  • I feel this way about music too. Not just pirated tunes, but copyright takedowns on shorts and in yt vids

    Finding new artists as a fan is hard enough. If someone has reposted your music video as their own, sure I get it.

    But a minute clip or less? Fans or haters talking about it? Let that thing fly free baby! I’ve found so much new music that was background music. I use the family Spotify account or buy merch more than I buy music these days to support.

    I’ve bought so many books from authors that became my favs after they did a free epub once that got my attention.

    There’s always the “do this thing free for the exposure” problem - but people who say that are usually trying to exploit artists for their own gain. Fans are different, they are grass roots and not trying to exploit, but trying to recruit.





  • Omg, it’s an inside-joke at our company now.

    Anytime something happens on a server that’s been running great for years, like a hard drive going bad or the time one literally caught on fire…

    98% of the time it is selinux that is the reason it is doing weird things after the main fix because selinux changed a setting on the reboot.

    “Have you checked selinux?” is the go to question whenever anything breaks now, even if it’s not a computer.


  • I have an S7 (yes I know it’s old) I still like it and it works - but - something happens about once or twice a month and it starts hanging up whenever a phone call connects and/or an app will get super laggy.

    Anyway, reboot fixes it (so far) and nothing else I’ve tried does.

    There’s definitely something with these older phones that is like a slow leak and the simple, easy, lasts for weeks fix is to just take 2 minutes for a full “turn it off and back on again”

    Plus the overheating when something gets stuck doing a background thing. Reboot reboot.

    I plan to use this phone until it dies, reboot stops fixing things, or needed apps are no longer working/supported.

    Slack no longer works/supported, but that one I’m just like “oh, noooo” However I expect ones I actually need to start falling off and I’ll be lucky to get a couple more years of use.

    My meandering point, some of us are still using Android phones where reboot helps a lot








  • I’m the wife and I’m like you. I will stand in the dark and wait for my eyes to adjust rather than turn on a light.

    We have fairy lights and red LED string lights for the high traffic areas to dissuade hubby from flipping on the overhead.

    Low light motion sensor nightlights for a couple spots so that we don’t step on a cat on the way to the bathroom.

    The kitchen lights are dimmable, so we can go bright when needed to cook, and dim if just searching for a snack.

    I love it. He has given in and adjusted. I find it calm and cozy.
