really enjoying the subtlety here even more than the previous 2 books.

Current rotation looks like

1. Caves of Qud
2. Space Warlord Organ Trading Sim
3. Streets of Rogue
4. Drova Forsaken Kin

All of them are sub 20GB, heck they might all even be sub 10 GB
