Faceman2K23 , 10 months ago to mildlyinteresting in I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong!

It’s a neat website, but it is very America specific.

For example, I’m Australian and I wasn’t taught about slavery or genocide of our native people in high school. Hell, I was taught that the Stolen generation was a misnomer and children were only taken voluntarily or as an act of mercy… I graduated in 2008 so it wasn’t exactly the dark ages. Referring to the planned exterminations of the natives as “battles” and “conflicts” at best was another one. they didn’t even mention the shit that went down in Tasmania.

it’s not just the dumb stuff like food pyramids and taste zones, even in schools today history is being glossed over

That’s what FMD does. I give it a list of series to follow and the preferred source for them and it just downloads the lot as fast as it can and checks for updates regularly.

It’s kind of like sonarr for manga and comics.

Or use the komga add on for tachiyomi to download the series and read off-line. I’ve never had to do that as I’ve never not had internet on my devices

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago to technology in Raspberry Pi 5 Benchmarks: Significantly Better Performance, Improved I/O

Man I really want something in the full size form factor but with a CPU closer to a zero2, basically I want a pi3 modernised and cost optimised, not another more powerful pi.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago to technology in Raspberry Pi 5 Benchmarks: Significantly Better Performance, Improved I/O

What I’d like to see is something like an updated and optimised ~pi3-spec device with EMMC or an m.2 sata slot. Yes I know I can put a pi zero2 into a breakout board, but they connect via USB and that severely limits performance.

I recently decommissioned my pis (2x 3b and 1x 4b) and replaced them all with a single intel n95 based NUC (which cost less than a single pi4 8gb at the time) and I didn’t need any real gpio other than some serial ports, but if the right device came along with reliable storage I’d consider moving back to pis.

Komga is a server app that manages comics and manga and makes them available via a web interface, has multi user management and multiple library support with read tracking and such… think Plex for Manga.

I access it from my Phone and my Boox e-ink Tablet and if I use the webui it tracks where I’ve read up to between devices.

I use a program called FMD (free Manga Downloader) I have it running in a container on my server and have a bunch of series watchlisted, when chapters are released it download them, converts them to CBZ and they appear in my Komga Library which I can access via web browser or Tachiyomi on all of my devices anywhere in the world.

Stroganoff 2: Electric boogaloo

Actually the history of Stroganoff is a messy one, it definately originated in russia, but we dont really know where or when, some are tomato based and some have no cream at all, some have freaking pickles in it. the true origins of the dish are lost.

The modern western strog is closer to chinese strog than any of the slavic strogs. Japanese strog is its own thing that seems to be based on an older recipe likely replicated from memory or from a vague description.

Hold up, Stroganoff 2 just dropped

make sure to lick the letter seal really good and wet so the stroganoff doesn’t fall out.

Yea there’s very little public information on hacking anything other than android boxes and most of the more extreme stuff will break apps like Netflix or Disney+ so the best thing to do it leave it effectively stock, load on a hacked youtube client, with a dummy google account if you really want it private and your personal streaming client of choice (Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi etc) and then do some filtering/ad blocking in your network to lock it down.

The only caveat with an SBC is codec support varies greatly between distros you use on them, and you have to work out your own control/remote situation. I moved away from them for media a few years ago because I was sick of having to tinker and reinstall things because some codec was broken or the screen was tearing, or an update broke something requiring terminal access to fix. If you want a proper home theatre setup with full HDR and lossless surround support it’s not worth the trouble.
