Narri N. (they/them)

I have a trauma-based personality disorder, which sometimes manifests itself in episodes of often uncontrollable bouts of verbal violence. I prefer to direct this to people on the internet (as opposed to actual people), as I don’t wish to be violent towards people I actually care about.

  • Hey I get you. The great northern birdsnest I still call home has taught me since childhood that everything coming out of Russia has been, is and always will be bad. Just your standard rascism, “ryssä on ryssä vaikka voissa paistais” type of shit you know? “We weren’t actually nazis despite what we did with who in the war” and other collected denialisms on top of that. Unlearning the capitalist indoctrination is difficult, but I have learned to lend my critical support for the Russian state in the fight against western imperialist hegemony as my understanding of the world increases.





  • Yeah, I’m pretty sure there’s information around again once shit hits the fan. But for now it seems to be working.

    And also yeah. Our setup worked out of the box with both KB&M and my partner’s TV’s remote (a Samsung smart-tv of some kind if it matters), though the LineageOS i installed might’ve had some settings of its own regarding remotes that are vital; i kinda went by the vibes of what could be set and set those before verifying if the remote worked initially. But it was working before I changed the OS so it might “just work”.


  • Because it’s often real fucking scary? My every past (often futile and misguided) attempt at forming a (stricly monogamous cishet) relationship ended for one reason (me) or another (the other half). I have been hurt by myself and others, by my own feelings or the other’s or the lack thereof from either. Now I live together with an incredible woman who gets me and I get her and our futures have so far seemed well aligned and stuff and I never have to fear to be judged or ridiculed by her unlike in previous attemps and I know she trusts me (and I trust her when she says so) as well. And yet still I find myself fearing: what if she’ll just stop loving me because of xyz? Because everyone else has left so far (sure I might have personally driven away a few because of my fears and insecurities, and maladaptations or other toxicities, but I’ve grown from those times emotionally). It’s real scary to open your shell and be at your most vunerable, but it is also required. Not everyone can be expected at any point to be able to do it just like that.

    That’s my two cents.


  • No. I decided to go with StremioOS which didn’t work (like many others online had noticed also), but digging deeper it turned out to just be a custom LineageOS AndroidTV setup. So I downloaded that dev’s fork of it and installed it on to the RBPi SSD, and then installed the Stremio APK for AndroidTV on that and got it to work that way. These are the hoops I mentioned. This was good actually, because then I could just install a SmartTube APK on the same OS and got that sweet adblock and SponsorBlock action on Youtube that I had hoped for in the beginning. Also learned to use SSH which was way less complicated on (W)LAN than I had initially assumed. Now I guess we’re just waiting for Google to complete the death knell of Android, at which point I’ll have to find another way of setting up this service for us. But as it stands we should manage. Again, thank you. You specifically, and those few other folks who replied to my incoherent question straight away.
