I don’t know, maybe there’s a healthy medium? My home computing is still very personal.

I will hang out on IRC with friends, while I hack away on my low-tech coding projects in the background.

My smart phone is primarily used for comms and navigation, and I’m not stuck to it out in public.

I refuse a smart home, and the only mindless automation I take part in is dedicated to movies and TV.

Circling back around, I do feel like not all hope is currently lost.

Peroxide, heat, and UV light makes for a good combination.

But it’s not without risk, such as streaking or over-lightening. It also isn’t a permanent solution, but should buy you a good additional handful of years if the console is stored under optimal conditions.

I have used retrobriting on a few consoles, with decent results. I restored the plastic on a model 2 Japanese Sega Saturn this way, and it turned out gorgeous.

Did I do that?

The plastic on the SNES was some of the worst ever, when it came to UV discoloration. Though the SNES Jr. model specifically fairs pretty well, and has the additional benefit of being a 1CHIP model.

When I was a kid, my grandmother bought me a Steve Urkel doll from a garage sale. It had a pull string and would repeat Urkelisms from the TV show. The thing severely creeped me out, and felt completely cursed. So I lit it on fire with gasoline, then buried it in a shoebox.

That part I like.

I’m not a fan of the long nails because it hurts my insides.

The --embed-chapters flag above should accomplish this, then.

What do you mean descriptions? Like the video’s description body text? If so, yes. Gimme one moment to get on my computer, and I’ll edit this comment to include the command args.

EDIT: This is the specific shell alias I use when I’m archiving videos for backup.

yt-archive() {
    yt-dlp --embed-chapters \
        --concurrent-fragments 5 \
        --restrict-filenames \
        --write-description \
        --write-subs \
        --write-auto-subs \
        --sub-langs="en.*" \
        --paths="~/Archival/" \
        "$@"
}

The command arg you’re likely most interested in is --write-description which will output the text to a text file alongside the video file

Isolation and Christian fundamentalism.

Wouldn’t it be funny if the next one smelled like farts, though?

Establishing my legacy.

Deliciousness.

I’m familar with developing an airborne pathogen, but not how to consistently ensure it smells of fart. This is research.

If all farts are just methane gas, why don’t they all smell as delightful as mine?

I am looking for a serious answer.

The mukbang and feeder fetish elements didn’t spell that out before? This isn’t a new revelation.

I quite literally just told you my stance, and you’re still trying to mince words and inject context? This is the last bit of energy I’ll afford you.
