stop manually browsing torrent sites! You’re wasting your time.
Download qBittorrent. Download Jackett. Configure Jackett to work inside qBittorrent. You now have a way to search hundreds of trackers all at once within seconds and find literally anything you want.
I have all of these programs running on raspberry pi, including Flood (mobile friendly UI for qBittorrent, also supports Deluge), and plex media server. It can’t be easier to watch movies and tv shows that way.
Everything is running on Pi. But I have Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of ram. Actually I have Raspberry Pi 400, which is basically 4GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4, with slightly overclocked CPU and passive cooling, inside small keyboard, but I only got that because Raspberry Pi 4 was out of stock.
Prowlarr has a prettier UI but the torrent sites they support are maintained by Jackett. It noone gives credit, at some point Jackett won’t be maintained and Prowlar neither.
Disclaimer: I’m qBittorrent, Jackett, Flaresolverr and Bazarr developer.
It has limitations, but qBittorrent is used by 40M users aprox and we are only 3-5 active developers. Managing the open issues don’t let us time to work on new features…
I was looking into this like last week but paused it because I’m an idiot who can’t figure out which package to grab off their git lol. I think it is amdx64 but I have intel everything, I know it isn’t arm though.
I’ve been progressing through Divided Reigns. Very indie, retro JRPG. The story reminds me of FFIV & FFVI in good ways. Battles are much more involved then the aforementioned classics though: while remaining turn based there are plenty of types, effects and skills involved. A rage meter brings in some form of planning ahead between turns, somewhat like Octopath Travellers or Bravely Default. All around solid game. Only downside is the dialogs being sometimes pretty silly.
Been playing Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla as well. So here’s my theory: inside Ubisoft there are two wolves. The first wolf is made up of thousands of creative, talented, diverse artisans working hard to make the open world formula fun and beautiful. The second wolf is a handful of suits looking for ways to milk the first wolf’s output for money in all sorts of shit ways. I’ve found out that if you put the Ubisoft launcher in offline mode, you’ve blocked the second wolf. As for the game itself, it remains faithful to the series. There are some welcome improvements, such as the end of garbage equipment loot. In terms of storyline, I can’t say I’m feeling especially involved so far. There is a certain cruelty to the protagonist which I struggle with. On the other hand I must also say that at times the game feels unapologetically woke which I thoroughly enjoy. The side quests are also super goofy.
::: spoiler I’m in the USA. Southern California more specifically.
All shipping insurance offered by logistics carriers in the USA is from a 3rd party company. Read the fine print and you’ll discover this detail.
No, you do not use any kind of reserve price. The listing must clearly show that there are no catches or caveats whatsoever. You must have the confidence and nerve to make a fully transparent commitment. This is where my perspective as a Buyer is driving me to keep an overview mindset focused on the big picture statistics where anomalies are not relevant to overall results even when stuff is expensive and scary. Seriously, you probably have no idea how nerve-racking it is to spend millions of dollars on brick and mortar preseason orders knowing that, if you get it wrong, the whole business could easily fail. In those situations, you rely on your statistics and niche familiarity. I had a few items that did not perform as well as I would have liked, but not by more than 15%-20% at most. The majority of these were in February. February is by far the worst month for eBay auctions. The post holiday slump, Valentine’s day, and the Super bowl are massive killers of free cash on the shortest month too. Collectively, my experience and pattern recognition about the Sunday following the 15th of the month is largely from noting auction performance. I tried a ton of stuff to sell on different days and times. Like eBay will publish the traffic volume on the website as higher during different times, but no one is actually taking a $4k purchase seriously when they are screwing around in the office after 3 pm on a Thursday.
eBay does not keep sold data available for more than 60 days publicly. At the time, I brute force tracked all bicycle sales on eBay using a spreadsheet when I did research. So if I was given a bike to consign, I uses all of my available data to come up with an average sold history for similar items by age, wear, size, category, etc. I also tracked the seller and quality of the listing description and photos. Once I had a solid number for an established sold price, I subtracted 40% of that value for all eBay fees, then 40% of the remaining amount was for my effort. I promised or directly paid out/(shop credited) to the item owner for the remaining value. So the variability was actually coming out of my pocket and margin. When I said that a well documented and photographed listing was worth 10%-15% more than the average sold history, and how I did listings that were so detailed, - this was no joke and built into the business model as my primary motivator. Any margin I made above the sold history average went into my pocket.
Ultimately, eBay is charging too much overall to make this a viable consignment business to survive on its own. It works for something like the overburden losses for a retail chain at the scale we were running.
