True, fair point.

I want to say a steak, but if I had an infinite supply of perfect steak available to me, I would probably die of a heart attack in about a year.

So instead I’ll say crispy, corn-starch-battered stir fried marinated tofu. Tastes very good, and I usually fail to plan ahead for marinating it, plus the corn starch can sometimes make a mess, so having it magically made for me would be nice.

Well, it definitely fits the theme for that era, that’s for sure. Maybe even the defining site for that aesthetic.

Space Channel 5 is one of those classic Dreamcast games that I haven’t checked out yet. I’ll be sure to get to it now.

One part from the Sonic Adventure blog:

He was such a cute rapper.
His eyes sparkled just a little.
I didn’t have a session today, so I was able to watch with ease.
Marlon, the vocalist of Knuckles, is very sexy.

I guess you could say he was rougher than the rest of them, the best of them, tougher than leather.

Thanks, that’s good to know. I heard the Framework 13 wad solid; I thought I was replying to a comment about the Framework 16, though. That must have been a different comment. I heard the 16 has a little flex.

I’m curious about this as well. The keyboard flex was always brought up by early reviewers for the Framework 16, and I think Framework said they would make a more sturdy keyboard for it later, but I haven’t heard any updates about that.

It’s a screen cap from Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster, which was the movie for Monsterdon last Sunday. It’s significance is that 1) it is an impressively bad movie, and 2) this character held this grin on his face for like 15 seconds, which was funny.

This took me a second to get. Freaking great. :D

I’m kind of surprised that it’s only 51 GB. They’re all FLAC files ripped from CDs – I was expecting like 300 GB at least.

So apparently this 1TB SSD is going to last me a while. :P

This is such a great writeup, thank you! I always can’t believe the actual photos I see of Group B races, lol.

Looks great! So is the tofu air fried, and the rest stir fried? Or steamed?

Sometimes I hear about other people’s storage setups and I think, “that is overkill, no one really needs that.” According to this thread, I am quite mistaken about that. 😳

I have 2,057 songs, taking up a measly 51 GB, on a Funkwhale server. No movies or TV shows.

That should get a little larger soon. I have about 100 vinyl records that I want to make digital rips of.

There’s a used bookstore near me that has the oldest cash register I’ve ever seen. It has keys like a typewriter, and makes the most satisfying “ka-ching” sound when it opens. They always use it to add up your purchase and print a receipt, even when you’re paying with a credit card. But I always try to bring cash when I’m there so that the drawer gets used. (And also, y’know, screw credit card companies taking their cut.)

I know that’s not really “in widespread use” today, which is probably what the question meant, but that was the first thing that came to mind for me.

I have a soft spot for Gentoo, even though I haven’t used it in years. It was one of my first experiences with Linux, since it was installed in one of the computer labs in college. I just remember that the windows had this physics jiggle effect when you dragged them around. I was so surprised that Linux had a more “fun” aesthetic than Mac or Windows did.

I downvote if it looks like they are posting in bad faith. I’ll upvote some comments that I disagree with if the poster was trying to contribute to the conversation – I usually do that to offset the fact that they’ve been downvoted a bunch already.

Many of the communities I’m in are fairly small, so I upvote almost every comment that I read. I figure it lets someone know that someone else read what they wrote, and I think that’s what a lot of us are here for.

In addition to what you mentioned, another really annoying thing about Youtube’s search is that it sometimes gives totally different results from one minute to the next. You can search for something, then type those exact same words just a few seconds later, and you get a completely different list of videos. So if you ever do get a list of good results, you need to leave that browser tab alone and open a new one to keep those results “safe.”

Reddit is the first one that comes to mind for me, too. It was always easier to use a search engine like Google or DuckDuckGo and do thing I'm looking for site:reddit.com instead of actually using Reddit’s search feature.

I use Funkwhale, which I have liked, but my use case is just streaming music through my laptop and listening with headphones. I don’t think there is a client available that will run on your Autonomic streamer.

Funkwhale does have a subsonic API, so you could use a subsonic client, but you mentioned that didn’t quite work before. (Is that what you mean by __sonic? I haven’t actually heard that term.)

Funkwhale is nice, but I think for most people it doesn’t (yet) offer any useful features beyond what Navidrome has, and probably even lacks a few things that Navidrome has. Funkwhale’s main appeal is that you can follow someone’s music library via the fediverse, although there hasn’t really been a lot of use for that so far. Version 2 is coming soon, though, and adds a whole bunch of new fediverse features.
