Was my first impulse too, but looking at their app selection now, it seems kind of … inutile? Unsexy? Old?

Gotcha! Thanks for the ELI5 🙂

I’m confused, which is it?

“The” RARbg, as opposed to the RARbg that closed last year? I’d be glad to hear that somebody picked up where the original site left off.

No idea what the John Tucker thing is about 😆

Fingers crossed it’s just temporary maintenance!

I’ll grant you that their tech column is dismal, but I happen to agree a fair bit with their ideology so I’m pretty much fine with their (so far) unpaywalled news site…

That and wget? https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Types-of-Files

Heck yeah. Loads of pirated CBZs and CBRs.

Yeah, may be too soon yet. Or it successfully disappeared 🙂

Latest I can find is the fourth edition. Check libgen.

…but will it fit on a 90 minute cassette tape?

I don’t have a concrete suggestion for your use case, but IM doesn’t seem like the most intuitive tool for this? If you’re going to transfer files or data from one computer to another that is physically in the same room, maybe try a local network transfer instead of opening up an advanced web server with all kinds of moving parts?

I’d look at something like Sharedrop and see if there are alternatives that will offer a browser-based interface.

That sounds absolutely delightful. No new features, no intention of scaling or attracting bigger clients, just… Hobbit SAAS. 🙂

I was referring to the “just skip the hosting step” part. You may be right about Joplin but you’re wrong about the suggestion.

Great suggestion in [email protected]…

Recommending Spyglass over, say, SearxNG? Seems a bit over-reliant on Google services for my taste, but sure.

A) Almost every day. I have a constant backlog/watchlist but it’s small and fairly constant.

B) Once or twice a year I go over my media and delete movies or shows that I’m definitely not watching again. I am hoarding, though only the good stuff. Nothing wrong with that.

“Do I need them? No, but I nerd them, so they stay up!”

A most relevant typo 👍

Interesting, not the first recommendation I’ve had of Piefed. And in your case, choosing a platform.where you can actively contribute is …really the way it should be. Direct and active influence on tools used.

I also agree that Lemmy (largely in imitation of Reddit) skews more social than just a link aggregator, so I’m not arguing you personally are doing it wrong. Tbh it feels more like an “everything forum”, but like I said — splitting hairs. That’s engagement, too 🙂

A tool or algorithm that hides or just deprioritises empty posts would certainly be useful, maybe even as a core feature in future releases of Lemmy?

For my part, I’d like to be able to hide posts based on the source URL [cough, screenrant, cough], same as blocking users or whole instances. Little, user-level filters like that could make a big difference in the individual experience.
