Migrated my Firefish server to Sharkey today. I had to spend a while stumbling blindly through the totally foreign territory of docker and postgres, but it worked out surprisingly well in the end, except that I managed to delete all the media with a careless rm -rf. Whoops.

I also recently bought my first Lego set in the better part of a decade, at the recommendation of this blog post by Kalechips. I don't have much to say about them beyond what's covered there, but I absolutely love them. Definitely one of the better ways I could have spent a hundred Canadian FunBucks™.

I have this old pair of Skullcandy Crusher headphones that stopped working a few years ago due to some issue with the 3.5mm jack, and it recently occured to me that I finally have the tools to fix it! When I opened it up I noticed the port had lifted almost entirely off the motherboard and after soldering the pins back in place (and a generous application of hot glue, just in case) it works like new again! Credit to Skullcandy, all eight of the screws I had to remove were completely identical.

Published an interesting blog post today. I had ChatGPT write an article about how great AI is and posted it immediately without reading it. Hopefully you can tell. (If you couldn't and didn't register what was happening until the disclaimer at the end, I'm deeply sorry.)

-

To be clear, I don't like "AI" tools like ChatGPT one bit; I figured doing this would be an elegant way to communicate my feelings on the matter - here's how it feels to get tricked into reading AI-generated spam, this is how I feel anytime I see something AI-generated in the wild.

- My perspective on the use of AI in writing is that if someone couldn't be bothered to write it, why should anyone else be bothered to read it? - -@lucretia@final.town -

I've got half a blog post about this sitting on my computer somewhere.

In more fun news, my laptop server is up and running! Building the case was a fun time involving hand-cut aluminum rods and many 3D-printed brackets, but I'll save all that for the blog post about it. So far I've set up Jellyfin on it, and only Jellyfin. I plan to get some other stuff going eventually. Word of advice, don't use the official Jellyfin android app. It stutters a ton and is generally not very good. Use Findroid instead, but make sure to turn "mpv player" on in the settings, otherwise it will use software decoding and you'll get approximately 7 frames per second in your 1080p content.

Remember when you could pause a video on, like, Youtube and wait and it would eventually load the whole thing so you could watch it with no buffering?

- Comic of a guy pausing a Youtube video and reminiscing tearfully about the old days where it would buffer all the way to the end -

I happened across a tumblr post detailing some settings to accomplish that in modern Firefox, and I wanted to document it here.

I can't guarantee that this won't stop working at some point amidst the constant churn of arbitrary updates to websites and browsers alike, but it works for me right now, and if I learn about an updated method this is where it'll be.

-

Update: After using my browser with these settings for a while, I've noticed that the first of them breaks online video in some cases, notably Twitch streams and the Jellyfin web client. I've reverted the changes in my browser for this reason.
