isolatedscotch,

Nice guide! However, I’ve always wondered if all of these even make sense. Like, can’t you just stream from the internet? I understand having thing on your physical storage device is an extra degree of freedom but it’s very rare for me watching something more then once. Also while you can technically run it off a Raspberry Pi, it’s not really recommended and you would need a separate PC which just adds to the cost. Meanwhile, with a simple app like Cloudstream, you can just get whatever you want whenever you want. The only advantage I see of the *arr +media server approach is not needing to connect to a VPN.

EDIT: After reading the replys just realized I should have specified by streaming sites I mean the shady ones, in my country we use different words and I see how that can confuse some people

Where to get Minecraft for Arch Linux from?

Arrrr my fellow pirates. Since I’m very unexperienced with the seas I ask for you guys, where can I get Minecraft from for Arch Linux. It’s not because I’m not willing to pay 20€ but because Microsoft is a giant bitch and I’m not willing to put money in their mouth(especially after they changed their privacy policy).

isolatedscotch,

PolyMC had some drama a while ago with a hostile takeover by a dev. The other original devs forked it and are now continuing the development at Prism launcher

edit: whoops! i made an error reading and didnt notice the two l’s

How to bypass a metered connection?

In North America, using Xfinity for reference. I want to create both a home NAS and offline Wiki/media backup. Problem is to get the amount of data I need would blow through my plan and throttle my speed. I guess I could try and do it over a longer period or download just before the billing cycle renews so even if I go over it...

isolatedscotch,

not just researchers, i used this all the time back when data was much more costly and i had only 3 gigs a month, but they patched it after a couple years

basically when i was out of data a page from the isp’s website would pop up saying “Buy more data”, and that’s all i needed to spoof

isolatedscotch,

wow! i have to admit i often leech from public trackers since my vpn doesn’t support port forwarding anymore (mullvad) so i didn’t really know of the setup to get a good ratio, only the downloading part. I’ll have to look into it. by the way, do you use a vpn with port forwarding or just use trusted private trackers?

isolatedscotch,

how did you set it up (like, what’s the process a file would do to get downloaded)? this seems a bit more complex then the normal *arr stack setup

isolatedscotch,

pw?

isolatedscotch,

im gonna have to cope by using my sideloaded modded apps!!!

isolatedscotch,

one is the old, better, unrestricted ui (old) normal reddit is the new ui, with intrusive ads, mobile app popups, age restrictions etc

isolatedscotch,

completing tasks? how do i learn this wizardry?

isolatedscotch,

welp, turns out i was wrong, thanks for the heads up

after some fiddling, i found that the voice recorder app i used to test where the microphone was only utilized the top microphone, while calls and voice messages (at least on signal) use the bottom one

isolatedscotch, (edited )

google pixel 6 pro user here, nope, at the top, because fuck the consumers, that’s why

on a more serious note, normally it doesnt pick up too much external audio but if i’m in a crowded place i have to turn it upside down and back up constantly to speak and then hear

isolatedscotch,

bonus points if you somewhere where you can go for a walk at night, 4am is the perfect hour when even the pubs have closed and nobody’s awake yet

isolatedscotch,

*adults only

sorry, students doing homework at 3am

isolatedscotch,

fun fact, paid chatgpt (yes i have sinned, i pay for it) has a wolfram plugin so a badly worded question gets worded better by chatgpt and then forwarded to wolfram
