I built a 3D printed ereader stand that has a RAM mount ball on the other side.

Right now it’s sitting atop a manfrotto monopod between my bed and side table. Eventually want to mount it on the wall, but the monopod has worked well enough I don’t see too much need to change things up.

With a cheap Bluetooth tiktok ring remote bought online, I’ve had a very enjoyable reading experience in bed, and if I drift off there’s no worry about the device

Boox’s Neoreader is surprisingly good, but KoReader just frog blasts it. And since it’s just and Android app, it’s trivial to install and keep updated

Free cellular for life, except Amazon has basically limited it down to nothing

I loved my oasis, but the whispersync was, for all intents, busted, for the last few years.

Finally moved to a boox go color, installed calibre, and couldn’t be happier

Check out standard ebooks. They take public domain books and “clean” them up with really good typesetting, spelling fixes, and other things. All free too

Boox Go 7 Color II

Install KoReader on it (it runs Android so it’s literally just installing a new app) and you’ve got the best reading experience out there

Bullshit

Funko pops. Lego. Star wars. Marvel

If you can swing it. I really like bun for more traditional node stuff, because it has a ton of goodies built in, like a bundler

I only recently found out that FSD treats you like a poorly behaved toddler, with its stupid strike system. For those who are unaware, if the car doesn’t think you’re holding on to the steering wheel and paying attention to the road, it gives you a strike. Once you have one strike, you can’t use FSD for the duration of that drive. Once you get three strikes, it’s disabled for an indeterminate time period, typically a week, but you can find reports of drivers being locked out for a year or longer. Keep in mind, this is a feature you have to pay extra money for, on a subscription basis

My Subaru doesn’t give a shit if I accidentally let go of the steering wheel on a drive with its its lane keep assist system enabled, it just beeps at me with increasing urgency, while still doing its job

I used to buy plane tickets on a VPN with an exit node in Southeast Asia. Cross country USA for $95

Ghost, tumblr, WordPress, any of the self hosted SSGs out there.

Substack just annoying as can be anyway, with the constant spammy pop-ups about subscribed to my newsletter and whatever the hell else. Absolutely atrocious blogging platform

I love mine. Don’t use it for much, but still love it

Iirc Wikipedia supports it for tab notation

Personally I much prefer lilypond. I wonder if this tool supports lilypond. Would love to have a workflow to scan sheet music and get lilypond out the other end.

TF2 has years on destiny

First term Trump divested of most of his businesses, so this is even a departure for him

What the hell are they thinking

The sad thing is, we had federated auth before social sign on. OpenID was a thing before oauth

I once used one to look up my friend from summer camp. He lived in New York City and I didn’t live anywhere close

Library had a bunch of NYC phonebooks

Doh. Forgot we were actually up to pixel 10 phones, and thought it was a new 10" tablet
