  • No no no no no. We don't want to people to join and enjoy our near 100% uptime. Also be warned that lemm.ee isn't de-federated with lemmynsfw so you'll get PORN on your all feed. The horror. Steer clear.

  • I remember seeing a tweet of his saying he just saw it and it was garbage. It was then I got really excited because I knew it was gonna be good. Boy howdy I was right, Wife and I loved the movie so we went back the 2nd Saturday. In 20 years of being with my wife, she has NEVER agreed to see a movie twice in theater. Still can't get the songs out of my head. If you guys loved Barbie check out Ladybird kind of quirky coming of age film by the same director!

  • From what I understand, the KDE team used to use OpenSUSE as their distro of choice when testing KDE. This has changed now to KDE Neon being the flagship KDE experience. Also OpenSUSE will install Nvidia Drivers during install if you select that option. You'll have to enable the Nvidia repo later on too. But it's dead simple. Definitely give OpenSUSE a try. I've been using for a few months now on my laptop and it's fantastic. It just works, including BTRFS snapshotting, right out of the box.

  • ITT: Arch Elitists unironically being the bottom frame of the meme.

  • I'm so glad idiots like you aren't in charge of policy in Minnesota.

  • Lemmy is decentralized but completely connected together. I am on lemm.ee but I can still subscribe and comment to Lemmy.world or any number of other communities. The website you type in to visit Lemmy doesn't matter. All Lemmy instances go to the same place. OP is arguing that a large centralized instance is bad which I don't think anybody can disagree with. Lemmy.world has been down like every day. Tons of stability/DDOS issues but that only affects communities/users localized on that instance. Problem is that's like half of the active Lemmy users right now.

  • Plex Pass has two features which I consider to be invaluable. Intro/Credit skip, when an intro or credit sequence is playing a button on screen will pop up allowing you to skip to the end. This even works well with movies with end credit scenes, it will just skip right to them. The other is transcoding, which if you're streaming locally is not really required. Personally, I have dozens of users and some require transcoding because their internet connections are slower than my blu ray rips. Join us at !plex@lemmy.ml

  • Its like the old adage, you can't get something that is Good, Fast and Cheap. Pick two.

    Jellyfin is free, but requires a more technical set up and does lack some minor features that Plex has and client availability is not as good (No Xbox/Playstation apps as far as I know). On the other hand Plex has a more feature rich product that is just that, a product. Plex Pass is not required, but it is very useful for server owners. It's a tough sell to most people, and as a lifetime Plex pass holder, I would say the lifetime pass is the only one worth getting. Going month to month or evenly yearly is a huge waste of money.

  • Speaking very broadly here, I define conservatism as needing an out of power group to shame/ostracize. Looking at Japan, 98% of the population is ethnically Japanese. 2% is immigrants. Hell I bet most of the people reading this already know the Japanese word for outsider without me even having to say it. It's a lock that Japanese conservatives are every bit as shitty as English or American conservatives.

  • Installed Tumbleweed on my laptop last weekend after giving up on Arch. I realized I just don't have the time Arch demands. OpenSUSE has been pretty nice so far, everything seems to just work, I can't complain!

  • lol imagine being so poor you can't afford 10 dollars a month

  • Hard agree with Usenet. If you're doing sonarr/radar stuff save yourself tons of stress and hook into usenet

  • Do you use a vpn with usenet? Is it even necessary as you aren’t hosting like with torrents?

    I don't use a vpn because it would really slow down the speed and everything is downloading via https anyway so its encrypted. Your ISP will see you hitting usenet servers, but thats all. Milage may vary with how tolerate your ISP is towards this.

    Have you found it easier to find less popular titles/things that there just doesn’t seem to be seeded torrents for?

    Absolutely. The insane thing about usenet is retention. If it was uploaded 10 years ago to usenet, its still there. Available at max speed. No more dead torrents. I was in the same boat with users requesting stuff I couldn't find, with usenet its way way better.

  • They'll let old.reddit sit around for a little while longer because of the push back they got from API changes. But I suspect by this time next year it'll be gone too and we'll get another wave leaving reddit.

  • This comment is me, last year. Its really not that hard don't let it intimidate you! All you really need is 3 things:

    1. Download Client. Usenet has file size limits, so files are broken into zip archives. A download client such as SABnzbd will automatically unpack for you.
    2. Usenet provider. Such as Eweka (Based in Europe) or Newshosting. This will cost about 5-10 bucks a month.
    3. Usenet indexer. Indexer is used for searching usenet. Think pirate bay. I personally use https://nzbgeek.info. NZB geek costs 1 dollar a month or 80 for a lifetime membership.

    Yeah usenet costs money, but god damn its such a premium experience. Every single download is going to cap out your connection, never wait for seeds again.

  • Shh!!! lemm.ee is slow and overloaded, no need to register here. 👀

  • I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Prigozhin is dead, everything coming out of Russia right now is fake news propaganda. They said he met with Putin? Prigozhin and co shot down Russian helicopters and killed Russian pilots. There is no fucking way this guy was then allowed to meet with Putin days later. Russian intelligence scooped this guy up and he's dead 100%.

  • To add to this outstanding display of rationalism. The vaccines are waaay more effective at preventing COVID than masks will ever be. Dump the mask (if you are a healthy adult) and get boosted!
