You’re a legend, cheers mate.

I like using imperial and metric interchangeably on small measurements, like saying an inch is way easier than 2.54 centimeters, same with foot and 30cm, and most people get what you’re saying especially when I was doing construction/engineering. Beyond that though it does get a bit silly and very arbitrary.

I’m new to this PT game, just installed Jellyfin then started digging into the arr-verse and installed Jackett and Sonarr to populate Jellyfin with all the old shows that aren’t shown anymore, found SG-1 and The Lost Room without too much trouble but Sonarr is having problems with Warehouse 13 at the moment.

So with r/opensignups gone, what’s another way to know when PT’s are offering sign ups?

No, no, it’s 198.162.0.1!

It’s a rabbit hole indeed, I’ve already started looking around the *arr-verse and I can definitely say several of them are looking mighty fine already. And they really aren’t particulary challenging setups either, unless you get into the whole self-hosted side with NAS’s and reverse proxies and what not.

Truly a golden age for FOSS at the moment.

I just installed Jackett (a tracker aggregator effectivley) yesterday, it was a super easy set up and now my qbittorrent can check all the torrent sites at the same time and find the highest seeded file from practically every public tracker on the internet.

So I’d highly recommend this route. I also set up Jellyfin on my WebOS TV yesterday too, which was a bit more of a challenge but it works flawlessly so I’d also highly recommend Jellyfin as well.

Try Vivaldi browser, it’s old school Opera with a Chrome dress on. So you get the benefits of Chrome with the focus on privacy and innovation of old school Opera.

(Replied to the wrong comment but you get the gist.)

I’m no “normie” but Linux is so damned ass backwards my brain just can’t cope, some of the times I was unsure if I was asking the OS to change directory or summon Moloch to bring a thousand years of darkness to the world.

Quite often only 27.

I’m pretty sure it alreacy has it, check the settings. (Just checked it’s in Settings->[Username] Settings->Show Read Posts)

Mark read on scroll though is the setting I’m waiting for but will probably have to wait for Boost that will no doubt have all those kind of more advanced settings like it did for reddit.

I’m thinking I may have to. I’ve been watching some videos with the I Am Legion mod, which really improved the longevity of the first one for me, and it looks amazing.

It should be, I fully agree, unfortunately we live in a digital panopticon.

Eeeeh, I could but Techland has long been one of my favorite little studios so pirating one of their games just doesn’t feel right to me.

Also piratebay hasn’t been relevant in years and is most likely chock full of all kinds of nasty malware now, try 1337x instead. They’re probably the best of the lot now rarbg is no longer with us.

Dying Light, absolutely fantastic pakour zombie smasher with one of the best cities in gaming. Bought it originally (on a disc) many years ago and played it so much the disc died and I was inconsolable until Epic gave away the ultimate edition and I was finally able to play The Following DLC.

Now I go and look at Dying Light 2 on Steam and wish my stupid country wasn’t so damn expensive, even on sale at 50% off it still costs almost as much as a brand new AAA game in the states. Regional pricing my ass, we always get stung so hard for tech down here.

You would think that, but the big banks made out like absolutely crazy from the derivatives and then got to seize a whole swathe of land they then sold on for even more money or kept for themselves and used to artificially inflate the rental markets while at the same time curb stomping their competition thus giving them a much larger piece of the pie after everything shook out.

The real own goal here is the poor saps who thought they were getting a cheap mortgage until the interest rates started going up and up.

Boost just recently pushed out an update too, maybe there’s something behind the scenes we aren’t aware of yet.

I reckon there are two factors at work here, the profit imperative and enshitification. The profit imperative relates to how corporations have to make exponential profits every single year (and as we all should know you can’t have exponential growth in a finite system.)

And enshitification is a result of the profit imperative, with all the corporations trying vainly to keep the profits rolling in they have to cut quality, be it through replacing ingrediants with inferior ones or pumping in the sugar so it’s harder to taste the wood chips, killing third party alternatives for viewing your site to keep all the ad revenue to yourself, putting out unfinished products and charging top dollar while treating your users as unpaid testers.

Or any other of the million shitty practices corporations can think up to keep the economic perpetual motion going, it’s all going the same way in the end though because you can’t get blood from a stone and as a great man once said “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
