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 :(

Why do those little pieces of skin keep sticking up next to my fingernails. (Not cuticles / hangnails, the skin next to the nails)
-
I tend to bite them and tear them off hoping they don't act like a zipper and all of me will pour out
-
Just clip theme as close to skin asyou can and move the heck on. No good can come from further engagement

Reminds me of this

The first one reminds me of this guy from Disenchantment. https://disenchantment.fandom.com/wiki/Me-Flavored_Water_Salesman

I have always loved that dude.
-
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."

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.
-
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.

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.

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.
-
Fun fact, the original Fallout was first using GURPS before they had to invent SPECIAL.
-
Mhmm! They had to invent it because Steve Jackson Games wasn't terribly keen on the level of violence in Fallout.
Another fun fact, their 3e Cyberpunk supplement was so convincing that they got raided by the US Secret Service under suspicion of cyber terrorism.
-
-
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.
-
If you like GURPS, you should check out Mutants and Masterminds 3e (d20herosrd.com). It's written for superhero games, but I've seen it used for everything from dungeon fantasy to Star Wars. It has all the flexibility and versatility of GURPS with a fraction as much math, and so far I have found exactly one thing I couldn't build a power for in that system (Wheel of Time's Balefire).

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.

Math. More specifically, ring theory

Casio square watches

Which?

Careful, you may end up on a terrorist watch list

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

What have you done? Anymore recommendations? This might become a new obsession.😂

Mushrooms.
They're beautiful, adorable, and delicious.

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.
-
I'll never be able to hold a candle to my grandma, but planting seeds and seeing the little seedlings poke out of the soil. It's really satisfying to know that I've done something right to be able to create life.
-
Trains. Specifically Japanese trains. I lived there about a decade ago and often uses the trains to get to Tokyo or malls on weekend, and have grown to be obsessed with it. From regular passenger trains to Shinkansens (bullet train).
My biggest wish is to be able to live there again. I really miss those times!

In the winter, tinkering with my magic decks, or becoming obsessed with a video game if one grabs me.
In the summer, riding my longboard long distances.

Boxes. I love boxes. Like old metal ones or decorative stash boxes. Crazy about boxes. Nice ones though. no cardboard.

Renovating my home is a hobby of mine, but I can't stand tiny imperfections like walls that aren't perfectly smooth, surfaces that aren't exactly level, and mail-order furniture which isn't quite the same color as it was in the pictures. Usually I can get things just right eventually, but sometimes I have to recognize that doing that would be crazy (i.e. it would require spending tens of thousands of dollars to demolish and rebuild something which everyone else tells me already looks great) and then I get really upset, give up in the middle of the renovation project, and never finish it.
The funny thing is that this level of perfectionism is actually just right for the sort of programming I do at my day job, so work ends up being less stressful than my hobby.
-
I used to have similar perfectionist perspective in my 20s but then i look at my own skill and reflect on it, it just that i can't reach the perfect that i wanted with my skill, or the situation on hand just doesn't allow that, so right now in my 30s i just do my best and finish a renovation project without second-guessing myself too much. No one gonna scrutinise my own work in my own home other than myself, that sort of perspective change is what work for me.
It's also help when the maker that inspired me also make mistake on camera and teach others how to fix/hide it.
-
The problem is when you pay somebody to do the work. Nobody spends as much time as you. Building these days is a slap-it-together endeavor. They will get the job done in half the time you would, but it’s not quite as good as you would have done.

This week? Pre 2010 screamo.
-
That mix up with Holly Jolly Christmas and lil Jon.
-
Trains, idk what it is, I don't even like travelling by train, I'm just oddly obsessed with them...
-
i like trains
-
I don't particularly enjoy using trains either but they're just so god damn efficient. And the engineering is also cool sometimes

Jerking, jerk... Jamaican jerk! Get your mind out of the gutter!

What's your go-to recipe for chicken? Still haven't found a great one
-
I usually find a Jamaican and have them make it, nothing like authentic Jerk

Why'd you call OP a jerk?

Vtubers, I follow too many and sadly end up knowing about drama too.

Anything Shiney black. toys, tech, cars, novelties, it honestly doesn't matter. I can't place why it brings me joy, it just does.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !aquariums@lemmy.world
