I visit both hourly, and spend the vast majority of my time reading books on those two sites.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I just enabled it, and it’s working flawlessly.

Software and video games. I just haven’t had a need, and I like supporting creators. Only reason I’d download books, music or movies is because I absolutely abhor subscription payments and would rather have access to those things permanently. At least with software you can just find a free alternative.

Sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing!

You’re welcome! It’s one of my favorite genres, so I happened to have a pretty big list on hand. I’m glad I could help.

There are plenty of stories like that, though? Thousands, probably. It’s a really popular genre. Granted, it’s usually people being reincarnated into fantasy worlds and such, so that might not be your cup of tea. Still, there’s always exceptions in any genre.

Some of my favorite fanfic ones are:

• Sublight Drive (Star Wars)
• Mass Effect: Jenkins Edition
• Borne of Caution
• The Many Lives Of Cadence Lee
• A Nerubuans Journey
• Orochitama
• Star Wars: A Penumbral Path

And some original works, too:

• Blue Core
• Burning Stars, Falling Skies
• God of Eyes
• His Magestys Immortal Academy
• In Loki’s Honor
• Molting the Mortal Coil
• Queen in the Mud
• The Snake Report
• The Simulacrum

These are just the ones that I found scrolling through my favorites list. There’s a lot more of these out there if you go looking.

Look into cloudflare tunnels or tailscale funnel. Both let the wider public access a private server without port forwarding. If you want it private only, normal tailscale does that too, you might have some trouble if you want to use a custom domain though, since it’s private.

I got sick of windows being an abusive pain in the ass.

That works, thanks!

Huh, that’s a pretty good description. I’ve never heard the term before, so I’ll need to do some more research before I know if it fits. But even if it’s a dead end, that’s an interesting enough topic that it’s worth delving into anyway.

Yup, that’s it exactly.

Yup. Don’t care how heavy or ugly it is either. I’d probably buy the apple headset thing if it was cheaper, ran Linux, and wasn’t made by Apple. Can’t wait for the technology to come down in price.

Portable web browser to read books on. That’s all I use mine for, except for the occasional text message / phone call. I got by fine for a long while with just my laptop, but reading on my phone is just a lot more convenient in a lot of cases. Like when you’re walking, or running, or standing, or laying down. It’s a pain in the ass to read from a laptop while walking, I’ve almost dropped the poor thing too many times to count.

Thank you! I’ll give it a try then.

Been using proton vpn for a few years now, works great. They made a better Linux client recently too, so it’s just been smooth sailing from the get go for me.

Yah, I don’t know what’s different since I’m also on android 13, but it won’t let me install it.

Not supported on newer android versions, so cool idea but I’ll need to find some other app to do that.

Stores buy specifically tailored perfume to encourage people to buy in demand products, it’s not even a secret or anything it’s s common practice. Some smaller stores do the same but with music playlists.

Another common one I’ve seen is adverts, which are exactly that and so common that lots of people don’t even notice them anymore.

Then of course there’s the simpler things, like the design of a website. Well designed websites make the difference between a customer and a passer-by.

Discord. It takes like 12 seconds to start each time I launch it. Of course it’s plenty fast after that, so I guess it’s just the startup time that’s slow.

Sorry, I don’t remember. I was like 8 or something, so my memory of the event isn’t exactly clear. I think it had mushrooms and tomatoe chunks though, since I hated those during that age range, so it would make sense why I would react so strongly to it.
