There are plenty of alternatives, they're just all terrible

I've been putting up with Futo keyboard for privacy reasons even though it's not better than Swiftkey which has had the best predictions by far and had served well for many years

All hot girls started as eggs. So did the not-hot ones. And all men.

Also all mammals, and birds, and reptiles.

So then explain why everyone in the rest of the world uses Whatsapp and not SMS. You're telling me they've all had unlimited data for the last 10 years?

What about 10,000 1-person marches?

Dude how the hell am I supposed to walk my mom through setting up tailscale on her Roku?

And what if you have multiple friends all sharing each others libraries?

This is not a feasible solution let alone a "very easy" one.

Hey all, I know a lot of people are migrating to private torrent sites, and OK, that's a choice. However there are still a lot of people on the public torrents who are just leeching and not seeding.

Effect. Cause.

Well even if they ramped up to 75 jets / month today, Ryan Air would have to wait until January 2035. So yeah.

Why not airbus at least?

How do I clean this mess? (sh.itjust.works)
 
 

I've printed probably 5 kilos worth of prints with a lot of success, but exclusively PLA. I'd like to branch out to a new material. Should I start with ABS or TPU?

 

In light of some of the recent dystopian executive orders, a lot of data is being proactively taken down. I am relying on this data for a report I'm writing at work, and I suspect a lot of others may be relying on it for more important reasons. As such, I created two torrents, one for the data behind the ETC Explorer tool and another for the data behind the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool. Here's an article about taking down the latter. My team at work suspects the former will follow soon.

Here are the .torrent files. Please help seed. They're not very large at all, <300 MB.

Of course this is worthless without access to these torrents so please distribute them to any groups you think would be interested or otherwise help make them available.

A request for more email (self.cyber_activism)

To support Trump's executive order to close DEI Offices, cancel DEI-related trainings, and terminate any DEI contracts, the federal Office of Personnel Management has set up an inbox for federal employees to alert them of any DEI related efforts that should be shut down.

It'd be a shame if this inbox were so flooded with spam that it became unusable.

[email protected]

Wasn't sure of the best community to post this is, so feel free to spread the word elsewhere.

I'm on 3 different private trackers and they're great for shows and movies. Not so much for music.

To be clear, I'm unambiguously NOT interested in inviting anyone to the private trackers which I have invites for because that is explicitly against the rules and I always follow all rules to the letter. Feel free to private message me. Or message me on Signal

I need to replace a faulty breaker. Here's a picture of my main breaker box. There's no master switch that I can see that shuts off power to all of the breakers.

Following the line up and out of the box, it runs along the basement ceiling and out through a hole in the foundation.

Let me know if you need to see something else.

Edit. Resolved! I found a master switch on the outside of the house in a panel adjacent to the meter. Weird that anyone can just walk up to my house and turn all of the power off.

My private trackers do have them but if you're not looking for something specific, it's difficult to just browse. I'm looking for kids audio books to play on long rides. But I'd like a list to browse through and select from rather than thinking of a book and searching for it. Any ideas?

Edit: is there like a Radarr for audiobooks that might make it easier to browse?

I recently set up radarr and sonarr and I noticed that in Qbittorrent, it automatically adds the label/tag/category of 'radarr' or 'tv-sonarr'. (The terminology of label, tag, category changes based on how you're accessing it. It's confusing and makes this hard for me to search). I'd like to auto-tag/label/categorize by indexer because different indexers have different seeding criteria. What is the best way to auto-tag? Is it through radarr and sonarr or through qbittorrent? And where are the settings to control that? Or do I need a plugin or something?

Edit: I asked this in the Radarr Discord and they told me that you cant use Radarr to do this. They suggested setting up qbit_manage to do it.

 

Can someone point me to a helpful beginners resource explaining some Linux basics? Like what is the difference between "distro", which is what, like Ubuntu, fedora, Debian (? Or is that a category of distro?) And desktop environment which is what, KDE, Lubuntu, gnome? Like I don't even know I have these categories right let alone understand why I'd pick one over another and what practical effects it will have- which apps will I/won't I be able to install, etc...

I'm not expecting anyone to answer these questions for me, but if you could point me to something already written, I'd appreciate it.

 

So I have a Synology server that I have a good deal of experience with, so this post will be through that lens.

What I'd like to do is set up a Raspberry Pi exclusively for pirating. So Qbittorrent and Proton VPN to get started, later Radarr, Lidarr, etc. I don't think I'll have a problem getting the Pi up and running, but I'd like to run it like my server, tucked away somewhere without a monitor or peripherals.

How do I access it? For my Synology box, I just put in a browser the local ip port 5000 and I have a whole desktop right there. But when I google about how I'd access a Pi, everything points to using SSH. I know a lot of people have Pis set up like this and surely they can't be administering the whole thing through CLI, right? How do I get a similar setup to my Synology such that I can just get a desktop interface in a browser?

 

I just found out that Pass has offline mode from a recent email they sent and found language saying the same in the browser extension (see below). Proton is blocked on my work's network for some reason so as far as Proton is concerned I'm "offline", but I still can't access the credentials stored in the browser extension when I'm at work.

Can someone help explain?

And this is from their recent email

 

My (first?) 3d printer arrives tomorrow. I've been researching for months. One category I've been looking into is 3d modeling software. They all have drawbacks (too expensive, too hard to learn, save files in the cloud, etc) but the one that seems to fit the best is this apparently new one called Plasticity. I'd be willing to spend the $150 and then decide after a year if I want to re-up or just keep the current version. Or maybe I'd upgrade every few years or something.

Anyway, there are a bunch of great reviews and tutorials but they're all over a year old, from when looks like the software was first released.

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with it and could advise if it's worth the $150.
