Hieracosphinx, do gaming w A recommendation pleading post (with a twist)

APICO maybe? It’s got some crafting, but is mostly pretty chill, concentrating on breeding bees.

Dorfromantik is relatively mindless. You place tiles and create landscapes. There’s nice music too. There’s a sort of strategy to it, but it’s pretty light. Unlocking new tiles is the main grind. If you wanted a bit more thought involved, just about any turn-based strategy like Civilization 6 should do.

If you want to keep to JRPGs but at a calmer pace than FF7R, False Skies might be up your alley. ARPGs like Chronicon are also low on the intense/concentration scale (although like most ARPGs, you shouldn’t expect much of a story).

But more than any of those, I think Dave the Diver is your best bet. Ocean theme, doesn’t require great concentration (besides the odd minigame), and has a bunch to be taken in at your own pace.

domage,

Just got Dave the Diver. That’s an awesome pick for the described specifications :0)

brickfrog, do piracy w Sonarr/Radarr, is this still a thing?

Automation apps have gotten more popular over the years so yes, they are still a thing.

Sonarr/Radarr are the most popular ones but there are others too. Most work with torrents and usenet but you’d need to check the individual projects to be sure.

MonkCanatella,

fucking lemmy man, wrote out awhole ass answer to this and got deleted. god fucking dammit.

welp. here goes again.

headphones is a monthly subscription and not that great, not worth it at all.

lidarr is garbage and the folks around it are assholes. you iether love it and froth at the mouth when someone says they’re having trouble with it, or you hate it. It also is a fucking resource hog like I’ve never seen. MAJOR memory leaks

I use Roon and Qobuz, and Nicotine+ for stuff that isn’t on Qobuz. qobuz-dl is really robust and awesome and can do anything you want lidarr to do: just maintain a list of artists in a document, and qobuz-dl will automatically download anything new as it keeps track of what’s already been downloaded before.

The Roon folks are just as bad as the Lidarr folks. This shit costs $7-800 for a lifetime license and it does’t even include ANY music streaming. It’s just a music server and manager. And they don’t actually have tech support. Literally if you go to their support page, they direct you to a fucking forum full of morons high on the koolaid (bc honestly you have to be if you invested $700 on a shitty music player), tell you to get lost if you don’t like a program with bugs up the ass.

I would love to make an open source offering that does what roon does but also allows you to automatically download stuff using qobuz-dl, tidal-dl, bandcamp-dl, etc.

sqrambledeggs, do piracy w Guide: The idiot proof guide to downloading ebooks off IRC. With Pictures and everything!

My girlfriend is a voracious reader, so anything that helps me find new ebooks for her is much appreciated!

kostel_thecreed,

I would recommend applying for MAM then, they have an extremely helpful community, and special groups for different genres of books, which have recommended me a ton of books I’ve really enjoyed.

p.s. one of the easiest private trackers to stay in, so don’t let that intimidate you!

MonkCanatella,

Agreed, and I have found some things that IRC and libgen/anna’s archive didn’t have. Then again a lot of the difficult to find epubs are extremely cheap but even so I would rather own the thing than have some shitty drm version that only allows my to use kindle or whatever

kostel_thecreed,

It’s very easy to de-drm using calibre, but yeah, agreed.

MonkCanatella,

Yes so if you can’t find it anywhere, it’s almost certainly a really cheap niche ebook that can be had for cheap, just stay away from the DRM bookstores and I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

Though I will say, de-DRMing your ebook is not for the faint of heart. Firstly Claibre doesn’t support it anymore so you have to through some somewhat difficult to trust back channels and yeah it’s a whole thing that I’d rather avoid it altogether.

Though if you find it trivial yourself, you would do us all a great good if you made a step by step guide for your mateys

Rip sync

noUsernamesLef7, do piracy w What do you use to actually manage your stuff?

For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.

Library file stuff:

  • Two Radarr instances, one for 4k and another for lower resolutions
  • Sonarr for TV
  • Lidarr for music
  • Two readarr instances, one for epub/pdf and one for audiobooks
  • Jackett
  • deluge+openVPN

For library frontend stuff:

  • Jellyfin for movies, tv, music, audiobooks
  • Plex, for when Jellyfin is acting up
  • Jellyseer for TV & movie requests
  • LaunchBox for videogames and emulators
  • Calibre + calibreWeb for ebooks & syncing to my Kobo eReader

Haven’t set up yet:

  • flaresolverr
  • unpackerr
  • audiobookshelf

Doesn’t exist yet/wishlist:

  • *arr app for emulator ROMs (I’ll have to check out romm, looks pretty cool!)
Icedrous, do piracy w Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority but it doesn’t make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It’s functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.

The only thing I’m upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let’s be real: nobody’s really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I’m going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I’ll use them side by side.

It’s kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I’ve been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it’s “federated” doesn’t mean you can’t say whatever you want. It just means it’s not owned by anyone in particular.

Skunk, do piracy w Guide: The idiot proof guide to downloading ebooks off IRC. With Pictures and everything!

Damn I used IRC a lot 20 years ago but mostly for the lols and getting laid. I even met my wife on IRC and we celebrated our 8 years wedding anniversary a month ago.

But I didn’t knew you can find ebooks, that is great thanks a lot for saving this guide. I guess it’s time to reinstall an IRC client.

kilkil2,

Using IRC to get laid? incredibly based

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

Quill7513,

I like that this community is dedicated to the concept of piracy based on their principals. I’m not involved, but I appreciate it

beaumains,

I’m not involved either. I definitely would never do anything so abhorrent and inconsiderate of rights holders who purchased their copyrights fair and square.

Never.

Ever.

Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.

No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

Falloutbros101, do piracy w Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

Yeah switched to lemmy yesterday and currently finding it ok. I’m usually just on phone so it’s a little weird, but I’m here for the community XD

Skunk, do games w What are your favorite split-screen co-op PC games?

+1 for it takes two.

There’s also a pretty nice list already in the comments.

I do like a lot Portal 2 but wifey cannot play for too long with me as she becomes impatient. When that’s the case and she just want to watch a story like you would watch a movie, I play A Plague Tales (both of them) and she ends up wanting to know more and finally, crying.

Omnimater,

Lmao yeah portal 2 was a little challenging

unconfirmedsourcesDOTgov, do games w What are your favorite split-screen co-op PC games?

It Takes Two is a masterpiece for co-op gameplay and is great for casual gameplay. A Way Out was made by the same studio before It Takes Two and it’s easy to see where they were able to improve on the experience, but it’s also a great game for local co-op.

yeah I remember when I was a kid I used to do this
