Hello everyone and welcome to the Manly Hanley Podcast. This is the Podcast with no limits on what we'll cover.
I'm your host, Randy. Have a snack, sit back, and relax.

Announcements
Things I returned to using because they work
Beer. Fine, this one doesn’t count. But, beer.
- Tiny Tiny RSS. (Went to Fresh RSS, but I realized I don’t have to host EVERYTHING on my NAS, even though I still prefer to)
- This is just one tool that I did NOT have to host on my NAS because my web hosting provider happens to have a TTRSS install script that sets it up for me on a server that’s easily made public, so it’s one less thing I have to open my server up to the internet for.
MeWe
Linux (I feel like this happens twice a year, like every Ubuntu Release).
In particular, I really like The Linux Experiment YouTube channel, which I will link.
Desktop Computer - I worry that they’re going to get “dumber” one day or cloud-centric, just like everything in technology seemingly is. Companies want to loan you something so that they have more control. Call me crazy, or think about it for a bit.
The things that bring me hope for this paranoid thought I often have is the gamers and people that love to build powerhouse PCs - It’s really cool.
These new iMacs are beautiful and everything, but please, you’re not going to limit my RAM. Don’t turn my computer into a mobile phone so you can blur the lines between your smartphones and laptops/iMacs. To be fair, Apple is gearing this computer toward student / basic home usehttps://www.cnet.com/news/apple-new-imac-proves-its-an-m1-world-and-we-just-live-in-it/.
Rob Braxman’s channel on Odysee. He’s all about privacy and, even tech-savvy users will learn things they didn’t know from him. He tends to cover mobile phones often, but what’s cool is that he doesn’t hold back on exposing the crappy things companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook do.
Stupid reaction videos. To me, those videos are about as useful as an unboxing video.
I don’t go into a movie theater and look to each side to see how the people around me are enjoying it. I either like it or I don’t. But…I’m guilty. I watch quite a few Drum reaction videos. I can’t help it. It’s a habit. I want to stop doing what dislike about others. I’m projecting!
