  • Is there a lot of benefit to running postmarketOS compared to rooted Android?

    I’ve had some trouble with flashing an old Asus tablet in that all the old images/info are basically dead links. But that is mostly just your average link rot.

    I figured compiling a custom ROM was more trouble than it’s worth but if the main branch is actively maintained maybe less so.



  • I feel like every MH game I’ve tried to get into I play a few dozen hours and just lose interest, same as most Soulsbourne games.

    Different weapon classes with significantly deeper movesets than is ever explained, have to be tactical about when to move/attack, “boss fights” rely on reading the enemy’s moves and reacting appropriately.

    The moods and details are black and white different but I get the comparison.


  • It’s generally nothing big enough to have heard of unless you’re looking into whatever niche it fills.

    Only example that comes to mind is mechanical keyboard stuff. For some of the smaller / one-off designs there was a habit of “if you need troubleshooting, here’s a discord link” instead of even minimal documentation. For “standard” stuff that used the same lil microcontrollers as everything else just a minor annoyance, but saw it with ones that used custom / no microcontroller too, where even a “you need X diodes, Y sprockets, etc” would’ve been nice.

    Like OP tend to see it and move on and forget about it because it’s not worth it. The few times I really wanted to get some service running on a raspberry pi or arduino or whatever and tried the discord was a handful of ‘regulars’ swapping memes that were annoyed I wasn’t intimately aware of their codebase.




  • The 2020 Dracula Netflix show.

    The first episode is a fun reimagining of the original story. The second episode is a neat “reverse who-done-it”/bottle episode. The third episode should not exist. Full stop. “Dracula wakes up in modern times and it turns out his weaknesses are just PTSD and then he chooses to die out of honor or something.”

    Penny Dreadful

    The second season ends on a fantastic melancholy vibe that matches the whole tone of the show. The third season wastes all character development to have extra drama.
