Nice catch!

I also started using this recently and it’s very plug and play. Just open and run. It’s the only client so far that feels like I could recommend to non-geeks.

Oh, Dexter!

Find a new art, whether that’s creating or consuming. Or go to places where people hang out. Thrift shops/pawn shops can be fun to browse and sometimes you’ll find a hidden gem. Libraries are good too.

I have collected several YouTube channels that focus on educational content over the last several years. Many of which no longer get put in recommendations. My feed is almost entirely nonpolitical there.

I find all my bad news on Lemmy, unfortunate as it is.

A big problem with trees is roots, especially in cities with dense underground infrastructure. If there’s an actual way to produce the same amount of oxygen as a tree in a smaller space, I’m all for it. I’m honestly okay with how these look, assuming low maintenance.

Is this a wild Candlejack reference? Better tell everyone to avoid saying Candlejack. Hey everyone! Don’t say Candleja–

You’re specifically asking about B-Movies here. They’ll grab whoever the heck fills the chair.

If it sounds good enough for the story to be told and trick someone into watching it, the goal was achieved. Time for the next movie!

Most of the time, if the dialog is delivered and actors are on set, that’s really all that matters for tax purposes.

I think the truth of it is, good sound engineering costs money, time, or both. I both ran sound and did sound design for local stage theater and I was shocked at how little the designers knew how to make their transitions seamless and avoid clipping, resonant frequencies, static, and a whole mess of other issues, many of which need fixes during recording rather than post.

It took me about 5 years working with audio software before I was making stuff for other people but a lot of other people have the confidence to learn their skill working with live projects, project result be damned. I go back and listen to my early stuff and I hear all sorts of mistakes I didn’t even know I was making.

Access to good hardware/software can also be a major detriment. I’ve had to sacrifice many design ideas due to available tools. When at the end of the day, it comes down to bad audio vs no audio at all, there’s an obvious winner.

A self-hosted VPN is the most secure free way to host your Jellyfin. I’ve had to learn the hard way over the years, but all the features and control you gain for hosting services yourself comes with all the same responsibilities and risk that the provider would be taking on for you.

The money you spend on their service is the alternative to the many hours it takes to learn how to properly host your own server.

You can definitely learn how to do it and it will be difficult and confusing at times, but that’s what the community is there for. I recommend joining a Matrix server or similar so you can get more real-time feedback for when you’re just getting started.

Totally understand not wanting to take the risk, though. Just something worth considering.

I love how as soon as you start to break down certain Far Side comics, the horrors unfold exponentially. Him wearing leather means they’re in a world with humans, but this also means cows are sentient to a point that they have homes.
