Not OP but the ascii art generator on your site is broken when selecting to generate from text. All the font style options except Standard, produce unexpected output. Using Block font for example, with ASCII as the input: https:/&#x2F

Same here, joined up when GPM was in beta. Still on the $7.99/month. I really only use it for YTM, so if they ever up my price, I'll cancel and use Tidal or Deezer.

This is my sole reason for sticking with smart TVs or a streaming device. How is anyone getting proper 1080p+ streams from Netflix using a Linux device? 4K is not necessary, but 1080p at least it's what I need. Not even considering pro

One suggestion (feel free to ignore) is to hide the vote counts until after a choice is selected, just to prevent some sort of bias. But again it's your site, thanks for the fun!

In case anyone finds this, I received a DMCA notice from the publisher of The Far Side this morning, and out of respect for Gary Larsen, I'll removed the scraper and RSS feed.

I'll be curious how you'll do this, having a daily Far Side like the daily paper calendar is a good idea. The only possible issue with my RSS feed is that I lump all the daily comics into one entry. So you could get 2-5 images per

This looks great, I'll have to check it out. I remember with the Far Side website I had to use Selenium for the browser because of some JavaScript on the page vs using something like BeautifulSoup. Does yours handle that?

Been meaning to post this but if you're interested, I set up a RSS feed for the daily Far Side comic[0]. It's a simple scraper that runs daily on GitHub actions and creates an entry for the 2-5 comics and captions of the day. Sour

Probably discussed elsewhere but you can do this if you jailbreak your Kindle, and either install one of the screensaver hacks or install KOReader and set the last page as your screensaver. A good guide to get started is at https:/&#x
