Figuring out air times when you live in the same timezone you grew up in: remember back to when you were a kid and there were TV episode promos, and they'd end with a guy telling you when it'd air and he'd go "Coming up this Thursday, 9 - 8 central" or "8 - 7 central" and so whenever I see something's on at # ET, I have that guy in my head doing the math going "#-1 central" lol #Midwest #Millennials #GenXers

Just found a stray PureWriter backup file from 2023 on my laptop, back when my Galaxy Z Flip phone died just outside its warranty, and during recovery attempts, I lost about 26k words of #CreativeWriting. Original and #fanfic, all gone. Guess what? I GOT IT ALL BACK TODAY OMGGGGI'd written the ending of my longest, most popular/beloved fic too, and having to rewrite it from scratch was such a daunting task I'd lowk given up on ever finishing it. Can't BELIEVE this!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!! WOOOOO

#FDQ Fandom Discussion Question of the week https://glammr.us/@librarymonster/116997836792003968 :PDo you have a song that's aggressively attached to your fandom in your head that's NOT part of the official soundtrack (if it has one)? ๐ถ What is it, and why does it match your fandom so perfectly?

Also, S01E02 'Deep Throat' where they go to a military base to see UFOs (and Seth Green guest stars lol), there's a couple striking moments where Scully = Dean Winchester and it's the best #SPN #XFiles

Rewatching #XFiles and wow I love this show so much. 'Ghost in the Machine' S1E7 featured a tech genius who created his own #ArtificialIntelligence AND applied it to a smart home network holy shit lol

Since I lost Perplexity, I've been using MS #Copilot (via my school's MS365 subscription) and it's so clunky. I've scrolled and copied and pasted a ton until I finally got what I wanted: #Ollama installed > pulling Mistral & DeepSeek > installing AnythingLLM as a GUI via browser port (not the desktop app). Plans to install #SillyTavern soon too to see how fun & useful that might be re: catching consistency errors in my works... 2/2 ๐งต

So I used my student discount to get #Perplexity Pro for a year. Didn't realize that the 2000 computer credits were a one-time thing for the whole year :/BUT Perplexity was an A+ learning tool. With it, I learned more advanced stuff on Github, began my home networking journey: Jellyfin, all my old laptops via samba, Tailscale; backup & drive failure configurations, solar power questions, etc. 1/2 ๐งต

I'm so happy to be dropping a class this semester (this is the first week). Now I'm only taking a single 4 credit class & won't be overwhelmed \o/ It's called Crises in Libraries. Very exciting topic with a professor I love, Jeanne Holba Puacz ๐#MSLIS #LibrarySchool #libraries

Communities have to get to know you too & it can be a record scratch. You think you've shared a beige flag w/a chill tone? Think again ๐ It could be fan community baggage OR just weird one-off miscommunication, but being resilient & persistent usually pays off (unless you start feeling the whole vibe is toxic, which has happened to me before too, so at that point I've noped out of that community to find other ones) ๐งต 2/2

From the creators of GoodSearch.com! Aw I remember goodsearch ๐ซถ I'm using ecosia right now but this might be an excellent alternative search engine to Google (looking for search engines that don't conflate an Internet search with an AI prompt).

Space Weather sounds silly but it's real and NOAA is running it and everyone should know about this. This is the site that everyone will realize they should've been consulting when the internet apocalypse hits.

We recently had some summer stormy weather and we binged Twister and Twisters and Widows Bay and now I want a radar weather view in my homelab refreshing every 15 minutes. A spare monitor, this page, and the Firefox add-on 'Auto refresh page' c'mon now this is awesome...

After over 6 months trying to adopt #Apple phones with an iPhone 17 (and please be aware this is about my experience with Apple phones - I have an Apple iPad & I love it), I've moved back to #Android. P will get it for Father's Day!!! I'll take his old iPhone 12 so I can still have an iPhone for reference and tech help interactions at work though. Here's the good for me on iPhones: The iPhone 17 has an incredible automatic camera + filters to make every picture gorgeous. This feature makes such a huge difference in one's experience with their phone. iPhone widgets are awesome - Pressreader's top stories were great (their widget is there in Android but not working for me). Wikipedia had an iPhone widget of the most popular articles that doesn't exist on Android ๐ญ And weirdly, the whole Hoopla app isn't working on my Nothing3 Android (login page just doesn't appear). The iPhone bad: I write creatively on my phone (long story short I quit smoking & the only way to write without triggering cravings was in bed on my phone, and I came to really enjoy the process!), and I basically stopped when I got the iPhone. I thought perhaps I would learn to love the keyboard; through osmosis & constant texting & writing, I would just pick up how it worked. Instead I came to rely on dictation, which sure is great for casual conversation but dictation is too much if you're worldbuilding or getting emotional over your own scenes. I didn't fiddle with the settings as much as I suppose I could've, and a tech ed colleague of mine indicated her iPhone wasn't as chaotic as my iPhone keyboard was, so perhaps I still just didn't customize it properly. But...
