Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They're down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn't fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It's also one of the most recommended Lemmy's with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world

Speaking very broadly here, I define conservatism as needing an out of power group to shame/ostracize. Looking at Japan, 98% of the population is ethnically Japanese. 2% is immigrants. Hell I bet most of the people reading this already know the Japanese word for outsider without me even having to say it. It's a lock that Japanese conservatives are every bit as shitty as English or American conservatives.

They'll let old.reddit sit around for a little while longer because of the push back they got from API changes. But I suspect by this time next year it'll be gone too and we'll get another wave leaving reddit.

From what I understand, the KDE team used to use OpenSUSE as their distro of choice when testing KDE. This has changed now to KDE Neon being the flagship KDE experience. Also OpenSUSE will install Nvidia Drivers during install if you select that option. You'll have to enable the Nvidia repo later on too. But it's dead simple. Definitely give OpenSUSE a try. I've been using for a few months now on my laptop and it's fantastic. It just works, including BTRFS snapshotting, right out of the box.

Its like the old adage, you can't get something that is Good, Fast and Cheap. Pick two.

Jellyfin is free, but requires a more technical set up and does lack some minor features that Plex has and client availability is not as good (No Xbox/Playstation apps as far as I know). On the other hand Plex has a more feature rich product that is just that, a product. Plex Pass is not required, but it is very useful for server owners. It's a tough sell to most people, and as a lifetime Plex pass holder, I would say the lifetime pass is the only one worth getting. Going month to month or evenly yearly is a huge waste of money.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Prigozhin is dead, everything coming out of Russia right now is fake news propaganda. They said he met with Putin? Prigozhin and co shot down Russian helicopters and killed Russian pilots. There is no fucking way this guy was then allowed to meet with Putin days later. Russian intelligence scooped this guy up and he's dead 100%.

Choosing death by starvation is not a choice. Work or die, slave.

Lemmy is decentralized but completely connected together. I am on lemm.ee but I can still subscribe and comment to Lemmy.world or any number of other communities. The website you type in to visit Lemmy doesn't matter. All Lemmy instances go to the same place. OP is arguing that a large centralized instance is bad which I don't think anybody can disagree with. Lemmy.world has been down like every day. Tons of stability/DDOS issues but that only affects communities/users localized on that instance. Problem is that's like half of the active Lemmy users right now.

I would say the benefit of OpenSUSE is that everything is preconfigured to work right out of the box, including btrfs snapshotting with snapper. Once you boot it's time to download apps, and go. Very windows like for those who just want the system to work. Updates are one click.

Plex Pass has two features which I consider to be invaluable. Intro/Credit skip, when an intro or credit sequence is playing a button on screen will pop up allowing you to skip to the end. This even works well with movies with end credit scenes, it will just skip right to them. The other is transcoding, which if you're streaming locally is not really required. Personally, I have dozens of users and some require transcoding because their internet connections are slower than my blu ray rips. Join us at !plex@lemmy.ml

This comment is me, last year. Its really not that hard don't let it intimidate you! All you really need is 3 things:

1. Download Client. Usenet has file size limits, so files are broken into zip archives. A download client such as SABnzbd will automatically unpack for you.
2. Usenet provider. Such as Eweka (Based in Europe) or Newshosting. This will cost about 5-10 bucks a month.
3. Usenet indexer. Indexer is used for searching usenet. Think pirate bay. I personally use https://nzbgeek.info. NZB geek costs 1 dollar a month or 80 for a lifetime membership.

Yeah usenet costs money, but god damn its such a premium experience. Every single download is going to cap out your connection, never wait for seeds again.

Installed Tumbleweed on my laptop last weekend after giving up on Arch. I realized I just don't have the time Arch demands. OpenSUSE has been pretty nice so far, everything seems to just work, I can't complain!

While I think this should pass, don't hold your breath. Mayor Frey will probably veto it. He's a very moderate, business friendly Democrat and our governor also vetoed a similar bill from the state legislature earlier this year. Right or wrong, they are concerned that any disruption of Uber/Lyft services would be extremely detrimental to people who depend on them. Public transportation in MN is really bad and this is one of the major ways people get around.

Oh my god, I remember the Maher bit, you could tell Bill was getting pissed off about this guy coming on and spewing conspiracy theories. Actively rooting against Brand ever since! I believe all these allegations are probably true, as Brand seems to have a very tenuous relationship with reality.

Do you use a vpn with usenet? Is it even necessary as you aren’t hosting like with torrents?

I don't use a vpn because it would really slow down the speed and everything is downloading via https anyway so its encrypted. Your ISP will see you hitting usenet servers, but thats all. Milage may vary with how tolerate your ISP is towards this.

Have you found it easier to find less popular titles/things that there just doesn’t seem to be seeded torrents for?

Absolutely. The insane thing about usenet is retention. If it was uploaded 10 years ago to usenet, its still there. Available at max speed. No more dead torrents. I was in the same boat with users requesting stuff I couldn't find, with usenet its way way better.

Hard agree with Usenet. If you're doing sonarr/radar stuff save yourself tons of stress and hook into usenet

Chicago style is with sauce on top, Detroit style is rectangle deep dish because they originally baked the pizza in oil pans. Or so the legend goes.

To add to this outstanding display of rationalism. The vaccines are waaay more effective at preventing COVID than masks will ever be. Dump the mask (if you are a healthy adult) and get boosted!

lol imagine being so poor you can't afford 10 dollars a month
