Small upgrade for my @jellyfin server. Used 2013 server drive, $35. Good score on CristalDiscMark.

[Personal Life ~] My wonderful girlfriend of 12 years and I have decided to go separate ways. We'll always love each other, but we just have different paths now. I was so lucky to know her.

Just a reminder, the reason you don't see White Nationalist and ICE at the same time is the same reason you don't see Batman and Bruce Wayne at the same time. #fuckice

I'm the Computer Man.

Both February and March this year have a Friday the 13th.

Oh no! Not the #metaverse shutting down. WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?!

So far two weeks in with #grapheneos and my phone has never been more awesome. Running the main OS without any Play Services and have all the Google stuff inside of the container that shuts down when I lock my phone. So far I've only had one application, a bank app that does not want to install […]

Who made this mess in my downloads folder?

I used to snap pictures of decaying phone booths, but I don't really see those any more. Redbox machines might have to be my new favorite urban relic of a time-gone-by. Like tears in the rain.

My legal name is Arthur Reeder. There's an AI platform called artbreeder. To bad my middle name doesn't start with a B.

My submission for #musicfriday is Pink Pony Club performed by #gwar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5XR48KLE8I

Just saw a commercial for Chic-Fil-A and everyone was dancing. I thought that way against their religion?

My journey so far with @GrapheneOS has been awesome. Having a main system #degoogled but able to grab access to the few proprietary apps I use is awesome. Sadly the Transit app I rely on REQUIRES the play store.

If you can read this, clean your phone.

Teaching my girlfriend how to download torrents tonight. 😁

I've spent a lot of money on tablets, surface laptops, and stylus pens. I've done more drawing on a cheap USB HUION Inspiroy H610X tablet than I ever did on my Samsung Ultra Tablet. There's probably a lesson to be learned here or something.

Good news: My Chinese brand Redmi earbuds work without Google Play services. Bad News: Because of the trade war, I have to side load it, and claim I live in Canada to install it.

I've successfully installed #grapheneos on my Google Pixel 9 XL. All the Google Play stuff that I need is tucked away in a little private container and only thing on my main phone are free and open source applications.

Microsoft: You can only use newer hardware on Windows 11 Linux Users: Go off, King AI Companies: All new RAM will be more expensive! Linux Users: **buys used hardware** Have fun with that

My office we use Discord for video calls. Less than ideal, but it was championed by my teammates who use it for gaming. Today we couldn't get video calls working, so I dropped in a #jitsi link. Thank goodness for Jitsi.

I think the most shocking and telling part is how transparent the whole invasion is. No "weapons of mass destruction" or anything. Just a strait up "We want the oil". Like thugs robbing a liquor store.

Went to an arcade tonight that actually has pinball and vintage arcade games.

I saw #wargasm in Anaheim last year, and they put on one hell of a show. I don't seem them coming back to the US any time soon, and I can't blame them. #metal #fucker #🤘 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8q4FvQSOTY

It's still 2025 for me. Lame.

California is one of the last places to enter 2026. Y'all tell me how the future is, right?

Linux is neato.

"You'll never work harder than when you cut corners" I say to myself as I attach cable management on the bottom of my desk without clearing it off first.

My Mom painted the room that is now my office a color we affectionately call Pepto Pink. Tonight I bought the paint to bring the color temperature down a bit.

Los Angeles has food deserts too. Probaly every big city has at least one. Could we set up a few of public grocery stores too? These only serve areas without other options. https://civileats.com/2025/08/20/op-ed-public-grocery-stores-already-exist-and-work-well-we-need-more/

I can't drink Eggnog cause it messes me up. Almondnog however is delightful.

Animated #avif for the Modern Web https://arthur.pizza/2025/12/animated-avif-for-the-modern-web/

I've been meaning to learn #freecad, but making parts in #blender3d has proven to be a really good solution.

I'm absolutely in love with #jellyfin. It's got a few little bugs, but definitely less buggy than some commercial apps. I mean Peacock and HBOMax are a hot mess, let's be real. I'm done paying these fools and I'll acquire my content other ways. I still need to find someone to install my roof […]

Angel Studios: Unlike those heathens over at Disney, we're gonna make family friendly stuff that focuses on traditional Christian family values and American Exceptionalism. Also Angel Studios: Anyways, here's an anti-capitalist, pro socialist movie with a queer cast. I'm starting to think that […]

I rode my bike today.

#nvidia #nouveau drivers might be slower than the proprietary drivers, but at this point I just don't care. Put my Nvidia 3060 in my new server. I'll do my machine learning shit there, I'm just tired of all the tomfoolery of dealing with it on my desktop. Traded up for a 2060 via Nouveau on my […]

Weird thing to read. As of next month my I've canceled my health insurance as it's more than $600 for just me on the lowest plan. > Trump Grades Economy ‘A+++++’ as Americans Skip Medical Care and Struggle to Afford Essentials […]

It's stuck in my head, so now it'll be stuck in yours. #bokoyout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY6YQFwGYAU

Does this mean the #fediverse and #mastodon are main steam yet? #snl

There are a lot of bees at the recycling center. They're hunting for sugary soda liquid. This morning we took all the bottles and cans to the yard ($100 worth) and spent time with the bees. 🐝

FACT: The "Aqua Teen Rap" by Schoolly D is the greatest TV theme song ever created. This is not an opinion, this is a certified fact. Runner-up is the Unsolved Mysteries theme.

I listen to most of my music locally, via #tauon I have a #tidal account I use at the gym a lot. Trying to figure out how to get my #librefm to see my Tidal streams. https://tauonmusicbox.rocks

It's Friday. That means I wake up early and have cheap breakfast with my sister. 🍔🍟🍕🌭

My sisters parrot walked across the kitchen and tugged at my sock because she wanted a cheeto.

A lot of what #vpn companies try to sell you is snakeoil. It's not magic, it's simple traffic rerouting.

Was looking forward to a long relaxing bike ride over to the girlfriend's house. Turns out I'm too late to do that. Lyft ride it is. It's faster but a LOT less fun.

I had no idea there was a #jellyfin Server via #Flatpak. This makes it so easy. Literally set up a server in seconds.

Cheap Android tablets + microsd card + FTP server software. Congratulations, you now have a Wi-Fi NAS with a built in battery. Add Tailscale to it, now you have a remote NAS. Is it reliable? No. Does it work? Yes.
