While I love the Internet and all sorts of modern life fixtures (in a developed country), I feel a bit like I missed out by not being alive when all the crazy drinks were around.

I deleted your calendar, I'm sorry.

Our child is only 6 but these fears are done of the reasons we have immich at home (amongst other things). We still have Google storage for photos, but just in case they take a photo or video that gets flagged we do not want to lose everything. I am though trying to get in the habit of having an annual photo book printed to have some used copies of memories.

My spouse is more tired to Google, but for myself if I got cut off i'd just have to change some recovery email addresses.

Totally unlogged and anonymous too, right?

Thanks, I'll have to look into it too, though the gamification sounds annoying AF.

I'm being completely serious, but what is the current fav open source forum software these days? I'd love to host a forum for a small community I'm involved in. Not a stranger to hosting other things across a variety of stacks, so I'm not particular about technology used.

I wonder if it was a bit of a power display. Showing they are untouchable.

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Thanks! Nothing important, personal site with the source stored in a git repo replicated to a few places, so them folding would just be a minor inconvenience.

Canadian here, could you share the name of the provider? I'd love to move to something more local and just need a basic small vps for a simple apache host. I know of a couple providers but never talked to anyone actually using one.

So autotools but for execution instead of compilation?

sekh60 — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 16:37:09 +0000

As a child I loved watching construction sites! I'd literally plop myself on the group and couldn't be moved until I was done. This would be ideal retirement for me. Though as I am a house spouse, I won't really get a retirement, gotta keep cooking meals, doing laundry, dishes and cleaning. At least I'll have no deathbed regrets about not spending enough time with my daughter though!

I do this but for music with Home Assistant. I haven't dug around much to see if it's possible to cast video from Jellyfin the same way. From what I read (and it's been a while) the Jellyfin API was more limited, but maybe that's changed by now.

ChromeOS is based in Gentoo.

That attitude is sadly probably a small factor in you not having a billion dollars.

TIL. I always heard that their licensing people tended to uphold the motherboard line.

I'm curious did you have an OEM license or a retail license? OEM licenses die with the mobo.
