Duh
Duh
Not watching at all.
Local and off-site. (Not cloud)
Nop, I don’t have a 4k library. To be honest, my TV doesn’t even know what HD ready is. It can handle 1080i, but full HD, nop. (And I already have a hard time seeing the difference between 720p and 1080p)
Depends on the setup. On my stereo it’s sometimes close, but always recognizable to me. (And yes, sometimes digital sounds more pleasing) On an average stereo, most just won’t hear the difference.
The biggest factors to tell analog from digital are
Ehm, probably 2 disks bough from the same batch. They usually die together. ;)
Yep, so you still need the old mediums. Also, analog sounds different from digital unless you take a very high sampling rate. (Some hear the diffeeence, same like some see the differense between HD and 4K and some don’t)
I own every outdated medium (alas, need to repair the 8-tracks) and the devices to use them. They hold music that’s most of the times not available via any other method.
The content is more valuable to me then the type of medium.
I haven’t bought new media in years. Last time I bougth new they were LP records, new pressings. For movies I just download or buy used, for music I almost always buy used and from time to time new when I really want to support the artist.
Yhe problem with limiting yourself to either pirate or just 1 type of medium is that you miss out on good stuff. At this moment I have music from every decade between 1890 and 2020 on LP, of which most will never be available digitally.
I already had games tell me I couldn’t spend when I didn’t order anything, so I’m good this way. No payment method linked to my account without a clear intent to spend that exact moment. Link paypal, spend, unlink paypal works perfectly. (or else when I have cash, buy a giftcard when the amount is close enough to what I want to spend.
It’s interesting to see that subscriptions are forced upon users everywhere.
I only game on mobile in games that are basically f2p. When I like something in that game or want to do a monthly pass I pay for that, once. I have deliberately no payment option what so ever linked to the mobile account as I don’t trust Google not to sneak in an unwanted payment. (Or a game fritzing out and doing a payment for me)
Yes, games are entertainment and just like TV/streaming, a subscription could be useful for die-hard gamers, but I see digital content being ‘sold’ for buyers to ‘own’ and then the bought items being removed to much. Corporate greed is spiraling out of control.
I’d advice to look into ipv6 tunnels and try to get that working. Abandon ipv4 when your isp refuses to ipv6.
When searching, dots, when downloading, who cares?
When searching, dots act as and, spaces as or (at least in qtorrent). The dots makes searching easier.
Ours is still alive and can be voted on in 10 days.
I had them all, until the disk I had them on died… Will implement i2p tomorrow.
I wish it would be as easy to install as typing apt-get install i2pd and just answer a few questions. (Or even better, have it as advised package off qbittorrent)
I’ll look into the script to see what it’s doing before trying an install, but most users either blindly run the command or won’t bother.
I’m using Magisk, LSposed and MinMinguard (2.2.0). LSPosed has the minminguard module enabled for all apps (including system) and minminguard has the whitelist mode with no app whitelisted. Works great. (And when a site starts nagging anyway, I’m out, not worth my time)
I store my media, on mirrored disks the ones I scanned myself (to much work, mainly music), series are kept, some mirrored, some not. Movies are kept until I need more space. (I have about 6T mirrored and 8T unmirrored space for all data, including my backups, pictures,…
Anything I can download is pretty expendable, unless I really like it/it took a lot of time to get or find.
Drat, and I was happy I finally finished all I could find. I already missed TAS earlier.
open gmail and see ublock report >1k trackers blocked What tracker bust?
Oh wait, torrents and stuff… never mind.
