Since I left last time Real Debrid threw pirates under the bus:

I used https://alldebrid.com/ but wasn't quite as good at the time. Maybe it's gotten better since RD 1st exodus.

Premiumize is what I switched to and use now. Has as much cached as Real Debrid did during their peak as far as I can tell over the past year or however long it's been. But it's more expensive since it's a combo service not just Debrid and it's a lengthy feature list that includes cloud storage with many ways to access it, VPN, and Usenet amongst other stuff: https://www.premiumize.me/features

Dried, Canned, Frozen, Fresh in that order of preference for us anyways. Off-screen half size chest freezer we've finally just finished the frozen sour cherries from the backyard tree last year that's now budding for spring. Besides that it usually has a bunch of frozen baked potatoes from my backyard again, pork cuts that were on sale, Mennonite colony DIY chicken. Vacuum packing keeps away the freezer burn. I have the choice of three discount grocery/markets near me where I can buy fresh produce it's just b-grade/misshapen. I've been slowly adding more backyard planters too but I focus on fruit tree/berry bushes since I'm a shite veggie gardener. Too lazy for the upkeep so just hardy stuff that I can't easily kill from neglect in our short growing season, hardiness zone 3B. Potatoes are easy at least but we ran out half way through winter.

Bonus: This week's slop pots. Metal pot used textured vegetable protein: https://i.postimg.cc/xdm5S0c8/signal-2026-05-14-144201.jpg

It's not real pressure, but it's certainly a convenient excuse if you're ideologically aligned with said group anyways.

The Dresden Files

Reminded me to look up if book 18 was out again. It finally is. Hell yeah, thanks for that.

If people haven't read before, it gets better as it goes. Kinda like The Dark Tower, younger authors age.

I'm not so sure anymore, I've had co-workers grumble to me so-and-so doesn't greet people back at work.

I was expecting worse from Firefox actually. Mozilla have had a lot of layoffs in the past few years.

There is, it's just this aligns with the owners of the paper.

InEnduringGrowStrong is one of the two admins besides TheDude and they've already clarified in this very thread.

Two things I noticed was most subreddits that weren't front pagers are getting way less traffic than they used to across the entire site.

The other is why I left: I saw a front page millions of subscribers subreddit go out of their way to temporarily bot purge during the IPO* drama. Upvotes went from 10k+ to...hundreds. Posting frequency fell off a cliff. It was so disturbing I left because I saw that in conjunction with Benn Jordan's video estimating how much of xshitter was bot traffic which he estimated to be a full third of all traffic on xshitler a year ago.
