sqrambledeggs, 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

thedrizzle,

Wow that’s old.

Frankly, as shitty is a lot of that stuff was, DVDs were like the last form of media distribution that I would actually call tolerable in terms of consumer friendliness. You still got a physical disk with the actual movie that was easy to rip and share, no internet required. If it weren’t for the quality limitations, I’d still collect them as the primary physical backup to my media server.

the only big shortcoming to DVDs was the region locking …

monstoor,

That’s why we had a market for region-free DVD players!

max2078,

Some of these players even skipped the unskippable intros and always started at the main menu. The best thing for legit buyers and enthusiasts back in the day. And don’t forget the (S)VCD support and DivX/Xvid support. Good old times.

brickfrog, 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.

thedrizzle, w It’s true

With Sonarr/Radarr and Jellyfin, that convenience has effectively been trumped. I don’t know how they can compete

mojo, w Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it?

Reminder that Microsoft is trying to shift Windows to be entirely cloud based, so this can easily happen overnight without your consent. You don’t own your OS. Linux is the only way, unless you’re one of those strange BSD folks.

So far the only comments have been ‘everyone knows this already’, but I did not, so thank you for posting it

littlecolt, w Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it?

I switched to pop os recently and I’m never going back to Windows. It’s easier now than ever to switch to Linux, even for gamers. Steam, proton, and wine have made running your Windows apps and games in Linux so easy. You’d have to have a very specific use case to justify staying with Windows now.

Here’s a fun one: I own two video capture devices, an Elgato HD 60 S and an Avermedia LiveGamer Portable 2. Both do not work in Linux. I found a simple USB HDMI capture device that works in Linux and cost a fraction of what thosmother overhyped ones cost me. It works way better than they ever did. That was one of my last adjustments. I can still stream my Switch and PS5 on Twitch, no problem.

That’s a pretty niche use case and it was easy.

Was changing his name to Bowser a part of the release?

How does that work though if you rent a car? You don’t own it, but still stealing if you “steal” it.

atlasraven31,

You’re preventing its use by someone else (assuming you bring it back in one piece).

That's why I claim ownership of every hotel room I've ever stayed in and every car I've ever rented.

riquisimo,

When you rent a hotel room or car you’re preventing others from using that hotel room or car.
