This week? AdGuard Home to block ads network-wide. Optimizing it so I can compare it to my Pi-Hole to see which I prefer. We’ll see what obsession next week holds.
Where my ADHD homies at?
This is absolutely my life and it can go fuck itself, think ive had about 10 new potential careers this year.
When you go off the burn though it may aswell not exist.
hello fellow ADHD homelab homie
rn I have some time off so I’m attempting to force all my random code project repos to use the same structure. Paying down the tech debt at last
Hell yeah homie, go get that technical debt.
Did that earlier this year. Ultimately not a huge difference at the end of the day. Decided to go back to pihole but I don’t think you can go wrong with either.
I still have both for different reasons (probably ADHD reasons), but Adguard Home Sync is easier to setup for muli instances than syncing pihole. I
The first comment is about DNS in a homelab. This is fantastic, thank you
I’ve been streaming games from my PC to TV with moonlight & sunshine, now I’m setting up a docker container with steam built into it and giving it a whole GPU so I can game stream but my PC will still be usable with my other GPU.
Don’t know why, I’m the only person who uses it lol, guess it’s a cool thing to do.
We’re blown away back, in ur dust :(
Art I make (and what tempts me to make it)
The first one reminds me of this guy from Disenchantment. https://disenchantment.fandom.com/wiki/Me-Flavored_Water_Salesman
When I first did that one, I was thinking of it as a very cheesy pun at the time. I was thinking “barrel trolls, hmm imagine that drawn.”
I have always loved that dude.
Very cool, bae :) love the Pokémon/Oz pastiche
Thanks
My phone’s home screen.
I’m not obsessed with it, per se. I have it dialed in and don’t think about it much. But I use a special launcher and organize the app icons carefully. When I get a new app, I put time in to consider where it goes and where to shuffle things around. I’m very deliberate about the widgets I keep around. I’m proud of it and I’ve shared my layout and the apps I use on Facebook. So I think this counts.
Mind showing your home screen layout / config? I’m still using Nova Launcher bc I haven’t liked any of the other launchers I’ve tried.
I use Nova as well. I like it a lot. My home screen is just a grid of all my apps, with a folder for less-used apps. I have two widgets: a one-block local weather report, and a two-block battery meter (mostly to see the power remaining on my earbuds). Everything is on one screen, and I never have to scroll through the general app drawer.
Which launcher do you use? I’m bored of my current one but haven’t found anything new that makes me go wow yet.
Nova. It’s not fancy, but it gives me the control over the grid. I can remove icon labels. Etc.
EBay deals and thrifting. I can spend hours just looking at different things, seeing how much of a deal it is and not buying it
I need desktop / homescreen wallpaper that is minimalist enough to not be distracting and yet is more complex than a flat color or gradient. And a single one in place will bug me after a time, so I borrowed a bunch of powerpoint tech backdrops.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy this fact about you.
Perhaps you’d like metro frutiger aesthetic?
Or maybe Android Marshmallow’s wallpaper
Thank you for pointing me toward Metro Frutiger! Not quite my style but certainly a starting point for research!
Corals.
Specifically reef keeping. I will spend hours browsing coral on aquarium sites, looking to find the perfect one for my tank.
Do you have a favorite site to suggest how to get started?
Sorry, I do not.
I’ve been reefkeeping for over 20 years, I learned by working in a tropical fish store for years.
Thanks for inspiring me to take a crack at it myself! If I actually wind up starting a tank, I’ll try to remember to send you a message
Are you on the aquariums sub here? :)
I want to get a saltwater tanks someday. It looks a bit intimidating to see people putting in chemicals every 6 hours on YT channels, but I want to try it. Already have a small freshwater tank here!
I am not, I will have to go join.
If you’re just looking to get a salt water fish only tank, then there is no need to add anything once your tank is cycled and you’ve got fish in it. Just like freshwater, the types of fish you have dictate the level of difficulty in care. Just do some searches on beginner salt water aquarium guides and you should find a lot of results with walkthrus.
Oh yeah! I think I’d want to try corals, too. I love planted tanks, and miss the vibrant reefs of my childhood, which humanity has since wrecked pretty bad. Even if its just a small tank, it would be nice to have a small sliver of the natural world with me. :)
Simulation theory.
It’s like every few months developments happen that makes it even harder to ignore.
Ooh, care to link to any of your favorite things? I love simulation theory.
I have a few links in the community !SimulationTheory@lemmy.world
But for me personally it’s the thing I mention in this comment that’s most compelling. It just seems really unlikely that our world lore has something so ancient that’s also so specifically discussing things tied to the emerging picture of tech. It’s almost to the point of being heavy handed.
Interesting!! Do you have a link to the historic text?
I link the text, the cataloging of the later beliefs of the group following it in antiquity, and a philosophical text very useful in figuring out what it’s talking about here.
Thanks! Dealing with a pretty horrible abscessed tooth right now (fucking glitches in the sim!), so I’ll read later. Thanks again!
Good luck with the tooth!!
I’m obsessed with Astro Vans. I love them. I can’t get enough of them. And I own one!
The Vauxhalls?
No, Chevrolet.
Amazing. Both horrifically-poor manufacturers,and an almost identical name! 😂
This year, mostly GURPS. It’s such a delightfully comprehensive TTRPG. If you can think of it, you can do it, and odds are that unless you’re thinking of something really out there, it’s explicitly outlined in one of the source books. Even if it is really out there, you can probably find several forum posts outlining several ways to run the mechanics.
It’s not a perfect reality simulator, but it’s good enough for me.
Fans of GURPS, or anyone looking to hear it in action should check out the podcast “the film reroll” (if you haven’t already). They play through films as RPGs using GURPS and it’s fantastic! They even had the creator of GURPS on once as one of many people playing Leonard in Momento. Also, there are absolutely no adverts.
Cosplay and dinosaurs/prehistoric reptiles. I’m the girl that attends anime conventions in handmade, intricate costumes; then go to a fossil and gem and point out which mosasaur jaws, trilobites, and shark teeth are fake. Here’s a silly collage combining the two. Dr. Sattler and 'Dog’ter Grant. That’s my medical alert dog.

stop making everything sexual just because someone is a woman, god damn. touch some grass.
A lot of things. But specifically this week it’s the Lemmy v0.19 upgrade. I’m going through the github release, the various posts on the various instances, gathering every info I can find.
Math. More specifically, ring theory
What have you done? Anymore recommendations? This might become a new obsession.😂
the_miracle_aligner he has songs in old english, greek, old norse
I like how latin sounds the best though.
tiny sounds.
there is something so mesmerizing by hearing some small, almost universally ignored sounds. when stillness is interrupted by the soft rustle of paper, or I can hear some innocuous bug doing it’s thing. I also love the sound of animals chewing, but hate how humans sound when they do it. I once sat in detention at school, the room was so quiet. a fly landed on my desk, and I could hear it clean itself. it was so surreal. How many others have heard that sound?
It’s some people’s jobs to create/recreate and record those sounds for TV, games, and other media. I believe they’re called foley artists.
yeah! and the job was named after it’s most prolific artist, Jack Foley! I tell ya, if I could be a fly on the wall of a Foley Artist… Man… that’d be cool
I would watch Over the Garden Wall over and over and over which reminds me…
Well now it’s Infinity Train
Both amazing shows! Have you watched summer camp island?
No what’s that ? Is it similar?
It’s a cute animated show about a magical summer camp. From what I remember it isn’t as serious as the other shows, but still very much worth the watch if you can find it
