What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Talking about Stephen King, Misery is a great movie.

I never really watched any horror movies until this October we binge watched almost 40 movies from that genre.

I agree, some of the absolute greatest films are from that genre, and you can find very interesting stuff from there if you dig a bit.

I’m now kind of mad at how I didn’t find Evil Dead earlier in my life. Or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre…

I use podman on NixOS. It’s cool, but be warned there are subtle and less subtle differences.

It is just me wanting to filter 🍎 completely from the instance, so all mentions to 🍎 products get redacted. That is kind of an insider joke due to that company being so prevalent in internet forums such as HN or Reddit. At least in my own instance all mentions of removed are hidden.

A spare computer (e.g. a rpi), tailscale (free) and a bit of time to set up.

I used both of them for a long time. Plex(amp) for music because it just works for streaming my collection everywhere I go and has a good UI. My own personal Spotify… And Jellyfin for everything else.

Now I built a new homelab server with a beefier AMD and proxmox, and decided to just switch to Plex for all my content. It has a better UI to my taste at least, but it also has these weird glitches sometimes where the video playback stutters if watching 4k material (where Jellyfin just worked).

I don’t know really. For music Plex is definitely worth the subscription price, but these weird playback issues put me to consider alternatives for video content.

Been using sway for years now. Not even thinking about it, it doesn’t jump to my face and works the same and never changes. Just what I need so I can focus on my work.

Yeah. All of the tools have been there for years. The German health insurance pays for the pumps and sensors, but there hasn’t been manufacturers opening up their Bluetooth protocols and allowing to connect with non-authorized devices, except for the past few years. Manufacturers, such as the Korean Dana Diabecare, or the American Dexcom are pretty relaxed with 3rd party apps. If you get the right hardware, you can definitely make your life much easier as a diabetic.

AndroidAPS is an artificial pancreas. They are not legal yet, or there are a few commercial ones with inferior features compared to this software and which are very expensive. The software reads your glucose from your upper arm using a sensor, and either gives you insulin or stops the delivery based on the estimate.

It connects to many different glucose sensors and pumps, provides a common interface and algorithms for them.

It is the research platform for commercial software to come. It is extremely helpful for Type 1 diabetics. Because it does not have approval as a medical software you cannot distribute binaries. You can legally compile it from sources, which is why it is for Android where you can easily sideload apps compared to the competing platforms.

xDrip is a tool that connects many different glucose sensors and gives you real time info about your levels. It enables continuous measurements with systems such as Freestyle Libre, which was only working with NFC officially.

The open source diabetes scene is quite popular in Germany. It has made our lives with T1 much easier.

Such a good song still. If I would be that engineer who destroyed the original… Damn what a thing to carry.

Is there any high quality versions of The Second Arrangement available? I thought they gave up on that.

The Wire and The Bear are so easy to rewatch and kind of similar…

What is still missing from these replies: Hannibal was almost better than The Silence of the Lambs. And Mads Mikkelsen might’ve been a better Hannibal than Hopkins…

All of these are so good. And of course the Adventure Time including the new gender bender spinoff.

Zinc just when it starts. These candies you let to dissolve in your mouth. One every two hours when the first symptoms start and if lucky, the next day the symptoms are gone.

In US they sell them with the brand name Cold-Eeze, and similar products are available in some EU countries but not in all of them.

Oh, and a lot of tea.

Not yet. The next two movies are going to be Evil Dead and It Follows, maybe after?

pimeys,
@pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io avatar

Evil Dead was amazing. Very nicely done for the low budget. Watching the two others and maybe the recent TV series too after this.

The Ring is waiting in the queue.

I need to rewatch it soon. One of the best animated series of the modern times, right next to Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Dead End, Close Enough, Amphibia, BoJack, Infinity Train, Kipo, Vox Machina, Smiling Friends and YOLO.

What a time to be alive… When I was a kiddo, the best stuff came from Japan, and now the Americans are really nailing it.

Mine too. Luckily we got Fionna and Cake last month. That one is really good too.

Not a movie, but The Owl House was quite gay…

CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )...

You can support by joining the project and helping them to fix issues. It’s a young project, but they’ve been progressing really fast. Andreas Kling is one of the original developers of Safari, and in the past years he’s been creating his own operating system (Serenity OS) and formed a team who’ve been doing their own JavaScript engine, web browser and a programming language together with the OS. It’s a really fascinating story and I give all the respect for them for doing this. This is the work we have to do if we want to beat Google from taking the internet. It’s us who need to step up and start fixing the internet.

How could I forget these

  • Hayao Miyazaki: Kiki’s Delivery Service - the perfect movie for a sick day. A guaranteed good mood after.
  • Hayao Miyazaki: My Neighbor Totoro - the kids are some of the best kid characters in any movie ever.
  • Hayao Miyazaki: Spirited Away - cold shiver moments like the train on top of the flooding water.
  • Hayao Miyazaki: Princess Mononoke - how we can finally maybe agree even when we disagree.
