I love how every community has their 'thing' that is sought after. Looking up chalk leads down a very narrow rabbit hole. Some say that Hagoromo sold two of their compression molds to Sejong Corp (who also took the name), while th

I'm just saying that for people who have no issues with piracy, the provider has an even more difficult time winning their business. For companies like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc, it should be in their best interest to be available on

its more likely that they already have a piracy workflow and the inconvenience isn't enough to disrupt that workflow, unlike their experience with Netflix / Plex with the Chromecast.

A while ago there was a 65% 'Southpaw' keyboard on reddit -- https://www.reddit.com/comments/75djfk There are others if you do a search for left-handed keyboards.

I went TKL a few years back and have the same feelings as you. I also switched to a Magic Trackpad 2 -- which has been somewhat life changing (to some extent.) It took about a week or so to get comfortable with, and I haven't gone craz

fb2k is the best. By fluke I stumbled upon it when it first launched, and I've never looked back. Rockbox is one of those things that is perfect once you live with it for a while. I've been using it since the iPod Video came out (

I started using Chunk a few months ago. I'd been using i3 for a few years and loved it, but my main OS is macOS. I mapped my caps as HYPER (like most), but I really wish MacOS had a method to acquire a true native SUPER key. I'm c

I used to use iPod Manager [1]. When you add songs, do it from the original firmware. With the iFlash and all that, transferring files while loaded into Rockbox will cause the issue you mentioned... a lesson I learned after transferring abo

It depends on the version, but you can really trick out iPods. I've got an iPod Video (5.5) with an iFlash Quad [1] (up to 4x micro SD cards) with a 2000mAh battery, running Rockbox [2] I also replaced the rear panel since I didn'

I depends what your interests are, but there's almost always a channel on one of many IRC networks for any topic. Channels might not always be huge, but a lot of subjects have 30+ people. Non-/r/All subs on reddit can also be

Like others have said, once you install the Mr Chromebox stuff, you can technically run any flavor of linux you like. The major issue you'll run into is support for wifi, the proper keyboard layout and audio. The GalliumOS team has bui

it sounds exhausting. Titus Welliver has started performing the Harry Bosch novels from Michael Connelly. The first half of his first performance was pretty rough and sounded like an in-store reading. Over the course of that book and the fi

TheLounge is very very limited. I will always prefer weechat to everything, but if you want a webUI, glowing bear is alright. Like you, I've been on IRC since the 90s. I find that support channels are great if your question to the grou

I loved this film. Its quirky and scattered in all of the right ways. I really admire Gilliam's persistence over the years -- and I'm thankful that he was willing to allow not one, but two documentaries to be filmed about the stru

I was on Mubi for a while and really liked the 'one in, one out' system. I typically watched the movies that were about two days out, regardless of my interest. As a result I watched a lot of movies I never would had known about.
