Nvidia, wayland issues aside is still the superior card 9/10 times. This isn’t a gimmick to get people to buy Nvidia, most of us will buy it anyway. During my last purchase as I pondered over whether I should get an amd and move over to wayland or an Nvidia card that would allow me to locally generate images of whatever I wanted. It was a pretty easy decision, I’ll stick to X11 and Nvidia until the end. Stuff like this is just a bonus

eWaste. We have a contract to give an outside company all our stuff. We degauss and shred hard drives and everything else does in a big bin that they pickup every month.

We have a hard drive degausser and shredder. Lucky bastard taking things home

Oh well if everything you do on your kindle is above board then I imagine it’s a great device. Having had my jailbroken kindle auto updated to the latest version without me noticing and with no way to revert it, it has left me rather salty about the device. It can still read epubs but it now only receives KFX files from Amazon which can’t be de-drm’d anymore.

Kobo is where its at, Amazon has locked down their ecosystem to prevent piracy. Which also made my paperwhite garbage. Unless you’re using Kindle Unlimited its not really worth going for kindle

ESET Endpoint, ESET used to be easy to pirate, box+Mara fix, then they patched that loophole and I was forced to subscribe to it (until I switched to Linux anyway) but I thought about putting eset on my windows VM and checked out the latest options for pirating it and I found out about ESET Endpoint which is self hosted antivirus for corporate environments. So we have pirates running their own Endpoint servers…virus definitions hosted by other pirates. That scared me a bit.

Obviously, people said that if you had a newer card it was ok. I say nay nay.

Glad Weston allows it to run in X11 because every attempt to switch to wayland fulltime has been painful.

They’re not, though alot of people would like them to appear to be.

Yes, it works quite well. I found a playlist of all the episodes I was looking for, every file I looked at had sponsor block segments (should’ve kept looking as the newer files didn’t have them) and set it to download the entire playlist. It checks the api and removes any segments that it finds, extracts the audio and reencodes to mp3. Sounds great.

Shhh, best not to mention Plex on Lemmy. The jellyfin mafia will come down and tell you repeatedly how amazing Jellyfin is and why we should give up our lifetime plex pass’ to use an inferior product cause its free and open source.

Excellent, I was not aware of this. Most of the podcasts in YT form have sponsorblock entries. And yt-dlp has an easy command:

–sponsorblock-remove Category

Signed up, I don’t mind paying but it seems like everything is $10, like I’m not signing up to Rooster Teeth’s site and pay $7/month just so I can listen to a single podcast. It’s taking me about 5 mins a file to open, strip the intro, find the midroll, delete the midroll and strip the outroll. Will that get annoying longterm… probably, but it saves me paying for a bunch of content I don’t care about.

It’s “Tales From The Stinky Dragon” which is a Rooster Teeth podcast. I thought they’d have full files on Patreon and I could just use kemono to get access to them, but they have their own app and shit.

No luck there, couldn’t get it to work on any of the Firefox forks. I eventually got it working in Kiwi Browser

Yes, most seed boxes have plex built in, generally you add it to your account and it shows up as a second server. You can map drives, and use it locally instead, but I’ve never done it that way.

Didn’t know that, I actually switched to Kiwi Browser because I couldn’t get the addon to work in IceRaven. And it’s one of those addons I really couldn’t live without.

Didn't like that requirement either, so I used another site to get a virtual phone number to authenticate. There's a bunch, but I've used this site for both Telegram & Discord:

Maybe indexer was the wrong word: https://tgstat.com/ is one I regularly use to find… things

Check out "The Amber Room" on telegram, it's the spiritual successor of The Grove. Very actively updated with a secondary requests channel that has never let me down.
