Netflix does surprisingly release physical media now and then. EG: Stranger Things just got a complete 4k UHD physical release.

One very nice thing about physical media is the quality is often far better than you will ever get streaming, and this is true even on non-4k releases (though, especially on 4k). Audio is often the thing the streaming providers compress the heck out of.

Similar! I was tired of the outages and crazy runner bills so I just finished moving everything to my own server hosting Forgejo. I've had to recreate a couple things (like a dependabot replacement) but it's been a week so far and it's going well - I haven't had any outages nor have I been finding ways to lessen my Runner billed minutes.

Forgejo has some quirks (like no ability to share workflows between private repos) but I'm happy with my choice so far.

Ha- same here! I was very excited to see a curated list of battery configurations/cells/wiring diagrams!

Now, this is the right way to respond to negative feedback! Kudos!

Same! This is really fun!

Thanks for sharing! This looks useful!

This is so logically full of holes I don't even know where to start...

Having children is hard. Life is hard. Avoiding having children is shirking your duty to have a hard life. Dogs shouldn't make you happy because that is coping with life's hardships. Having children, which is hard, is the path one should take to wantonly endure hardship. If you choose not to, you are pathetic...

What if I didn't have a dog or cat, and still chose not to have children? Still pathetic? What if I had children, and hated every minute of it, but fulfilled my duty to endure the hardship... AND still had a dog I love? What if I really really enjoy lemonade - should I avoid that because it brings me joy, but life is inherently supposed to be hard, therefore I am coping and pathetic?

This is such a mind-boggling judgmental stance on what life is and should be and what others should do with their agency over their own lives.

As I said to the wantonly miserable OP who started this bizarre comment thread - godspeed to you! I'd wish you a nice life, but I don't want to go against your philosophy that one should invite hardship into one's life, so... Have a miserable life?

Wait... So because I chose a life of not struggling to raise a child and I love my dog; I'm pathetic? What a warped-ass world-view. Maybe I just have no desire to have kids and am enjoying the life not having children warrants me - including pathetically loving my dog. Eff off with your judgements of what I chose the path of my life to be. And, hey, godspeed on your struggle-bus. Apparently it warrants you some entitlements and status, or something...

Genuinely curious: What would such an alternative provide to the market? Would it be cheaper, last longer, be some medium that offered different performance/longevity characteristics? There is flash storage which provides some tradeoffs with price (especially now!) and performance. Spinning disks seem to be in a sweet spot of relatively cheap adequately performant with an acceptable lifetime/failure rate for a lot of needs... What market need is missing? (Again - not trying to debate, I am genuinely curious as I am not in the storage industry at all.)

Agree. I gave it a shot recently after being a hater of MS browsers since the 90's and am actually very happy with it. I love the Workspaces and syncing features. Arc had something similar, but Arc started to stall out remain frustratingly buggy. Edge is now my go-to...

Glad to see some personal validation, here. I encountered bizarre clawbacks from Amazon on five different occasions in 2025 from returns - one of them four months after the return and refund. They'd often claim they expected a certain item, but received a different one. After reaching out to their CS department they'd tell me it was a mistake, refund me, tell and not to worry about it - all just to have their returns team charge me yet again for it a few weeks later...

Oh boy.

I certainly feel the two party system has really hampered us and largely contributed to where we are today. I never feel actually represented, yet nearly every candidate has to align themselves officially with one party or the other and tow that party line. Sure there is individual variance between representatives, but it's still mostly within a set of boundaries the party is more or less okay with. It sucks, and is often why the "just go vote" ethos feels about as inept as any other action or non-action I can take...
