  • Usenet connections can be encrypted. No need for a VPN or any other obfuscation.

  • I have been on SA a bunch lately too. 13 years later and I still don't understand FYAD.

  • Frigate is a camera server. In order to link Reolink into it you're required to download their app, register for an account, and then setup your server. The fact that you're required to download their app, and make an account is the problem.

    It's entirely possible I missed some method of doing this that doesn't have this problem, but google turned up no results when I was setting it up.

  • What I ended up doing was just keeping a traditional doorbell, but mounted an old smartphone running IP Cam and a Solar Power Bank with it. I have a few "proper" cameras, but they're far less reliable than my janky-ass cellphone rig.

  • Reolink has had some concerns over privacy, and transparency. You're required to use their app, even if you're linked into HomeAssisstant/Frigate. Most of their cameras also don't offer continuous recording, which has made me really regretting my Reolink E1 Outdoor.

  • If you're in a major city theres likely a recycling centre just for old office machines. You can snag them dirt cheap, but with no Harddrive. Theyre a bit dated, but will work great as a server.

  • My Ender 3 V2 needs a complete frame check between each print. It's the only way Ive managed to get consistent prints. At least the design is Open Source!

  • I see them fine on Jerboa.

  • You just named a bunch of games that have been released on other consoles/pc.

    What I'm referring to are all the garbage games released. Think licensed titles, and all the crap that led to the market crash in the 80's.

    Also you most certainly can buy old consoles and games at a store. I do it all the time.

  • As much as I support and endorse game preservation, this doesn't seem like a shocking number. I wonder what percentage of those games are actually worth playing?

  • Ah yes, the daily audiobook thread. If only there was a way to search for old posts!

  • The count of

    Monte Cristo is hands down my favourite book that I've read. Absolutely a must-read.

  • If your budget allows snag yourself a Prusa. They're very well made, and Jeff Prusa more or less invented the modern 3D Printer. Creality makes fine printers, but you'll spend more time maintaining it than actually printing. I have an Ender 3 V2 and wish I had saved up to get a better printer. I don't have any personal experience with other brands.

    You'll need to use a CAD program to make models. TinkerCAD is a great free option. You'll also need to "slice" that model up for printing using a slicer. I personally use PrusaSlicer, but there are others as well.

    If you're asking these kinds of questions that tells me you're brand new to all of this. I recommend checking out Thomas Salanderer, CNC Kitchen, and Teaching Tech on YouTube. They're all great at explaining the minutiae of this hobby.

    Edit: Do yourself a huge favour and get a model with a self-levelling bed, or at the very least a bed-level probe.

  • No. Im behind CGNAT and can access my Plex fine.

  • Most indexers have a request form for content. Ive used the one on NZBGeek numeous times and gotten what I wanted within a day or two.

  • It isn't availability that makes me prefer Usenet, but its speed and security features.

  • I've had a few friends work for them out in Montreal, and their parent company (2 Men and a Truck). According to them it's a mob-operated business.

  • The headline is specifically written to incite outrage. That's how you get clicks these days.

  • This. Torrenting is fine, but I'm more than happy to pay a small fee for faster speeds and an encrypted connection.

  • It's incredibly difficult to take this seriously when they can't even be bothered to spell whole words.
