it’s a standard cartoon bone shape, there are others in the meat lump.

Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to piracy in If you love piracy you should consider voting/joining your local Pirate Party

In ranked choice voting systems, single issue parties have a meaningful purpose, they don’t need a full platform covering every topic of running a country, they just need to show the major party that gets their preference flow that people support their cause and they need to take note of where those votes came from

Massive first preference vote losses maybe, but the preference flows would still trickle down to two major parties, it always does.

That preference flow data can then be used to shape future legislation to keep voters on their side and even to pull swing voters from the other sides, or at least that’s how it is supposed to work when the media isn’t actively working against you.

“hey we only won because of votes from this minor single issue party, maybe we should consider our position on that issue”

might be from one of those FPTP countries where democracy is barely holding on in the first place.

I’ve been voting pirate party for years now, though thankfully I am in a country with ranked choice / preference voting so I’m not damaging democracy by voting for a third party, in fact I believe I’m actively helping democracy by using the tools given to me.

In Australia they are now part of the Fusion Party, which combines pro-science, pro-choice, pro-environment and secular minor parties.

there is some evidence of shadowbanning, where your comment isnt removed and you can still see it, but it is hidden from others.

Yea I have 100tb of these weird Linux ISOs, I have no idea how they even got there either.

Gotta download at least a few actual Linux ISOs to be a real datahoarder.

Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to piracy in Which are the best SFW extensions for Tachiyomi?

If you are into self hosting there is a very good tachiyomi plugin for Komga which is a manga and comics server you can self host and fill with your own content, it also supports connecting to multiple servers.

I have 2 Komga instances running on my home server (one for normal manga and one for the… other kind), content is collected by FMD2 which automatically downloads series I have set to monitor (similar to sonarr but less polished). then in tachiyomi I have access to all of that content streamed across the web to my phone and boox e-reader anywhere in the world. it’s pretty neat but the only missing feature is synchronising read status and position across devices.

Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to piracy in Is there an *arr service for video games?

It’s probably possible and safe for roms, but then there are already more or less complete packs for basically every console and retro computer ever made so it’s not that useful.

Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to piracy in Where to find Usenet black Friday deals?

I’s not a problem at all, it’s pretty sweet, just getting only about 400-500 mbits when I can get over 900 combined when testing with torrents and other services. ABB say they absolutely, unequivocally do not throttle usenet. So I just suspect it is a limitation of my server setup and I’m too lazy to try to find the cause…

Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to piracy in Where to find Usenet black Friday deals?

Oh man, I feel you, I was on dial up well into the 2000’s and the first time I had anything better than a couple of megabit on crappy DSL with bad lines was just a couple of years ago when I was finally able to get 100/40. now I have fibre with a gigabit down, but still only 50meg upload.

Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to piracy in Where to find Usenet black Friday deals?

You’re in Aus right? How are your speeds?

I currently use both NewsgroupNinja and NewsDemon combined but still cant get past about half a gig a second but it very well may be a limitation in my download server somewhere.

Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to selfhosted in Plex/Jellyfin Transcode Performance on x86 MiniPCs or a ZimaBoard

The best way to improve plex/jellyfin performance is to make sure your players support what you are trying to watch and transcoding should only be needed if you are sharing remotely to someone with either slow internet or a crappy old player.

Of course, with hardware encoding the chip in that little computer can do what you are asking, including doing it at 4K if needed.
