I read this quite a while ago, and can't remember it at all. What did you think of it?

Loved this when I was a kid.
It’s a great introduction to chaos theory and emergent phenomena. Makes you look at the world in a different way!

rochansinha commented on Ask HN: What skills do you want to develop or improve in 2026? · Posted by u/meridion
Work:
1. Learning about manufacturing processes for high-throughput electroplating.
2. Learn pymatgen and other tools for building a self-driving lab for materials discovery and testing.
Non-work: 1. Improving my writing skills and start my blog with a few technical and non-technical posts.
I highly recommend setting up a kodi combo: real-debrid/fen/seren/coco scrapers/tmdb helper with your trakt account/arctic fuse 2 (netflix like skin). It is a complete "stream everything" netflix interface.
It takes quite a while to understand how to set everything up and needs tons of customization (which is also a positive), but reddit is your friend. For example this is a good guide (although bit dated, some info may be older but generally it still fits https://www.reddit.com/r/Addons4Kodi/comments/zzfdtb/allincl... )
I know people also use *arr stack and jellyfin to setup their own library but my problem is that i never /know/ what to watch. With this setup, i just turn it on, get to browse customized/recommended and random lists like in netflix and it streams directly via real-debrid or premiumize
Oh; if you decide to have a dedicated raspberry pi for this thing (so you can use it with tv easilly), use a regular raspbian os or something, do NOT use libreelec. It is trying to be heavily customized, but in the end is just worse, buggy, bad wifi support, slow releases from small team, and unability to manually update packages
I have been using realdebrid with POV on kodi and it works like a charm. Saving a bunch by not needing to subscribe to what seems like a million OTT’s
