As someone whose spouse knits, it gave me a chuckle to see knitting mentioned as a low-cost hobby :)

> because they prefer flexible schedules

Any theories about why they might prefer flexible schedules?

Google also finds these names confusing. Whenever I try to search for something Stream Deck related, Google returns results for the Steam Deck. It's quite annoying.

Oh, I had read about Centralia being the inspiration for the movie and assumed (or perhaps saw someone incorrectly claim) that it was also the inspiration for the game. Thanks for the correction!

It can be hard to understand complex legal issues. Let me explain.

He was convicted of US Code 18 Section 241 which describes 2 or more people conspiring to deprive victims of their constitutional rights.

Simply tweeting something that is false wouldn't count, and it seems that even intentionally tweeting misinformation wouldn't break this law unless you were conspiring with others to do it.

When I used TikTok on Android, it was the most infuriating in-app browser experience because it had no way to open the URL in your real browser. Not even a way to copy the URL to your clipboard. I guess now I understand why

+1 https://www.youtube.com/c/PaulSellersWoodwork

I started watching his videos about 10 years ago, and while I've shifted a bit toward using more power tools in recent years, I still use his foundational hand tool techniques all the time. He can be a little preachy about his "hand tool only" woodworking philosophy, especially on his blog. If you can overlook that, he has a ton of skill and is good at teaching and demonstrating that skill to others through his videos.

Rather than exhaustively list mine, I'll just list the ones I don't see mentioned in other comments.

- Swag - Nginx reverse proxy for my other services. Similar to other reverse proxies people have mentioned, but it plays nice with other linuxserver containers I run so it's what I've stuck with. Has decent letsencrypt integration.

- Authelia - Integrated with Swag to handle single sign-on for most of my services

- Mylar3 - Helps keep track of comic series and, if you choose, can be used to search and download them as well

- Komga - For organizing/reading comics. I use Klutter as a companion app for reading comics from my Android devices

- readarr - Newer member of the *arr family. Still a bit clunky compared to its siblings, but it's a relatively useful way to organize ebooks and audiobooks. It doesn't do well with mixed book types, though, so I run one instance for ebooks and one for audiobooks.

- Ombi - For managing media requests

I feel like half of Ngrok's value prop is being undervalued here. Namely the fact that it captures requests for inspection and replay. That feature is an absolute game-changer for developing things like Webhooks.

First, it lets you easily see what the Webhooks payload looks like in real life. Second, it lets you hit your endpoint repeatedly with the same payload (while iterating on your code), without having to trigger the 3rd party event again.

Because vaccinated people mostly don't believe they're immune. We believe we have a strong protection against infection and a stronger protection against death, but that doesn't mean immunity.

My wife and I have been fully vaccinated since May, but we've had several tests since then (so far all negative) when we learned about contact with infected people or were experiencing suspicious symptoms.

I bought a copy shortly after it came out. I think I've played it twice for a cumulative play time of perhaps an hour. I expect I'll pick it up again here and there for some stress free fun, but even if I don't I feel it was money well spent.

I used power delivery from my Dell monitor for the last year, but occasionally under heavy workloads it couldn't keep up and my battery would slowly drain. I may have had something misconfigured, but if so I never figured out what it was. Between Yubikey, Ethernet, and two external monitors, I didn't have much choice.

I finally gave up and bought a Thunderbolt dock that actually delivers enough power while also providing expanded port capabilities.
