I host my music on an Unraid box on my home LAN, use Plex+Plexamp to serve and access it, and 1000% recommended Plex+Plexamp. It is, without a doubt, the best music app I've used on a phone, including other self-hosting solutions, local apps like Poweramp, and commercial streaming apps like Spotify. I really can't speak of it highly enough.

I generally agree though barely stayed with Pixel+GOS after my last Pixel refused to turn on after plugging it in before a nap, leaving me with a totally bricked phone, no way of recovering local data on the device, and a $100 bill to replace it since the screen was cracked - despite it being dead because of manufacturer defects, and a broken screen having no bearing on it's death.

If I wasn't such a fan of GrapheneOS, I would have ditched Pixel so fast.

Try Kagi Search if you're willing to pay for a better search experience!

I've been using it for over a year, 100% of the time, and love it. Great results and awesome functionality like weighting certain sites, AI summarization, etc.

I don't work for Kagi, I just seriously love it.

almost everything folks want is legally available on a streaming service for cheap or no-charge

The majority of TV shows and movies that I watch are unavailable on streaming services. I know there's some more specialty streaming services for film these days, but besides that, it seems like its mostly well-known classics, anything mainstream from the past 20 years, or new releases that are available.

I solely credit piracy for enabling my appreciation of film and TV. I was never a big fan of either until I got access to a huge catalog and started watching classics that are not popular enough for streaming services to pickup.

Melatonin disrupts circadian hormonal cycles. One of the key ways being delay of morning secretion of cortisol and other hormones.

It really should not be ingested except on rare occasions.

PhpBB 3 years ago

You know, I actually actively dislike Discourse's UX. I've always found there to be a cognitive load to usage that I never found with PhpBB, other older forum software, or Reddit.

I think my issue with it has to do with too clean of a UI, not enough visual hierarchy, delineation between post replies, etc.

Like most dissociatives, it is unpleasant until it "clicks".

Once it clicks, it is just as pleasurable as Ketamine, Methoxetamine, and other related ACHs.

One major difference between DXM and K is that DXM is quite stimulating whereas K is rather subdued and relaxing. If you don't have dissociative experience besides Ketamine, I'm not surprised that trying DXM after K would lead to an unpleasant experience.

Sunlight has tons of red and infrared light (red and near infrared have mostly the same effects on cells, the main difference being penetration distance).

Light is ridiculously important for mitochondrial health, and that effect on mitochondria is one of the main reasons sunlight is so necessary for optimal health. Fun fact, 75% of potential ATP production only results from light exposure, with only 25% from food. We run on light more than we do food (necessary nutrients and minerals aside).

I would strongly argue against your claim that altering brain chemistry strips experience of meaning. That is a highly biased statement based on a few strong, and IMO false, assumptions.

Hancock was far removed when he first came onto the scene in the mid 90s, and is slowly finding his theories more and more supported.

I'm the one that mentioned him elsewhere in the thread. It's sad to me that he gets so much shit in scientific circles when he's quite reserved with making truth claims, instead making hypotheses that are unfortunately misaligned with current theories and so derided as pseudo-science or bullshit.
