1 month agoAwesome improvements! Really nice work. I’ll definitely be switching at some point when I have a reason to mess with it. Thanks for all the extra work you’ve done to improve the fork and gift the project to the commons.

I used a similar project called Ansible NAS a while back and it’s been working beautifully. I had a problem and had to reinstall the OS on my NAS at some point and this made it a breeze. That project requires Ubuntu and I prefer Debian so I may try this out next time.
I’ve been using Brave browser just for YouTube and it avoids ads
No POSIX compliance no award!

2·4 months agoAre there any better options for keyboard trackpad combo than the Logitech k400 yet?
2·4 months agoIt was on my wishlist already too, but I do remember seeing it a while back and being intrigued.
This was a fun rabbit hole to go down! I tend to agree with most of the takes here on Lemmy but the complete AI derision is pretty wild and unfounded in reality. I have plenty of concerns about the tech but to say it’s useless you’d have to really not even have tried it out to see for yourself. I appreciate your patience, dedication to the truth, willingness to explain, and experimental attitude here.
Nice grill! Is that a kamado? What kind?
I played Medievia for most of the 90s. I had so much fun! It’s wild the breadth and depth that MUDs have thanks to not having graphics. MMOs can’t hold a candle to them, It’s like writing a novel vs producing a movie.
Great advice. There’s a book called The Practice of Embodying Emotions with tons of science backing up the basic advice of: let emotions take up as much of your body as you can, which helps them process and release faster.

1·6 months agoI’ve had it for years, since it came out, and only managed to sink a few hours into it. I recently fired it up again, thanks for the recommendation!
Love to hear it! I read and reread Feist’s whole series as a kid, I remember always being so excited when a new book came out. I cut my teeth learning to read novels on Magician in 3rd grade!
You’ll be interested to learn that Feist didn’t write anything for the game, he just licensed the world and the characters. Neal Hallford wrote the story and dialogue which were brilliant, and Feist later adapted the story into a novel.
I just replayed QfG 1-3 last week on a family vacation and the magic is still strong. Something about these games ignite mythic perspectives in me that nothing else seems to.
Quest for Glory series! Betrayal at Krondor
If you eat this daily it’s definitely worth it! Just soak the beans overnight, drain them, and rinse them daily until they’re the right size, 5-6 days.
Loved Shining Force since I watched my brother and his friend play all night after renting it from Blockbuster in the early 90s! I’ve played 1 and 2 a few times over the years and always had fun.
6·7 months agoYes! I also can’t stand the feeling of dry hands/feet, getting them dusty, or lettuce rubbing against lettuce 🙀
Crucial Conversations — Summary
A crucial conversation is any conversation where
The book teaches how to stay effective, curious, and collaborative even when it’s hard.
Before opening your mouth, check your intent.
Ask yourself three grounding questions:
This interrupts reactive fight-flight patterns and restores internal alignment.
Crucial conversations become unsafe when people sense judgment, coercion, or disrespect.
Detect early signs:
The moment safety drops, the conversation stops mattering—only self-protection matters.
You restore safety through two tools:
i. Mutual Purpose — “We’re in this together.”
Show that you care about their goals and outcomes.
If purposes differ, create a shared purpose by inventing options acceptable to both sides.
ii. Mutual Respect — “I value you as a person.”
When respect feels threatened, no conversation works.
Apologize sincerely if needed. Use contrast statements:
Your emotions come from the story you tell about what’s happening—not the event itself.
Event → Interpretation (“story”) → Emotion → Reaction
People naturally fill gaps with:
The fix:
The book’s core communication tool:
This expresses truth while reinforcing safety.
Use curiosity to draw out their meaning-making process.
Tools:
AMPP Skills
ABC of listening: agree where you can, build on shared areas, compare differences respectfully.
Goal: understand them well enough that they feel seen.
Crucial conversations should end with clear commitment.
Questions to answer:
Four decision models:
Pick based on urgency, stakes, and involvement.
Dialogue succeeds when people feel safe enough to express their full truth—and curious enough to hear others.
Crucial Conversations is fundamentally a blueprint for replacing defensiveness with inquiry, fear with safety, and positional fighting with collaborative problem-solving.
