I’m fully aware of what a SHA file is, and it’s entirely unimportant to me.

Admittedly, I did check the arch image I use at work.

Doing the lords work.

Permaseed is the default. To disable perma-seed would be to set an upload limit, like a time amount or a ratio.

I run a ratio of 2:1 for most stuff

This is especially useful for Books. Small torrents are so hard to find. I perma seed books/audiobooks and copy to my slskd directory because they’re so hard.

Not me!

Buy a pixel a or an older flagship.

8 pro, virtually identical to the 9 pro, is like $400 renewed on Amazon. It’ll be more powerful than your S8, but not that powerful overall. Not sure how it compares to an A series, worth looking in to.

GrapheneOS is the most stable OS I’ve ever used. I haven’t ever had any problems with it that wasn’t a result to its security features.

No. Apple TV is 2 different products with this name. Apple TV+ is a subscription based TV streaming service. Like Netflix and Disney+.

The other one, Apple TV, the one Sonos is copying, is a piece of hardware that plugs to your TV and downloads apps to connect to the other streaming services. This hardware piece is comparable to an Amazon Firestick, a Google Chromecast, Nvidia Sheild, Roku, and a slew of cheap Android TV boxes.

Why is this woman in a Rosetta Stone commercial talking about Duolingo

Load the whole movie into RAM and go to town.

Hardware is more capable… To do what?

I know some people play games and stuff, but as a streaming device, why? The newest Chromecast handles x264 and can support an Ethernet port just fine for like half the price.

Also supports miracast for the odd screen casting need

Roku comes preinstalled on a lot of the Chinese brands. I assumed the rest of the world bought those as well.

What are the transaction costs?

Is it to the point where I can feasibly purchase it with a credit card and spend it as Monero without paying 25% more?

Why is this ‘Apple TV’ like, and not Roku-like. Since it’s by-far the most popular.

Not another streaming service. Another streaming OS.

Apple TV, the roku/firestick/android TV competitor.

Not Apple TV, the Netflix/Hulu competitor.

If you’re using qbittorrent, looking into Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr. And maybe even jellyseerr and recyclarr if you want to get into it.

I mean, this is correct.

But this is a laptop. Probably just had laying around

Never ran a speedtest. Fast enough

The best, most reputable VPN, Mullvad costs $5 USD. Plenty are cheaper than that if you pay in advance for a few years.

The cheapest streaming service will roughly double that.

At the very least, be sure to put your current library out on soulseek.

Not gonna lie, I’m considering paying for Deezer to move back to this.

You can automate downloads with Lidarr. I’m set up to download every song by every artist that Last.FM recommends.

Currently, I’m using Soularr, but it’s really slow and not always FLAC and not always full albums and the metadata is not always perfect.
