All of these recommendations are great. I'm always pleased to see so many cinemaphiles. I like lists, and have found many of my favorites from them.

Ebert's Great Movies List is perfect.

The Criterion Closet Picks, see the greats talk about the greats.

The Janus Collection has a lifetime of stuff.

I can confirm and I do use this feature of jellyfin. It works great. The reader is unusable. I use Librera for reading. It's great, free, and open source.

So my flow is biblio, mam, library Genesis, Anna's. Then to jellyfin folder that it reads automatically. Then I can download that to any device connected to the jellyfin server. Local is easy, abroad through tailscale.

Holy shit that's commitment.

I took a long break from gaming (~15 years). Then when I came back too it I found all these great games that had came and went. So I started parsing through many of the most critically acclaimed games. I hit Arkane, and Dishonored was so incredible (and I got Prey with them in a flash steam sale for a few bucks), I thought I'd give it a try.

I will say it's probably one of the best games I've played in my most recent gaming phase. It is a super solid sci-fi horror where you can engage. I do not like run and hide games, so this one fulfilled my criteria. The story is also classic sci-fi greatness.

It's also one of the few games I've got an itch to play again.

I got roughly 100 hours in. I only played a few battles over, opened most of the maps, but didn't complete all the side quests. I got frustrated by the length at the end and simply

spoilersacrificed Gale instead of actually fighting the brain

No regrets whatsoever.

It is a big commitment. I did not dilly-dally and am a veteran gamer. It took me 90 hours to finish a moderate play through. It's worth it but it did start to drag at the end. And that's just one ending.

Also, don't forget to look at Standard Ebooks for legal, well formatted public domain books. It's a great site.

The only place I found it was on myanonamouse. It's a pdf with side-by-side greek english with translations by Richard Fitzpatrick.

Is this the book?

I've got some rocks on a shelf from the Permian. So a little older than 250 million years.

Jellyfin is great but has some issues that can make it annoying. The 3rd party clients are often better than the normal interface. The server is easy to set up. So I can recommend all of it.

Honestly though, just because it isn't updated doesn't mean it is not great. I always revert to Clementine myself. Still use it daily and love it. There is an updated variant called strawberry which is updated and works great, but the remote doesn't work.

I'm being totally honest when I say, This Old House. It's always positive, inclusive, thoughtful. I've learned so much from so many different trades. They restore neglected structures and highlight local businesses and people. They underscore the importance of history and community. That encourage the underserved and downtrodden to use their hands and minds for positive community building.

There are 45 seasons and it's still going. I've tried to put it on just to have in the background and always end up riveted and engrossed. I cannot recommend it enough

I don't think that's true. From XDA forums, you can choose to disable the app or completely remove it. I have completely destroyed the system from uninstalling critical apps. I have had to do a complete factory reset due to uninstalling core apps. No root whatsoever.
