huh, TIL, thanks

I really need to test them as well. Being ~100GB each is quite good for me, I won’t need more than 100 for my whole life

I get it about stuff that you don’t really care about But if I spend a day looking for a specific movie, I’m taking it to my grave

Damn I read “my cat needed to be enthusiased and I just received her ashes” and though WTF did you do to make her so excited?

side note: enthusiased is not an english word but in greek (ενθουσιασμενος) it makes sense and it translates to “excited”

I’m so happy about steam’s monopoly. I almost feel like they’re there for us, they broke capitalism

exactly that, INCLUDING server-side binaries to re-create any online features

I could argue that the source code should become public domain as well but we already sound like crazy people

discs are a personal archiving solution (quite a bad one too, unless you’re into m-discs n stuff) and do not solve the data accessibility issue (copying it is labor intensive and needs human interaction, in contrast to a torrent)

Just a side note that M-DISC exists which is essentially a blue ray disk with a claimed longevity of a thousand years (strong emphasis on “claimed”. there’s a lot of controversy around it)

but yes the only way to retain access is piracy as it allows people that didn’t have the media to get it

that being good at your job doesn’t define you. it’s not a “trait”, it’s not a label. sometimes you’re good, sometimes you’re bad and sometimes you just are.

it’s just a job after all and a job should never be more than that: just a job

wait till you start the deep dives - it just gets better and better

rock and stone to the bone

huh, you’re right! I’m trained on a different kind of code. In C# in particular, which I use mostly to do sneaky stuff (patch/inject runtime code to, um, “fix” it) and when I see a project that it’s too clean it smells

I also see python code (I code regular stuff in it) that could be written much more cleanly using monkey-patching

it’s mainly text chat but it’s a ton of fun with friends (where i imagine you’d like voice chat)

rock and stone brother!

I’ll put my vote to Deep Rock Galactic for online. It’s a game (that you MUST check out) with one of the most wholesome communities ever. Most people are super nice in the chat and I’ve made a friend or two (for me that’s a lot - I’m extremely picky cause I feel very nice with the amount of friends I have already)

damn

you have a multi-billion cluster at your disposal it seems

you can do i: int to make this error out

lol forgot to mention torrentio, the most crucial part of the recipe 😂

it just downloads the torrents in real time for you and gives you a single link. It removes all the torrent quirks - except of course of the fact that you need seeders and the download speed depends on them.

Why is nobody talking about stremio? The user interface and experience is very close to netflix (better at times) but it plays torrents instead.

If you pair it with a real-debrid subscription after you first try it solo it takes it to the next level.

It’s just amazing

And you don’t have to buy anything. Stremio can be installed on your firetv stick

EDIT: forgot to mention that you need the torrentio or torrrentio lite add on for stremio.
