This cover of Alabama Shakes’ Hold On by The Big Push is so good.
This is the second time since I’ve installed Zorin that the OS thinks I only have 9% battery left (it’s really 99% and fully charged). The system even says fully charged, but also reads 9%. If I unplug, it warns me that battery is low. Rebooting takes it back to 99%.
Playing around with the Zen browser again after not using it for a while. I think I may make it the default on my Zorin laptop for a while. I love that it uses Firefox’s engine and I can sign into my Firefox account and sync everything I need to.
I wish my local NPR station, St. Louis Public Radio, would add RSS feeds for their news articles.
7Up Shirley Temple may be my new favorite soda.
Currently reading: Only God Can Judge Me by Jeff Pearlman 📚
Now playing: The Big Push - An Englishman in New York from the album Busking Sessions.
One thing that channels does better than any other media server is the Virtual Channels feature. The problem is, other features rarely work with it. Can’t add streamlinked content to virtual channels. Can’t use Virtual Channels in the new multiview (or any personal media). So many caveats.
Channels had a pretty nice update. The multi-view is pretty looking. Unfortunately, it only works with live TV sources. My dreams of watching live sports, Seinfeld, Saved by the Bell, and Field of Dreams all at the same time will have to wait. I did get some sports channels added via EPlusTV though.
No rap songs are in Billboard’s top 40 for the first time since 1990. Now is ska’s chance to strike. The children yearn for ska.
My media server is a mini PC that runs Windows 11. My laptop is an old Macbook Pro that runs Linux (currently Zorin OS), I have a Raspberry Pi running Unbound and Pi-hole and a Mac Mini and my work machine is a Macbook Pro. The worst system to maintain updates on, by far, is the Windows 11 machine.
I found one weird oddity on Zorin so far. I installed Firefox (because fuck Brave) and it defaulted to the flatpak version. The flatpak app was having issues connecting to local sites. Installing the system package resolved that issue. Strange.
Zorin OS 18 installed.
The new version of Zorin OS looks pretty nice. Just gave it a spin on a bootable USB. Might be replacing Mint this weekend.
I’ve read so many biographies about Tupac. Time to add another one to my list with Only God Can Judge Me.
Crafty people are no joke. Whenever I drive by Michael’s right before they’re about to open, there’s always people waiting.
I have all sharing of info disabled in Docker Desktop but a recent update isn’t respecting it. The top 2 blocked domains on my network by requests are from Docker.
I didn’t think it was possible, but the TV app is even worse at updating Sports in TV OS 26 than it was previously.
I wish Forza was available on the Switch 2.
