Do you reread books?
  • The 4th book came out in Nov last year. I kinda forgot what happened in the 2nd and 3rd books. So giving those a re-read before I sink my teeth into "The Lost Metal".

    Honestly, might re-read the first trilogy too afterwards.

  • Why is the comment form at the bottom of the thread instead of the top?
  • ~tilde has their comment section setup the same way, and I believe their reasoning is because it encourages you to read the existing comments.

    Not sure if @ernest has the same intentions or if it was just a stylistic choice.

    Personally, I like that it's on the bottom of the threads.

  • I am so over winter
  • beautiful city that is Brisbane

    I have a cousin down that way, I might see if I can visit him one day and experience it.

    I would say come visit the beautiful city of Winnipeg,... but 1: It's not beautiful, and 2: no one wants to be in Winnipeg, not even Winnipeggers.

  • I am so over winter
  • its all relative.

    That's fair. 21C is ideal temp for me, although I prefer colder for mostly the reasons some people mentioned below. You can dress up for winter... harder to strip down for the heat. There's only so much that can come off before the police are called and you're arrested :P

    And I didn't realize that the houses aren't really made for the cold temps. Makes sense when you mention it though. Thanks for the answer, and sorry again if I came off as rude!

  • I am so over winter
  • I'll happily trade you

    EDIT: Just looked at some local temps... Isn't it like 15C in most places there? The lowest I see is ~9C. I understand Australia is a large place, but I don't see many cold temps. Sorry if I sound rude, I don't mean to, just curious.

    EDIT EDIT: How hot does it usually get there?

  • Self Hosted ebook server?
  • I highly recommend AudioBookShelf . It's mostly geared towards audiobooks/podcasts, but it has a decent reader built into it. That being said, it's not without it's flaws, like some document file types aren't recognized, and not properly syncing progress occasionally.

    Edit: I should mention it's actively being developed, devs are active on discord & GitHub, and it's getting better all the time.

  • What custom ROM is on your phone?
  • ... stock Samsung, but I removed as many bullshit stock apps as I could with ADB.

    Yea, I did the same. I have no idea why Samsung decided to force certain apps on their phone with no ability to disable them, for example the calendar. I miss the old days when android wasn't bundled with the manufacturer/carrier's preinstalled apps that can't be removed without having to jump through some hoops, however easy those hoops may be. It should just be as simple as clicking uninstall.

  • What custom ROM is on your phone?
  • I used to run CyanogenMod/LineageOS on my older phones, but since my S8, I've been using stock ROMs. Honestly not even sure a custom ROM exists for the S21. I'd love to make the switch if it does, however I know Google Wallet (Google Pay at the time) had a huge issue with custom firmware/ROMs and I don't imagine it's gotten any better over the years.

  • What are you all playing this week?
  • Actually just started Hyrule Warriors: Age of calamity last night. I enjoy it so far, especially cause there's no weapon deterioration like the other switch Zelda games. But it's a really fun hack and slash.

  • Endless Scrolling
  • I get not having infinite scroll for threads due to doom scrolling and I don't have it enabled, but is there a way to turn on infinity scroll for comments? I grew up on forums, and should be somewhat used to it, but reddit spoiled me in that regard and I do miss it.
