There’s always nushell. It’s fairly new, not quite to 1.0 yet (0.96.1 at time of writing), but the constant breaking changes seemed to have stopped. It hits all your points and it’s quite fun to use when writing scripts. Bonus that it’s also pretty much tailor-made to manipulate data.

I’ve just gotten a lot pickier as I’ve gotten older. It doesn’t help that I haven’t had a ton of time in recent years to really play much, but I’ve noticed most games don’t really have anything interesting like they used to.

I blame capitalism. It seems video games are following Hollywood’s plan on rehashing things, uninspired sequels, and just trying to make the most profit at the expense of quality.

It would probably work, but the accounts we shared before were Hulu and Disney+, none of which were “my” original accounts. So having to go through the hassle of showing family members VPNs and setting them up wouldn’t be worth it compared to just pirating.

The biggest loss to cutting streaming services is mostly discovery of finding some random show/film to watch. If you’re going to torrent something, you have to know what you want first. It doesn’t bother me much, but it’s kind of a bummer when you want to just put something on.

I recently upgraded my home “streaming” setup from an aging RPi3 connected running OSMC off of an NFS share drive from my local server to running Jellyfin directly from the server and connecting to it via the Jellyfin app on my Roku stick

With the crackdown on password sharing, the family accounts are dwindling so the pirating has increased again. Keeping Netflix for now and Shudder as I’m a horror fan, but otherwise everything else is 🏴‍☠️

here’s a list of public searx & SearXNG instances

If anyone has good experiences with any of them, definitely share!
