For indexers, I have DrunkenSlug, nzbgeek, and nzbplanet. My backbone providers are UsenetExpress, FrugalUsenet, and Giganews. You can use https://whatsmyuse.net to make sure you don’t have overlapping backbones.

Usenet, while way better than torrenting, still requires multiple indexers and providers for this reason. I have 3 of each and rarely ever run into this issue except for very niche releases.

Constant hand sanitizer - I still haven’t dropped this habit. I see hand sanitizer, I use hand sanitizer.

Crontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you’d do some log diving and figure out the cause.

Funeral potatoes are the one food I miss from Utah. The ultimate comfort food.

I think he’s probably a dick but his insults always crack me up.

Yep, I just got local county fiber installed because Comcast would go down twice a day, at least. On top of that, I was paying out the ass for shitty upload speed and to remove the 1.2TB data cap. The local ISPs are about $60/mo for 1 gig up and down, compared to Comcast’s $130/month for 1 “gig” down and 30 meg up.

Nice of them to attempt to point blame at AWS, I’m sure AWS appreciates that.

I’ve noticed the same wave hitting Mastodon as well.

If they eventually do have a search engine, it definitely can’t be trusted. GPT-4 loves to hallucinate.

Yeah, but the point of this post is to not have to replace the drives frequently in the first place. I run ZFS myself but I’m not about to buy cheap drives just because I can get away with it.

ZFS won’t save you the expense of having to replace crappy storage.

Pretty much anything “gaming” branded won’t be worth it. These days it seems to just mean “cheaper quality with RGB”.

That’s why I reject all in Firefox settings along with wiping everything at close

…found that 27.5 per cent of people who visited an emergency room for cannabis use developed an anxiety disorder for the first time within three years.

I mean, this study seems flawed in that they are only looking at people visiting emergency rooms for cannabis. Not very many people do that in the first place, and the people that do likely are the ones to show symptoms of anxiety and paranoia. On top of that, it doesn’t look at usage, nor the type of cannabis consumed.

Imagine having a King in 2024

“it works on my machine”!

Sorry, edited the title to not be abbreviated!

Isn’t this the same OP that claimed they wouldn’t track users and then in the next breath said they’d log IP addresses? And on top of everything the only two login options were Twitter and Facebook?
