@kilroy_was_here @killyourfm I like using Tauon (which I assume you've tried) but I have it pointed at a Navidrome library that's like a fifth the size of yours, and it does just blatantly treat everything as a playlist.

That Steam Controller looks weird as hell. I'll take five, please.

@ben It looks stylishly minimal too! Depending on how heavy this latest mastodon update gets on storage space, I might look into making that leap too.

@robb Any initial thoughts on Pluribus so far?
I'm planning to check it out tonight at some point.

Really loving the "new replies found" check that got added in Mastodon 4.5.0, especially with how isolated my single-user instance can be at times.

@mattround They didn't heckle me for three attempts in a row, so I'm taking that as a success.

Do they actually thank you if you succeed?

@padraig Those instances usually run the mastodon nightly images, so I'm thinking impatient/brave instances could probably get the feature at the same time if they made that leap (and decent backups)

...unless "available later on for everyone else" implies it's a specific PR that hasn't merged yet?

I bought Hollow Knight: Silksong on day one, but I'm still only halfway through the first one so I haven't touched it yet.

I type replies to plenty of things I see online, and then right before I post it, I think "wait, why am I bothering to engage with this?" and just scrap it and move on.

I kinda like it in a way, I get to dump any lingering thoughts on the topic.

@flwwhtrbt The lack of Blastoise has ruined my day.

Awesome artwork though!

Currently watching AEW Collision before #ForbiddenDoor, why are all the War Dogs trying to put on the same gruff voice in this promo? 😆

I finally requested my data from Spotify and YouTube Music, and fed the archives into some awesome projects I stumbled across:

- Scotty (https://git.sr.ht/~phw/scotty)
- YTM-Extractor (https://github.com/defvs/ytm-extractor)

In the end I added 34k~ historical listens to my ListenBrainz profile... think it's gonna spice up my Weekly Jams and Weekly Exploration playlists going forward 🥳

@robb

@robb now I need to find out what Electric Pepsi tastes like ⚡

Checked out the first 3 episodes of the new King of the Hill season. It seems alright so far, but tbh I lowered my expectations quite a bit after seeing Hulu's attempt at a Futurama revival.

#TV #KingOfTheHill

@flwwhtrbt Cool, I'll be sure to check it out!

As an aside, did you see any of latest minor drama around DuckStation? The dev is threatening to drop linux support outright because (my interpretation here) he keeps getting issue reports from users of an Arch AUR packaged version...

Playing #WheelWorld and loving it, but it completely stopped rendering 3D stuff during one of the cutscenes on me...

It does the same if you Alt+Tab, so I have figured out changing a graphics setting and changing it back fixes it as a workaround, but during cutscenes you can't open settings...

The main delay was that I decided to move all my other self-hosted stuff around too.

Previously everything was just kinda thrown at Portainer, and then I'd cross my fingers and run watchtower to update stuff.

Now I've got everything siloed into per-machine Gitea repos, and Renovate set up to monitor for updates. Webhooks are fired off to roll out any changes as they happen and redeploy stacks via Komodo.

It's really nice.
Now I can ignore things again for a while.

It took me a while, but I've finally updated to mastodon 4.4.1, it's tidy!

@padraig That's a cool idea, reminds me of Unixstickers back in the day.

Kinda wish they showed all the stickers that were in each bundle though.
