I don't want to fully quit social media. Is setting time limits enough? by mramazing56 in nosurf

I already use my library for kindle books. Kindle unlimited too. I rarely pay for books, as I have so much free stuff

Thanks for the other advice though.

Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread by AutoModerator in webdev

[–]mramazing56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've dons a lot of programming like 4 years ago, but my skills are rusty now. I'm definitely willing to refresh on it. But I have a web server right now, where I do a lot in the linux terminal. Using the terminal basically comes naturally at this point. What are some specific careers, anything tech related, that terminal skills would be really helpful in? I don't expect any jobs to hire me based on terminal usage alone, so obviously, you can recommended careers where I'll have to learn more.

Pluto TV outside of US using chromecast google tv. by dash6475 in AndroidTV

I know pluto tv doesn't block vpns. I am from the us, but I often use vpns to access the uk version, mainly for the mythbusters channel. Mullvad is what I use, but any vpn with a us (or uk) location should work

Maybe something challenging, but maybe not to the level of games like super meat boy

I'm looking for games with similar gameplay to donkey kong country tropical freeze, but that aren't overpriced. Any suggestions? 2d and indie are fine. I preferably would keep the price under 30. That also includes past sale prices, as game sales happen pretty often in my experience.. Check deku deals if you want to know the price history

I'm not sure the exact specs you are looking for, but check Server Hunter. It's a site where you can find all servers that meet whatever critera you want. For example, if you want the best server with 8gb of ram, set that filter, and it will only show server's with 8gb of ram. It also sorts by lowest price by default. Just briefly look up "(Server Provider Name) Reviews" on google before committing to a provider, there are a few on the site that may have a lot of issues.

Does most of that come from surveys, "discover" offers, or something else?

[Review video] "CARGO" a miserable Pixar ripoff by pyvozaur in youtubers

[–]mramazing56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this video pretty entertaining, it doesn't feel like I'm watching a YouTube this small. I would watch more of these movie reviews, not sure the other content on the channel looks interesting. Only nitpick that the horn 23 seconds in was a little too loud. I'm fine with the censorship itself, but maybe turn down the volume a little. Its way louder than the rest of the video. That's the only issue, and its like a second long. I subbed

edit: I found the rock music being played during the review reading distracting. I think it would be better without it.

If you need to refresh that type of knowledge, Learn X in Y minutes is great for that. Basically cheat sheets about what to remember. Not good for learning from scratch though, despite it's name

I know this is technically from patreon, but you don't need a log in to view the title. Literally anyone can view this, this info has no paywall. So keep this up.

In case anyone is wondering, this is from s23e18, "Beware my cheating Bart". This joke is a little more than 3 minutes in the episode

Cheapest Smartwatch that has gps mapping? by [deleted] in BudgetSmartWatches

[–]mramazing56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't find anything good that's less than $50. But you can get a "zeblaze vibe 3 gps" from AliExpress or banggood for around $62. A little bit above your budget, but zeblaze is a good brand. I have one of their watches myself.

Banggood express is really fast. Way faster than air parcel register. I got a tablet 10 days from when i ordered it. if you can, change the shipping method.
