“Don’t tell me what I want, you anti- American piece of shit! You terrorist!

You know, you use that word so much it’s lost all meaning, Mr. P(resident)

It’s like, at this point, what’s a terrorist? It’s a guy you don’t like. Big deal.”

No that’s why they never release any data about bots. That way they can pretend every account is a real user.

Absolutely but so does reddit, they all make a great effort to not notice bot accounts.

It would be easy to identity many bots by their browsing habits and other digital markers but they obfuscate all data that may give an indication of real users because, as you say, any drop in reported users is a drop in ad value.

Sounds like a good time to deploy a bunch of small raspberry pi vpn nodes at local libraries and other free wifi spots. I don’t know enough about ip to know if they can track you past that first hop

Yeah but why would facebook/x bother to check? Engagement is engagement. They already know there are millions of bots and don’t care.

I do find it interesting that thousands of discrete devices is somehow easier than them virtualising them devices.

It’s disappointing to see how fast a government can move when it’s something important, like holding onto power, compared to lesser goals like the safety and health of their people.

The good news is: that reviews wasn’t really accurate.

The bad news is: that review wasn’t really anonymous.

Some people feel its easier to have one for 4k and one for HD content. If you use overseer it allows you to designate 4k and HD versions of sonarr and radarr. Then you can give your users granular permissions around them.

Perhaps you would let them download whatever they want without approval in HD but if they want 4k they must wait for you to approve the request.

There is also no consensus on how to handle animated shows and live action. Some people recommend having a separate sonar instance with much lower quality definitions for animation others say you can make it work with custom formats and profiles.

Yes good clarification, TRaSH is almost synonymous with *arr in my head, but there is a chance someone got to this point without running into them.

Nb I use prowler to manage my indexers and point sonar/radarr at prowler but similar options should be available though sonar And radar.

You can limit the amount of queries and grabs your client will try per amount of time for each indexer. It is under advanced settings on the indexer page once you select an indexer.

This isn’t really a problem when you are just downloading one or two series but is a problem when you first start out and are downloading everything under the sun. Try limiting to 10 queries and grabs per hour for now. Might be a good idea to pause all requests for 24 hours as well as your ip may be temporarily flagged.

And yes I use flare solver for 1337

I also vaguely remember needing to have an account on ru tracker to make it work but it was all in Russian, and no English option I think. I had to use the browser auto translate

Use kickass.to, but they are just mirrors of each other.

I’d recommend setting up prowler now so you don’t have to do it all twice and if you want to spin up another radar or sonar later it’s easy to cover all your indexers.

Not sure about therarbg I can’t seem to add it either, despite having it as an active tracker.

What kind of errors? Usually issues are to do with incorrect quality profiles and custom formats.

If you don’t understand those then just follow the trash guides to the letter to start with.

To answer your actual question I use use the basics. Eztv, 1337, therarbg and kickass torrents. I rarely have any problems downloading mainstream stuff.

I hope the one benefit we get out of this trump fiasco is people starting to look around and realise things could be much better. Unfortunately dropping literacy levels are making people easier to trick. Memes and short form videos are one of the best ways to communicate to them. And you better believe that groups with bad intentions are paying people up post things that push their ideas.

Supposedly socialist is exactly right, but we’re not here to split hairs about the exact name of the ideal governing/economic style.

In a very dumbed down way socialism/communism is meant to value the goals of the many over the few and capitalism is touted as the bastion for individual freedom. But there is no end to individuals getting royally fucked, often in legal and yet unfair ways in capitalistic countries all for the sake of a few percentage points on a quarterly report.

Most people who are capitalism detractors don’t want follow in china or Russia’s footsteps. We just want a system that values people more than money.

In the meanwhile things are getting consistently shittier under capitalism and someone has suggested using brain dead woman as incubators to combat the collapse we’re looking at now that there are no new countries to exploit.

Why do you think we’re so desperate to get to space now? Capitalism needs growth.

You can support that system or you can try to work for a new one.

You were using an antivirus on windows?

I think the implication is that in a socialist/communist utopia there would be no need for continual growth. their only goals would be to make their populations comfortable and I guess further the arts/technology.

Obviously one or two non capitalist countries need to try and grow at the same rate as their capitalist neighbours so they can try and fend off the “democracy” that capitalist countries so often like to bestow on non-capitalist and/or oilfield owning countries.

How those types of societies would operate when not trying to compete with aggressive capitalism is unknown. No doubt human nature would take its course and we’d be back here in 50 years or so.

Not really. Without the need for upward trending squiggly lines to justify CEO’s next pay increase or predatory institutions looking to buy up any business that doesn’t show growth every quarter and break it up for parts companies can quite easily scale back when demand shrinks.

It’s unthinkable to us because we pray at the alter of the shareholder but there are millions of small businesses that maintain steady profitability (with little growth) over the life of the owner. Or are even scaled back when needed (market issues, owner lifestyle changes) and then scaled up again when it is desirable.

A business that is allowed to have other goals other than increased profit growth no matter what can provide jobs, goods and still a regular profit in all types of markets. If the population shrinks then the company shrinks. And why shouldn’t it? There are less people to sell too and less people looking for employment.

I’d say I’m a 4 at best but when I did some iq test as a kid (with an actual psychologist) I scored really highly on the spatial reasoning and can often imagine how things go back together or how the should fit when repairing something. But if i try to visualise something it’s usually taken directly from a memory, rather than created in my head…if any of that makes sense.

The second one. I read somewhere that when you want to fall asleep you should try to picture the perfect apple, with the lighting, colours and everything. Like meditation for people who don’t want to meditate.

I gave myself a headache trying to keep the shape of an apple in my mind.
