I use Vetted (previously lustre) to get information. Then find the reviews on YouTube.

I also use WireCutter and Rtings.com for information collection.

The article is dated in 2014 and stated that Daniel Houghton had been running it for 1 year.

In December 2020, NC2 Media sold Lonely Planet to Red Ventures for an undisclosed amount.

So I think he did fine.

The basic concept is the same. The URL you provide is specifically for Windows.

Like mastondon.world admin said, you can always block the threads.net at user level.

The instance itself will wait and see.

We won’t pre-emptively defederate from Threads. Users can themselves decide to block threads. (If we were to defederate, users can’t anymore decide to un-block themselves.)

We will keep a close eye on all developments with Threads joining the Fediverse, and when we see trouble, we might reconsider this statement.

RARBG like 4K rips, any group making similar sized movies?

Sorry if this was asnwered before, but couldn’t find it. I can’t seem to find any groups that usually release really small sized 4k rips like rarbg used to do. Movies went from ~5GB to ~20GB, and I really can’t tell that much difference in quality that justifies 4x the size....

You should read the trash guide.

The quotef rule seems to come from the Plex.tv. And the forum threat said first four rules are irrelevant these days.

The first 4 ‘rules’ generally are no longer as important as they once were, but may still be a good thing to bear in mind.

And I want OP to know that

shame that most x265 groups microsize the releases or use the x264 as source what results in low quality releases. And the few groups that do use the correct source suffer from it.

I used to use subliminal command line to download subtitles.

subscene is the website I used to find (no api) if subliminal failed.

tun ,

I didn’t use any API account (opensubtutle was still free and open to public).

  1. most of the time I got a hit (subliminal supports many sites with API access)
  2. If missed, I check the file with mediainfo and check fps.
  3. If there is release info and fps, I manually downloaded by searching with FPS.
  4. If fps is correct and timing is out I use subler to correct the time after manually syncing time with VLC or MPV

These days, *arr setup (according to trash guide) and Plex pass automatically get me the subtitles.

Firefox based qutebrowser alternatives

I played a bit with qutebrowser recently and I love it’s keyboard driven nature but it is based on QtWebEngine which is based on Chromium and I want something based on Firefox. I know that there are extensions for Firefox that bring Vim keybindings but qutebrowser is much better in terms of that. So, is there any Firefox based...

tun , (edited )

I have tried qutebrowser, luakit (another WebKit based vim-inspired browser) and Firefox with tridactyl.

Firefox (with vimium or vimium-c) experience is not like qutebrowser or luakit. But with tridactyl, the experience is quite similar.

Some people already using Linux as daily driver and booting to windows is not ease for them.

The culprit is AdGuardDNS settings.

My first thought was “buy linux compatible hardwares” - laptop and printer.

According to your reply, paper printing is no longer a big deal.

For the document, I thought Microsoft 365 will do.

Video codecs are available but some distro choose not to include it by default.

Most of the time linux is no go for professionals with locked-in softwares such as Adobe graphics design suite, AutoCAD, etc.

In my country, the frequent black-outs put a lot of industries and businesses towards solar. The alternatives such as generators are more expensive and the solar are now cheaper in long term.

In 1990s and 2000s, we used generators, batteries and inverters or candles depending on how much you could afford.

Any differences between Namecheap and Spaceship?

I used to have a really cheap domain from Namecheap before, and I used Cloudflare as my DNS.
