Hopefully a few thousand of them were the ones responsible for making the website dog shit 😅

Comeon 0.0001%! Let’s get those last 5 people who know what an extension is but were holding out for…???

Yeah… These articles are like reading the tally marks on a prison wall. Let it go.

The return of the Disney vaults… I admit I’m concerned, but I’ve watched so much soulless bullshit at quality levels that do nothing but make the flaws easier to see… it’s not as much of a concern as it used to be. We’re whitnessing a spasm, it’ll pass. Good content comes from people that give actual fucks about what they are creating. They will always want you to experience the best version you can.

I’m not even sure how long MQA took, but the audio world came around and developed a lossless format that runs on commodity hardware and features a wide selection of popular… sound.

Yeah, we’re boned.

It’s definitely nice to have exactly the copy you want. Plus (and decidedly more on topic) you can rip any extras you want… although the naming scheme is a bit of a headache, that’s the part that really delights me.

Good news! You can pirate high quality blueray rips from the internet and since you already own a license to the content it’s not even a crime ;-)

That was my take on it too. The vague sense that you’re just going to end up with nothing but circle-jerks if you implement all these suggestions. I could also just be whooshing an attempt a levity, something obvious to a seasoned community moderator.

Hopefully my shitty attempts at socratic method rate a bit better then trolling, but I often doubt it :-)

People who downvote more than upvote tend to be the ones who get in fights a lot and say snarky, inflammatory and negative things.

Summed up my whole sense of humor in half a throwaway sentence ;-)

Seriously though, interesting read, thank you kux… you can really feel the author’s frustration and yet I can’t help but feel that they are interested in a certain kind of idealistic online community. Reddit but with a really restrictive HOA where everyone has the exact same color mailbox.

First time I’ve heard that expression and I love it :-)

I tried to order some components on Digikey a few months ago and I’m still mentally scarred. Probably did a few hundred of those things over the course of 2 weeks.

What else ya’ got under that rock? Cuz’ these things brick themselves if you miss a monthly payment on your ink subscription.

Code Name: Go Fish!

But we fixed this already, it was called TiVo…

[…]will only take a few hallucinations before no one trusts LLMs to write code or give advice

Because none of us have ever blindly pasted some code we got off google and crossed our fingers ;-)

That must be why it stopped working ;-)

Does 48 hours not getting a reverse proxy working count?

It’s FreeNAS and I don’t really hoast anything but the plex server… so 48 hours.

If deleting files counts 10 days a year, if not 1 day a year.

The point was transparency, don’t try to distract from the issue.

I have been doing it wrong this whole time! Oops 😬

You’re to kind. The insane ramblings of an insomniac ;-)

Definitely, I always ball mine up before tossing it so it’s a virtual certainty that man guys have handled my balls. I know it’s not everyone’s preference, they say you should just wash off the sheet, scrape off any large chunks and then lay it in the bin flat… I assume this is so they can easily tell if they are really just my balls or if someone might have hidden something like a half eaten burrito in one of their balls, which if I’m being honest, I have occasionally done but if that’s the case then I toss my balls in the trash can and not the recycling bin. I’m not some kind of monster! Nobody needs a load of rancid sour cream all over their hands just for trying to handle my balls.

It occurs to me that I really don’t know how many guys work in the recycling industry… it’s even possible the same guys have handled both our balls! Maybe there is someone with a weird fettish, and he takes a few balls home from work every day and his apartment is just full of other people’s balls… like, if you think about it —which I obviously do— there’s a non-zero possibility that our balls are touching right now and neither of us would ever really know.

Wow… that was a bit exhausting, I’m spent! I will be going to sleep soon and I will dream of balls all night long.

Good night friend. Hopefully I have answered your question.

So… and this is probably debatable, the point of a dedicated seed box is that there are a metric-shitton of other seed boxes on the local network (at the datacenter).

I’d argue the point of self hosting is to be able to set it up however you please. It sounds like you know what to do to be safe.

I use Mulvad for general VPN duty, though I can’t personally speak to its torrent support/speed I do see many recommend it in combination with a wireguard supporting container image. Spin a few up and let us know which ones you like and why.
