Have you checked out Protondb.com ?

It’s been a lifesaver gaming wise. Nice to know most games do and can run on linux, it’s usually the ones with some sort of online anti-cheat that don’t run.

Just get a PC? Parts prices are low right now and they are far more useful than a console that has a “planned expiration” every 5-10 years.

I’ll share what a Harvard professor and copyright lawyer sent me in an email:

I write with a gloomy update for the Hachette v. Internet Archive appeal in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals: The court affirmed the lower court’s decision about CDL, and ruled that Internet Archive’s Open Libraires program was NOT a fair use.

One shining moment though, was that the court ruled that a “Donate Now” button does not indicate “commercial use” for purposes of the fair use argument. (Phew!)

There is more to unpack here, but we will be hosting a series of CFR talks in the coming weeks to discuss the decision and it’s implications.

FLAC is best if space is no concern. But when your collection starts getting very big, there are better options like AAC (which I use). It’s a lot less space than FLAC and mp3, and higher quality than mp3 as well.

I’ve worked at Safeway for a few years and one night my friend who counts the tills showed me what type of info they collect.

I scanned my own safeway card into the system and holy shit they have data on everything I’ve ever purchased using that card.

Musicbee was the only thing keeping me from switching for years. Simply put, it’s the best music player and even better is that it’s open source.

A few times when I download more than an album from someone,I send them a quick “thanks for the albums!”

Before I download from someone, I always check their user info too

Soulseek!! It’s awesome

1. P2p isn’t a must, especially after mullvad fiasco.

2. Look into Sonarr, Radarr, and jackett. Seriously, after months of being too lazy to set it up, I caved and am never going back. If you just want to stream torrents download stremio with the torrentio plugin.

3. Qbittorrent.

Gonna have to hard agree with this.

I’d look into Apple’s AAC format as it is the best compromise of space and quality currently.

I encode my FLACs to 256k vbr, which is high enough and saves a ton of space vompared to mp3.

Also I use musicbee to do this.

My week has been pretty good, I work in a library so I spend my lunch digitizing any book I want or at least feel that it should be saved digitally.

“We’re the good guys, trust me!”
