I swear to you that dropping all my digital streaming subscriptions and shifting to almost exclusively watching my hand-curated collection of decades-old classic TV series through my local media server** has saved my sanity since the start of 2025.

I know to some people it might sound like I'm seriously mental, but I really can't tell you how nice it has been to just have an immersive ad-free stream of on-demand vintage entertainment that contains no references to our current reality. (Seriously, I'm watching shows from the early 70s and these people are renting apartments for $100/mo, driving without seatbelts, and drinking 2 martinis every night; I'm pretty sure that stuff counts as pure escapism these days.)

I'm making an effort to watch episodes/series in rough chronological order (Jellyfin has a filter view that can help do this) and avoid binge-watching since I think these older series genuinely benefit from being watched episodically, like they aired.

TL;DR these days talking to me is like, oh you're getting into Squid Game? Temptation Island? Black Mirror? Severance? Handmaid's Tale? That other thinly-veiled metaphor for our modern dystopia show that everyone is talking about? No, I haven't seen it. Yah, I'm good - I went home last night and caught Bob Newhart, M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, and The Odd Couple, then watched Columbo catch a rich murderer.

**NOTE: I actually queued this post weeks ago, and I'm now editing to add that I've recently gotten a couple of DMs with questions about implementing Jellyfin (after another post i reblogged with some mouthy tags about it). I feel strongly that you should have the option of streaming your own files for free at home, so I do plan to write up a general overview of my own kludged-together setup when i get a second, because i know that FOSS tends to have the least-good documentation for non-techy users, and I want to help give you a nudge if you're leaning that way. -C.

Does anyone remember the old default Chess game that came with like, Windows Vista? The really simple no-nonsense game with the nice visual style and scaling AI?

Does anyone... HAVE that kicking around? Chess is no longer a default time-waster game in Windows Accessories (tbh I don't even think Solitaire is properly free anymore), and all the chess games (lbr, ALL games) available in the Microsoft App store are riddled with ads.

So if anyone has a way to get my hands on the old Windows default games I'd appreciate it. Been wanting to train my chess brain back and don't want to use browser-based games.

fanfic ask #9 for 'ye who are weary come home' please

9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?

This may be surprising but the answer is technically "No", because I was publishing as I was writing it, so it was a pipeline pretty directly from first draft to final.

Given the choice to go back and add more scenes/edit, I probably would, but it's better to leave as is imo ;) since I think it still holds up well.

Thank you 💜
