    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?

      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.

      I still have both for different reasons (probably ADHD reasons), but Adguard Home Sync is easier to setup for muli instances than syncing pihole. I

    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.

      Which launcher do you use? I’m bored of my current one but haven’t found anything new that makes me go wow yet.

    It’s like every few months developments happen that makes it even harder to ignore.

    Corals.

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

    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.

    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.

      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.

    tiny sounds.

    there is something so mesmerizing by hearing some small, almost universally ignored sounds. when stillness is interrupted by the soft rustle of paper, or I can hear some innocuous bug doing it’s thing. I also love the sound of animals chewing, but hate how humans sound when they do it. I once sat in detention at school, the room was so quiet. a fly landed on my desk, and I could hear it clean itself. it was so surreal. How many others have heard that sound?

      It’s some people’s jobs to create/recreate and record those sounds for TV, games, and other media. I believe they’re called foley artists.

    I’ll never be able to hold a candle to my grandma, but planting seeds and seeing the little seedlings poke out of the soil. It’s really satisfying to know that I’ve done something right to be able to create life.

    Boxes. I love boxes. Like old metal ones or decorative stash boxes. Crazy about boxes. Nice ones though. no cardboard.
