cool stuff on a hot day

reeI am not caught up on anything - so business as usual. It is eighty-freaking-three degrees where I am, and that's indoors. Things around temperature, humidity, and technology are yucky.
So I'm going to focus on some nice things.
I'm running a local media server. I'd toyed with doing so for awhile, and came across Jellyfin, which sealed the deal. (It's a bit like Plex and a lot like Emby, except all free and open-source, nothing locked behind a fee.) I downloaded a couple of old public domain movies and got to watching them on our Roku, by way of the Roku Media Channel and Jellyfin's DLNA support. And yesterday Jellyfin launched their dedicated Roku app! It's prettier and makes better use of the screen space. It kind of feels like a gift. I hope I am appropriately grateful.
Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant are the best forever. (context)
Central air conditioning is wonderful, even when it can't keep up with the heat. We'd be so much more miserable without it. Similarly, dehumidifiers. YAY.
SLUSHIES
I still need to find the iPod charger and then I can use it to dump my entire digital music library into Jellyfin. Something to look forward to.
I should do more around the house though. Have several good days! Do it for me! Please.
