Note taking? Joplin. It’s been amazing for me and replaced Evernote after they started with their BS.

Photo storage. Been using Photo prism but I’m open to a better one.

That or Joplin. Created a checklist today for my trip and what to bring.

Nope. I’m afraid of it. And it’s 2025 so that means we ban it. No more water!

What’s your hardware setup for all of this? I’ve got an 8 core, 16 GB, 5TB external NUC but it starts struggling after I add a few services. BitWarden in particular so I just used their services instead. I’d love to run everything myself for same reasons but I def might need an upgrade first.

If it’s something serious, yes. Like fixing something. I also use it as an idea generator. I needed to figure out why my toilet wasn’t flushing. It suggested the flapper. So then I went to YouTube and looked up a video on how to install it once it pointed me in a direction.

You can actually ask for its sources now and fact check yourself. But just like anything you read online, use common sense. I’d see those same results in a Google search too.

Yeah I do realize the inevitable problem when their sources dry up because no one is communicating anymore but for the quick questions about how something works in the world it’s extremely convenient. I’d just be asking Google anyway.

Participation in what? A quick search on how to fix my toilet and how a toilet works. You think I was going to sign up for a toilet message board and chat?

Is that supposed to be they watch videos in vertical…or they get off on watching vertical videos?

“Oh yeah, tilt that camera. Tilt it harder. There we go. Oh yeah! It’s standing straight up.”

I’m already using ChatGPT to replace 80% of my Google searches. No sponsored bullshit. Yet.

I enjoy refactoring and making legacy code better.

The DMR in call of duty years ago. “Here’s a bug with a gun that instakills from 4 miles away that breaks the game dynamics. It’s literally unplayable. Instead we added more features that make us money.”

And he didn’t do this a year ago why? Oh right, exchanging lives for the reelection campaign.

Make the fascist look bad? Noooo, never.

It’s British humor so it’s a bit dry and winded at times. But they don’t talk down to their audience like the American version.

And becoming incredibly relevant.

Which one? Both are good but UK is the best.

With AI that could literally be anything now. Or they could be LGBTQ. Or black. Or a woman.

Yeah the one thing I did do was attempt the cutout cookies she did. I found her recipe but it was very sparse in the directions. But they turned out great. So I’m glad I’ll still have those. Apparently cream of tartar is what gave it that special acidic “Christmas feel” I’ve always wondered about over the years.

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t expect anything from anyone. Just getting things off my chest. But I appreciate it. And my condolences as well.
