Pretty sure that 30 minutes or less thing hasn’t been a thing in forever

Forté Agent was a blessing

Yes. People still use YouTube. You can tell by the fact that this post and tons like it exist.

Sounds totally legit

If I’m at a barbecue and someone is grilling up impossible burgers, I’m not going to request they instead make a bowl of curry for me. Likewise when I grill for people.

Yeah… that’s not a thing

Interesting. I was able to pull the date from https://www.perplexity.ai however

“What’s the date?”

I’m not able to provide you with the current date as I am a text-based AI language model and do not have access to real-time information. However, I can tell you the date based on my knowledge cutoff, which is December 2022. Please note that this information may not be up-to-date or accurate. Is there anything else I can help you with?

40s here. Literally don’t know anyone who is like this

Usenet for most things movies, music, tv, ebooks, etc.

I don’t really pirate software or pc games at this point.

Torrents for things like rom collections and console games for emulators.

Also randomly will torrent things like magazine packs for old mags like computer shopper from archive.org for whimsy.

That’s actually a great use case for it

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC%2B%2B

About the same here. Its a cool idea and I really liked it but ended up stopping using it once I went with a headless Linux setup.

If dc++ can be done with a docker container and if i could hit my headless dc++ container er with an android app or even a web front-end that i also host, id get back into it.

I think the other issue i had was getting into various dc++ servers was a pain in the ass and downloading an album from someone would take days, if it finished at all. And the quality of the tracks would be questionable enough where it also had me running the downloads through other apps which verified the quality, track completion, renaming, etc.

Lidarr does all of this already.

So now that I think about it…

Eh maybe not dc++ again

Basically, automated everything for keeping track and downloading of movies, music, comics, adult content, etc.

Requires work to set up on a home server and costs money for usenet service and private indexers.

Once set up, you just plug in the shows, movies, music artists you want and the various services monitor indexers and grab what you want when it becomes available.

The nice thing is many of the *arr apps also can use torrent sites and interface with your torrent client so you don’t necessarily need to use usenet to use the system.

So, definitely positives and negatives.

Jesus, dc++ is still around???

God damnit why can’t ibm just be cool…ever?

They’re slow fucking Redhat to death. As a corporate customer of redhats for ansible automation platform and openshift, they’re so bad at fixing their shit and architecture for scale.

God damn.
