  • How do I torrent safely in the US if I can't afford a VPN?

    Jump

  • You could also consider looking into a private tracker. It’s not 100% safe but much more safe than a public tracker. It’s also kind of fun getting into it, but hard to get invited.

  • Skateboard Hardware Recommendations

    Jump

  • If budget is a concern, cleaning old bearings can go a long way. Soapy water, followed by a wd40 bath, followed by some 3-in-1 oil, followed by thoroughly wiping clean and dry, can make old bearings feel much better.

    But bearings are pretty cheap so it might be worth it to get new ones.

  • How do y'all feel joy without alcohol or weed?

    Jump

  • Walks, bike rides, outdoors. I often procrastinate but when I’m out I always am happy I’m out there.

  • The Website Reshaping Live Music, One Set List at a Time

    Jump

  • This is super cool. Don’t want to spoil the surprise? Don’t look!

  • Immich 2.1 Released with Better Slideshow Shuffle, New Notifications

    Jump

  • Live Photos works in Immich.

    One thing I really like about Apple photos is the memories that it suggests.

  • Syncing directories between unraid servers - best way?

    Jump

  • I use SyncThing and it works great for my use case but I think it is not the recommended option for backups.

    If you are running zfs on both servers you could look at sanoid.

  • ProtonVPN or Mullvad? Why would you choose one over another?

    Jump

  • PIA is also a good option if port forwarding is important to you.

  • What do you call these?

  • 50% of the time I would be handed a cable. Who knows what’s on the other end of it.

  • Plex Announcement: Important Notice of Security Incident

    Jump

  • I’m no Plex fanboy but from what I’ve read Jellyfin auth leaves a lot to be desired from a security standpoint, particularly if you are opening it to the web. And chances are if your jellyfin server was breached, you wouldn’t get an email about it.

  • Yes. Using sub-files and related features makes a 100+ page document with figures and links much easier to work with.

  • One of my favorite parts of being a math teacher is getting to write in latex all the time.

    It’s such a bummer collaborating on a document because they all use Word.

  • Do you guys just have flawless experiences or what?

    Jump

  • Yeah. I also appreciate the ability to actually fix most problems. I probably ran into fewer problems on windows, but when I did, the problems were beyond repair.

  • Do kids these days even have textbooks, or is it all on Chromebooks?

    Jump

  • As a math teacher I make booklets per unit. They’re almost entirely based on a textbook or two, but they’re all typed up by me in latex.

    It works well — one small booklet to haul around at a time. There’s also room for them to write notes as well as work out practice problems. And an answer key, depending on the class.

  • What's the deal with exodus from GitHub?

    Jump

  • What does Microsoft have to do with that? You can make the same AI PRs anywhere you want.

  • The Math Hack You Didn’t Know Was in Your Credit Card

    Jump

  • It’s a similar idea to how some RAID configurations work.

  • AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day

    Jump

  • I just learned this on 2.5 Admins.

    Router suggestions for a complete noob

    Jump

  • Almost all routers can handle gigabit, which is almost certainly what you want if you plan on doing local networking. A typical hard drive has speeds of about a gigabit. There is no reason to get anything slower. You can also get some gigabit switches (or even faster if you are using nvme on both machines) and connect two machines that need fast speeds between them to it. Most switches will be able to send packets to each other without going through the router.

    If you really want to do some learning you could try to set up an opnsense box on an old PC and connect that to a switch. It’s feature rich and completely modular and upgradable. This is probably the best thing you could do if you want to learn something but also the worst thing to do if you want consistent uptime since you can pretty easily break stuff if you don’t read the docs.

    That said, as others have mentioned openwrt on a used router is probably the best of both worlds - feature rich but less breakable.

  • This belongs in a museum

    Jump

  • I had so many OSX and Final Cut Pro DVD-Rs. And Adobe CS.

    Nowadays I just use FOSS alternatives. Pirated software isn’t worth the risk anymore IMO.
