Disco Pogo - Die Atzen

I usually skip breakfast, but recently I’ve been skipping lunch and so I have a protein shake for breakfast so I’m not extra hangry by dinner time.

Not directly intended for this, but I use a self-hosted Home Assistant server for this. My wife and I both use it for home automations, and the phone app can report its location back. We can see where each other is on the map, as well as a 24 hour (configurable) location history.

To be honest I skimmed just of this, but the way my phone screen resolution caused line breaks I got to see the words “sususudododo baby” and that alone made me giggle.

I haven’t really used adguard or nextdns before so I can’t compare apples to apples. I can say that Rethink is a FOSS local-VPN-based adblocker that doesn’t need root. I used to use a different VPN based one before that I forgot the name of, but because it was a VPN I couldn’t also connect to my home Wireguard VPN at the same time, so I was swapping VPNs all the time. I like it because I can be connected to my home VPN, and then if that connection fails it automatically uses the on-device DNS blocklists, which can be customized which lists to use. It can also set different DNS rules / bypass filtering on a per-app basis instead of being forced to being system wide. It’s been useful to allowlist certain domains for specific apps only to let them work.

Using RethinkDNS for on-device blocking, but also let it make a wireguard tunnel to my house so I can make use of my PiHole at home.

I do prefer instrumental music, but for completely different reasons. Mostly for me it’s because I get earworms extremely easily, and can have a song stuck in my head for days at a time. 99% of the time it’s the lyrics that are stuck, so it’s a much lower chance to get an instrumental song stuck in my head.

What about without line of sight? If I get one of these is it going to work while it’s sitting on my desk, or am I going to have to mount some antennas on the roof to actually make it usable? The maps only show like three other people in my city with one, so I’m not sure how useful this will actually be for me.

I used to work retail and was helping a college aged guy pick out some new headphones. He was deciding between some Beats and some Bose headphones. I literally asked him “do you want something that sounds good or looks good” and was amazed he actually said “looks good”. So I reluctantly sold him the Beats.

I had to scroll really far to find this, but my LG was so good I bought another when I moved. My wife thought all dishwashers just sucked until she saw how well the LGs can do.

I’ve got this little blue plastic cup I’ve had for almost 30 years. Use it for my toothbrush. Got it when I was a kid and it’s the only toothbrush holder I’ve ever had since.

You a Saiyan

LG? Mine does the same. Also my washing machine plays the same tune.

Great! I’ll use Button Mapper to remap that button to open Plex (or Jellyfin if I end up committing to switching to it).

Ctrl + Win + Alt + V works everywhere I’ve tried it.

“just don’t use the internet” is not the hot take I was expecting

You’re right. It’s better to just not use a password manager and use the same password on every site you go to.

/s if that’s not obvious

There are password managers you can self host. Bitwarden being one of them. Secure it as much as you want and keep off-site encrypted backups if you’re worried about a single point of failure.

Why is your Roku TV even on the Wi-Fi if you just block its internet?

The one I use is called “Unpinterested!”, and is on both the Firefox and chrome extension stores. You can also use uBlacklist to block the domains.
