We’re Alive. It doesn’t feel like a normal podcast - more like listening to a movie. A movie with tons of zombies.

Barakamon. Super cozy story of a man moving to a small island and learning/improving while interacting with the locals (and a bit of a rascal child). Great series. I’ve rewatched it several times.

Forget apple, we need more banana/banana creme ice cream flavors.

Exactly this. I don’t like Vance, but I can’t blame him for wearing a shirt while swimming. Sun shirts are way better than applying sunscreen every so often.

GameCube and PS2 games work incredibly well on the Steam Deck. Some PS3 and Xbox 360 as well. I’ve played through several PS2 games and all of TLoZ Windwaker on my deck.

I also recommend the Panaracer GravelKing tires. They feel awesome on most surfaces and still keep traction on single track sections.

While I don’t really have a bike recommendation, I do recommend picking a bike that has clearance for wider tires. Wider tires mean lower tire pressure, more comfort, and lower rolling resistance.

I have a Diamondback Haanjo 4 and a Poseidon Redwood. Upgrading the Haanjo from the stock 38mm tires to some 45mm Panaracers made the bike feel so much better. On the Poseidon I swapped to a 700c wheel set and put on some WTB Venture 50mm tires. Both bikes are super comfortable now.

Fuck that noise too.

Trailer is definitely the way to go. I picked up an old kid trailer ~7 years ago at a yard sale. Ripped all the kid stuff off, cut a sheet of plywood to shape, and then bolted the plywood to the frame. With a few holes to attach straps/bungees it can haul most things.

Thank you for this, I’m going to set up my own Open RSC server tonight.

Not trying to be too critical here since everyone has done this at some point, but please don’t take photos on train tracks. There are so many instances of people being hit.

It’s not too terrible to set up a RO server. There’s even a guide to running one on a Raspberry Pi.

I followed the guide a few years back and it worked out pretty well. Instead of setting up a site to create user accounts I just ended up manually adding users to the database.

Technically, the “best” option would be to VLAN the WiFi network separately from a wired network where all the important devices are connected.

But honestly, for normal people, that’s over the top. Try WPA3 first and see if you have any devices that won’t work over it. If you run into issues, swap over to WPA2. I generally say start stricter and loosen the metaphorical belt only as necessary.

That’s okay, it had to be done.

You’re right, but it does still work.

Downloading music from YouTube will get you MP3s, but they will have gone through the YT compression algorithms.

Use Deemix instead. Downloads MP3s straight from the Deezer servers with all metadata and album art.

I personally use VGCollect. I also keep a spreadsheet of all my physical media.

Is this worth it on Xbox One? A used copy is pretty cheap at GameStop. Wouldn’t want it on PC due to EA junk.

Dry roasted edamame. High on fiber and protein without being super caloric. Perfect for feeling full without having to eat too much.

That interface is 100% SteamOS.
