  • Using huntarr? Perhaps you shouldn't.

    Jump

  • I would love to see alternatives/replacements to them that are less opinionated. If you aren't ready to consign your entire library to destructive edits and file replacements then it really is hard to fit any arr program into your workflow. Because I have a few files I want to keep pristine and a few opinions on what gets downloaded, I've hit a snag every time I try to set up any arr program. Lidarr, for example, simply refuses to allow a root dir to be read only. I still have yet to get any up and running.

  • Matrix server feature differences? (aka Which server software to choose?)

    Jump

  • Thanks for that overview, I really couldn't figure out what I was missing. I've got chat and voice working, for my tiny instance that should be enough.

  • Matrix server feature differences? (aka Which server software to choose?)

    Jump

  • Those "advanced Synapse features are what the question is, IMO. I set up a server the other day and went with Tuwunel because I couldn't figure out what the mysterious missing features actually were.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

  • I fail to see where TV calibration comes in here tbh. If I can see blocky artifacts from low bitrate it will show up on any screen unless you turn the brightness down so far that nothing is visible.

  • What are some discord alternatives that we can suggest to our friends?

    Jump

  • What's been your main issues with Matrix? I'm testing it now and the setup is awful, but the actual messaging etc seems to work fine. I'd like to catch any issues I'll have early so I don't commit to it if I shouldn't.

  • Discord Alternatives, Ranked

    Jump

  • Their loss. They have at least a month to migrate, probably more before most users get forced to verify, there is no rush. That and an ad-free hobby-run project like Stoat doesn't gain anything from a massive user increase unless it correlates to an increase in devs or money.

    Jump

  • Either they edited it to add Zulip or you missed it.

  • Discord to Require ID or Face Scan Next Month for Full Access

    Jump

  • One of my friends hit me with the "they already know everything about me" line on this one and literally said they'd give Discord "anything", so I don't think I'm gonna convince my group to move y'all. At least my best friend is educated enough at this point to be interested in moving so I'll still be investigating options.

  • Do you miss drinking from the water fountain?

    Jump

  • Is... is that not the goal?

  • Trustworthy websites with recommendations, reviews, discussions about VPN, DNS, and similar?

  • Well I fucked around and found out lol, just got the email today.

  • So no one else has to look it up, 120°F is 49°C

  • The world is trying to log off U.S. tech

    Jump

  • Speaking as a canadian, I do believe our leaders will attempt to work with any new administration the US votes in. We are too inter-linked to not try. BUT, I think recent events have shown not just our government, but our general populace that we cannot rely on the USA. I don't think everything will just "go back to normal" like you hope.

  • Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?

    Jump

  • Most liquids are similar to water. I will fairly often see a liquid and can do a quick estimation of weight based on volume. 40L water canister? That's about 40kg. It takes no effort to calculate.

  • I am not even close to MN but this banger is going on my playlist.

    Jump

  • Your comment is irrelevant to the parent. They said nothing about AI quality or morality but asked:

    How can you tell the difference between real and AI? Seriously asking no sarcasm

    And you responded with, essentially, "AI sucks". Which I agree with, but save it for when they actually say anything to the contrary.

  • Can you use Linux today without the terminal?

    Jump

  • I would disagree. Almost every Windows tutorial I found for problems told me how to go through the UI. It was even hard to find tutorials for CLI at times because Windows doesn't provide good CLI tools for things like switching audio devices.

  • Trustworthy websites with recommendations, reviews, discussions about VPN, DNS, and similar?

  • Someone must have pissed in their cereal that day or something. Just checked my monthly data and it certainly isn't low. Happy the new VPN is working for you though!

  • Trustworthy websites with recommendations, reviews, discussions about VPN, DNS, and similar?

    Jump

  • Opinions will vary. For instance, I've been torrenting with Windscribe with no issues since before that post was made and would still recommend it, so...

    Edit Feb 2026: I got my account disabled lol. So much for that!

  • Research VS Reality.....?

    Jump

  • Late 20s. For years I've slept short hours during the week (4-6, usually 6) and regular on the weekend. Had no issues that I can tell other than poor mental performance compared to a full sleep day. However lately I have found I am unable to continue this schedule. Could be age or anything, but stacking 6hr sleeps in a row is just destroying me the last few months. So your mileage will vary, and I can't imagine doing 4 nightly for years.

  • Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads

    Jump

  • Seconded. Looks good and I've found browsing by letter is way faster than the traditional folders (although you can still use folders with premium). I bought the upgrade after a few months.
