I’m ready for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. It looks like the Sphere is also quite stoked.

Bob Iger tells it like it is.

“It’s not just about raising pricing,” Iger said. “It’s about moving consumers to the advertiser-supported side of the streaming platform... the pricing that we recently put into place, which is increased pricing, was actually designed to move more people in the AVOD [Advertising-based Video on Demand] direction.”

This is why I like Guenther. The man tells it like it is.

Okay I couldn’t wait and got Tetris Forever. I was looking through and trying out the included 18 different Tetris games with my daughter and the collection is quite unique! Although, I am a bit disappointed that the 1989 Gameboy version is nowhere to be found.

I will take time to delve into the history/interactive documentary portion soon.

TIL: There's a Fish Doorbell.

Pressing the fish doorbell notifies the lock operator that there are fish waiting to pass. The operator can decide whether or not to open the lock. The fish doorbell allows us to work together to ensure that fish do not have to wait as long at the Weerdsluis lock. This is good news, because it means they are less likely to be eaten by other animals, such as grebes and cormorants.

Streaming is better, they told us. Much better than those evil cable TV monoliths with all the ads and stuff, they told us.

@paul Nice! While I can do this, I am going to leave it alone -- I want to keep my install vanilla. I wish that this setting could be set via the Web UI or configuration file.

I am totally going to miss #StarTrek #LowerDecks when it ends after this season. The writers, show runners, directors, voice actors and everyone else involved with the show all demonstrate a true love for Star Trek.

This show is so much fun and so funny.

@michael It's just me

@jnv

Oh thanks for reminding me about Silent Night. It's a John Woo movie and I totally forgot about it. Will need to try it out. From what I remember, the reception to the movie was rather lukewarm.

@jnv

This year it's going to be Home Alone with the kids. Then Die Hard and Violent Night with my son.

I discovered Violent Night last year and it's such a great Christmas action movie.

Asking for a friend... should this be turned on?

I can’t remember the last decent movie starring Dwayne Johnson.

@jnv my mini pc isn’t from Protectli. It’s been running 24x7 since before the pandemic. Fanless and quiet.

@jnv it’s been a while since I gave up on Ubiquiti, so take this with a grain of salt. I had a while setup using their gear — multiple APs and their firewall. I gave up because it was all too buggy.

I moved onto TP-Link APs and a mini PC running OPNsense. I have been satisfied with this setup. Stable and just runs without issue.
