A few years ago, my wife and I left the Mormon church. That helped a lot. Along that line coffee makes me happy.

Made me think of the first season of Halt and Catch Fire.

Pretty sure they’d take everything you just wrote and say, “that sounds like critical race theory, which Jesus said was bad.”

Shudder. I had this weird brand laptop… Sotec IIRC and there just wasn’t a modline that ever got it all right.

Xserver… Somehow trying to find the magic string of letters and numbers that made your screen work.

Similar boat. Getting my snoring looked into. Got a sleep study done and now I’m having an ent do a scoping to see what’s actually vibrating and what can be done.

Video is 2 years old. How did I not know about this?

The trouble for me was always getting people to use the controllers. I had some success with some family members using bubbleupnp on their Android phones. But the separation between sources, renderers and controllers is a little confusing for non technical people

DLNA is going to be your best bet, but it’s such a deep and convoluted rabbit hole. There’s a lot of ways to configure a setup.

Lemmiversary?

They have a browser plug-in. I use it on Firefox on my desktop and on my Android phone. My uses it on Chrome on both as well.

I started using Kagi. Yeah, I have to pay for it. But we’re paying for Google too, kagi is just more honest about how.

To be fair a hotplate could play games better than a p4 and do it while staying cooler.

Isn’t it more like a network of several billion dumb computers?

I have a box with 10 old laptops that I keep around, just for that. Unreal tournament 2004, Insane, Brood Wars and all the Id classics. I don’t get to set it up a lot, but when I do it’s always a hit.

Purchase? Sailing the high seas… I mean libraries. Libraries have all the best books.

Excellent questions. I’d be more likely to donate if there was a page answering them.
