Wow, that’s shit. I’ve been with Newsgroup.ninja for the past… decade. I’m grandfathered in on some /r/usenet promotion from a long time ago but they’re still pretty cheap and offer the same retention as easynews. Everything is on usenet, it’s just a matter of finding the right indexer, nice thing is the good indexers just want money so barring a few sites it’s pretty easy to get started.

Well… That’s 2 mins of my life I’ll never get back. Thanks for the link tho

I thought I had a lifetime Plex pass, but turns out I was on yearly and the price went up $20/year, so I bought lifetime before the price went up. My whole family uses Plex, I couldn’t handle setting up Jellyfin for everyone and their devices.

They jacked their prices, or are about to anyway. If you don’t have a lifetime Plex pass then Plex might not be a viable option. My seedbox provider has been pushing people to Jellyfin for anyone without a Plex pass.

It’s pretty common for me at least, I went from manjaro which broke during an update, to endeavour which broke many times but by that point I clued in to btrfs and it’s snapshots. Now I have my home directory split into different hard drives and I just keep my fstab file backed up online in the event that a snapshot can’t save me. Which happened last week, rather than continue on with endeavour I tried CachyOS this time. One day I’ll install Arch the way it was meant to be, but until then…

No, I’ve been running Endeavour forever and know his pain quite well. It’s almost always core packages that break it. None of the stuff from the AUR has ever caused issues. That being said he should be using btrfs and taking regular snapshots. Sometimes I feel like installing grub just to make recovering snapshots easier.

Twice this year I’ve had updates break the system, both were core packages. I just restore a snapshot then delay my next update for a couple days and it’s usually fixed.

What’s the add-on situation like? I’ve been using Iceraven because of its extensive add-on support, way beyond Mozilla’s curated list. But privacy centered it is not.

Used Waterfox for years, made the switch to Zen which has quickly become my browser of choice. Mostly because I never realize it’s running. I can have, and currently do have a million tabs open and it barely affects my system. Which is nice.

For the most part everything works together, buying non Deere implements and using them with Deere tractors is common. John Deere is a status symbol. Deere also does technology better IMO, that being said I really have no idea what auto-steer tech Case utilizes, they have to have something because no modern farmer is paying attention to their rows that much.

There are both private trackers and indexers specifically for audiobooks. Find them. The biggest tracker for it has an application process, read the rules and you’ll get an invite. Usenet… I can’t even remember how I got an invite

Every time I open Amazon it tries to get me to watch whatever drivel they’ve made lately, Fallout and Bosch are the only things I’ve watched in years from Prime Video, and downloaded them both from the high seas. I dunno what Freevee is, but I’m not watching anything on it.

There was a linux version but it seems to have gone poof. For Windows users there’s : https://yt-bat.github.io/

I’ve had many deathstars fail.

Old sysadmin trick I was taught was to freeze the drives overnight, have used this trick on multiple occasions, but once the drive heats back up it’s really dead. But you’ve generally got ample time to backup the drive before it dies.

I have a friend in Portugal who uses semaglutide that’s compounded by a local pharmacy for about 35euros a month. I, in Canada still pay $230/month for Ozempic. For $120/month I could take a 2.5mg dose similar to Wegovy which in Canada right now is $400ish

Its the same drug, just no prefilled pen. All these pharmacies that offer it in Europe aren’t accessible from North America without a vpn, and then once accessible refuse to ship to Canada.

This is why I have a seedbox. A small monthly fee to maintain access to sites that are impossible to join nowadays

Ive always had issues with RyujinX, yuzu just worked.

I made it last night, used half molasses half maple syrup. But the recipe I tried used lemon and I didn’t like the resulting flavour. Also the ginger we had wasn’t as fresh as I would have liked. I’ll try it again using a more traditional recipe.

This made its way into my YT recommendations and I watched it because… boredom. But I really want to try tis switchel thing.

Yes yes, vim good, nano bad. And rather than have discourse on the matter I’ll call you all fascists and claim you support genocide. Definitely an adult thing to do, good job you.
