Myst, I wanted to write books that linked to worlds. Figured the closest thing was programming.

Civilization 1, patients, economics, frustration.

Doom, was just a shit ton of fun and got me into networking so we could play against each other.

Honestly, Debian 12 bookworm with the KDE package is pretty damn solid. It’s all I need for my desktops.

I was raised Mormon. Finally left in my 40s.

God I hate discord.

Ubiquiti unifi g4 doorbell works great for me with home assistant. But it’s a bit of an upgrade as you would need all the supporting hardware as well.

Lemmiversary?

They have a browser plug-in. I use it on Firefox on my desktop and on my Android phone. My uses it on Chrome on both as well.

I started using Kagi. Yeah, I have to pay for it. But we’re paying for Google too, kagi is just more honest about how.
