Sadly it works for YouTube. Yesterday I noticed a friend disabled uBlock Origin on YouTube. They don’t care that there’s workarounds, they’d rather watch 2 min ads than read up about something they are not interested in.
If I spend half an hour to find an implement a workaround (because finding ways around YT’s advertising is not my hobby) then I’d have to watch 60 unskippable 30 second ads to break even, every single time they upgrade their cat-and-mouse. I don’t watch that much youtube in a month, probably not in 3 months.
Did you tell your friend ads waste far more time than the 3-5 second delay you get on Firefox with ublock? I mean, I get someone would hesitate to install another extension like User-Agent Switcher because you don’t really want to trust it, but even then just using ublock is still faster than watching ads.
Yes, and my question was: using the user-agent switcher, which user agent do you switch to in order to get rid of the 5 second wait before the site loads?
Just select Chrome. Google uses the delay specifically on Firefox. I only enable it for Youtube and Gmail URLs because it can mess with other websites.
I’m really surprised by this, specially since I cancelled Netflix over a year ago myself…
It’s like renting movies that can be taken away at any time since you don’t own them. And ads can be introduced whenever. Not to mention poor streaming quality on top of all this.
While i would sate that in a slightly different way i do agree with you, also i recommend you to remove word these, it would enhance quality of this statement.
No matter how good Proton gets, native will still be better. Also, trying to find support on running pirated games on Linux will get you kicked out of most forums.

If Proton sucks for a game, try a different Proton version (maybe even Proton GE), if it still sucks, try a KVM with PCI passthrough. If you don’t wanna do that shit, dual boot.

The reason that an average pirate, let alone an average user does not have enough time to keep investigating shit that breaks down frequently.
At some point everyone feels that the time you spend on setting up and getting things to work is better utilised in using a more standardized solution that doesn’t need investigating.
by “most of the internet” I mean a HUGE majority of the websites you interact with being hosted on servers that run, you guessed it, Linux. Additionally, your WiFi router probably runs linux, almost any non-iPhone runs Linux, IOT devices (say, security cameras) usually run Linux, and Linux is even on Mars.
No, not really. Distros like Ubuntu work pretty much out of the box. Dead simple to install, and easy enough to use that anyone should be able to handle it.
It’s only tricky and confusing if you try to do more advanced things.
As far as we know, TachiyomiSY has the same relationship with Mihon as it did with Tachiyomi previously. Maybe it’ll change since SY’s dev is also said to work on Mihon, but we’ll see.
At the moment Mihon is the same as Tachiyomi with changed branding.
Kakao (or whatever they’re called) were going after everyone involved, so Tachiyomi has been deprecated, one of the devs forked it and will continue development.
A long time Tachiyomi developer made the commits making branding changes to Mihon, so they might work together. But as they didn’t fork TachiyomiSY, its dev might continue work on it too.
I have read that the SY devs will now fork from mihon, and that they will develop both I think. No idea about the tachi dev. If that’s the case then I guess that that dev also worked on SY, or they talked or whatever. I’ll keep an eye on the commits and repo.
The devs just said fuckit afterwards, as you do when you get a lawsuit saying your about to be so far in debt because of your side project that your whole life will be turned up side down.
I’ve never gotten comfortable with not owning CDs or DVDs. In fact, if I really really like a movie or album, I obtain a physical copy. If it’s an independent artist, I’ll even buy it directly from the record label.
And so far, I’ve been able to stream everything else when I just want to get my entertainment fix ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m in the same boat. I like having physical copies of my favorite games, music, movies, and shows. I also like supporting the artists/productions, so it’s a win-win that i can buy their products. I’ve always struggled to understand why someone would pay the same price (or nearly as much) for a strictly-digital copy.
Making everything fully digital has its advantages but i never once thought it would act as a complete replacement for physical media.

Convenience. I’ve been in situations where it seemed easier at the time to just buy a movie on Amazon. For example, if I’m on vacation or a work trip and I really want to see something.
But that was before I learned about which sites were safe to use for streaming and had high quality content.
Also, I’ve learned that my library still has a large DVD collection, so I apprise myself of that.
If you “RAID and backup enough” any chepo used hard drive is a good and valid. :)
Generally speaking datacenter drives with manufacturer warranty will be a good option because they’re easy to get replaced by the manufacturer without much fuzz. For any second hard drive I look at bad blocks > count of starts > time they’ve been running and if it isn’t an absurd number they should be fine.
If you put the effort in to get a wide range of sources/batches AND monitor your disks regularly: Agreed
But if you get a few from the same manufacturing batch/source? Then there are shockingly decent odds that they will fail at roughly the same time. Which is a huge problem if you aren’t monitoring your disks and able to “recover” from however many failures before they take down the array.
I completely agree with you, no discussion there. Active monitoring is required. Backup in 3-2-1 would solve the same source batch issue. Some backups should be kept spun down / cold storage so the likelihood of failure at the same time is close to none. Still I would mix the production and backups HDDs to avoid that.
I guess my general approach in my personal life is that I would rather spend a bit more on some refurbs of server grade hdds from a reputable outlet. Because once I start assuming all of my drives will fail at any moment I need much more hierarchical storage and a lot more replacement drives and so forth. And my actual off site backups are a much smaller subset of my data that is in an encrypted volume in a cloud storage provider’s bucket.
And in my professional life: You are paying for the warranties and support contracts. If you can’t afford to run your own storage then you should just call Amazon and ask for a good deal.

Oh yeah. Or don’t have storage at all, because if you can’t afford it you most likely don’t need it :P
