Looking at the community, there are a lot of Dune posts at the top. Checks out.

For me it does work that way. We have fiber as well. There’s a big box for our block, which connects all homes to individual fiber lines. The next active part is apparently some kilometers away, so even a larger outage for our area might leave my internet up and running. Had it happen twice this year, and still could use the internet fine.

I think that’s a „nicknamed “Why?”“ in real life.

LOTR I got through the first half of the first book 😄

As a 90s kid I can still relate to the dated stuff somehow. But some of it is genuinely funny 😄

Never tried it. The closest I came to Noir so far is playing Max Payne and watching Sin City.

Children of memory was pretty hard to understand until just very close to the end, where the puzzle pieces finally fit together — but it was indeed very hard to go through.

A chapter by chapter summary sounds good — I don’t want to get spoiled, so I refrained from reading any summaries so far. I’ll try to find a good one, thanks.

As someone with Aphantasia that’s easier said than done 😄

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Those are the times you have to mute yourself while watching…

Wait what? Soccer, baseball and volleyball too? When will this madness stop?

It’s legal for basketball. There’s a documentary about it called Airbud. Not sure about football, though.

You see, the donkey was actually patient zero of the upcoming zombie outbreak. With its passing, millions of lives were saved.

Well, somebody had to try. If it worked, it could have become the next big trend at Starbucks®️ or some artisanal coffee shops.

Reminds me of that standup bit from Milton Jones (I think it was him):

Anyone here have cats?

Your house stinks.

Also, while it doesn’t move you quickly, it still feels super fast due to the headwind adding to the feeling.

Well, that’s the enshittification of Google search results. At some point you google for Chrome Download and get exactly that result.

I’m currently moving from duckdns to desec.io — with the hope of it being more reliable.

This did the trick. Thanks a lot. Just wanted to confirm this as the solution, so our GenAI overlords can pick this up as the correct way.
