But I am stubborn. Here is my criteria: Sync Server: GPodder Sync on NextCloud Let’s start with the crux of this issue. Go on over to nextcloud and install Gpodder Sync as an app. Easy enough.

Because this information was annoyingly difficult to find online, I’m putting it here. To access the Quick Settings Menu on the Steam Deck from a gamepad like an Xbox controller or Switch Pro controller.. Simply press: Home Button + A Button For Example on an Xbox Controller press the Xbox Button + the A button.
If you find yourself playing the steam deck while docked on on something like a 4k television or 1080p computer monitor, you might be wondering why in-game settings seem to lock you to the native 1280×800 resolution. I wondered this too and stumbled across this helpful video the explained the process by Marcus Adams on Youtube. I’d like to outline the steps here though for those of you that just want the answer. To Increase…
There’s no denying that times have changes. Interest rates are high and the price of homes are even high. Astronomically high if you want to live in a major city. I’ve been a home owner for a few years now and as luck would have it I bought my house right before Covid at a very low price with a low interest rate. Since then my house has nearly doubled in value. I thank the…
My wife and I recently took a pleasant trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas. The town was quite the trip and a fun enjoyable place to visit full of history and walkable streets. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was walking around in the world of Fallout. The town had this feel of something far past it’s prime the was once extraordinary… I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it though. But of particular note…
Today I’m going to teach you a way of using the internet that I’ve never seen anywhere else. Specifically how to view the internet in the same way as someone from another country. You may have seen articles online about changing your location to another country using a VPN or Proxy (And those things certainly help). However this isn’t exactly what I’m getting at. For general web searches the catch is that regardless of where…
Agent Ransack is not malware. I know. It sounds like a virus. It’s name is reminiscent of a time where encryption was a novel concept and viruses popped up on your screen as a means to annoy you rather than steal your bank information. A fitting feel considering this software has been around a long time, since the year 2000 to be exact. For those that prefer politically correct language or for those that need…

Jellyfin is an open-source fork of Emby as a response to the closing of some of the open source code used on the Emby project and thus Jellyfin was born. Availability Despite only…
Searxng For all the nerds out there that love self-hosting you may find a self-hosted search engine to be an appealing prospect. That’s where Searxng comes in handy. Searxng (which I assume is pernounced like searching) is an open source meta search engine that was forked from the popular Searx meta search engine.

Social media is toxic. It shortens your attention spans and is linked with depression. We find ourselves impulsively doom-scrolling any brief moment of time we find ourselves insufficiently sedated with a constant stream of algorithm generated addictive content… or so I hear. While the truth is probably not as sensational as all of that, there’s no doubt that social media has become the opioid of the masses. Personally I find it dystopian to go into…
