I switched to Helix as my main editor for home and work a couple years ago, it's been a dream.
The kakoune editing paradigm (which btw, chef's kiss), coupled with lsp support and symbol and buffer jumping built in. It's like if vscode and kakoune had a baby. So good.
I think we'll be able to tell when they do. Guess that's a good time to start learning sign language lol.
Joking aside, I've come to understand that speaking a language in front of your kids that they can't understand isn't really a nice thing to do. Makes them feel excluded, and isn't really cool to do to an adult so shouldn't be cool to do to a child either.
Better to talk openly or just wait until you're alone. 👍 For all the parents out there.
VPN is probably a good idea regardless of what you use, yeah. I haven't used a VPN in 20+ years of pirating. 😅 Probably a bad idea. 🫣
Torrents I'm fine with seeding. I never stop seeding my downloads. More data for the people!
I only download H.265 releases, so no need to reencode. I just dump all my downloaded movies in a movies/ directory, and all my shows in series/{Show Name}/{season XX boxset}/. Plex recognized everything fine, and now Jellyfin does as well after ditching Plex (because Plex don't give af about their users, as I've noticed, story for another time).
I'm surprised Usenet content is mostly just H.264. sounds a bit behind the times.
Anyway, filled one 4 TB recently which is like ten years old, recently been getting closer and closer to filling a 10 TB drive, and got a completely unused 24 TB drive waiting to be installed. Bought while storage was still cheap. 😅 Should be set for the coming years.
That together with the top speeds of my tracker, and free price, hard to beat unless you're worried about your ISP cracking down on you (which I'm not really as I'm based east of the pond).
I think I'll hold off on Usenet for the time being.
Or use big words when we don't want them to understand.
Not sure if this is common knowledge among English speaking countries, but we in non English speaking countries use English when we don't want our small kids to understand what we're saying. 🫣
if I lived in that sort of climate I might not be driving an electric car.
People living in -30°C don't necessarily do so all year round. The temperature varies between -30 and +30 during the full year where I live. Our EVs handle it just fine, even for long trips. 👍👍
A fossil fuel car also consumes more gas in cold temperatures, as far as I've understood. Doesn't stop anyone in colder climate from using a car at all.
The way I look at it is I’m not having to pay for Netflix [etc]
Right, same with my private torrent tracker but for $0/month. I don't think Usenet is for me, I guess. Maybe if my tracker gets nuked somehow, which it hasn't after like 20 years, then I'll have to consider Usenet. 😅
Would you even happen to know which episode? Must be from like no later than S03 since Shane is there.
