Lol is it bad this is the reason I setup a self hosted gitea instead of GitHub

Hey I read about some new device that lets you put work hours in from your sleep! So doing this doesn’t seem far off.

I don’t think they implied that they would switch to Apple. They just want off android so bad they can’t wait for the new Linux mobile OS

Seedbox is optional. It can connect to different torrent software to load the torrents in. It also can just do “black hole” which dumps all the torrents into a folder that you can setup your torrent program to watch.

They have a wiki which explains a lot: https://wiki.servarr.com/ as well as other arr software.

Edit: sonarr monitors your tv shows to make sure it has all episodes and grabs new ones. Radarr monitors your movie collection. It also connects directly to your torrent provider / seedbox. Can setup quality profiles and the like to customize which files get grabbed and what not. They also do bulk renaming of files to make sure plex sees them properly. Plus more.

From what I have read regarding RCS it seems you are not wrong. I also read the tech it’s based on is ancient.

Yeah I am almost positive they do force itself back on sometimes lol. Though you are right that it shouldn’t share your IP. But like short of someone you don’t know having access to your WiFi it has to be something weird like that lol

Good to know about Usenet. I haven’t used it in a decade and have no idea what provider I was using. I was also younger and dumber so prob didn’t realize I could have just switched providers. Me at the time thought the dmca Usenet was more of a global issue. I now realize that likely wasn’t the case lol

I wonder if Xfinity hotspots could be this? Are you using their modem / router ?

Edit: also glad to hear Usenet is doing well. I switched to it a long time ago and uses for a bit. Though I remember so many items being removed due to dmca. All my downloads were just text files saying removed by dmca over and over again. So I ended up switching back to torrent via seedbox. Now I just use real debrid. Don’t feel like bothering with other setups lately lol.

Yeah makes sense for 5g home internet

Hmm I had my buddy go to this and he claims his download history has things he never downloaded. He doesn’t use a VPN and no one in his house torrents but him. Also he primarily uses a seedbox. Confusing lol.

Oh he uses T-Mobile home internet so prob shares a public IP with more than a usual ISP

It does look like the prices changed recently. I have 2 houses currently with similar plans. My currently living in house is using the Xfinity modem and costs $25 /m but I guess that’s the modem and the unlimited so not too bad.

My other house has my own network system and not using any Comcast hardware and that one is $30/m.

The bad part for me was until recently they refused to give me unlimited (when it cost $50) and I wasn’t able to get it for a while. It just wouldn’t go through. I got my fair share of overage charges cause of it. I’m sure if I spent enough time bitching at support I could get something from it but I don’t have it in me to do that lol

Comcast has been doing this for over a decade I believe. By default their routers advertise a hotspot exclusive to other Comcast subscribers. Not sure the security behind it since it’s not technically a password just authenticate via your Comcast account. But I agree it is crazy lol I had a similar reaction when I first found out.

Yeah states with Comcast caps you at 1.2TB unless you pay $50 for the unlimited plan, which I don’t think is even offered everywhere. They discount it to $30 if you use their modem.

So true. I am happy I met my SO on tinder. Doing that data chart to see the numbers of my using tinder vs the only match who I went on a date with. The numbers are not in our favor. Now didn’t they release a 500/m plan? It is crazy. I know how lucky I got.

I too would like to know. I use the app Due on iOS. And it is nice and not a sub (though after 1 year you technically need to buy it again IF you want features that released into the app after 1 year of your purchase. It’s also iOS only and doesn’t let others force a notification on you. But if they have the app they can create a notification and text you a custom link to auto add that notification to your app. For anyone reading who is on iOS and wants something like this. due is really cool. Notifications but with a lot of customization. Most important feature is that you can use critical alerts. So like an alarm it can override silence mode or focuses to notify you every X minute until you snooze or dismiss. Can also disable snooze but then I find my self dismissing without actually doing it.

Either way a platform agnostic proper notification system sounds right up my alley. Just googling around I found Apprise and Mind might look into that later (don’t know nearly enough to say if it’s a viable alternative to Galarm or Due but seems extensive and lightweight.

Yay for ublocks annoyance pop up blocker. No more cookie pop ups

Why is it creepy? Apple is trying to do this with iOS too. I’d love to not need to care my ID now that I barely even need a wallet anymore. Though now that I started using sling backpacks I am back to carrying a wallet more often lol

I miss the IRC days. The only reason I even use discord is for information and support from companies or groups that only use discord. I really wish the things I follow would move away from discord but it doesn’t seem likely.

+1 for silver bullet. Love it. PWA works great. And it works offline I believe.

Yeah thankfully I use Arch Linux. Their wiki guide was much better.
