Where I am in AUS, it seems to be crane rental. I guess pretty easy just to invoice out a days rental and sit around doing nothing.
A few years back, I moved into an old farmhouse in the countryside. It was peaceful, except for the noises that would come from the attic every night, a soft thumping like someone walking around. After a couple of sleepless nights, I finally mustered the courage to check it out.
I climbed up to the attic with a flashlight. It was full of dusty old furniture and trinkets, probably from previous tenants. As I was examining a pile of old newspapers, my flashlight caught something - a pair of eyes glowing in the dark, staring right back at me. I nearly dropped the flashlight in shock. As I shone the light in the direction, I found an old portrait of a woman. The eyes were eerily lifelike. I convinced myself it was just the way the light was hitting it.
The noises didn’t stop, but I learned to live with them. But the weirdest part was when I left the house a 6 months later. The movers came to get my stuff, and I told them to leave everything in the attic, I’d Grabe those items myself. I mainly needed movers for the big heavy stuff. Later, when I returned to pick up some remaining items, the portrait was gone.
To this day, I still can’t figure out where it could have gone, why just that. Probably some completely logical explanation, but it still gives me chills when I think about it.
Hmm. If it needs to be live, something like red pill media may have japanese content.
I have a similar problem wanting to watch Dutch and German TV. I just gave in and found a couple of good Usenet indexers for each Language, and just host a plex media library for both. With a radarr container for each language.
Do you need to watch them live?
You seem on top of everything. No red flags when I look at what you are considering. Any will do great.
The Topnton i3-n305 Mini PC is a good choice. Intel NUC is another solid option, especially when used with a RAID enclosure for storage. Remember cooling is crucial for these devices, particularly if they'll be housed in a small space. The importance of a good cooling solution cannot be overemphasized.
As for the operating system, Ubuntu is user-friendly and well-supported. You can run your desired applications like Plex or Jellyfin for media serving, qBittorrent, Sonarr, Radarr for torrenting, Wireguard for VPN, AdGuard or PiHole for ad-blocking, and Home Assistant for home automation, all on Linux. For managing these services, consider using Docker. It can help keep your system organized and simplify the process of updating. If you’re currently using them in a nas, you’re probably doing so already. But take the opportunity to clean things up, and if you’re not doing so already, use docker compose.
Foe backups, rsync can be used for local backups and Rclone for backing up to the cloud.
Go away spez.
Lemmy or die.
My wife is the same.
Yeh. It’s amazing. I have a medical license for it. But sometimes I want to not sleep haha. More about the silence being frightening. Rather than not being able to sleep. Haha.
Does anyone else find absolute silence difficult to deal with? In particular difficult to sleep in complete silence?
I think it started from a young age, being obsessed with music. Falling asleep with music.
As an adult, I still struggle with this and need some form of audio to drift off, be it music or something else.
More recently, I find stand-up comedy works best - it's light-hearted and doesn't require too much thought.
I’ll check it out. Let me know what you think of my recommendation haha.
I grew up performing. Loved music of all kinds. Went and studied music at university.
Then ended up hating music. Which is so weird I know. Something about needing to perform to survive haha. I didn’t like it.
I started listening to pop music in different languages. German. Italian. French. Etc.
Was surprised and became obsessed with an obscure Italian pop band from Turin called Pinguini Tattici Nucleari. Flew there from Australia. Saw them play.
Now they are huge in Italy.
But yeh. Dunno why it took listening in a language I didn’t understand to do it for me. Probably something with appreciating the actual music, rather than a catchy pop song. I say great music “creates interest”. And it definitely does.

It seems Ben and Jerry's may be next in the firing line after they made waves with a provocative 4th of July tweet claiming the US is on stolen Indigenous land. Could we witness a downturn similar to Bud Light?
Or is their irresistibly good ice cream strong enough to keep their ship afloat?
Edit: Side note - in the absence of B&J, what ice cream are you turning to? I’m in AUS. So B&J was a game changer. Not anything else like it that I’m aware of.
I’m curious, does anybody else sit down in the shower. (That’s right not a typo. Sitters, not shitters)
This started for me when I was younger, usually when I was nursing a gnarly hangover. The warm water beating down on me was a solace and sitting just made it feel all the more comforting. Though I’m sure it’s not the most hygienic.
Over the years, it's evolved into a ritual, now my preferred way to unwind and relax. So much so, I’m building a concrete bench seat in the shower, with a custom shower head above it, as part of our bathroom renovations. (Similar to the pic)
I'm curious if anyone else has a similar routine. Do you find it therapeutic too? Any particular reason why you started?
What if all our dreams are glimpses into alternate realities where we live different lives? What’s the most interesting or wild alternate reality your dreams have shown you?
If during sexual intercourse, instead of moaning, people could only express themselves using famous tv and movie quotes, which quote do you think would become the most common line used?
Imagine if our pets could suddenly speak human languages. What’s the most embarrassing thing they could reveal about you?
Think back to a pivotal moment in your life where you had to choose one path over another. If in an alternate universe you took the other path, how do you imagine your life might be different now?
If you could experience the world from the perspective of any other living creature for one day, what creature would you choose and why? What insights do you think this new perspective might give you?
Hello, everyone.
I'm looking to kickstart my community, realcompetitions, with a fun, recurring challenge. I'm eager to hear your ideas on what it should entail. The best idea will be rewarded with a humble but exciting 0.02 ETH.(excl fees)
Here’s what I’d like the concept to include:
- Recurring Nature: The challenge should be designed to run either weekly or monthly. If the prize isn't won during one round, it will roll over and add to the jackpot for the next.
- Fair Play: The concept should inherently discourage any form of rigging, ensuring a fair and engaging experience for all players.
- Unique and Engaging: The idea should be original, captivating, and should drive players to return and play again.
I can't wait to see the innovative concepts you'll come up with! And how big we can grow the community/challenges.
Additionally, I could use some assistance with moderating the community if it grows. If you're interested, please let me know.
Just so everyone is aware, all prizes come directly from my own pocket. While they may not be huge, my aim is simply to encourage and boost community engagement.
Looking forward to hearing your ideas. Peace and love! ✌️💛
I didn’t…….
