I have a couple of thoughts.

  1. I dont need or want Lemmy to appeal to the mainstream. Frankly, I already get all the mainstream 'culture' I can stand, and frequntly more.

  2. I think it's a mistake to consider Lemmy a one-to-one repacement for Reddit. I hope the fediverse can leverage the whole, y'know, federation thing. I think topic-driven instances that function similarly to the old phpBB boards is a good paradigm. It's not about a monster site that has a board for everything. It's more answering the question, 'What if I could post on gamefaqs from my metal archives account?'

I guess I just think we could do better than trying to out-reddit reddit, when it comes to having a vision for the platform.

But dont a lot of ISPs assign you a dynamic IP which makes hosting something that can access the Internet, and be accessed from the Internet, difficult?

I try to keep an eye out for repetitive tasks that might make good projects. I just started a python script that's going to download all my google photos so i can free up my cloud storage.

Lately ive been getting a lot of new music from rateyourmusic.com . I look up an album i like, find some themed lists featuring it that aound interesting (a lot of the lists are like "things i listened to this year", i ignore those), and will hop from list to list as i see interesting looking albums.

I'm glad I didn't pay for this. It looks fun but the performance is terrible it's literally freezing right now as I'm trying to quit. It eats up almost all of my CPU. I don't have a high-end gaming rig (any more), but i was able to get better performance out of the outer worlds.

This reminds me of the old human psychology trick: try not to think of a pink elephant.

Its a technics DD. I think its a mk 2 or 3 model. When its off its consistently off. Like it still locks into a speed its just the wrong speed.

I think its an electrical issue and im too afraid to take it apart while it still works sometimes. I probably couldnt fix anyway

I never stopped either, but i buy vinyl..slowed down since my turntable only spins at 33.3 in special occasions when the spirits shine upon it.