I also have a very deep understanding of the bicycle market, so I simply knew what would not sell with auctions based on the volume that the item represents inside the market. Like selling a high end velodrome track bike in a no reserve eBay auction would be insane. There are only a dozen or so velodromes in the USA and only one that is a world class indoor drome in Los Angeles from the 1984 Olympics. There are maybe 300-500 serious track riders in the country; of those maybe 60-100 that will fit the size; of those maybe 6-10 that need a new ride; of those maybe 1-2 that occasionally browse eBay. The odds of getting 3-5 serious bidders on that listing are pretty much nil, so that can only go up as a Buy it Now listing. It is simply the wrong market for the item. You would see this too as an artifact of no sold history for the item. My overall intuition and abstraction abilities play a role in my success in this area. If all of this is hard to follow, you’ll likely struggle with my techniques. I am always at this level of analysis and detail. I enjoy it, but it comes natural for me. I don’t have to focus to abstract and make sense of intuitive statistics that are ballpark enough to work out.
Hopefully that makes sense and helps with perspective.
Whatever you’re doing now, you should be paid a lot in marketing, data analysis or sales consultancy. You’re an artist who mastered multiple crafts and the real value is the street sense and willingness to go with your gut when the data thins out. Thanks for sharing.
They’re only allowed to use one hand, so the competitors always have their off hand tucked in or hooked onto their clothes so that arm can be relaxed and ignored.
Privacy isn’t the right to say anything digitally to anyone without consequence. Privacy is the right that it has to be someone involved in the situation who discloses conversations and not a third party. But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that someone who thinks attaching a link to the creative commons license to all their comments does anything to stop an AI from digesting their comments wouldn’t understand what the fight for digital privacy represents
Nothing of what you said even matches the definition of privacy. Good job on getting that wrong and not understanding anything about licenses nor computing 👏
OK, so you’d be fine with everything you said in private being recorded and then shared with the world? Are you confident you’ve never said anything that’s offensive to anybody? You don’t harbor any opinions you’d only share in private? No information you’d rather keep private? “As long as a participant in the conversation shared it, it’s fair game”, right?
No one’s posting everything that everyone’s said. And if i had an opinion i wanted kept private i’d keep it fucking private
He chose to express a contentious, offensive opinion to another party… in a written form on a electronic medium - THE single most insecure easily shared thing imaginable. And not only that, from the looks of it did so when it wasn’t even within the topic of conversation. Don’t act fucking shocked pikachu when that shit leaks out
I say “privacy matters” and that makes me “a [sik] evil transphone [sik]”. This is why people don’t take you seriously. “You’re either with us or you’re against us”. Tribal thinking, just like the MAGA crowd.
Perhaps! I’m a big fan of immutable distros. This meme was inspired by being called an asshole for agreeing with another commment, calling it a skill issue when this one commenter flat out refused to acknowledge ANY of the positive aspects of them.
So you made a meme about how your opponent is completely irrational and you are a paragon of logic and reason, and then proceeded to declare yourself the winner?
I really didn’t declare myself the winner. IMO, I won’t have to when the software will do that when this way of working usurps container-style development as the de-facto standard.
As an actual old man who was able to adapt, I simply pointed out that OP sounds like an old man, unable to acknowledge an obvious trend where immutable systems are clearly gaining popularity and are seen by many as the correct way to provision a mission-critical system.
I suspect the tooling isn’t quite there yet for desktop use cases.
If I were to try to replicate my current desktop in an immutable model, it would involve a lot of manual labour in scripting or checkpointing every time I installed or configured something, to save a few hours of labour in 2 years time when I get a new drive or do a full install.
The case is easier for defined workload servers and dev environments that are regularly spun up fresh.

If you have only one system, you might find the benefits not to be worth the bikeshedding effort.
However, I suspect that you’d be surprised with how easy it can be using home-manager. I have literally nothing that I need to do to a newly compiled NixOS system from my config because EVERYTHING is declared and provided inside of that config.
If you don’t mind, can you give me an example of something in your config that you think is impossible or difficult to port to the Nix style? I’d be happy to attempt to Nixify it to prove my point. I’ve pretty much figured out how to do everything in the Nix way.
and I don’t mind if I end up being incredibly wrong on this point and promise to be intellectually honest about it if I am indeed wrong. It just sounds like a fun exercise for me.
I guess the assumption is more that for me, a fresh install is often about decluttering as much as anything-- the five Wayland compositors, three music players, and six pseudo-IDEs I tried and didn’t like don’t need to follow me to the next build.
In a conventional install, that just means “don’t check the checkbox in the installer next time”. In a Nix-style system, this is a conscious process of actively deciding to remove things from the stored configuration, no?
