I viewed the recent activity in my account. I did not receive any notifications of failed logins in the last 8 weeks its been going on. I assume because I use 2FA and the password is just wrong it doesn't bother cause of the frequency it happens.

I never liked Adams. He always seemed like he was up to something.

Wait till they hear about GWAR.

I’m convinced we live in a timeline where the Illuminati is run by clowns and they are giving us the most absurd storylines for season 2024 of Earth AD.

I’ve been using Mlem since week 2 and I have no idea if I’m missing anything or not. I’ve never visited any instance on anything but Mlem.

“We’re not gonna reach it in time. Guess we’ll just die.”

I have Sonos and it is meh. They just issued an apology in the app for how bad their app got, so I can’t really recommend it.

I keep seeing good reviews about Audio Pro. I don’t know too much about them, but they seem to have the same idea of multi-room audio.

Self hosting is the big caveat. There’s a lot of great software options, but the hardware can get to be a bit limiting if you don’t wanna play with common protocols like AirPlay or Chromecast.

Additionally, you could do a Denon or Marantz receiver or Soundbar with multi zone and cover at least 2 spaces wired and add wireless zones via their Heos protocol.

There’s also HomePod, Alexa, or even Bluetooth speakers like the UE Boom or JBL series that you can daisy chain Bluetooth speakers together. No real soundbar solution with this option. Ironically JBL Soundbars don’t communicate with their Bluetoo speakers.

Audio Engine makes some fine speakers that support WiFi or Bluetooth and all they need is power.

Kef has the incredible but pricey LS series of bookshelf and tower speakers. They are independently powered and support all kinds of wireless protocols including AirPlay.

There are a ton of audio solutions nowadays but a lot of them will still require either a wire somewhere or playing with standardized protocols.

I too wish there were a more “self hosted” options. It seems like sooner or later some more viable options will come to light though.

I legit thought it was Steve-O

Ahhh, it’s good to be da king.

I remember when Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia came out. Hybrid Stigmata changed me forever. That was the extreme metal song that “clicked” for me finally and I quickly began my spiral into the metal darkness.

Forums felt like a real community. Even crummy little forums like my home forum Supercars.net were teeming with life.

Discovering websites that had highly specific purposes.

Going down the rabbit hole of knowledge of a niche topic on websites alone. Now Wikipedia has most of the information about something in one page. Because information could be so fragmented then, you could spend hours just learning about a topic through people’s personal websites and forum posts.

The old internet still felt very hobbled together by people and their simple efforts. The new internet feels very big corporate. Lemmy kinda feels like a slice of the old internet sometimes.

Marshmallows on regular pizza. Salty and sweet is so nice.
