  • What TV shows are you watching and would recommend?

    Jump

  • Mr. D (think Michael Scott but a teacher)

    Shrinking (low stakes like Ted Lasso)

    Taskmaster UK (if you like comedy panel type shows. Although it's not really a panel in the traditional sense)

  • How often do you clean your home? Are there any techniques you use to reduce dust accumulation?

    Jump

  • So many things factor into this...

    Our house became significantly (like 97%) less dusty when our dog passed.

    The age of your house

    The type of furnace filter

    Routine

    We have 3 small kids, so we try to tidy up physical stuff (toys, clothes, bags, etc) every day. Dishes too.

    Once a week is wiping down nin-kitchen surfaces

    Once a month is wiping down baseboards and door trim

  • Stupid question I think but since this isn't private, I should use a VPN?

  • Im sure this is a dumb issue, but all I can find are guides for these trackers. Are there links somewhere or are they hidden from web searches?

  • Which tracker(s) do you use for music? I'm looking into ditching $potify

  • Forget Chrome—Google Starts Tracking All Your Devices In 8 Weeks

  • Ditto!

  • For me, it's "Grandad"

  • A non credible list of Canadian Contributions to warfare

    Jump

  • Wow! Thank you so much for this.

    I saw your answer awhile ago but left it unread until I could read the links... then promptly forgot until now.

    Fascinating stuff! Much appreciated!

  • D-Link refuses to patch yet another security flaw, suggests users just buy new routers — D-Link told users to replace NAS last week

    Jump

  • Seconded. I didn't know the life cycle of a router but I replaced my asus router with another asus router recently. Not because it stopped working but because we have so many devices for our iot and I wanted some vlan. The old one is being repurposed at someone else's house

  • What media has your favorite worldbuilding?

    Jump

  • I'd say the same. And he's got so many good quotes, most (killin' aside) relatable.

    Logan Ninefingers (First Law) Amos Burton (Expanse) Wayne & Steris (Mistborn, Era 2)

    I don't think there's another character I like more than these folks. Logan probably sits at the top though.

    Jump

  • 10/10 recommend. I'm 6/9 through the expanse and on 7/10 with Joe Abercrombie. (these are number of books, not ratings)

    Joe's books are great. After the first trilogy, it's 3 stand-alone and a compilation of short stories. So if you don't love his stuff (if you liked the expanse you will) you can be done after the First Law Trilogy

    My lemmy username is directly related to the First Law Trilogy

  • How do you actually read?

    Jump

  • Got to around 30 yrs old

    I realized that I, on paper, really like non-fiction books. In practice, I really only like fantasy and space operas (different than sci-fi)

    Every night before bed, I read 10 pages or a chapter. Whichever comes first. Can always read more, but not less.

    So to answer,

    Almost every night Fantasy / space opera Mid 30s, father I've added audiobooks to my commute The most important part (I think) is figuring out what you like, and then setting a small but achievable routine

    Jump

  • Sorry. I was tired and wanted to get something out before it was too late.

    But yeah, a lame attempt at a Sanderson reference

  • Have you read Babel by R.F. Kuang? Did you like it?

    Jump

  • So many people ranted and raved about it.

    I finished it, but I hate read it from about the ⅓ point until the end.

    I don't understand why anyone would like ita and I too loath it, with a passion.

    There are no redeeming qualities, it was time I'll never get back. The only positive thing is, combined with hate reading the 3 Body Problem trilogy around the same time, I came to the conclusion that just because I bought/was gifted a book, doesn't mean it can't be a DNF.

  • What's a really great audio book you are listening to at the moment?

    Jump

  • I've been listening to the graphic audio versions of The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson.

    I just finished listening to Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy. The narrator was fantastic. Probably the best I've listened.
