#mnstrong #iceout

#FUCKICE #GTFO

hmm.. so i thought about capturing a ton of livetv here in 2025 and putting it on youtube. could be fun to have in 5-10 years. ok, my plan is to capture 24 hours of our local nbc and fox channels. ;)

been a while since i posted. hmm.. new things? well.. -IPTV working great w/Dispatcharr now -Jellyfin server fully configured and running parallel w/plex in case i need to switch over -PSVR2 added to my geek gaming collection things on the list? -scanning in tons of old family photos -redo HA?

so.. hmm.. cancelled directv service recently and had a $75 credit on my account (i always paid ahead) and i got my money back via this pre-paid debit card. read fine print, $3/month card fee after 6 months. WTF? i bet directv gets a percentage of that. also this website serves many other companies

Hotfix 6.05.1 for No Man's Sky is releasing now 🙏 www.nomanssky.com/2025/09/voya...

well.. finally am gonna do some YT livestream desktop stuff.. #OBS basic yt/webcam setup finally done (and also finally figured out basics of obs too) ps5 pro streaming still gonna be the basic ps5 stream, but we'll see. remoteplay w/obs doesn't sound the best though.

my @nomansbsky.bsky.social 'shrine' at the condo. #NoMansSky pre-order ship, poster, Atlas Pass Level 4 from ARG, a few #NMSGalacticHub pins. Will be adding the two plushies from #youtooz in Dec! 👨🏼‍🚀

man.. #Plex fucked up big time.. again.. and keeps on.. so companies.. ever heard of listening to your users? i hear you can be very successful if you do and can fail pretty fast when you don't. ask #Sonos how their app change went? #enshitification to the max..

yup... the #Playstation #Vita is still the best portable console imo. Why? it can play nearly every system up to the psone, has an oled, can play back movies, music and even stream #jellyfin. ;) got a little vid showcasing my vita setup coming soon. :)

btw.. #Apple's iPhone 17 Air is still only as thin as its thickest parts. so yea, not that thin really. that camera bump.. jeez.. wtf... original iphone vs surface duo (thickness of Duo = size of usb-c port), surface duo is still thinner when opened vs any phone atm.

"... Loading Fun ..." just sloppy, quick reel i made of my @nomansbsky.bsky.social voyagers play sessions. shoutout to my awesome neighbors in #Nomanssky and #NMSGalacticHUB for the fun these last few weeks! also i am not a video editor (as can be seen by video hehe) www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgF_...

went #oldschool and am rocking a bumper case on the #iphone13mini and man.. that blue color is so dang good. #apple needs to bring back the bright colors for phones, sick of the muted, 'prof' colors. blew!! make phones fun again!!

gotta say the new parallax feature latest #ipados 26 beta is pretty slick. works well on my ipad mini 7!

ahh.. every once in a while i reflect upon my use of #GoogleGlass and how i wish #google would have really supported it. was so far ahead of anything and still feels like it. some examples of the gui in action.

omg.. #NoMansSky #Voyagers v6.00 update is so epic... a clip from the #NMSGalacticHUB's #corvette party/event. 12-16 corvettes i believe. youtube.com/clip/UgkxMxX...

whoa!! #NoMansSky hit over 93K concurrent players on #Steam today!!! man, that #Voyagers update is fire indeed!!! been loving it!! btw, if you were wondering what that other space games numbers were today.. 7K..

so... #NoMansSky v6.00 #Voyager is out and we can build our own Corvette ships and walk around them too!! OMG OMG! so what did i make for my first ship? my flying brick 😂

ah man.. i'm just fucking balling my eyes right now.. watching that #TheUnexpectedJourney and man.. i miss you mom and so much love to all the #caregivers out there. ITS SO FUCKING HARD.. but the thing they don't talk about is the after they pass.. what becomes of us.. where do we go now?

dudes! what is going on w/#youtube and its algorithm lately? one of my old wii, news channel vids from 18 years ago has been randomly showing up in people's recommendations. nothing huge but i got more views last week than in prev 17 yrs. haha!! #wtf?!? 😂

still the best #MINICooper interior yet. 2018-2024 era of #MINIs. the new ones? eff them, i've driven 4 of them now as loaners and hate that oled and lack of toggles. and that rear end design? #FUGLY!!! here's my 2020 F60 #JCW interior... yea, toggles for everything as it should be!

apple watch #oxygensensor active on latest #ios26 beta dev 7 and public releases! nice!

so, these last 6 months i've been recovering, re-evaluating my life after the caregiving journey. one thing i realized that my kitchen does not match my cooking, eating style. decided to change that; hopefully should have it all done by end of aug (no construction/remodeling) cont.

holy crap!! my stove is.. 14 years old!!! and my frig is.. 14 years old and washer and dryer are.. 14 years old.. yup, my condo is 14 years old. hehe. working on my little kitchen revamp plan. removing stove, replacing w/hotplates, airfryer, more counter space. :)

well.. got my #jellyfin setup back up and going again. figure its good to have two solutions ready in case the other has issues or continues its enshitification (i'm lookin at you #Plex, your appletv client is utter crap!! roku client works perfectly, wtf?)

