I started a free writing journal to help generate ideas and learn to get a little more creative. It's basically just a regular journal at this point, I just write in it whenever I have a thought that I feel I should keep. It's been invaluable for coping with mental health stuff too. I don't think I'll ever stop, it's not something I have to force myself to do any more.

I've got mini metro, something called shapez that I've not played, functional ear trainer which I'm classifying as a game cause it kinda is, and NYT games which is the only one I play regularly.

If you haven't already done it, Pat (the Bunny) put all his stuff on archive and he's far from the only one.

Not everyone likes the way these images are built, but the liinuxserver.io containers are so easy to use. You can replace so many cloud services using these, I've replaced:

  • All streaming platforms
  • Google drive
  • Google photos
  • Every note app
  • The library (sorta, I just host an ebook server for manga that won't fit on my reader)
  • Grocery lists
  • Exercise tracking apps

Plus I've setup some awesome new stuff like a website for one of my collectives and a few things to automate server maintenance.

You need somewhere to host your services (I'm using an old PC) and a little linux experience, but it's absolutely worth giving it a crack. I might work in the industry but I learnt more making my little server than I ever did on the job.

I was literally joking about "body horror voltron" with a friend yesterday

I stopped using Reddit when I joined Lemmy, but I've still got a Facebook account because the family chat is in messenger, and I use Instagram because that's where a lot of important information about things like rallies and mutual aid are disseminated (it's a bonus that it's also where I find cool gigs too).

I've also got Tumblr and mastodon, but I don't use them much at all, I live here more than anywhere else.

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting that! Sounds like fun

I figured as much, but I thought OP might be looking to recreate the childhood experience.

The saddle club is a book series iirc. I just remember the TV show being popular when I was a kid, but I've never been a horse person so I can't say if the books or show are worth it.

Sometimes it can be fun, I've had a fair bit of fun during some rallies by handing my megaphone to loads of different people, we had a counter protest back in April that turned into a dance party too.

I've also been to plenty of scary ones. I had one where I had to run away from violent cops and change into a different outfit behind dumpsters. Sometimes the adrenaline can be fun if it's a more spicy action, usually the nerves go away once you get started.

Patch making, and I've no idea why people are surprised about it tbh. It's really easy if you've got access to a printer (or you can trace from a screen) and a pair of scissors.

That said I have a slightly unusual process where I design stencils in fusion 360 and then print them on my 3D printer, they're durable and reusable that way. I'm still working on improving the final print quality, but I've had some really good results like this gigantic Ash Bricky back patch that took me ~20 hours over three days.

DisclaimerI bought the actual shirt I swear, it just wasn't the right shape or size for a back patch. Also I never sell other people's designs like this.

 

This is Max, my brother's greyhound (hey bro if you're reading this). He was keeping me company today while I took some time to relax and recover from recent traumatic stuff, he's the goodest boy like that.

Not pictured are the two miniature poms who cuddled with me today as well.

I basically listen to music constantly, and when I'm on holiday or riding my bike I generally use USB-C earbuds. I've had way too many wireless buds break and I'm sick of them, but these aren't fairing much better tbh.

Problem is that the cables always eventually stop working, often from my phone being in my pocket while I'm walking or cycling. I've been able to partly extend their life by keeping my phone in the thigh pocket on my cargo pants but it often just falls over and bends the cable more sharply than my hip pocket.

I'm looking for either a pair of highly durable earbuds either USB-C or 3.5mm with a USB-C DAC recommendation, or even better a DSP cable that I could use with IEMs with a 0.78mm connector.

I'm also open to any other suggestions at all.
