Myself and the guys I was referring to with crazy hardline loops are on first name basis with Linus, we all played left 4 dead together way back when before he even had a YouTube channel (ClosetGamer, anyone?) so his influence with these type of enthusiasts is still pretty strong, at least here in Canada. However he definitely lost a lot of respect with this response of his but honestly I didn’t expect anything different from him

The average consumer wouldn’t buy a block to begin with. I know quite a few guys that have spent thousands on their hardline setups, adding another $1000 CAD is a drop in the bucket to them. There is a market for it, just not a large one

Switched from a pixel 5 to an iPhone 13 Pro 2 years ago when google removed smart home integration from the power menu. Other than the way iOS handles notifications I have no regrets, picked up a 14 pro max a few months ago and have been loving the full days worth of battery life, something I never achieved on any other phone.

Works fine over smb and NFS. *arr apps have no way of knowing if a folder is a mounted share or not

You can get decent ones on Amazon for less than $500. I think I paid like 350 for my 12” deep one, I’ve rotated it every 3 months and it still feels like new a few years later

Join PTP, RED etc and get access to the invite forums. FYI you won’t get an invite from a regular user, it takes years to get to the user class that gets invites

I use BTN and RED as backups for Usenet, otherwise I don’t use torrents

BTN

That video of his solved all my woes of using my dishwasher lmao

Your ISP may still have a Usenet server going, but it’s unlikely. Best bet is getting a block account or waiting for a $3-5/month unlimited sale

Slide for Reddit dev announced yesterday he’s ceasing development on his Reddit app and releasing a lemmy app

That’s likely down to your ISPs peering. A 50mbps upload can handle flac with ease, before I had fibre I had 30mbps up and streamed flacs over Plex at work all the time with no issues. Have you checked your Plex amp settings? It’s supposed to cache a few songs, so there shouldn’t be any noticeable gap in song playback

Find a tracker that has IRC sign ups. Maintain a good ratio on that account for 6 months and become a power user to gain access to the invite forums
