It could be just a kid doing odd jobs to upgrade their computer.

That’s what the matrix wants you to think /s

Pretty good. Downloads on the main app has been something that held people back.

Moving your port over to a nonstandard one is not a solution (unless the problem you experience is too many logs from sshd, and even then, logrotate exists), its security by obscurity which doesn’t really solve anything at all. Only way your server will be safe is by ensuring the packages on your server are up to date and that you harden it to the point where it isn’t too much of nuisance.

I don’t think L1/PlayReady SL3K will happen. Imagine Google telling people that in order to view content on their website they need to use a competitor’s browser. Sure, technical people like you and I understand what’s happening behind the scenes, but average joe will just think Google fumbled it and can’t make it work with their own browser, it’s bad press for them. I also think that at least for now there’s too many desktop users to be able to pull it off. They’ll have to tell all the desktop users to go fuck themselves in order to do that, and that will get a good amount of people pissed off.

They’re also facing problems ripping books from Amazon, sadly.

It is aimed at members (often new)of private trackers, a hobby which often assumes you’ve already got a 170tb NAS at home that just needs content to fill it. This is evidenced by the fact they inherit HDBs “golden popcorn” system and tier their groups pretty high up.

Seems like one of them bad apples. Hopefully the admins of their home instance deal with them soon.

I think TRaSH serves as a good base. Their custom filters can be instantly imported using recyclarr and give you a general idea of how custom filters are meant to be used (which can be very overwhelming when you’re new to the ordeal) but sadly I disagree with TRaSH a lot on their group tiers for media formats. I think they make some mistakes placing some encoders as high as they do. (for example: micro encodes from PTer and BHDStudio shouldn’t be in the BluRay groups at all, as some of their releases are compressed harder than WEB releases from streaming services. I download BluRay encodes because I want it to be compressed to the point where it still looks identical to the BluRay it was sourced from.) Once you’re in the game long enough you just make up your own mind on what release groups should be prioritized over others.

As for your question regarding staying within the same file system, the answer is yes. Moving things over to the SSD does two things for you. 1) for every file you also need a duplicate on the SSD, not very efficient. 2) there’s not much to gain from this unless you’re expecting a large amount of simultaneous traffic. An HDD can carry about ~20 streams of 1080p content (as most releases are compressed to 8-10mbps) which is more than enough for most households.

I’d keep the SSD for seeding honestly, so that you can build up buffer on the trackers you’re on, but for most it’s still perfectly doable with HDDs only.

Not sure what’s up with the self-entitlement but I got shocking news: I don’t own you anything. You asked for a brief explanation and I told you where to go find it. Instead of writing that snarky comment you could’ve instead used the web for its original purpose and conduct your own research and not bug strangers on the internet to do your bidding.

There are a lot of thorough guides on vidhelp along with dumped L3 keys.

Well… the only available option to them for DRM that will work on all devices is Widevine L3 which is entirely bypassable. Spend a few hours on the net and you can figure out how to do it too.

How is this supposed to convince people to buy a console that’s already selling poorly?

This ad is based on reality because if they quit Slack then the company will go over to Teams which everyone knows, makes its users wanted to dropkick their computers.

I think they’ll scrap it after two generations. Just to keep the anti trust investigations at bay.

I don’t have a single funko pop or Star Wars toy or whatever. I have a Keychron keyboard that cost me $70, while it is more costly than the average membrane I like mechanical ones. I never buy new if I can (usually this is a time constraint, I.e I broke my phone and I need to replace it quick one because my job relies it). I Adblock everywhere I possibly can to not see the ads but I genuinely believe I’m immune to advertising.

My ThinkPad x230 will soon turn 13 (since it was manufactured, I picked it up second hand from a business that went bankrupt). It’s still alive and kicking, just not with Windows. The hardware is dated, but for what I do it’s good enough. I only replaced the battery and the screen. I don’t care for instagram or any of that crap, this machine chugged along for 13 years, it will chug at least for another 5. Don’t let hardware manufacturers normalize dunking perfectly capable good hardware into a landfill because it hurts their profits. If you need any further proof just look into the old Apple hardware modding and some of the stuff they pulled off.

Will be settled out of court.

I’d even argue the contrary. Granted, I’m not subscribed to them so I only have the free tier available but I don’t think the discovery algorithm differs between the tiers. After a while the algorithm is basically stuck in a loop repeating the same tracks over and over. It’s what made me cancel right after the free trial ended. Way better to find new music on RED’s top 10 or last.fm

Bluetooth protocol uses AAC to compress audio. If you use lossless audio with Bluetooth headphones it’ll sound the same because either way you’re always listening to compressed audio
