Look, i'm buying two hard drives no matter what to anticipate a drive failure. In that case, if i'm anticipating a failure anyway, might as well buy them second-hand and, yes, save a ton of money.

The key is to look for a CrystalDiskInfo screenshot in the ad, which is indicative of a serious seller and also lets you know the drive's condition. If you buy from a professional, you may get a warranty.

Man i've have dozens of usernames spanning 15 years but i ALWAYS get comments about my username being funny lmao

Yeah, the key is to add "umm" and "uhh" here and there. Makes it conversational

Fucking, uh, keys and a wad of cash. Oh and phone i guess. I kinda stuff them wherever depending on what i'm wearing, i don't have that many pockets so i don't fumble for them that much. This one pair of jeans has a hole in the pocket, i don't remember which one, but basically can't put coins in that. Um. Yeah

So now the problem is sharing your IP with every member of the P2P swarm.

I was gonna say superhero movies but that's more a thing of the 2020s.

Regardless, i think the current phase of Hollywood won't go down in history, all these remakes being unceremoniously shoved into streaming services to be forgotten forever will leave a black hole where 2020's culture should be.

You mean you tell them to KYS right?

Allright knuckleheads, here's what you do:

  1. Follow people who's content you're interested in

  2. Browse Following and not For You

  3. That's litterally it

I get so peeved when people browse algorithmic feeds and then complain that they see bad content. You fools. You cretins. I'll have you know that i actually have a pleasant experience on Twitter AND THAT'S NOT A JOKE, i genuinely have a good time on a bad website purely because i stay away from the For You feed. It's literally that simple. The only time i get conservative propaganda is when someone i follow quote tweets it with a snarky response.

I've had someone assume i was a nazi because i'm still on Twitter and i got a little (too) mad at them because we clearly don't share the same reality. They browsed For You and quite rightfully left the site never to return, and they don't understand how i'm able to stay; no shit, i'm able to stay because i don't browse Following.

Now the thing is, this is how i've always used the internet, from the start i've built my follows list with this browsing habit in mind so i only follow like 200 people with the specific purpose of seeing their content; but for a lot of users, following is more like pressing "like" on a profile, and they end up following 5000 accounts. In that case you're gonna get way too much content sprayed at you and pruning your follows list is going to take forever. I don't know what to do in that situation tbh

An under-appreciated fact about fascists is their karen-adjacent sense of entitlement and victimhood. Which will be amplified if they become the target of violence.

Has anybody tried to get TempleOS to run Doom?

As a lazy fuck who has let his dishes get gross and moldy more than once, i doubt these glasses are too gross to clean.

It's even the case for physical media, like paper and carved stone, because over a long enough time people forget the language that they were written in. Historians had to teach themselves how to read ancient egyptian, and off the top i think a lot of Maya inscriptions are still a mystery.

Oh right, it's obviously too late to swap. Small detail i forgot lol

Almost always my movies even though i have tons of music, and always the most obscure shit. I have Disney movies and Breaking Bad, but people go for the auteur french sci-fi animated features.

Soulseek gives me much the same joy of sharing as torrent does, perhaps more so because it's one-on-one with a username instead of an IP.

It's very easy to contribute to Soulseek as opposed to torrent, you just mark your shared folders. I think there's probably more content as a result, at the cost of the inefficiency of multiple people offering the same thing. Which i'm not sure matters.

I don't know if the rooms are really worth it. You only get the messages starting when you logged in, so you can't catch up to what happened before; this problem is particularly relevant because most rooms are dead; those that aren't dead consist of a lot of vicious arguments; and it's live chat anyway, never my favorite format for discussion.

I prefer Soulseek to eMule just because it works, but i also found it simpler.

Unfortunately my VPN doesn't play well with Soulseek, apparently it doesn't support port forwarding? I'm not sure how to fix this. It may in fact have been a problem when torrenting too the whole time and i didn't notice.

Overall i really enjoy Soulseek and will probably always have it in the background, it's pretty great!

 

According to Wikipedia, the lastest version of eMule was released in 2010, but "official forum users" developed an updated version as of 2017.

Is this information up to date? Is that still true? I'd feel a lot better installing something on my computer that was last updated at least in this decade, which version of eMule should i pick, if any?

EDIT: i'm downloading this.

Thanks everyone!
