I love travelling and do it now, but would love to do longer stays in places when I'm retired. A few months in Bali, a few months in Thailand, just explore and enjoy. I also want to learn how to fly, I'm hoping to take some lessons and get started but it's expensive and time consuming. Maybe when I'm retired I'll have enough saved up

Imagine if the US joined the rest of the civilized world and built high speed rail networks
Yeah it was definitely aurora because there weren't many clouds, it was a pretty clear night, just windy
One time I was on a road trip with some friends. One of my friend's grandparents owned a small farm in northern Iowa. We stopped there for the night to take a break and rest up. At one point in the night I heard a spooky howling sound that woke me up. I looked out the window and the sky was glowing green and had a magical spookiness about it. I went outside to stare at it and came to the realization that the howling was wind moving between the grain silos and the sky was green because of solar wind interacting with the Earth's magnetosphere. But there was a moment when I thought I was on a haunted farm
Yeah for sure, using proper test gear is necessary. But sometimes I'm just trying to do something quick and dirty and injecting tone from my phone is good enough. I also do some audio gear restoration at home and it helps there. Did a big work over of an old Teac reel to reel deck and being able to inject tone was so handy (without stealing gear from work)
You signed the agreement, now we get EVERYTHING! I recently enabled duckduckgo's app tracking protection and it has been eye opening. In the past 7 days it's blocked 4200+ tracking attempts.
I use an app called Signal Generator to diagnose analog audio issues (I work in broadcasting)
That's because the FM signal needs an antenna that's longer than you can fit in your phone
I know I'm a minority opinion but I like having the option. It's like IR blasters, SD cards, removable batteries.... things I didn't use all the time but sometimes come very much in handy.
I set it up a while ago but if you search for guides I'm 100% sure you'll find them. I think jellyfin has their own guides. It gets a bit more complicated when you want to access it from outside your network. I use ddns (dynamic DNS) because my ISP doesn't give static addresses to residential customers. This allows me to have a hostname of xxxx.ddns.net. then I had to set up port forwarding on my router so that the jellyfin traffic is allowed through to my desktop that that is running jellyfin and has all my media. Internally on your LAN you'll need to have a static IP for your desktop too.
Jellyfin is so good. I'm travelling internationally right now and it makes me smile that I can stream stuff from my home at any time. I'm gonna miss Netflix DVD because I would get Blu-rays and rip them to my media library
Hey man, NASA, a government agency has done a ton of cool stuff recently. Rovers and a helicopter on Mars, JWST, asteroid sample return, fostering the commercialization of flights to the ISS have dramatically reduced the cost of getting our astronauts to orbit. We do space exploration pretty darn well.
