  • Wanted to fully experience life!

    Grew up gaming. Stopped gaming for twenty years. Now I game again. I’ve had a great time. Climbed mountains. Traveled. All manner of relationships. Built a nice career. Now I find I can enjoy games without that, I’m wasting my life feeling.

    All humans “waste” time. It’s odd to say reading is better than games. Or movies are better than TV. They’re all just mediums to convey stories. And really, there aren’t many original stories, just the same ones told over and over in different ways.

    At least with games, you are actively participating rather than passively consuming. And yes I do read lots of complicated books, and watch fine cinema, and great television.

    But I also garden, birding, botany, camp, etc.

    I can confirm and I do use this feature of jellyfin. It works great. The reader is unusable. I use Librera for reading. It’s great, free, and open source.

    So my flow is biblio, mam, library Genesis, Anna’s. Then to jellyfin folder that it reads automatically. Then I can download that to any device connected to the jellyfin server. Local is easy, abroad through tailscale.



  • Jellyfin is great but has some issues that can make it annoying. The 3rd party clients are often better than the normal interface. The server is easy to set up. So I can recommend all of it.

    Honestly though, just because it isn’t updated doesn’t mean it is not great. I always revert to Clementine myself. Still use it daily and love it. There is an updated variant called strawberry which is updated and works great, but the remote doesn’t work.




  • I had a beelink ser5, and without giving you the bench marks, I can tell you that many games that were unplayable on cinnamon or kde, did work in openbox. I would log out and back into that DE just to play games.

    Just my observation. I have upgraded my PC so I haven’t needed to repeat that with my new one.

    There is no white race. If you say “white pride” or “it’s alright to be white,” it is racist.

    If you say, “I’m of Scottish desent,” or “my mother was French and my father was from Finland,” it is not racist and no one cares.

    We have a a Scandinavian festival nearby that has traditional food and costumes that everyone goes to. It’s a few weeks after the Korean festival that everyone goes to. Neither of which are racist, they are inclusive, but celebrates a district heritage, and a great time is had by all.
