  • Premiumize. I dont fully understand. But they have server farms thst will download your torrent, and then you download the file from them. Its faster and your IP doesn’t see it as a torrent. You also dont have to leave ypir PC on if there’s only one seeder. If somone else has downloaded thst torrent before its already in the farm and you visit download it from them.

    However the main thing is they integrate into Kodi and my new fave Stremio. So you can just stream anything anytime without all the torrent stuff I just mentioned.






  • The funny thing is 90% of these crapps are just web wrappers, and 90% of the time its a SAAS portal they have just customised with a logo.

    I asked my gym if there ‘app’ had a website. After they said no I did some digging and found it. Put a web launcher on my home screen (or use hermit/aNative) and done.

    Fuck restaurants though. I’m not doing a table QR code, paying EXTRA (50 cent fee), giving you data thats not needed … And then going to the counter to ask where my oder is. I’ve seen this first hand and its ridiculous. Maybe MAYBE you can tempt me with a 10% discount. Having saved thst on not printing menus and staff not taking orders. Did I say fuck restaurants?




  • I like the idea. In regards to lemmy and its instances (so I guess a smaller Scale to what your suggesting … Though I still don’t fully get the fediverse).

    I did something similar when picking a Lemmy instance. What was the instance that had defederated others the least. There was a git page somewhere that listed them all.

    On the flip side I’ve heard a notion that no one single instance should become the “main” instance. Probably with your suggestion new users would gravitate to the big circle. Thus making it the “default”. But maybe it’s different when looking outside of lemmy instances to the wider fediverse.



  • My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.

    It’s easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know “just read the wiki” but sometimes we don’t have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to “just have a shower, and get out the basement”.

    It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I’m forcing myself not to. … Well that and Win11 isn’t supported.

    And re things not working. I’ll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.
