Curation is my answer. Return to the old ways of curating your own lists of resources and sharing them with other people. Web rings, blog rolls, link sharing, RSS

Is this loss?

I'm kind of with you on most American produced documentaries being obnoxiously dramatic. I especially hate when they add sound effects to historical footage. The exception that comes to mind is Ken Burns, emotional but not dramatized the way a History or Discovery channel show is.

Maybe try some of Werner Herzog's documentary films? They definitely include music and are viewed through the directors artistic lens but they certainly meet your criteria of stylistically different.

Some people do it as a political statement. Blocking Israel is a real example I've seen.

Kagi! Worth every penny of the subscription. The emphasis on privacy is a big deal for me but the killer feature is the ability to customize results. I have sites I personally like/trust towards the top and have an ever growing blacklist of sites that don't get shown at all. No more pinterest, spruce, or other seo spam sites!

I was thinking of how to use Sheets as a storage device. Reminded me of this video.

A vertical mouse saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome. A few years ago I started developing wrist and elbow pain in my mouse arm along with the numbness. It was getting so bad I would take frequent breaks to ice my wrist and would wear a brace at night. I started looking for ergonomic mice and decided to try out a $15 Anker one from Amazon. I felt relief the day I started using it and within a few days the symptoms were gone entirely.

Who is going to tell him?

In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM act requires companies to honor your opt out/unsubscribe request within 10 days. For particularly agressive mailing lists that don't honor unsubscribes I will happily report them as spam to my email provider, report them to the FTC, and send a cease and desist letter I generated with chatGPT to their legal@example.com mailbox.

I try not too think about it 😬

I would guess everything together is around 800 Watts

For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.

Library file stuff:

• Two Radarr instances, one for 4k and another for lower resolutions
• Sonarr for TV
• Lidarr for music
• Two readarr instances, one for epub/pdf and one for audiobooks
• Jackett
• deluge+openVPN

For library frontend stuff:

• Jellyfin for movies, tv, music, audiobooks
• Plex, for when Jellyfin is acting up
• Jellyseer for TV & movie requests
• LaunchBox for videogames and emulators
• Calibre + calibreWeb for ebooks & syncing to my Kobo eReader

Haven't set up yet:

• flaresolverr
• unpackerr
• audiobookshelf

Doesn't exist yet/wishlist:

• *arr app for emulator ROMs (I'll have to check out romm, looks pretty cool!)
