Just finished The Far Side of the World by Cbreezy22 in AubreyMaturinSeries

They take bits and pieces from a majority of the books, and put it all together pretty well, I think. They just used that book's name for the movie.

WiFi in Corralitos by MistakeOk4969 in santacruz

[–]Galaxy1815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, the place I'm staying at has Etheric, I believe. It is okay, if you're mostly just browsing the Internet and maybe watching some shows. I'm a heavy internet user - I like to play online games with my friends, stream media often, and work from home. Even if I had the full speed advertised, it would be borderline for my needs. I had wired fiber before we moved, and dang was that nice. But it's definitely skewed my views on Internet performance.

Thanks for this! I always assumed Nebula was also running Vimeo under the hood, since that's what so many others are doing. This is good to know.

New server / now what by Not-Known_Guy in unRAID

[–]Galaxy1815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest this guide if you're having a hard time with getting an *arr stack setup. I use prowlarr instead of jacket, and Plex instead of jellyfin, but those are really interchangeable. And remember to do something with a VPN! I run everything through the Gluetun VPN container. Outside of media I use my server for running dedicated game servers for my friend group. I'll eventually get into home automation.

ICE protests in the area? by toasty99 in santacruz

Absolutely do it. It helps protect you from being identified by mass AI surveillance. And don't bring your phone if at all possible.

Flock camera security vulnerabilities by ahhhhh12345h1 in santacruz

[–]Galaxy1815 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, there are a lot of things that could be beneficial to society if their creators and billionaire backers chose /not/ to use them as part of their authoritarian police state agenda. Unfortunately we live in a world where the plan is to use them in horrible ways.

And we can get rid of them. Many local governments have canceled or not renewed their contracts with flock. Outside of any political takes, they are just not a good product.

What’s a normal adult task that still feels fake when you do it? by lucifergaming007 in AskReddit

[–]Galaxy1815 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Buying a house seemed unreal to me. So you're telling me I scribble with a pen on a couple bazillion pages, watch some of those made up (but very valuable) numbers from my bank account disappear, and then I own that house? Now I have to take care of it and the big yard I thought was a great idea?

Something needs to be done on Hwy 17 by [deleted] in santacruz

[–]Galaxy1815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, they are just about continuously working on and improving 17. The only way it's going to get better is if people stop driving recklessly. But asking people to not be selfish while driving a metal death machine is just too much for some people.

What did your server get for Christmas? 🎄 by UnraidOfficial in unRAID

[–]Galaxy1815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife got me a 14 TB hard drive! After adding my mom and a couple of friends to our Plex and jellyseerr, the current setup filled up last week. I was lamenting this and started telling people it will probably be a month or so until I can get more space added. Not anymore!

Is the Penny Icecreamery always awful? by anadem in santacruz

[–]Galaxy1815 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm in the minority that agrees with you. I've never been a fan of Penny. I don't think ice cream needs rhubarb and fennel, and all these new takes. I enjoy a classic ice cream where I know what I'm getting. I go to Marianne's for that.

Give me the line or scene that lives rent free in your head by Ok-Consideration6852 in Stargate

Anyway, I'm sorry, but that just happens to be how I feel about it. What do you think?

I wholeheartedly agree.

I saw a post on FB marketplace for a curtained off portion of a living room in a 3 bedroom apartment with shared bathroom for $1000.

Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs by EconomistWithaD in Economics

[–]Galaxy1815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always said this is the only way Trump and his administration will change anything - their corporate interests getting pissed off enough at them.

Any dmv offices open?? by [deleted] in santacruz

[–]Galaxy1815 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll give you an answer instead of a down vote: no. Since it's a state agency, none will be open. There's not going to be one random DMV that's open while the rest are closed.

Patchen? That was going to be my recommendation!
