  • But kbin lets you block entire instances as a user, which is worth the tradeoff for me.

    Let's you block domains as a user. It doesn't block the entire instance, some posts do and will still come through (as I've found over the weeks lol). They've said on the github that a feature is incoming to outright block instances, if I read correctly.

    Edit: Sorry, codebase, not github: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/118#issuecomment-942720 ernests last comment.

  • Hopefully soon, along with an API for kbin (since I'm there and want it too lol).

  • Was about to say. I hate light mode and always default to dark, but I'd also be 100% with a "just not blinding fucking white" mode as a middle ground.

  • Some days I view the Internet as one of the most important technological advances ever made in the history of mankind.

    Other days the worst fucking mistake we coulda made next to Furby's.

    Fuck.

  • '84 here. For years now I just round myself up or down to the nearest 5 and call it a day lol

  • Feedly. Been using em daily since the day Google Reader went arse-up.

  • Seconding Feedly. I was Google Reader ride or die till the last day, and Feedly stepped up and offered an account import iirc so people could just swap right over. Did so immediately and have been with them ever since.

    Hasn't been a single news story or article (in my fields of interest) that has popped up on Reddit over the last 12+ years that I haven't also seen via RSS feeds +/- an hour of it's appearance. Just have to deal once every couple years with removing/replacing a dead/changed feed and that's a mild enough annoyance with any RSS reader.

  • Right? I did it 25ish years ago. Was already disappointed once, won't get a different result now.

  • Also fuckin' random real talk: I know a lot of people prefer the theatrical cut of Mallrats, Smith included, but I 100% prefer the original cut with the Governor's Ball/Musket intro. Always found it much funnier and anytime I watch the theatrical cut I just miss the 'missing' scenes.

  • Yep. The day µTorrent did their adware/crypto/whatever the fuck it was shit happened more than once, I immediately grabbed qBittorrent and never wanted to look back. Only once did I have a problem with it and that was an issue between it and Sonarr which I resolved by just downgrading qBittorrent for awhile lol

  • qBittorrent for over a decade now.

  • So I'm on Kbin.social right now. Let's say I wanna view our gaming community. like how Reddit has:

    Reddit.com/r/Subredditname

    I would go to:

    kbin.social/m/magazinename

    You on lemmy.world would go to:

    lemmy.world/c/communityname

    Super simple so far I hope lol. Same url format, just a C instead of an R on lemmy, and M instead of an R on kbin.

    Let's say I on kbin wanna see your gaming community. If I did kbin.social/m/gaming, I would get mine. The url though can act like how an email address does, by adding a domain to the end of it. So if I did kbin.social/m/gaming@lemmy.world, I'll see your gaming community. Same if you do lemmy.world/c/gaming you see yours, but lemmy.world/c/gaming@kbin.social you should see ours.

    If I got those URL's right that is lol

    Both kbin and lemmy instances do also have other ways to get to other instances to sub, but the instructions I provided are based just on the url so it should work for anyone while ya get used to the UI and new platform and whatnot.

  • Not OP but: they are apps to schedule automatic downloads. Like Star Trek Strange New Worlds but don't wanna go every week and download it manually? Set it up in Sonarr and when you wake up the new episodes are waiting for you. Radarr is the same for film, prowlarr for aggregating torrent trackers all in 1 spot, bazarr for subtitles, and there's a few others. Can also be set up with usenet in addition to torrents.

  • Ah, I see you've taken part in Bullshit Corporate Meetings™ before!

  • Dooooo ittttt!

    Edit: Forgot to add the useful comment.

    Honestly if you're just starting out, straight up use your existing computer, plug that HDD in, load her up and just follow the instructions or a guide to set it up. Wait to see how much you use it before spending cash.

    A recommendation however: Due to how Pokemon is and how Plex's two available metadata sources (TVDB and TMDB) categorize and lay the show out differently, make sure when you are getting the episodes in Plex that you have the TV show matched to TMDB (TheMovieDataBase), not TVDB (TheTVDataBase). Both have the show, but TVDB lumps a lot of the later seasons/series together, whereas TMDB will keep them separate as the correct seasons.
