Isn’t that just because Twitch doesn’t allow you to browse it using Firefox though?

It’s because nothing is punk anymore. Everything has been commodified, especially radical art.

I would sub. There are so many videos I know I’ve forgotten over the years.

We’ve been using tsp at my work for years and it works well. It is just a very basic queueing system so if you can run the job from the command line then you can run it via tsp.

Our workflow is to have concurrent jobs run on the remote servers with cron and tsp but you should be able to trigger remote jobs over SSH also if you prefer to have a single machine in charge of task allocation.

Started my fitness journey during covid and one thing I can recommend which is non-obvious to those who haven’t been training all their lives is progressive overload:

If you’re doing 20 pushups this month, do 21 next month, then 22 the month after, etc. Keep pushing yourself and you’ll get stronger than you ever though possible. Take it at your own pace though, if you push too hard it’s easy to hurt yourself.

Smart Audiobook Player +1 such a good, feature complete app.

Really? I’m super curious what made you feel this way. I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed by it compared to Flanagan’s other series’.

100% agree with you. Loved the first half and was really let down by the 2nd.

The only other show that’s given me similar vibes to the 1st half of Frieren was Violet Evergarden. Not so much for the content but in the melancholic, beautiful-yet-bittersweet vibes the whole show gives off.

I think that show greatly benefitted from the limited runtime though and would have suffered if they’d tried to push it out to Frieren length.

Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.

We’ve been using QGIS at my company for almost 8 years at this point and I really love it. The python integration and deep plugin repository render it head and shoulders above ESRI. Although I admit for enterprise solutions many will still require the turn-key solutions esri offer.

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell comes to mind. A Jesuit priest is the only survivor of a first-contact flight to an alien world and returns horribly disfigured in mind and body and refuses to talk about what happened. We slowly learn what happened to everyone as the story unfolds. Great SF novel and not religious, although it explores religion.

You’ve got be joking right? The most influential, most loved, most well regarded fantasy trilogy of all time is not a good story actually? I get that it wasn’t your style for whatever reason but to call it bad storytelling is just asinine.

Workaround Steps:

1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment

2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory

3. Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.

4. Boot the host normally.

There is a fix people have found which requires manual booting into safe mode and removal of a file causing the BSODs. No clue if/how they are going to implement a fix remotely when the affected machines can’t even boot.

Yep, stuck at the airport currently. All flights grounded. All major grocery store chains and banks also impacted. Bad day to be a crowdstrike employee!

Haha, I have no idea why it is so unheard of. Absolutely floored me the first time I saw it years ago and I’ve come back to it at various times in my life and gotten different things out of it each time. Such a gem of a film.

Haven’t seen The Best of Youth but I’ll put it on my list right next to Satantango 😉.

A few I don’t see getting mentioned much:

• 3-Iron
• The Seventh Continent
• Hausu
• The Lives of Others
• Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
• Spoorloos

Hell yeah! Ritual by him is also wonderful.

Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!
