I mostly work with people who learned to speak English in India, and most of them say line-ux or lean-ux. I always assumed it was an accent thing. Though there are a million distinct accents in India, and I'm not really well educated on them, so I'm sort of guessing.

I have started pirating heavily again after years of not doing it. I set up a VPN container and a qbittorrent container that shares the VPN container's network, so VPN is always running for qbittorrent, but it isn't affecting the rest of my server. Then I log into a webpage on my local network and download whatever I want. The volume mount I chose for the download directory is my Plex directory, so it automatically gets put on Plex.

It's honestly easier to pirate than to search for which streaming service something is on. When I pirate, everything is in the same place.

Yes, that's a great idea. Would a customizable message at the bottom of the post be sufficient? You could have it mention the contact person and word it however you want.

I guess great minds think alike, because I actually created an issue for customizable log levels earlier today! I do have it configured though to only allow either 10 or 20 MBs of logs before it starts overwriting the old ones. Perhaps I could make that customizable as well. Early on, I was running into tons of issues, so I needed extremely verbose logging to track them all down. But the main issues have been taken care of (until the NHL decides to change their API again. 😭)

I'm not running mine as root. That's a pet peeve of mine as well. It's why I use podman instead of docker. Podman has rootless built-in and default, whereas a lot of configuration is required to make docker run rootless. Nothing about the bot requires root, and I plan on keeping it that way forever.

Hell, I even figured out a way to get my Lemmy instance to run rootless with podman. I often wonder if I was the first one to figure that one out. Though I have since taken my instance down, as I the other Lemmy instances have stabilized.

Hi All! I am the developer of this bot. I just wanted to drop in and say hello and make sure it is working as expected. Y'all are only the third deployment behind [email protected] and [email protected], so I am a bit nervous that something is gonna break if I don't check on it constantly. 😅

It looks like in the conversation here, some folks are asking about customization. An issue has already been created for customizing when the post is made. If anyone has any other suggestions, either shoot me a message here on lemmy or create an issue on github.

I will admit that I have been spending less and less time developing this bot as other projects have been taking priority. But if there is renewed interest in this project, I will do my best to commit the time to it that is needed.

My cat loves being picked up, so she would do it again for that alone.

I once was at a social gathering where two vegans were arguing about who was more vegan. It was exhausting.

I have a some variety of scratcher on every corner of the couch. I have some rope ones, carpet ones, a low one. My cat really just prefers to scratch the couch. Any attempt to persuade her to scratch the scratchers, she sees as a fun game and scratches the couch more.

Very good points.

Oh yikes. That sucks. I mean, I don't mind the internet connection. I always have one. But the season pass is not a good omen, unless it is just for the DLC when it comes out, like how games were 10 years ago. But I feel like it hasn't meant that in a long time. Also, Ubisoft doesn't have a good track record.

I feel horrible for the Arizona fans who have been loyal through ineffective ownership. The fans deserve better.

Wait is the star wars game a live service? I thought it was a single player game.
