AntennaPod is great, I used it for years. I eventually switched to self hosting AudioBookShelf which does audiobooks, ebooks, and podcasts. One main reason was because podcasts more and more yank the old episodes and put them behind a patreon. AudioBookShelf downloads the episodes to your server so you always have them. About 5 months after starting using it another one of my podcasts pulled that stunt and I was super happy to have all of the old episodes still.

I haven't been as excited for a new era of Bears football since mayyybe the April 2007 news that we got Jay Cutler. I remember there was a ton of hype then too (which didn't live up to the hype, even though Cutty was the best QB in my lifetime). But this really does feel different.

Damn I guess people really don't want to talk about the draft, only downvotes so far, just trying to get a convo going in chibears. What can we do to get some conversations going that the community wants?

I never understood the boring argument, and I've read it quite a bit online. Every scene has a ton going on.

It starts with a banger wedding outside while the don hears about somebody's daughter being savagely raped. Theres also a short conversation about Fontaine and the movie exec being a dick. Bam, hagen is in Hollywood. You wonder what the family has up their sleeve, bam horse decapitated head in the bed.

Business meeting about drugs, sonny goofs, wonder how that will go - assassination attempt. Hagen held captive. Luca sleeps with the fishes. Don in hospital, another assassination attempt thwarted, scene full of tension the entire time.

Michael decides he's in the business now, they plan the attack, then bam middle of the movie you have an incredibly long tense scene of a drive and dinner that you know is going to end in violence.

I mean all of that is just in the first half of the movie. It's buildup action buildup action repeat. This is not some slow character study alone... It's a master class of character study with plot plot plot.

It's almost ridiculous how much plot there is to be honest. After all of the above there's Carlo abusing Connie and sonny beating the shit out of him. There's Carlo doing it a second time as a trap and sonny getting fucking annihilated by gunfire. Michael escapes to Sicily, gets married, and his wife is murdered in a car bomb meant for him.

The cherry on top is Michael murdering the heads of the other families in one of the best climaxes of all time

Sorry for the rant. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. I just don't understand the boring argument, this is not a slow movie lol

and now kirk signed with the falcons...

Matrix. Spin up a conduit server, doesn't tale very long and it works great. Clients arent perfect but the next gen clients are available in beta (element x) and will fix a lot of the issues current gen clients have

Screen sharing is still a pain in my experience. I'm a tiling window manager guy. I used i3 for years. Switched to sway, but have issues because xdg-desktop-portal-wlr can't do application sharing, only entire screen sharing. Well I have a ultra ultra wide screen, so people can't see shit on normal monitors when I try to share my screen. So at work, where I regularly have video conferences, I'm constantly changing my screen resolution so that I can screen share something that looks OK to others, but 1980x1024 looks ridiculous on my end on my ultrawide.

Hyperland can share applications and even regions, which is awesome, and I tested it successfully on my home gentoo system, but it only worked on Firefox. Didn't work for my jitsi electron app and didn't work in qutebrowser. And hyperland isn't easily installable on Ubuntu which is what I run for work because my work computer needs to just werk (gentoo is probably even more stable but I can't mess with long complie upgrades at work and some corporate software is only available as .debs)

So yea my life would honestly be easier if I just stuck with i3 everywhere but I'm stubbornly trying to use Wayland because I know it's the future but don't kid yourselves, it is a pain in the ass

While docker is open source I have no idea why systemd nspawn containers aren't more popular. Most systems have this built in without needing to install 3rd party software. And I find using it so much easier. I assign each container an IP address and manage them all with ansible. It provides isolation and convenience while not trying to reinvent the wheel.

I'm having a hard time getting into software that doesn't use traditional folder structures. I wish I could point immich to my NAS Pictures folder and have multiple places to seen the same exact files, immich when I want, nextcloud maybe, or just a file browser pointed to my NAS.

I'm having the same issue with paperless-ngx. I set it up and it's cool, but why can't I just point it to my Documents folder? I'm getting all of my 2023 taxes ready and now I have to upload them into two places, paperless-ngx for my records and Nextcloud so I can ultimately share a link with my accountant.

Am I old man yelling at cloud-ing right now? Why get rid of basic folder structures I just don't get it

Bright spot on offense for sure. Now we need a stud center and our line could be very good. Throw in a stud RG and we could be great.

I tend to just read through best-of lists and pick shows that I think are interesting off of that, which often times have fully ended. I'm watching through Deadwood now haha, I'm a little late on that one.

The last time something like that has happened to me is with Last Man on Earth.

Man I keep hearing this about the latest season, very excited to watch it

Follow up tweet:

[NBCS Chicago] The Bears said their OC interview process would ask the candidates how they’d plan to design offenses around quarterbacks with different skill sets. Waldron apparently aced that test.

I have kodi boxes on all of my TVs and play local 4k content 95% of the time, but yea I need sports and live tv occasionally. Websites work pretty well on computers but the streams on kodi addons are very bad, constant interruptions. So I can either hook up raspberry pis runnung raspbian on each my Tvs and have wireless keyboards so I can go to the streaming websites, or I try to get a paid IPTV service on kodi, which I'm trying to do right now.

I think it's a no brainer to draft a qb. I'm guessing, but i think any talk from poles or flus about keeping all options open etc is just to maximize trade value for fields. I just don't see a way the bears can run it back with fields after 3 seasons of bottom 7 qb play in the league, especially with the #1 pick.

As for OC... No idea there.

it doesn't make any sense. the defense did play better as the season went on but they had one of the easiest schedules... They were playing well against Washington, Carolina, atlanta, etc. They played like absolute garbage against green bay, the chiefs, the chargers... You know, the teams with decent qbs.

I really hope they know what they're doing because not going after harbaugh or one of the other half dozen great candidates is crazy to me

I believe there are federation issues with 19.1 that should be fixed in the just released new version. I'll upgrade today, should fix the issue. This affected every instance, not just 1337lemmy.

Merry Christmas eve bears nation!

I didn't get the one with Bluetooth or WiFi or whatever. Just turn it on and set temp. But yea it isn't the cheapest.