well.. i think its time for this super old school #HTPC geek to get #OTA tv and DVR working on my plex setup. Downfall is i need to use a second server since plex supports only a single xml epg provider. prob gonna get an older HDHomeRun tuner, condo is hooking up antennas on top in sept! :)

#NoMansSky throwback, my pre-launch geekcast on "Why i'm so excited for No Man's Sky!".. what i wanted then is exactly what we have now!! wow!! @nomansbsky.bsky.social thanks again for making and sticking w/#NMS!!! youtu.be/28rVjmIkYE8

i admit it, my mbp hasn't been used as a laptop since the first month i got it. mainly just sits connected to dock. def is an amazing desktop computer! plus, i got an ipadmini7 w/kb and touchpad case for my couch needs. however its nice being able to take it anywhere at a moments notice!

i love how my photos i've taken throughout the years look on my #applewatch and the photos watchface. for a while i was using tons of modular ones and even making my own via facer.io but in the end the Photos watch face is really the best. some examples.

🤓 #KPOPDemonHunters Derpy and Sus t-shirt arrived! def plan to wear out this weekend to see if i find any other fans in the wild

this week's #geek todo list: migrate #plex server from #win10 setup to #win11 setup (ugghh, doing it due to support). thankfully have a win11 manual debloated setup already running on 2nd partition). who likes checklists? this geek here! so glad i migrated my homeassistant and homebridge into vms.

updates to the island baker, now named: Seamonkey's Sweets. come and drop by, glyphs are on one of the screenshots. ;) #NoMansSky #nms #spacebaking

yup, def am a fan of that ExtraDock app. currently am testing v3 w/a ton of fixes and updates. looking great so far!! all of my suggestions were implemented!! cool!!

man, had a great happy hour last night w/some of my old pals, prev co-workers. sadly two go let go from job. but.. they both had new jobs already!! Networking is key in IT if you are looking for a new job. and it also helps to be a rockstar in what you do. good to see the boys doing really good!!

guess what i'm gonna do this week? PAYING OFF MY CONDO!!!! plan to send my last payment this wed. went from a 30 year mortgage to a 19 year refinanced at 2.5% to fully paying off in less than 15 years. and in turn my monthly living expenses will drop to below $850. def pays to be frugal at times!

yup. so awesome seeing #KpopDemonHunters getting all the attention and love!! amazing movie and music!! also love #Derpy!! got me a tshirt coming this week!!

wow!! super impressed with #DirecTV and cancellation dept. condo is getting rid of satellite so i had to call to cancel. super nice guy, didn't push retention. i will def give them a 2nd chance later this year if my homemade dvr doesn't work out. gotta love being one's own provider 😉🤓 #selfhost

well.. last night at 4am.. i migrated my #homeassistant and #homebridge back to windows and hyper-v.. man, my wyze camera was keeping my nas cpu at around 50%. figured my core i5 12th gen cpu should have NO ISSUES w/HA or HB constantly running. migrated over, imported back up. like i never migrated

my desktop setup from 20 years ago.. can't believe i had a Hyundai monitor.. yes, HYUNDAI!! hahah!! but hey, triple monitor in 2005? yea, the geek is strong in me. hehe #retrotech #retrocomputing

got another cool #airpods pro 2 case from aliexpress. this time its a pager!! love it! now which one do i use? the radio or pager? this week its gonna be the pager case

made a few memorials for mom and dad and other fallen travelers in this world on my freighter. @nomansbsky.bsky.social #nomanssky has been my therapy the last five years when i was caregiving and now after my shift has ended. the music, graphics, art style and chillness is so soothing 🥰

man. ipados26 beta for ipadmini 7 works pretty dang well! love having windowed apps!! makes it feel like a little macbook w/my case. however tap to drag not working as it should, feedback sent.

yea. i'm amazed my little brother ads-1500w scanner still works! its over 12 years old and still can scan wirelessly to my nas or macbook. not bad!

man.. the more i read about #AI the more and more #existential dredd i get.. like, i don't think most realize how fast this is gonna hit and what it could do to the world and humanity. like.. end of world type of stuff.. and in a 5-10year timeframe (being generous) at current pace. yikes... cont.

well.. hmm. #BTC is doing some moving today and last week again. i always laugh at those who regret not buying btc when its dropping, then FOMO buy in now, then FUD sell on a loss after it drops a mere $10K.. $10K price movements with BTC? a typical week in crypto 😂 fun to watch from sideline

time to finally make use of all of my drone footage from the last decade, adding to music remixes i've downloaded! haven't really used imovie on the m1 max yet so curious to see how this export will go (4hour video). now to find the clips!! oof!!

sure is crazy to think that the movie #TheMatrix holds up even better now than upon release. we are nearing the matrix timeline's AI moment. yea, for all we know.. perhaps we have already lost to AI and are just remnants of humanity. oof, thats grim. ;) but even so, NOW still matters. the moments

just some #apple facts. my apple facts book from aug 1997. yea, #macbooks def have gotten a bit better from the PowerBook 1400cs and its super fast 133mhz cpu!! hehe.. sure glad i keep random tech things for the long term! hmm, what else do i have i wonder? #retrotech #retroapple
