  • Just because someone own's something doesn't mean they themself were able to afford it, or it was available to them. That argument doesn't fly just like that.

    Maybe they got it as a gift, on a giveaway, from a cousin who got a new one, ...

    It's too simple to think that just because someone own's something they got it themself, unless specified otherwise.

  • Thats nice, but google doesn't sell them here like I said, we only have them on resellers sometimes. For example there is pixel 6 pro here sold for 600+ euro on a reseller, while there is no other pixel available rn in the country at all.

  • That's all fine and dandy, but when it outright doesn't have features you wan't, and costs in most cases double your wage it just doesn't pay off.

  • Depends on your usecase and your country of living. Why do I say so? I will name my 2 points:

    1. Lack of sd card. Yes I need my sd card, I don't want to upload stuff online on a 400kbps connection or download on a 16mbps connection. It's not a good experience.
    2. Not officially sold in my country, only available rarelly in resellers for 200+ euro more than normally.
  • i don't have history either man. Every private tracker I tried applying to wanted atleast proof of good seed ration from 2 other private trackers also. Which I don't have I never tou hed private trackers before.

    And either way I don't have disk space to keep torrent's around to build up the ratio. ( I have 100gb free for movies/tv shows ).

  • I didn't bother applying, mostly because I don't look for contant stream of media, and the fact I would then need to managage my seed ratio.

    Not interested in all that, plus I'm very limited on storage, and not can't upgrade it cause it's too expensive here either way.

    Usenet is just better for my usecase.

  • I moved to usenet, seted up a few good indexers and providers and the experience is 1000x better and easier than trying to get into any kind of private trackers.

  • Happened to me, luckilly I kept an ssh connection up.

    Now I make sure to enable the firewall rules before I enable ufw ( still happened to me 3 more times ).

  • Check my other comment, but short answer is nope.

    Edit: those are rugular public roads that are the only way to travel, not specific areas.

  • It hasnt been for a quite a bit of time already. Like over a year I think at this point.

  • Our cities are made to be walkable, it's Croatia after all.

    But we have almost 0 public transport, especially between different cities, we only have train between 3 cities in the whole country and the train's go max 40km/h. Most of our cities are also small enough that you don't need any public transport inside of them cause everything that is in the cities is in the walkable distance ( I will explain later what the "is in cities" part means ), except the couple bigger ones that have buses that go every 20 mins to locations.

    When it comes to buses also almost 0, tourists and even locals have to rely on buses for tourists that are controlled literally by other countries cause buses here barelly go. One good example is between 2 biggect cities here bus only goes to one then back to another at monday and friday, and only once in morning and once afternoon.

    Worst part is that everything spread out across, if somebody here gets sick, he will have to travel to 3+ diff cities for diffeerent examinations each being 100+ km appart from each other + no public transportion unless the day you have the exam a bus is going otherwise you need to get someone to drive you there or have your own car. Same with buying literally anything other than just basic necesities.

    What we have is complete lack of public transport and the fact everything is much spread out that it forces you into owning a car, or to get someone who can drive you, taxis also arent a thing here and are only found in couple big citiea, while being so expensive it's not worth it.

    Edit: forgot to mention that most people here work and commute to job in different cities than what they live in, I had work in summer and had to commute 68km in one way each day for the work by my car because no public transport, reason being I was getting commute money from the job as compensation for having to use my personal venicle so it ended up being a lot cheaper than moving closer to the job. Even now searching for another job I still end up going for job intervies in cities 50+km away cause there is almost no job close to where I live and will most likelly commute to them again because it will be cheaper than moving there. I used me as an example but a lot of people that I know commute to their jobs by their car that are easilly 50+ km away,

    Another good example was my hs english teacher, she traveled around 200km dailly one way to my hs cause it was cheaper than moving here with her 1 year old kid and working husband in her city of living.

  • Yea I can see that happening, I was mostly sarcastic at the fact there are countries that stuggle with god know how many lanes and us who have max 4.

    Edit: The biggest problem here in total is the complete lack of public transport.

  • You guys have more than one lane way per way?

    Our main roads have one lane per direction, meaning two lains in total and our highways have 2 lanes per direction in total 4.

    We get huge traffic jams in summer cause of tourists which can easilly go up to 30km.

    Maybe one more lane each direction could actuwlly help there on the highway.

  • Update: I have ended up with hosting a sharkey instance, mostly because of it's very active development and nice ui. ( No way it was cause of the shark costumed waifu )

  • Tnx for recommendation, if I knew of it before I seted up my lemmy server I would hop on it right away. But since I already have lemmy for "communities" I would like for something that's more microbloging specific.

    I could migrate to it but it would get annoying for a couple friends that already use my lemmy instance.

    EDIT: I might self hostcit to try it and see how wellcit work's tho.

  • Sorry but I'm already used to :w stoo much and a lot faster with it than ctrl+s
