They exist here in Australia too. Which is a Commonwealth country with lots of English influenced heritage and culture.

Sounds a bit like the topiary scene in The Shining. (Book version)

Just be less poor. /s

But seriously in business class you can tell them if you want to be woken up or not and they’ll remember and respect it. Or course you can also probably get something to eat even if you missed meal service.

Star trek is notorious for having bad first seasons.

Enshittification and masturbation.

These mines are going to be a problem for decades to come sadly.

Thousands of angry Muslims around the world demanding Sweden forbid such acts reacted by storming and burning the Swedish embassy in Iraq on July 20, for instance, as well as burning countless US, Israeli, Swedish and LGTBQ flags.

So they’re complaining about their symbols being burnt but they do exactly the same? Okay.

Shut the fuck up Donny!

At least it’s an ethos.

I suspect they’re thinking about port forwarding. For another torrent to connect inbound to you, you need to have a port open for inbound connections and most VPNs don’t provide this as standard.

But you can still torrent if you don’t have ports… But you can only initiate outbound connections to other peers. And it works two way… Those peers you connected to can request data from you without problem.

However if there are too many peers without ports then it becomes a problem because no-one can successfully connect with each other.

Agreed. It’s like people forgot about Microsoft and IE. They also had drm options in the browser. Anyone remember Silverlight?

And how did that work out for them?

Have you checked your carbon monoxide alarm? Maybe it was you?

How the Best and Hot algorithms work on Reddit is completely up to Reddit. They 100% tailor it to the user.

Buy any kindle you prefer. Install calibre. Connect USB cable between kindle and computer.

Done.

Now download ebooks from anywhere, import into calibre and sync to your Kindle.

I have the paper white touch screen one.

Star Trek ships at home. And Game of Thrones characters at work.

Have you seen the pyramids? Those old Egyptians were techies.

Yes this has been a game changer and would’ve been my advice too (but you posted before me).

Using a deluge container with vpn baked in is amazing. And also it makes setup so much easier. Instead of messing with tags and complicated configs I simply run a deluge docker container for each other app. My movies docker compose file starts up radarr and it’s own deluge and jacket etc. My television docker compose file starts up medusa, it’s own deluge, etc.

Provides for maximum flexibility. And put traefik in front of it all… so I go to “movies.mydomain.net” and can use radarr… or “television.mydomain.net” and it goes to medusa. Much more family friendly.

Cool. But what about tomorrow when he changes his mind again?

Don’t threaten me with a good time!
