I noticed recently that Gramophone has a Dates tab, a list of years in increasing order that groups Songs together. So not albums exactly, but pretty cool nonetheless, it grabs a random cover for each year.

1337x is my favorite. Look for efficient encodes like HEVC or AV1 for a better quality/size ratio (and ideally AAC or opus for audio). It's usually in the torrent name as well as the resolution, source, etc.

Oh you're right, under Tabs! Thanks

I so wish we could get actual wheat grains at the supermarket, possibly bio. Instead whole cereals are mostly sold as animal feed (so with fewer safety standards). It's bs. Same goes for soy beans! They give 'em out to farmers for a lot less than a 1€/kg as animal feed, but I have to order them online? While every corner shop has tofu, soy milk, etc.. come on 😅

Idk what their source was but I think you should look for cheapest "possible" to do a fair comparison (cause obviously a certain shop can have super expensive wings). Near me lowest for wings will be 3-5€/kg, canned tuna starts from 8/kg when on discount, but also has like 30% of seed or olive oil in it (so actual tuna cost to the consumer is more like 12€/kg minimum) Chicken is definitely cheaper everywhere IME.

BTW I'm talking raw chicken wings..everything pre-cooked costs more

I remember seeing a youtube vid from someone who had analyzed all products from one supermarket (after scraping their website), cheapest protein ended up being flour 😄

After all people can survive on bread, on average if I remember correctly we need just 11-13% of the calories to be protein according to WHO (or less if we are eating with a caloric surplus).. protein needs are vastly exaggerated thanks to health gurus and humans' unhealthy love of meat.

Btw flour and bread are not all the same, especially refined has very little fiber and a little less protein (protein content is used also to determine quality of wheat)

Hi, you can set browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled to False in about:config

They are usually separate things. Cookies are produced/saved locally, to be read in the next visit (by the same website or maany websites basically forever unless you use firefox containers or at least clear them once in a while). There's also local storage which is different but can also be used to identify you across the web. Ads, trackers, all of these categories are often made of many small components: you read a single article on a "modern" newspaper website, hundreds of connection are being made, different tiny scripts or icons or images are being downloaded (usually from different subdomains for different purposes but there's no hard rule). It's possible to block one thing and not another. For example I can block Google Analytics (googletagmanager) which is a tracker, but accept all of Google's cookies.

Or lock me out when I just had an accident in the yard

I don't use a VPN but still had to assign a port interval or something to Soulseek from the router; other software maybe picks a more sensible (lower) port number?

Oh another tip, I have set it to always create subdirectories even if it's single files in the torrent. Makes it easier to browse the main folder alphabetically later!
