And a widow (around half of married people).

I would be interested in the reverse: a service that regularly scrapes a list of google photos shared albums and saves the new pictures to immich.

Why is it difficult to get it? It’s inconvenient for them. Do you think people need to consult everyone else in the world and make sure that their own personal problem is the worst ever experienced by any human, before being allowed to feel uncomfortable?

They do have infinite resources (a lot of money) relative to the difficulty and expense of getting into a private tracker (not a lot of money). If you are in a jurisdiction where seeding is an offense, it is only a matter of enforcement priorities whether users who leak their ip address get targeted.

As someone fluent in Alien, I can confirm she sounded like gibberish, but the accent was on spot.

Europe is a small area while San Francisco is a large area? dude you are dumb as fuck, sorry.

Some are slums, some are decent. It’s not irrelevant, because you specifically said the US housing is unique because it was built fast. America was not built out in a rush in 10 years while millions were without homes, it was populated gradually over 4-5 centuries. That is a long time compared to the average lifespan of a house. The availability of lumber is a much bigger factor than speed.

After a while, many buildings were retrofitted with thermostats. I know from experience that in Eastern Europe until the late 90s, there were valves but no thermostats, and radiators were effectively serially connected, so if you shut a valve, everything downstream was shut off too. Some units were always hot and people were growing tropical plants and had their windows open the whole heating season. Other units were miserably cold, depending on where they were within the building.

unlike the rest of the world.

Europe had to build out housing extremely fast after WWII, because whole cities were practically demolished by bombings. Cities built huge blocks of apartment towers, typically from prefabricated concrete panels. These were made in a factory, trucked to the building site, and assembled into 4-20 story towers (8-10 the most typical).

The apartments are small, and typically have district heating and no AC. These buildings provided housing for lower income or middle class families, depending on the area, from Spain to Russia. In America, the closest equivalent are the projects. The concrete walls don’t make for very comfortable living spaces. Sound travels between apartments, walls between rooms are frequently drywall. It’s a bitch to drill into if you want to hang anything. District heating means too hot inside when it’s on, and you can’t turn it on or off when you want it.

This thought is so deep I will drown in it. When do people stop posting it?

Well, even if you don’t partake, there are trackers with subscriptions and they have subscribers.

There exists multiple types of people who upload pirated stuff. One of these types is the person who, instead of getting a day job, makes a living on selling content that they don’t own. I don’t know what to call that person other than a criminal. And it’s not too far fetched to assume that some people in that scene resort to pretty nasty techniques to obtain content, and that can be way more problematic than sharing torrents.

I love piracy as much as anyone, but I got to be honest, I am a bit irked by how much of a hardon you have for the amazing people who develop these beautiful tools in their free time driven by nothing else just an outbursting of love from their hearths. In reality, while I am sure there are innocent enthusiasts, many of the people who run private trackers, usenet servers, and I’m assuming are developing client architecture, are basically criminals who make a living off stealing protected IP and selling it to people who prefer a subscription for a tracker or server over a streaming service or over purchasing audiobooks, games, or porn directly from publishers. The arr stack is the infrastructure for hosting industrial scale streaming services using pirated content. So that’s part of the reason why the free piracy software is good. There is a very real paying market for it.

Edit: I’m putting a link here so I don’t sound like bullshitting. This is the type of illegal streaming I am talking about, which basically operates as an international organized crime group, with ties to other illicit activities independently of pirating. While I don’t know anything about their tech stack, they need a massive automated system to obtain the media they pass on to their subscribers. It’s not the need to organize the movie library of a middle age dad which justifies configuring a massive stack of services.

Oops, I read the headline like the neanderthals are building their own github and got really curious!

I settled on sublime. It is not exactly the same as np++, but works great on both Mac and Linux, so at least I don’t need to get used to a separate editor for those two environments.

After a while I realized that Word (the web app) does not render lines of text in the same position as Word (the desktop app), in the very same file. The former seems to use a pseudo random line spacing.

I just set up I hate money a couple weeks ago. Works fine. Not a perfect drop in for splitwise, but works for us. You log in by entering the project name and password (not separate user accounts), then select who paid and for whom.

I think what OP is referring to is that many supporters of “gun rights” like to use the argument that the second amendment is key to the freedom of America because an armed populace cannot be controlled by an authoritarian government. I don’t particularly care for that argument, but if you run with it, it would make sense that the right of the populace to organize armed rebellion is just as important as their right to own and carry weapons.

Maybe there is a FOSS self hosted solution for mixing good old tv ads into the mix!
