That’s not at all what I am saying. I am saying that Gen Z aren’t as tech illiterate as people seem to think and using myself as an example.

Why are you so negative?

Point being I’ve used tech from the era before smartphones.

I struggled majorly with XDCC weirdly enough.

Most ISPs I have seen these days actually block stuff properly. DNS hacks are no longer sufficient. Luckily VPNs are cheap these days.

Weirdly enough I have never used that feature. Only found out about it after I started using Usenet and the *arr stack. Now if I want to search for something manually I use Prowlarr that allows me to search both Usenet and Bittorrent at the same time.

The rest of the time Radarr or Sonarr finds it for me.

Usenet seems to work really well, and can be surprisingly cheap. Try FrugalUsenet. If you want both VPN and Usenet then try something like Eweka. They do deals where you get both Usenet access and a cheap VPN. It’s about €105 for 15 months or €6.99 per month.

I was born in 2001. I didn’t use a smartphone until I was like 16. We grew up with regular computers too. I also grew up with Windows XP and 7, as well as playing Doom using DosBox. Then again I am a computer science graduate, so maybe not the best example.

I wasn’t the one calling myself a tankie, learn to read usernames. I am not a marxist so can’t be one anyway. Are you a pacifist or something? Because it sounds like you oppose all militarism.

Except tankies are authoritarians, and some even support the CCP, who are basically a dictatorship. How is this left wing again?

I am not going to say that tankies are right wing like this guy you’re replying to. What they are is confused people who tried to join the left for the wrong reasons and ended up becoming authoritarians because of it. That or you fell into a cult-like group that spreads misinformation.

Also Tankies saying they like liberals is a new one to me. Normally they like complaining about liberals. I’ve been called a liberal for some of the most asinine shit imaginable, basically just because I don’t immediately agree with them.

So you acknowledge the Uighur cultural genocide then? Also you weren’t denying the Tiananmen square massacre earlier? Why are you in this comment section if you don’t deny these things? It’s specifically complaining about Tankies who deny both those atrocities committed by the CCP.

But to think that our government, should it become communist, should be allowed to kill people in order to maintain a socialist or communist society is just straight up wrong and as far as I know that’s what a tankie is, someone who thinks that Tiananmen Square and Stalin’s reign of terror was just a necessary evil in order to strengthen the communist societal norm.

All governments kill people. That’s what governments do, specifically militaries do. I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong for a socialist or communist nation to defend itself. What’s wrong is countries killing peaceful protesters for no other reason than vocally disagreeing with them. That’s what makes Tiananmen Square and Stalin wrong, not just that they killed people.

Bro your the one supporting genocide denial, that’s the reason people are fighting you. Stop doing things like that and maybe “the liberals” and everyone else will leave you alone. In fact no one actually mentioned liberals until you did. You are the problem here.

That’s not what’s happening here. Not all marxists are okay with covering up Tiananmen Square or supporting the CCP. I used to be part of a Trotskyist org and they wouldn’t be caught dead supporting either Stalin or the CCP. Anarchists certainly aren’t okay with it, and they are further left than you are. Stop pretending all your enemies are liberals.

I think he means the cat

Depending on what battery protection modes are in play, many have smart charging or other features designed to prolong life. Also a fair few batteries come out with greater than design capacity from the factory. It’s called a design capacity and not an absolute capacity for a reason. A phone battery that left the factory at 110% could conceivably still be at or above 100%.

Fyi it’s not overnight charging that’s the issue either, it’s charging to 100%. What one device consider 100% varies and devices will essentially lie to you about it. 4.2V is normally considered 100% full for Lithium Cobalt Oxide batteries yet some devices push higher than this while others skirt under to pad capacity and cycle life respectively. It’s about tradeoffs.

You mean Unix for the first one

Already done that. This is the only one that supports working with sonarr and radarr afaik.

Trying to get a real debrid client to work right. It seems the internal downloader doesn’t work, and it supported using aria2.

AMBA/AXI-bus in the case of the Pi. GPUs existed long before PCIe did lol.

One some x86 systems the CPU and GPU aren’t connected with PCIe either. AMD has infinity fabric that they use for things like the Instinct MI300 and some of their other APUs

Edit: Oh yeah also ARM isn’t just low power anymore. It’s used in data centers and super computers these days. Even if it was there is lots of stuff you can do with a low power node, including running file servers, DNS or Pi hole, web servers, torrent/usenet downloaders, image and music servers, etc. I have also seen them used to maintain cluster quorum after loss of one more powerful node. A two node cluster won’t have quorum if one fails, so adding a pi as a third node makes sense.
