I’m in the southeast US and only have single-pane windows on my house. Of course, my house was built in 1990, so it’s probably more about the house’s age.

My favorite Discworld book is his last, The Shepherd’s Crown. After doing the whole library, I felt it ending well. Then you read the afterword by Rob Wilkins… you get all the feels.

Re-reading the original Ringworld series by Larry Niven so that I can read the newer Fleet of World series. Currently on Ringworld Throne.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir is also an amazing book if you haven’t read it yet.

One more suggestion: Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke

Lemmy Native - but only out of ignorance. Gunna start looking at these now.

Smashing Security Podcast is a great one, too. Less technical, more fun. Plus, they’re on Mastodon: @smashingsecurity@mastodon.green

I’ve been running Plex for years (maybe a decade or more). Yes, there are a bunch of mainstream-ish features that I don’t use. It’s still simple for everyone in my family (including older parents) to navigate and use. I use it for movies, TV, and it runs a photo screen saver with family pics.

Look like the link is broken. I get what I think is a 404 message in Russian.
