Knoxvomica,

While I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, holy FUCK, you need to learn how to break up your thoughts with a period. You have 5 paragraphs and 6 periods.

Knoxvomica,

Screw that, I’ll listen to Nofx until I die.

Knoxvomica,

DM me if you want invites to private indexers. They are paid but cheap. I also recommend frugal Usenet because…well…I’m cheap.

Knoxvomica,

Just a cheap Usenet provider. They’re cheap for what the provide but in my opinion on par with the more expensive “premium” providers. frugalusenet.com

Knoxvomica,

Main advantage is typically less DCMA take downs. The public ones are public access and therefore the bots crawl those and submit the takedowns faster than on a private indexer.

Knoxvomica,

So wait, let me get this straight, people shouldn’t install Linux to avoid windows because they might make edge somehow critical to the use of major websites? Why not just use Linux anyways since that’s not happening anytime soon (especially not with the market share Chrome and Firefox have)

Knoxvomica,

It’s fucking moot.

Knoxvomica,

Exactly this, I think many of us just are not going back. Give it time, their little share price might not feel it but their sales certainly will.

Knoxvomica,

If you only ever pay for things that benefit you, the social contract starts to erode. Not helping those in need tends to reat it’s ugly head one way or another. That’s literally how taxes are supposed to work.

Knoxvomica,

From his Wikipedia:

“Murphy won a Progressive Conservative nomination in 1975. However, he abandoned it due to lack of funds. Instead, Murphy went to work as special assistant to PC leader and Premier Frank Moores.[4]

He then switched parties in the 1980s and served two years as chief researcher for the provincial Liberal caucus before running for provincial office twice, as a Liberal.”

Sucks to suck.

“Murphy argued that climate change is “a sub-branch of climate politics”. He criticized former American Vice President Al Gore’s opposition to the Alberta oil sands and in a 2013 column, called the industry “a dazzling and profitable engineering endeavor of which all Canadians should be proud”.”

Rex can absolutely get fucked, what a sellout shitbag.

Knoxvomica,

I work in oil and gas and I understand that it’s detrimental to the future of our children and grand children. I don’t hate oil specifically, I hate pollution and industries that purposefully drive humanity to the brink of extinction for profit.

Knoxvomica,

And I would work in solar or wind if my province wasn’t actively in the pocket of energy companies and purposefully dissuading renewable projects.

Knoxvomica,

Listen I’m not huge fan of China but credit where credit is due, they are kicking ass at transitioning to renewables, subway and highspeed rail and EVs.

Knoxvomica,

I’m here in Alberta, Canada and we are also using enormous amounts of coal and natural gas for electricity despite having almost perfect conditions for solar and wind generation. Funny that.

Knoxvomica,

Yeah Bahn Mi isn’t really Vietnamese since it uses French baguette, Tacos aren’t Mexican since they use European meats and cheeses not available to Native Americans, Thai chilie is from North America, etc. Fuck outta here.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

Knoxvomica,

Best place to start if you’re serious. trash-guides.info

Frugal Usenet is a good cheap and reliable option for Usenet downloading or search out some torrent trackers of your preference. If you go the Usenet route, let me know, I can send you some indexer invites.

I’ve run most of the arr apps on windows but Linux with docker is less upkeep and easier to perform updates.

Knoxvomica,

The setup can be a bit overwhelming but please message me if you get stuck on anything!

Knoxvomica,

The nice part about Usenet is it’s basically full saturation of your internet line, so if you have a gigabit line, it will come as close as possible to running downloads at that speed. Frugal Usenet is $60 for their annual account, in my opinion it’s worth it just for speed alone. I pay for Usenet ninja as well as a secondary account for failed downloads.

Knoxvomica,

This argument comes up a lot. MOST people are suburbanites who drive to a grocery store and in a major urban area. They can probably switch to something else with a slightly further drive. Rural folks and urban folks without a car are definitely going to experience a greater challenge on this.

Knoxvomica,

As someone who hikes the Canadian Rockies on the regular, I can tell you statistically I’ve walked by thousands of people on the trails and maybe 3 grizzlies. The grizzlies were far more likely to attack but due to distance and spotting them early to avoid there was no issue.

Knoxvomica,

I know I’m actively moving from No Frills to Calgary Coop. More expensive but so far way better quality foods and no more dollars going to Loblaws.
