"Rock Me, Dr. Zaius" has lived rent-free in my head for decades. It's also occasionally my ringtone.

Can you, like, just post the YouTube link so my browser extension can re-write it to the Invidious instance running in my basement instead of one that's slow, overloaded, and halfway across the world?

Anyone who cares is already re-writing Youtube links, and posting links to random Invidious instance is just inconveniencing us.

And the same goes to anyone else posting Invidious links and thinking they're "sticking it to the man". You're not. Most people don't care, and you're only sticking it to the people who do care by forcing us to use a non-preferred instance.

Just ๐Ÿ‘ post ๐Ÿ‘ the ๐Ÿ‘ Youtube ๐Ÿ‘ link.

This allows for seamless communication with biological cells

Smartphones in 2040:

Whatever. As long as I can run LineageOS or Debian on it.

On October 21, look up?

Such a good show. It deserved better.

No super powers, just a smart woman doing her thing.

I would also accept "Fly, you fucks!"

Constantly. Usually it takes the form of reducing topics to binary choices and/or purity tests.

  • "You're either with me or against me / You're either part of the solution or part of the problem"
    • Where "part of the solution" means doing exactly, and only exactly what they think you should be doing.
  • "If you don't satisfy all of my impossible requirements, you're ~~as bad as~~ a nazi"
  • "We only agree on 99 out of 100 things, so clearly you're not to be trusted"
  • etc

AFAIK, PiZero like you said.

If your router has a USB port and can recognize USB ethernet devices, then you can get one of those USB adapter boards and connect the Zero directly to the router and configure the Pi to be an ethernet gadget (power and network both over USB). If the router has a USB port but can't handle USB ethernet devices, you could still power the Pi over that USB port and connect the two over wifi.

Once you add an ethernet port and its supporting components to just about any board, it almost immediately becomes as large as or larger than a Pi Zero.

can be powered from the same Ethernet cable that connects to the router

Ethernet doesn't carry power on its own unless you're running PoE. You can get a PoE hat for the Pi, but it adds quite a bit of bulk.

My router is an x86 box running OpenWRT, so I just run Docker on it which runs PiHole and a couple other small services.

I agree, but so does SMS/MMS. I'm only comparing apples to apples as far as the default messaging experience on the device is concerned.
