It’s a different approach from Every Frame, but Thomas Flight scratches the same itch for film analysis.

Also a quick shoutout to a local urbanism channel with cool niche topics, About Here is pretty great.

I didn’t think I’d ever feel passionately about heat pumps, but thanks to his channel I’ll happily try to convince anyone I talk to that they need to switch to one.

Libgen is great for popular books, but the above guide is amazing for finding basically anything else. I’ve often needed to load up IRC to find more obscure books.

I’ve been following Lemmy and the fediverse in general for a while so I’m excited about this new energy. Like others have said, my reason for leaving Reddit specifically are:

• I won’t ever use the official app, fuck ads and bad U
• it sounds like old Reddit is going away, and I can’t stand new Reddit
• a platform more resilient to this type of changes is appealing

As someone who can never find the right cable, I like using calibre’s content server. You start it up then open up the kindles built in browser and go to the listed address and download your books from there.

I use a Europiccola lever machine. I can get shots on par or better than all but the best coffee shops in my area (though the frother leaves something to be desired). I’m using a manual grinder, which is a good way to keep the budget down and keep quality high.

Been low key obsessed with this dude since his first line in The Witch. Such an amazing voice.

Torrentleech recently had open invites in the wake of rarbg shutting down, other sites will sporadically have openings randomly too. When these happen people will sometimes post to places like this to get the news out, but it can be a bit of luck to get in.

Hexbear.net is a community that’s been running on a forked version of Lemmy for a few years now and has ~25k users. Over the weekend they switched over to running core Lemmy, and will be federating in the coming weeks. I believe this is a big part of the jump in users since they would count even though there’s no actual federation yet.
