I was about to explain that there’s a way to defog these before I realized he’s not gonna see anything in there…

Oh damn I guess I should learn to read

I play pretty consistently and don’t notice a different after most updates

The updates are just turning on and off the seasonal things and adding community maps and stuff.

Your dad and your partner switch bodies. The only way to switch them back is to bang one of them.

Do you bang your partner in your dad’s body or do you bang your dad in your partner’s body?

Same same but different. I got all the jackboxes through uhh ways and means and I play it on my HTPC on the TV.

There’s a pumpkin sitting in the booth on the right.

Sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie are pretty similar

It’s me… I’m running a widows VM…

Running it on Docker on my debian server. It runs great.

The config setup is a pain in the ass though.

This is the closest thing to an android app, but it just adds a check to see if you’re on your local network or not. Other than that, it’s just a web frontend.

The frigate documentation also has some info about installing it as an app, but either I’m doing it wrong or it’s the equivalent of a bookmark on my homescreen.

Game servers are always fun! I set up a custom Minecraft modpack and have it set up on my domain. I also run an Arma 3 server, but it’s a hackjob of a self-host solution and I’m ashamed of how it works.

To address your examples directly:

Media server: Jellyfin, along with an *arr stack (Radarr, Sonarr, and qbittorrent and gluetun) to automate everything for you.

Photos app: Immich is your direct Google Photos replacement. Automated uploads, object detection, facial recognition, etc, all ran locally on your machine. Just remember: you still need a proper backup!

Recipe management: Mealie is the best I’ve used. It can import a recipe from almost any website. Very easy to cook with and follow along each step. It also lets you categorize meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), rate your meals, and randomly pick meals for you.

Other things I have going:

Frigate NVR - A couple PoE and wifi cameras set up around the home record everything. Frigate records and timestamps things based on the settings - A person walks up, something loud happens, etc. My only gripe is that there isn’t a good Android app to go with it. I’d like to receive notifications on my phone, too.

MeTube - Rip videos from almost anything. Friend sent you an Instagram video, but you don’t have Instagram? Chuck it into this and it’ll give you the video. Here’s all the websites it supports.

Gilly and Keeves, one of Shane Gillis’ shows.

My preferred method is to use a half inch drill bit and a power drill.

This dude sounds incredibly dense.

new Netflix documentary series coming in the next decade called “To Make an Arsonist”

She got arrested and beaten by Israelis when trying to deliver supplies to Gaza via boat .

One time a cricket was in the crack in the concrete just outside my sliding door and I could barely hear my game over the sound of this thing so I did what any completely normal mentally sane person would do and poured boiling water over the crack

I usually have a pack of gum and I deliberately start a pattern on how I take pieces out. Usually it’s from left to right, emptying a full row before I move on to the next.

My test is to offer them gum and see where they pick from. Will they recognize a pattern and continue it? Or will they be oblivious?

Either way, it’s not a measure of good or bad. It’s just a fun lil test.

This is more like a store worker asking “did you find everything you need?”

They know what it shows, but Google is asking if it was showing the right thing.
