raptir, to asklemmy in Do You Have a Fire Extinguisher in Your Home and is it Still Pressurized?

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, to asklemmy in What's the best music streaming service?

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.

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

Ounces become pounds, bro.

I thoroughly enjoyed all of these today.

raptir, to linux in Switching from Linux Mint to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed very soon. Any advice?

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, to news in Candy company Mars uses cocoa harvested by kids as young as 5 in Ghana

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, to lemmyshitpost in Could we not bring that to Lemmy, please?

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

raptir, to lemmyshitpost in Could we not bring that to Lemmy, please?

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

raptir, to lemmyshitpost in Could we not bring that to Lemmy, please?

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

raptir, to piracy in Sailing Arr seas and the Usenet oceans

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.

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

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

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