Yess, thank you. Ugly, slow, frustrating. And pay to make it bearable...

I feel like it's been shitty for a decade.. personal view though, clearly people like it
Edit: well, for almost 10 years, maybe 9.

I feel you on the high cost of repairs costing a large portion of monthly income - I was quoted $500-700 for a (difficult model) spark plug replacement and plan to just DIY, even if it's frustrating and hard.

This is fucking horrifying

Part of why I want to keep up in my journaling at a pace of about 1 entry a week is to have the memories for the future - I don't have the best memory and I want to look back through the journal lens.

Yeah, it's a privacy nightmare at best, especially on Android...
Spirals the other way round does work a bit better for me - I could also see doing my journal digitally with my ipad so that I get to doodle and have more personality in my writing, plus develop my digital handwriting.

Classic reddit with your comment getting a lot of down votes for answering the question fittingly

I will journal out, usually on my laptop. Sometimes I find it convenient to dictate to my phone but I use a lot of punctuation and bullet points so that can be frustrating. I would enjoy journalling with paper, but find carrying a journal to be more hassle than it's worth. Also, I'm left handed and if I want to journal on the go, paper has never been something I find I can write on well.

I would like to learn to lucid dream as well as to be able to recall more dreams. I understand that writing down dreams in the morning/after waking is best, but I don't have a ton of time in the morning. So I don't get around to keeping a dream journal.
It's about once a week I even have a memory of a dream when I wake up.

Yeah, I use obsidian now for notes to self instead of Google keep but signal sounds good for things I don't want to organize in the moment. As well as a synced clipboard

Signal has a note to self feature?

Well done

For more about the 'degenerate art' Nazi issues I really like to recommend Jacob Geller on youtube, he has a video a few years old - "who's afraid of modern art".

I love libro.fm too, I picked it up maybe a year ago. Credit systems aren't my favorite but getting files DRM free is perfect for my standards.

Thank you for the podcast tip, I'd like to learn more about what you described!

My partner is vindicated - hooray for trackball representation. If only I could get her off the crappiest trackball you've ever seen that she must have gotten in a 20 pack

🤮

I'm planning to just keep buying more as he causes further declines, to my ability to do so that is.

My portfolio went down 1200 this Friday, 3000 since April started.

Sounds painful to watch YouTube on a console primarily, unless paying for Premium although then you still get to watch sponsorships.
Even ignoring the ads, I'd be surprised if the interface wasn't at least frustrating

Looking for tips on seeding more, what kind of hardware to use.
I've been struggling to get ratios over even 1.0, most are stuck in the low 0.10 - 0.20 range. I don't seed off my gaming PC 24/7 because I don't want a VPN on all the time, plus I turn it off at night.
So mainly wondering if anyone has tips on a good setup to keep the PC seeding overnight, I'm running linux mint currently. I also have a RaspPi but I understand they are not great for torrents?
Is there any good way to compartmentalize a VPN? I.e., use the VPN for qBitTorrent only, and use my regular network adapter for other stuff (games, browsers, whatever).
I've tried a seedbox in the past and they're neat, but I'd rather avoid a subscription and just use my hardware. I'm using Private Internet Access VPN until my already paid for time is up in case that's significant.

What games do you play as you watch TV, movies, etc. if any?
I play a lot of windowed games on my PC as I watch less engaging content like TV I've seen, Youtube. Lately Balatro, Peglin, a racing game called art of rally, Mini Motorways. Interested to hear other people's preferences.
I generally want something that runs well windowed because I use a third of my ultrawide to run the video, so no shooters or "big" games usually.

I wanted a simple way to make a fun background for my desktop, and I found it! I used the pattern generator and highly recommend messing with it and the gradient maker. Please check it out just for the UI, it's awesome. I attached the hexagon background I made.

Looking for help with de-DRMing an eBook from yuzu reader
Just bought an "enhanced eBook", accessible only through Yuzu (Barnes and Noble's site) and I would love to rip it to PDF and get it on libgen. Does anyone have any advice or tutorial for this?
I don't have much experience with writing scripts but I understand I could use python to screenshot and append all 800+ pages as well. Looking for how to do this if it's what I have to do.
Thanks, and happy to provide more relevant info if needed!
