    I have Pushover. I love it. I have a bash alias that I use to notify me when some command completes. I get a notification on my phone, and a tap on my wrist letting me know some ho…

    What about the constant Brave Premium ads? I got many notifications every day asking me to pay them, I couldn’t find a way to disable them. They had intrusive ads for premium in ev…

    The web is slowly becoming chrome only and I hate it. I recently had to switch to Chromium because Firefox simply did not work for the websites at my job.

    I looked into using ffmpeg to “compress” video podcasts by lowering the framerate a lot, but it didn’t seem to do as much as I thought (about 50% size reduction). The theory was th…

    I’ve had fiber at my house from day one provided by a local ISP. Comcast came in and buried their own fiber lines (years later) for all the houses in my neighborhood. Soon after, m…

    I disabled my eBay app login pop up because it would never come. My login would sit pending forever. Would much prefer TOTP, even if a little slower.

    I disagree that SMS two factor is more secure than a password alone. I have found that once you enter your phone, it is more trusted than your password (meaning it alone can reset …

    I have an open-source project that is similar to this. Its purpose is to allow easy creation of an off-grid digital library. It can automatically download videos, archive web pages…

    I absolutely loved the first film. I am very excited for the second part. I enjoy long movies, so having two parts is good. One part of the first movie that sticks out to me is see…

    Their data is pretty much always wrong for me. I share my father's name, so whenever I do a credit check they ask me about the homes I owned before I was even born... Unfortunately…

    Perhaps there is a tree bark scroll somewhere... using lampblack ink... written by candlelight from wild bees' wax? Erm, which language is the least capitalist?

    After a bit of searching, apparently there is www.find.coop. I see most of the communities are in New York City. I'm sure they will welcome you in, just be sure to bring some money…

    Yes, that is the second half of the documentary. They were trying to come up with delicious recipes to take advantage of the situation. I don't imagine I would like to eat jellyfis…

    I watched a documentary years ago about jellyfish invading Japan. Basically, the jellyfish population was exploding because the fish didn't exist to eat the baby jellyfish and keep…

    I used PlayOn. I copied the files to my Plex. I didn’t burn any to disk. Looks like they have recently gone subscription only. I wouldn’t recommend them anymore. The irony…

    They push their own ad supported streaming. They continually place adult oriented recommendations where my kids can see (no matter how many times I remove them).

    I recently canceled my Prime subscription. One of the major reasons was all the pre-roll ads. I refuse to pay, and also have to watch ads. I ripped the few shows I had purchased (t…
