raptir,

Yup. We had one but after we had a smouldering fire in our outdoor trash can we got several for different points in the house. We also have escape ladders in the bedrooms.

raptir,

I love Tidal + Plex. I already had a Plex server set up, but the integration with tidal is great. Good music quality, pays the artists well, and no gaps in the library that aren’t also there in the other services. When you add Plex you can then fill in those gaps with your own music files.

raptir,

If anything it is dangerous as it will still exit even if changes cannot be saved.

raptir,

Is that a polio joke? Dang.

    raptir,

    You can’t just install an arbitrary Linux distro on an Android tablet.

    If you want to run Linux, buy something like the Juno or Librem tablets.

    raptir,

    Ounces become pounds, bro.

    raptir,

    I thoroughly enjoyed all of these today.

    raptir,

    Don’t be afraid to customize your install with YaST. You can add/remove packages before you do the installation.

    You’ll need packman if you need restricted codecs for video.

    Update with zypper dup as a general rule.

    raptir,

    So these children are driven to work due to poverty right? So isn’t the answer to try to address that rather than to say “stop using cocoa harvested by child labor?” Like I’m totally pro-non-child-labor-cocoa, but wouldn’t the kids just get other jobs then?

    raptir,

    It’s not exactly comedy. What do you want us to call Earth porn? ”Reallyprettypicturesofearthbutwithoutanyhumancreations"?

    raptir,

    EarthPorn is typically exclusive of animal pictures though from what I’ve seen.

    raptir,

    Yes. This usage originated well before reddit. “Car porn”, “gun porn,” “disaster porn.”

    raptir,

    The main issue with Usenet is retention. I don’t mean that you should worry too much about retention on your particular providers, but just as a general concept the idea that after 10-15 years files go away means that it can be tough to find older media, especially media that is not popular enough for people to reupload.

    People always talk about needing multiple servers but I just use Astraweb and I have been fine. I have a block plan on another server somewhere but I honestly didn’t even set it up when I reconfigured nzbget.

    Movies and TV shows have been super easy to find on Usenet, but even with a couple private indexers I have found music and books to be hit or miss. I use Tidal with Plex and the $10 per month has been worth it to me simply because I listen to a ton of different music. That said, probably 80% of what I listen to has been available on Usenet.

    I read a lot of nerdy books (fantasy and sci-fi) and that’s been easy enough to find, but my wife’s more mainstream tastes have actually been trickier.

    I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe

    I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...

    raptir,

    Netflix is terrible but Disney+ 4k with HDR looks decent.

    raptir,

    I use Linux but the only issues I have are 1) lower quality, since the best quality is usually restricted to Chrome and Edge on Windows and Max, and 2) no downloads.

    raptir,

    We were downloading Netflix stuff to my S7 FE’s SD card since January of this year with no issues.

    raptir,

    Well yeah I use VLC for the stuff I’ve downloaded.

    raptir,

    Dude no. Don’t be ridiculous.

    raptir,

    I was on airplane mode on my tablet.

    raptir,

    I’m glad it worked for you. My problem is that if I can’t trust it to work reliably I’m just going to use something else.

    raptir, (edited )

    Their support site literally says “when you don’t have an internet connection” so if it’s working the way you describe then it’s not working as designed.

    raptir,

    I mean not streaming at all back with the DRM issues but I guess that’s fair.

    raptir,

    I downloaded this stuff hours before I went to the airport.

    raptir,

    You don’t even need to go the screen share route, Plex has Watch Together built in.

    raptir,

    Yeah I was still on the plane and it was in airplane mode.
