That's the point, it kinda doesn't matter. If someone is trying to suspend the Constitution, an amendment saying not to isn't going to stop them.

If it's anything like how the US deals with these things: tobacco is heavily taxed, vaping is taxed far less. They don't give a shit who uses nicotine, just that they do so in a profitable way.

It does, but it's done me wrong a few times so I never recommend it. For all I know it's fine these days, but old grudges are hard do shake.

You could do it on the NAS. Qbittorrent is probably the highest-recommended client right now, and it has a web UI that can be accessed from any other device on your network.

That said, I run one of the tiny Thinkcentres as a dedicated torrent and *arrs box. I think I paid $30 for that one, and it has more than enough power for the task.

Given the recent issues with ads, I wouldn't recommend anything Android/GoogleTV based. A USFF PC will give you better performance for less money, especially if you buy used. You can find 1L X86 boxes for $30-60 on eBay that are perfect for the job.

Australia actually did that a couple years ago, but only for vaping-related nicotine. Cigs were unaffected.

Jellyseerr doesn't do music, but Ombi does. I run them both, with Ombi set for music only.

For laptops, I've been using EndeavourOS lately. All of the Arch goodness, but with an easy installer that handles the DE too. It's as close to "just works" as you can get while still having pacman + AUR at the end.

I still love raw Arch, but I leave that for server installs.

Readarr goes through fits of not working very well, usually linked to issues with the metadata provider. My tip would be to ditch it entirely and use LazyLibrarian instead. It's a lot more reliable, and has all of the same functionality.

Regular watches for me. Specifically, relatively cheap automatics. There's a certain kind of beauty to a mechanical watch, they're impressive feats of engineering.

I've worn Fitbits in the past, but just long enough to know I'm not interested. I don't need yet another thing to charge, I'll just grab my phone for things beyond checking the time.

My daily driver right now is an old Lenovo Ideapad (50-70 I think) with EndeavourOS, I have a few other assorted Thinkpads and Ideapads running mainly EOS or Arch, and home servers running Arch. I use Arch btw.

The "backup" laptops are flexible though, I distro-hop on them fairly often. Older Lenovos are usually great for Linux compatibility.

It's textbook destabilization. We just aren't used to seeing them use the tactics at home.

It goes farther than ad-tolerant, a lot of them enjoy the ads. They see them as a natural part of the content.

Center-mount stands have been around for years, and were the standard for a very long time. If made well, they work for very large TVs.

They're doing this to cheap out on manufacturing, nothing more. Don't give them a pass for it.

EndeavourOS is it. It's basically a better version of archinstall, especially if you're planning to install a DE.

I don't know about an hourglass specifically, but there are some options. Should be in system settings, applications, launch feedback and/or busy cursor.

But then the Europeans would need to come up with new jokes to feel superior to Americans. Not as easy as expected.

If you want to compare something to peanut butter, check out tahini. It's basically peanut butter made out of sesame seeds, and even has a (kinda) similar flavor profile. Tahini and grape jam is delicious.

I prefer private, but only a few that aren't to crazy with the rules. Ratio is easy enough to maintain with some freeleech torrents set to seed forever, all other torrents get set to whatever the minimum seed requirements are. The selection, quality, and speed are so much better that I don't mind putting in that little bit of effort. Public trackers are my last resort.

That said, any torrents are secondary to Usenet. That subscription is worth every damn penny.

Arch or EndeavourOS, depending on the machine's purpose and my mood at install time. I prefer rolling release, and pacman + AUR is a lovely combination.