I suppose the closest I’ve gotten was recently migrating my setup from a desktop to a new laptop. Mostly copying over some config from my home directory, but even then, I wanted enough different stuff-- removing tools I don’t use on the laptop, adding things like battery monitoring and Wi-Fi control-- that it involved some reconfiguration.
I’d actually argue the opposite in regards to clutter. If I switch to a new config without the software I don’t want anymore, that software goes away entirely when I do a garbage collect and there’s nothing left over like there might be in ‘’~/.config’’ on a non-immutable system.
IMO, the actual realization of Dolstra’s dream is flakes and home manager. They allow you to boil your whole config down to a git repo where you can track changes and rollback the lock file if needed.
I find it nice to open my config in an IDE and search by string inside of my config where I can comment out whatever I don’t need. Laziness also makes that pretty convenient too. Nix will only attempt to interpret what is accessible in code. If I comment out an import, that whole part of the config seamlessly shuts off. It’s quite elegant.
I’m even more envious of the atomicity of GUIX but IMO, it’s a little too much building the world from scratch for a newb like me.
What skill? This is not a fucking game lmao. I don’t use an immutable distro because I have better things to do with my time than to try and climb a steep learning curve using some very questionable documentation. I can acknowledge the benefits, but I also acknowledge it’s gonna take me time to get there. And I judge that the time investment is not worth it.
Clearly, it’s not a skill issue with you but with the dude that inspired this, my assessment was that he was flat out unwilling to learn and flat out unwilling to acknowledge that there er clearly some benefits to this way. Seems like you already grasp it but don’t feel like committing the time. I respect that much more than the blind dismissal that inspired my meme. ✌️
When you have the talk, make sure they know that the two rules to follow like gospel are to always use protection, and to never use something that doesn’t have a flared base.
Probably save any further interventions for if you discover that one of those gift cards was used by a horse loving kid to get a flared base and head.
Just use vscode. It’s basically the standard text editor for everything nowadays. Eventually you may want to start exploring vim/emacs but no reason to prioritise that now when all you need is something you can write code in that gives you squigglies when you do something wrong.
Every time I’ve done this with an EFI system, what I did was copy paste each partition one at a time using gparted, after making sure the target drive is gpt initialized.
I dunno, opening the package to see that it’s a dildo might give some peace of mind that they won’t be using the produce.
Now I’m wondering what would be an appropriate age to have that awkward “It’s ok if you want to play, it’s just much safer and more sanitary to use toys meant for the purpose rather than improvising with anything that is the right shape” conversation.
The best story I ever heard about this was a single dad who had to take his teenage daughter to the doctor because she got an infection from inserting a toothbrush handle or something else that wasn’t sanitary, and instead of giving her ANY kind of scolding or negative judgement, he was very loving and helped her laugh it off, and then he just left on her pillow a $100 gift card to Adam & Eve or some other large, commercial, adult site that lets you buy gift cards.
I don’t think it’s appropriate to even suggest an age here, but I think as a parent you will know when it’s time to have the talk/leave the card.
Yeah around here we pay for it if we were gonna like rent a cabin or something at the state park but it’s literally a govt service so it’s free to just like go there and hang out… very surprised to hear that isn’t the case everywhere.
Not if you have a library card! But the fees go to help keep them clean and well maintained, which they need more when they’re used more. Of course they also get funding directly from taxes.
Places like parks and libraries are places where you can expect to go without the expectation of paying money. If I visit as a person from out of town I shouldn’t have to go get a library card to get into a park for free in my opinion.
One use of the taxes is to preserve the beauty and make it available to everyone except where it’s too fragile.
A lot of the regulations exist to mitigate the evils caused by massive concentrations of humans, like air pollution.
But hey, you go ahead and stay where you are. That’ll keep a place open for another of the many people who move away, experience life in those other states, and then come home again.
It’s weird how you want the beauty, but don’t seem to understand how it stays that way.
It’s maintenance. It’s user fees to fund maintenance.
You may think that’s socialist, but really it’s not. Proper socialism would be a portion of income tax being allocated toward funding a maintained park without added user fees for residents.
It’s usually cheaper overall for people using the park, but people who don’t use the park complain about their taxes being used to foot the bill; the same as they complain about paying for fire protection service they don’t use.
Libraries don’t charge me, that’s the beauty of it. I can exist there with or without a library card. Drink water, use the bathroom, read all day etc. The taxes pay for the maintenance and resources.
Can’t taxes pay for state park maintenance behind the scenes the same way rather than charging at the door? I get they want money from visitors using the park but there’s things like fuel taxes and hotel taxes and campground fees that could pay into that too. I don’t know what the actual fee for entry would be but still I think that having a fee to exist in nature feels kind of dystopian to me idk.
