We lived in a house with a bunch of roommates when we got our dog, and at some point “fuck off” became “go lie down on your bed and get outta my space”… So now if “go lie down” isn’t taking, then “fuck off” works…

Forgot to mention: controls that don’t suck

You might also ask nicely for folks to send you theirs. Especially since Nintendo is going after Yuzu, I’m sure there’s plenty of folks that would volunteer keys via DM just to stick it to Nintendo…

I’m also in the “my USB Xbox 360 controller is great” camp and wish that they still made them

Just try not to get fakes that are just the normal garbage with drift

Yeah, 4. Bought when we bought the house. Kitchen, bedroom, garage, and living roon where the wood stove is. Little one-time use ones in basement and kitchen again.

I have a single spreadsheet with fairly simple formulas for calculating monthly expenses based on average recurring bills vs. (after tax) salary income.

I can see generally what my “discretionary” balance should be and that gets spent on food, stuff, etc.

Things that are recurring: Mortgage, Utilities (take annual average if you can), services, savings, etc.

Use savings like any other bill - a certain amount must be paid/deposited every month. Use automatic balance transfers from checking->savings on payday to facilitate.

I don’t try to get too fancy with it and heavily leverage automatic bill pay for making sure I can’t forget anything.

Check all your accounts regularly. For me that’s a weekend task to do with my morning coffee. Check account balances, make sure credit accounts are addressed as needed, review investments if applicable, but don’t freak out about them.

I’m partial to treating investments as long term gambles that are NOT something I’m relying on for retirement. It’s just something else to slowly build up over the long run that might be something that can help later or pass on.

Because it accelerates the user experience when transitioning from non-hdcp to hdcp-protected content on their display(s). There’s no need for re-negotiation of the display protocol causing some minor flickering during the transition.

But that only matters if you’re presenting mixed content.

Yeah.

Not really self hosting a lot right now, but I’ve been spending a lot of time reengineering my network and fixing some things. Recently retired my loud and power-hungry pfsense server, replacing it with a Mikrotik rb5009, so setting that up has been a steep learning curve.

Most things are running on my Synology DS920+, except for a few raspberry pis.
