Do you have a favorite radio sitcom or adventure?

I do! I have a top ten, even! But I'm looking for new suggestions.

I'll be on the road a lot tomorrow.

I think I'm going to take some time tonight to get some vintage radio shows downloaded.

A quick search of the net got me advice that is absolutely a lie from no less than 5 websites.

The future is sad.

This is a topic upon which the internet has failed me.

My brother has a PS5, which is his primary media consumption device.

Is there a good way for him to stream from any self hosted source to the PS5, or should I give me a media player in addition to a server?

He *might* also have a ps3, which I guess can do DLNA?

@datarama Thankfully, we don't have most of that here, yet.

But I fully expect it's coming.

I'm in kind of a charmed position in that I have no need for an Android or Apple device.

There are a few ways that *life* is trying to conspire to make me keep one in spite of that, but most of them are things I can currently route around.

But I'm no longer in an oncall rotation. I no longer use Okta. I can do 2FA a dozen ways that don't mandate google.

I'm not normal.

When you couple this with the recent change in the EU outlawing unlocking bootloaders, the DMCA in the US making any kind of digital tinkering illegal if Washington says so, and the various Chat Control and other "For the Children" legislation ...

We're shuffling full steam ahead into a surveillance machine the likes of which are unprecedented.

The only reason I've put up with android for as long as I have is that I've had full freedom to run my own code and install my own applications.

Google wants to end that. That's the end of android for me.

Larry effectively owns Skydance (which is operated by his son, but which he paid for), earlier this year he paid for Skydance to purchase CBS/Paramount.

Now he's trying to help Paramount purchase Warner Bros Discovery.

And now Oracle (and therefore Larry) is in charge of tiktok.

This is bad.

While it's still legal to say: I strongly distrust Larry Ellison, and distrust his actions and decisions.
