If anyone who has the repo wants to host it locally and then share the rad: id so others can help seed it, that would be great!

 

Max's paid sharing initiative will launch later this year, with a broader rollout in 2025. Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max will join competitors Netflix and Disney+ in cracking down on password sharing.

Enshittification continues.

Are there any US cities that are working on plans to use existing freight rail lines for commuter rail?

As an example, I noticed when I was in Tampa that their freight rail routes (mostly owned by CSX) could actually have decent coverage for commuter rail from the suburbs to downtown Tampa.

I also noticed that these freight rail lines seemed to very rarely have freight trains traveling on them.

Are there any US cities that are working on developing commuter rail lines that either share these freight rail lines, or would build their own lines right alongside them using existing right of way?

It would help to not have a complete mess of a naming scheme for their phones. It should be:

Moto E: Budget/entry level Moto G: Mid-range Moto Edge/RAZR: Flagship phones

There’s no need to confuse everything by adding 20 different versions of each tier with stylus/power/activ/whatever added to the name.

I'm working on a client/app called Agora that integrates bridges like bridgy-fed so that you don't have to think about those quirks, you just search something like "aoc.bsky.social" on it while logged in to a Mastodon account, it'll automatically pull up the bridged version of the account for you to follow.

Which search indexers are you using in radarr/sonarr?

DHT allows discovery of torrents by pinging the IP addresses from an existing torrent, and asking them what other files they’re sharing. It then pings the other IP addresses seeding those files, and asks them what they’re sharing, and so on.

You can either use a torrent search index site (many of them use DHT to create their database) or you can self host your own DHT crawler and have your own personal torrent search index, but the downside is it uses a decent amount of space to store the index.

BitMagnet is the best self hosted DHT indexer if you’re interested: https://github.com/bitmagnet-io/bitmagnet

Now that DHT makes trackers unnecessary in order to find torrents, what’s the point of private trackers other than gatekeeping?

Alright who do we gotta bribe to make sure this potential juggernaut picks the good old USA?!

Manhattan doesn't have light rail, the subways are heavy rail.

They’re a publisher whose content is hosted on their own streaming service. It’s classic vertical integration.

I think the current model is better actually, because then the streaming services have to compete with each other on content, user experience, and price.

This way, you only need to subscribe to the streaming services that have the shows you’re currently watching, and can cancel whenever you’re done with those shows, until the next one comes along.

If a streaming service bundles multiple studios shows together, then you’re paying for a ton of content you may not even care about, just like how cable is.

At the end of the day, unless someone is watching hours and hours of tv a day, it’s unlikely they need to simultaneously subscribe to 7 streaming services.

isn't about choosing the better product, but on which shows you have.

But you can argue that part of what makes a streaming service a good product, is the literal product they produce, their content.

Is this an issue for the iOS app as well? I'm guessing it's not, since mine is only using 80mb of space.
