Where do you go for audiobooks? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

If you live in the USA and have a library card, you can get audiobooks for free via libby with your library card number and login. If you're looking for other sources, MAM is the goto.

edit: correction, their website says it's worldwide, which is nice.

There's a lady that I follow on YouTube and she did a video about this topic. PlantsWithKrystal. Here's a link to the short. https://youtube.com/shorts/G6_MHx-QjgQ

Australian-style cafe Citizens now serving North Austin in c/[email protected]

Their menu is all over the place. Maybe that's what Australian food is, but between the breakfast, deli, and dinner. Dang! I can only imagine their food costs. I mean this is their 4th location, so it must be down.

I bet you it's because they are short on lifeguards. I keep seeing gigantic signs advertising lifeguard positions for something like $20/hr.

EA re-release The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 on PC as DLC-stuffed Legacy editions in c/[email protected]

As an Ex BioWare and EA employee of 13 years, I can certainly tell you, Maxis and BioWare are separate studios with separate decisions. EA does own them but the decision is not related. I can say, however, EA sets the bar way too damn high. I'm just waiting for it to bite them in the ass. I feel like it's already started.

What's the difference between an "untruth" and a lie? Aren't they the same?

I mean honestly, if you're worried, I'd root the device and install a custom ROM that is privacy focused.

I wonder if they are complying with the Texas law of no unsolicited nude images? I, myself, uninstalled it, but if you're curious, here's the law

So, I used to have my own VPS and utilize saltbox to roll my own seedbox, but I just can't afford that anymore (could have been my specs, but I was paying like 30-35/mo).

I have used whatbox way back in the day, before my VPS, and it was good.

I'm looking for an adequate seedbox. I'm mostly a Usenet person. I'm very familiar with Linux from terminal.

What do you guys use, other than a VPS and a local NAS. Thanks!

update0: Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. I'll update once again on what I go with! Much love to the advice!

Maybe it's nutria? They're invasive and Louisiana incentives people to hunt them. Maybe that's what it is? Very beaver like. Lol

FOSS Task / Project Management that's *actually* free to self-host? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I believe this might fit your use. https://onedev.io/ it's open source as per here: https://github.com/theonedev/onedev When I worked for BioWare for ten years (EA for 13) we used a very awesome product called QuickBuild (Build system, Jenkins is trash. QB is based on Hudson) made by them, pmease. Robin Shine is the dev and he's really cool, very responsive. Check it out, they make good stuff.

This is perfect if you're going the kanban route, which is arguably sufficient. It's nice that they have different deployments and a demo.

What service do you use [USA] (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I, switched from Google FI because of lack of customer support and services that were getting less and less, but more costly and costly. I went to T-Mobile. Good service, much the same as Google fi is a first party mvno. Anyway I use a private dns. NextDns. T-Mobile had no clue what a dns was and the super had to Google it. They SEVERELY THROTTLE if you use next dns.

I HATE THAT. What do you use as privacy conscious individuals?

edit: not that! What

I got offered a Stage. Need advice (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So I'm pivoting away from tech, which makes money but I find incredibly soul sucking, into service. There's a super delicious, slightly upscale ramen joint right next to my apartment building. I saw they posted something on poached looking for line cooks. I took in my resume and told the guy my story and he offered me a stage. I'm super excited, nervous, and scared, but in a good way.

I feel honored and humbled. He told me to wear black, wear restaurant shoes and bring my knife. I have a week. (Oh by the way i got laid off from EA).

So I intend on getting a victorinox knife and damn, figuring it out. (My current knife is really uncomfortable and i just moved in with my partner who's a FOH manager at a local seafood place). I cook a lot and love it, love this place and specialize in asian cooking. I've worked in a kitchen before but it's been 13 years.

Anyway a long story long, anyone have any advice?

Also mods, if this is the wrong place for this, please delete it. I looked but didn't find another place.

Update: i got the job! They had me do lots of prep, green onions, white onions, arugula, trained me on the line. It was only 4 hours then the Chef offered me the job! Woohoo! He said my knife cuts were nice! Lol

Edit: i hate the job. I went down to 2 days and got a new job. The people i work with are unprofessional and think they are the shit. It's annoying. Lol NEXT
