    This week? AdGuard Home to block ads network-wide. Optimizing it so I can compare it to my Pi-Hole to see which I prefer. We’ll see what obsession next week holds.

    Where my ADHD homies at?

      hello fellow ADHD homelab homie

      rn I have some time off so I’m attempting to force all my random code project repos to use the same structure. Paying down the tech debt at last

      Did that earlier this year. Ultimately not a huge difference at the end of the day. Decided to go back to pihole but I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

      I’ve been streaming games from my PC to TV with moonlight & sunshine, now I’m setting up a docker container with steam built into it and giving it a whole GPU so I can game stream but my PC will still be usable with my other GPU.

      Don’t know why, I’m the only person who uses it lol, guess it’s a cool thing to do.

    My phone’s home screen.

    I’m not obsessed with it, per se. I have it dialed in and don’t think about it much. But I use a special launcher and organize the app icons carefully. When I get a new app, I put time in to consider where it goes and where to shuffle things around. I’m very deliberate about the widgets I keep around. I’m proud of it and I’ve shared my layout and the apps I use on Facebook. So I think this counts.

      Mind showing your home screen layout / config? I’m still using Nova Launcher bc I haven’t liked any of the other launchers I’ve tried.

        I use Nova as well. I like it a lot. My home screen is just a grid of all my apps, with a folder for less-used apps. I have two widgets: a one-block local weather report, and a two-block battery meter (mostly to see the power remaining on my earbuds). Everything is on one screen, and I never have to scroll through the general app drawer.

    I need desktop / homescreen wallpaper that is minimalist enough to not be distracting and yet is more complex than a flat color or gradient. And a single one in place will bug me after a time, so I borrowed a bunch of powerpoint tech backdrops.

    Corals.

    Specifically reef keeping. I will spend hours browsing coral on aquarium sites, looking to find the perfect one for my tank.

      Are you on the aquariums sub here? :)

      I want to get a saltwater tanks someday. It looks a bit intimidating to see people putting in chemicals every 6 hours on YT channels, but I want to try it. Already have a small freshwater tank here!

        As they said, you can go really simple, but I wanted to chip in as a chemicals every 6 hours person, I’ve got a machine that does it, I never have to think about it.

          Good to know! Do things go bad really quick if the machine goes bad or the power goes out on vacation? Or can it coast off what it has for a week or so?

        I am not, I will have to go join.

        If you’re just looking to get a salt water fish only tank, then there is no need to add anything once your tank is cycled and you’ve got fish in it. Just like freshwater, the types of fish you have dictate the level of difficulty in care. Just do some searches on beginner salt water aquarium guides and you should find a lot of results with walkthrus.

          Oh yeah! I think I’d want to try corals, too. I love planted tanks, and miss the vibrant reefs of my childhood, which humanity has since wrecked pretty bad. Even if its just a small tank, it would be nice to have a small sliver of the natural world with me. :)

      Same. I go in phases on what I’m into, I’ve had an acan phase, a clove phase, a euphylia phase, and a mushroom phase, all this year.

        I have a few links in the community [email protected]

        But for me personally it’s the thing I mention in this comment that’s most compelling. It just seems really unlikely that our world lore has something so ancient that’s also so specifically discussing things tied to the emerging picture of tech. It’s almost to the point of being heavy handed.

    This year, mostly GURPS. It’s such a delightfully comprehensive TTRPG. If you can think of it, you can do it, and odds are that unless you’re thinking of something really out there, it’s explicitly outlined in one of the source books. Even if it is really out there, you can probably find several forum posts outlining several ways to run the mechanics.

    It’s not a perfect reality simulator, but it’s good enough for me.

        Mhmm! They had to invent it because Steve Jackson Games wasn’t terribly keen on the level of violence in Fallout.

        Another fun fact, their 3e Cyberpunk supplement was so convincing that they got raided by the US Secret Service under suspicion of cyber terrorism.

      Fans of GURPS, or anyone looking to hear it in action should check out the podcast “the film reroll” (if you haven’t already). They play through films as RPGs using GURPS and it’s fantastic! They even had the creator of GURPS on once as one of many people playing Leonard in Momento. Also, there are absolutely no adverts.

      If you like GURPS, you should check out Mutants and Masterminds 3e (d20herosrd.com). It’s written for superhero games, but I’ve seen it used for everything from dungeon fantasy to Star Wars. It has all the flexibility and versatility of GURPS with a fraction as much math, and so far I have found exactly one thing I couldn’t build a power for in that system (Wheel of Time’s Balefire).

          3d6 definitely has it’s merits.

          Building GURPS mages is still an exercise in masochism, though.

            Guess that depends on which magic system you use

            I don’t mind the base system though, pre-reqs make sense

    A lot of things. But specifically this week it’s the Lemmy v0.19 upgrade. I’m going through the github release, the various posts on the various instances, gathering every info I can find.
