so tired of people recommending thinkpads when there are much better options. the fact the control and alt key were swapped for years is enough to never get ibm or Lenovo.

I’d check local places like offerup. can get business laptops for cheap when places refresh. there are a few people around me selling 3-4 year old dells with i5/i7, nvme, etc. take a Linux USB and install it on site before you buy to test. they’re more than enough specwise for daily use or testing. often sub $300
6·10 months agoone of my favorite groups is Mischief Brew from Philly. Very folksy, anti-cop, anti everything government lol
Well duh but clearly some religions believe that you’re not allowed to sacrifice to help someone else. So it doesn’t matter if you’re responsible enough you may or may not be allowed to do things to help other people based on your religion.
Depending on which though, no matter how responsible you are you may not even be able to get a blood transfusion after an accident. So it’s not all up to you.
1·10 months agooh god, the difference between some of my old rips at 128 and 320 is damn near night and day. i though the song just sucked, but the quality was just shit. also found a track that got corrupt, but still played, but at 1/10th the speed, it was about 30 minutes long, but normally only 3 lol. just stretched the fuck out of it.
yeah, i’ve thought about it. but it’s cathartic to find music/movies, download and organize them, choose artwork in Plex, things like that. I’ve got them all organized in media monkey.
I use OnTheSpot downloader to grab albums from spotify at 320kbps - https://github.com/casualsnek/onthespot
Use Soulseek (nicotine+) to grab more obscure stuff. Can get everything on there, just sometimes slower and not as reliable as a torrent.
I use these sites for movies, in order of convenience:
https://ytssss.jamsbase.com/ (basically just YTS)
https://www.magnetdl.com/ (search sucks, but if you get used to it, it has huge libraries of TV series)
https://en.torrentgalaxy-official.site/
https://psa.wf/ (PSA RIPS)
I don’t really download apps anymore, so malware really isn’t an issue, but make sure you’re using UBlockOrigin plugin and a VPN like TorGuard
1·10 months agoshe may have been on the new one, i don’t remember.
Just upgraded my truenas and plex to 8tb drives. 1600+ movies, 60+ TV series, 40,000 songs. I seed as much as I can, have uploaded over 5TB this month alone. Come get some.
You can use multiple work accounts in the app, have some clients that have their clients give them accounts to communicate internally with them. Just have to keep switching.
I recently discovered the band Ween and the song Japanese Cowboy is so pleasing to hear.
12·11 months agoIt is a lot, but it’s rated high because it’s amazing. You could start with better call Saul, little slower and still as amazing.
Watch the wire instead. Again if need be.
2·11 months agoYup. I use one for DNS / pihole / remote into network. Already tiny, easily replaceable parts and any OS. I do prefer the dells over Lenovo though.
2·11 months agoCringe or not that song has millions of views and it’s a hit. I used to listen to it every Friday at work
Oh God this again
true detective. 1 is up there with goat, 2-3 is meh, 4 is tops again.
