They are not ideal, but he really could make a move as a disruptor to the powers that exist.

I only have 1 smart tv. I use andriod boxes with productivity launcher..and one firestick that needs to go. I like to taunt amazon that they aint getting a penny.

The start tv is set up as dumb but it still has the stupid interface from the time it was bought. The poster of wicked. I have it setup that the box launches first but sometimes i land on there instead and it pi$$$$$es me right off. Any way to somehow disable that crap?

I think it was discretion.

Harry and Megan have been on TV discussing what goes on in other peoples homes. I wouldn't want them in my home after they did that in the past. They cant be trusted not to go off and sell stories or market the stay.

I watched it. I have seen a few of the Coban adoptions, mostly the UK based ones. The first few were decent but the last few lately seem to err on the too changed or too trying to ‘stand out’ problem. They can’t seem to scale them up.

This one I couldn’t quite gel with the characters, they were a bit autonomous and the lead guy too action man for the role. I’d expect a more tourtured soul. The story was lost, hidden behind dashing from location to location, the whole thing felt beige.

I don’t know how to describe it but it reminded me of the night agent. Overall it’s rated background watching only

I just realised what they have become. Years again when sky/cable existed there would be a channel that just showed average shows, or B movies. It’s the kinda thing your nana would watch. It was just churn churn of tat. It kept you occupied…but not entertained.

They had a good run for a few years but id say in the last 5 years or longer...for seasons with several after about S3 they start to get sillier to the point of unbelievable. Id say now it has even started to happen around S2 recently.

Secondly a lot of stuff is very...the samey and TBH boring, if something is good they try to repeat it over and over. Generally now i see the N sighn and i am like nah, its likely to be average.

Yup. It’s always by design. Corporate bullshit has been playing the long game.

It feels like kingsman all those people in the background acting normal.

I often use the hoover with the soft head to dust. I also use the leaf blower to mega dust.

Have you considered pushing your comfort level with your next new tub of butter?

You could put a knife in the middle and twist

You could segment it into smaller blocks inside

You could dig a bit out if each corner.

Personally typing those idea made me feel sick so I understand your rationale.

 

One of mine is potato salad. I always add a good splodge of french dressing

Anyone got a secret ingredient for vegetable soup? ...mines always a tad bland. good chance to add requests.

 

Hi all i am new to self hosting, I have everything just about set up. I am on linux server (docker host). I am good with movies/tv VPN Jellyfin etc. For music I have llidar and slskd setup and both running. I have tinkered Wireguard and Finamp and had it working.

So i have these 2 problem/s I could do with some advice/opinions on if you guys would be lovely enough to help.

  1. I am currently using SLSKD more as I like partial albums. I then do a manual import via Wanted...this is cumbersome as i have to then add the artist etc in lidar, then go import the tunes.

  2. I have a ton of old spotify playlists for example 80s etc. I would like to be able to bring them in and automate it somehow rather than finding them one song at a time.

I hate AI but its somewhat helpful in these situations. It suggested adding soulmate (docker) that has been slightly problematic, i also saw tubifarry and another plugin.

What are your suggestions of a route to take for my problems...should i faff about further with soulmate or another option? Nice to meet you all 🙂

 

Im going back to old albums and this week, the mood is poignant Tracy Chapmans Fast Car.

Hi all I have a few TVs around the house and have previously used firestick and stremio setup. I do like stremio tbh but I am trying to decode/deamazon etc so I need an alternative option for the TVs. Not all are smart TVs and I like it that way so accept a small box attached is the cost.

I tend to basically use stremio and cinema HD at a push., and a VPN app. A few uk tv catchup apps. I don’t need recording or storage. I will likely move to some self hosting/serve in the next year.

I am trying to be conscious of my purchases and who I am buying, and also take steps to protect my privacy. I have a few to buy so budget needs to not be on the higher end.

Thanks in advance
