Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the most controversial TV finale?
1·6 days agoIf you don’t mind saying, where in the show are you currently? Because depending on that, “MC last Minute heel turn” can mean drastically different things

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Say your partner is gone for around a week, and you're home alone. What are you going to do that you wouldn't normally with someone around?
15·8 days agoNah. She is a night-owl and always stays up for hours later than myself. Which makes it really hard to get up from the couch and go to bed for me in turn.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Intent recognition for HomeAssistant without an LLM?English
1·11 days agoActually… Just tried it. I am on 2025.10, so newer than what was mentioned there. It still does not understand any better than from what I remember. Bummer.
But hey, at least the acknowledge that there’s the need for something between dumb pattern matching and an LLM.

That article is from yesterday, and the relevant section is: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/10/22/voice-chapter-11/#improved-sentence-matching
Awesome to see improvements there. Thanks a lot for linking!

3·12 days agoDefinitely planned for next time. This time we went south to Fukuoka (already very few tourists) and rented a car back to Tokyo, staying in smaller towns. Highly recommend.

Television@piefed.social•Opinion: I Want Worse Looking TV Shows with More Episodes
4·12 days agoHard disagree. I’m watching Voyager for the first time right now. ~24 episodes per season, 7 seasons. You could remove a shitton of episodes from it to keep the basic plot of “Ship stranded far away. Get ship home.” intact, but there are very few episodes you might be able to remove without taking something from the characters. And that’s what’s missing in modern series (including Trek) in my opinion; characters are either cardboard cutouts or have “arcs” that are more akin to whiplash. As a result I just don’t care about these people. You also cannot really fix this with “just” better writing, because it’ll still need to be rushed.
I do have a fulltime job, and hobbies, and friends that I spend time with. So I’m maybe averaging a single episode per day, and it’s been and continues to be such a comfort that these characters stay with me, have time to breathe and develop, and get the space they need for the writers and actors to find their groove and make the characters something unique. I do not want to give that up again in favor of… what? Getting fancy visuals and being done with a show after a week?
I’m permanently done with Marvel/StarWars/NewTrek. Next up are rewatches of DS9 and Next Generation.

There should definitely be an option to disable this for self-hosting, but if it’s just a counter for how often each tool is used by all users combined… Eh…
(Stirling also has something similar)

3·12 days agoTrue. Especially the more “popular” temples are only open during regular hours, though.
In any case, I don’t doubt that you can have lots of fun and have the city for yourself at early hours!

3·12 days agoYeah but then most of the things people come to Kyoto for a closed.
Not saying I disagree.

3·12 days agoIf there’s specific things you want to do that happen to be in Kyoto, I agree. I just think (somewhat from personal experience) that going to Kyoto because that’s what you should do on a Japan trip is a bad idea.

4·12 days agoInteresting. We really enjoyed Tokyo, but spent most of our time there in smaller, out of the way areas. Absolutely loved it.
Though my favorite memories are from a super tiny seaside town (no public transport, ended up there because we misread the map) in the middle of nowhere.

7·12 days agoI mean… that’s a pretty memorable trip, no?



Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.
