That’s right, the tailored homepage isn’t present in Invidious.

I’m in the same boat of having educated the algorithm to fairly reliably show me things I actually want to see; I use my Invidious instance mostly as a backup for when the YouTube gods are in a foul mood towards Firefox or Ublock or the color of my shirt or whatever

I love going back and replaying Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy on my PS2; awesome memories there. I really want to try out the OpenGOAL project

I’m currently moseying through Okami HD on my Switch. I’m enjoying it, though having a 4 month old limits how much I can play

Google just wants you to submit to their authority and do things the way they want.

Invidious and Piped are great alternative front ends; no ads, no tracking, no algorithm, no stupid throttling.

Piped.video is the main Piped instance, and I’ve got Invidious running at ourtube.roguewave.observer

I just finished Lieutenant Hornblower and am thoroughly enjoying the series. I’ll be starting Hornblower and the Hotspur soon.

ABCDEF

Google sure is. Brave is a chromium-based browser - a browser that is built off of Google Chrome, so anything Google wants to put in their web browser to track you and devour your internet-soul is also in Brave and all the other “web browsers” that are just chromium skins like Edge.

First, I have to recommend Way of Ramen’s YouTube channel; he makes great videos, and I use several of his recipes in my Ramen.

I make WoR’s super simple Shio tare to start Ingredients:

• 450ml Water
• 70g Sea Salt
• 25ml Hon Mirin
• 7.5ml rice Vinegar
• 25ml Usukuchi shoyu
• 5g caster sugar
• 2.5g (1/2tsp) msg

Directions:

• Bring 450ml of water to a simmer
• Add salt, stir to dissolve
• Add mirin, sugar, shoyu, vinegar, 1/2tsp MSG Stir, then let cool and store

The bowl of ramen contains the following:

• 36ml Shio Tare
• 1Tbsp Chicken fat
• 400ml Hot water (or chicken stock or any good soup you have on hand)
• Pre-made noodles (look up Hakubaku or j-basket, both should be on Amazon or in your local Asian market)
• Toppings:

• Green onions
• Sautéd Red Bell pepper (skip if I’m not in the mood)
• 1/2lb. Fried chicken tenders (the stuff from Publix is magic if you’ve got one near you)

This can all be done in one day, but the tare recipe makes enough for at least a dozen bowls, so you’ll just warm it up later.

I’ll have Sir Patrick Stewart soliloquizing about space followed by a rad fanfare as I get breakfast.

Sounds pretty cool to me.

One day we’ll have faster-than-light spaceships and computers the size of a human hair, and we’ll still be making Doom run on them

Not thrilled about adult swim or “grownup” fans. If this ends up being Rick and Morty but with Adventure Time characters, then I will pass. Adults can enjoy television, even animation without hearing an f-bomb every 30 seconds and without references to sexual organs.

Congrats on nabbing Brothers in Arms! That’s such an awesome album to put on and just vibe with

Thanks for the advice here, folks.

I’ve got a technical roadblock getting my instance installed, and with stress at my job (of course also considering valid concerns raised here), I am not going to pursue running a fediverse instance at this point in time.

I plan to create this community on my instance (once I figure out how to get it running)

That looks so wonderful! I do wish I could spend more time exploring nature (work has me very busy these days).

My wife and I recently moved to a small town with a privately owned, 2000 acre forest preserve; we took a picnic lunch just a short way in a while back, and I desperately want to explore more of it.

I had just finished Voyager season 2 when they pulled it off Netflix. I’m going to have to chase down the DVDs on eBay at some point.

If I were to create Communities around art/photography, am I correct to assume that all those image files would be living on my instance’s storage?

My memory probably is more of early Web 2; I was born in the late 90s, so I suppose I missed the really wild west days.

Flash games were great though; it seemed like every company that even slightly catered to people under 30 had a website with some game on it.
