Anything doomy/stonery like great chain of being etc. push those right out to the 1 hour mark and go full dopesmoker with them.

If you listen to enough live recordings you do kinda get some of what you are looking for though, they often string multiple songs together into suites, with extra parts, callbacks, and then reprise back into the first song to finish. last time I saw them they did a fantastic extended Gaia into Gila Monster (pre single release, was very cool) and back into Gaia. and an extended grim reaper with extra rap pulling from other tracks, that was amazing.

Gotta download at least a few actual Linux ISOs to be a real datahoarder.

If you are into self hosting there is a very good tachiyomi plugin for Komga which is a manga and comics server you can self host and fill with your own content, it also supports connecting to multiple servers.

I have 2 Komga instances running on my home server (one for normal manga and one for the.. other kind), content is collected by FMD2 which automatically downloads series I have set to monitor (similar to sonarr but less polished). then in tachiyomi I have access to all of that content streamed across the web to my phone and boox e-reader anywhere in the world. it's pretty neat but the only missing feature is synchronising read status and position across devices.

Yes but a landline call, made over a 5g modem connection is not a GSM phone call, it is a sip data call that gets separated out to the emergency system at the isps end, its a higher priority stream than data, but its still data. They didn't work.

They could have made the modems use GSM phone routing for emergency calls, but they don't. It's all sip data.

Huge number of landlines now go through SIP tunnels over the NBN.. so if your internet is down, no phone calls, not even emergency unless you have purposefully designed your network with failover to another provider. the few remaining physical landline connections become data at some point now too, so if that backend goes down, not even the emergency calls will go through.

Many of the consumer routers supplied by the ISPs now have failover to a 4g/5g connection, but it's always the same network of course, so the failover is useless unless there's some actual work done by the providers in allowing emergency failover to their competitors.

It's probably possible and safe for roms, but then there are already more or less complete packs for basically every console and retro computer ever made so it's not that useful.

This year I know one of the jockeys (they used to be my Neighbors), I don't know what horse he was on, I'm not googling it and sending that to my google algorithm, I refuse to watch it or give the industry as a whole any of my attention.

It needs to die, and the gambling that goes with it.

I run Plex for my main system but have Jellyfin installed to keep up to date with its progress.

I gave up on Emby pretty quickly but never went back to try it again, maybe it's better now, but if I wanted an alternative to plex i'd stick with Jellyfin because it's open source and community run.

I weep for your phone bill, I used to do that to send emails from my Sony Clie when wifi was still pretty new and rare in public.

Are we old. I think we're old.

The only mmo's I ever really spent any significant time with were FFXI (on dial up for most of the time I spent with it so my experience wasn't great) and GW2. not mentioning eve... we dont talk about that..

There was a free MMORPG called Planeshift (I played quite a lot in 2005 or so, it's still around and being actively worked on) that was very elder scrolls inspired, I put a lot of time into in the past too but being a small free amateur project it didn't have a lot of players.

I just don't have the time or motivation to give modern MMOs the attention they really need to make progress, and I was very much a solo player at the time so progress was slow and hard.

I think if I was to pick up a new one it would be FF14, it has a balance of open gameplay and story which a lot of mmos ignore, it seems like a good community but as with all mmos they really dont want you to just drop in a play a couple of hours every second weekend, they want you to get in daily and stick to a routine, which I just cant commit to these days.

I went with momentary push-button switches connected to zigbee dimmers behind the wallplates. Cost more but it's much more sensible, particularly for double switch situations where you just parallel up the switches.

Hey, Jeff's here! Neat.
