Tausend Dank!

Very true; it is very hard to come find any content minus a few major movies. *.bg used to have a good selection. Missing my Scandinavian and German shows. They have a dark sense of humor and produce good content.

Found invite; was misinformed about site. It is torrent only and I don’t have the shows or applications to share. If anyone knows of a Scandinavia indexer please let me know. Thanks!

Very grateful. Community here is wonderful.

There have been several changes, yes. Thank you for providing a more up to date source of information. Keep adding to the community. So much needs to be done here. Thanks for helping!

I’ll post a list of active communties for you, not at my primary machine. Felt poetic. All are welcome. Some groups are dormant for what the internet considers ages however some replys are worth the wait. :)

It’s a place that is haunted. Hurt by the past. Small communities of friends who are ghosts. They hide obscurified in the noise to talk. Mumblings of a distance past of which they refuse to let go of because there, self hosted, they are beholden to none of this world.

Absolutely! The M2 is already highly capable. An M3 w/ DDR5 and PCIe 5, in addition to their Retina display? Hell yeah! I just use my X1 Carbon as a thin client machine; it really doesn’t do any heavy lifting. No lag on Windows or Linux; but I prefer not to have to block all microsoft instances at the router.

Classic. I loved the PowerPC days. Still run a G4 tower every now and then; works like a champ!

Truely it was aweful. Visually we couldn’t see the mountain range from 500ft away. Everyone stayed indoors with the AC on (we are lucky; we have a whole HEPA and several room HEPA units.

Conversation wise how was your 4th? We had a family gill out and a few beers and a bit of vape. Really relaxing. Had time to work on my project laptop (the Hackintosh; converting a Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7 to be able to triple boot). Did some admin; lowkey.

I’ve printed over 12,000 pages on my one brother laser printer! Only had to replace the drum once ($30); and I would buy my off brand toner in a 2 pack for $20! The other brother laser (scanner/fax/self-feeding) is currently at 6,000 pages! That one I’ve only had to replace the toner a few times. The most expensive thing is the paper but I have a deal with a few stores around here that I’ll buy their torn open reams for $1 each.

Yeah I had an HP and that mf would burn through a $40 cart in about 100 pages. Brother’s the boss.

I’ve never been an native MacOS users except prior to their Intel and M1/2 series chips. X1 Carbons are just a thing of mine I like; they run linux and Windows just fine; however there is no way to upgrade things really. The T series Thinkpads are great as desktop replacements but are no MacBook replacements. I guess to sum up: if you are in the MacOS linage, stick with MacOS. If you are using Windows, then Thinkpads offer some of the best laptop experiences.

Home, Education, Full 6" latex memory foam mattress, Quality sheets, Blackout Curtains, Thinkpad laptops (T series and X1 series; don’t game), WD red drives, VPN access (port forwarding; needed for hosting), FIOS (1gb asynchronous; no data cap; they don’t care), Brother laser printer/scanner, Email account on secure server (they take care of business)

Friends in Maine managed to also avoid it completely!

Close to New York. It was horrible here for a while. Apocalyptic amounts of haze. Yet people were still riding bikes, mowing lawns, running, and so on. Air quality index was over 300 for a bit.

Had a nice day; no complaints. Staying up late tonight to catch up on some things. No wildfire smoke. Did some research on making a Hackintosh for fun. Chillen with my family for the 4th; no major plans. Just resting and taking it easy. How’s everyone else doing?

I can’t fathom that amount stored there in addition to the amount of data traffic occurring. Those fibers are on fire; coming in the centers in 3 foot tubes! For some reason they don’t appear on google image search. ;)

One of the largest.

From what I’ve gathered certain really illegal content was being created and uploaded; and paid for using crypto. It really is a harsh shame to people who have obscure files or services and have been using the service for more than 5 years. I think they should reevaluate their policy and allow registered non-crypto accounts to have access to it after a certain period of time. Simply removing the feature is unacceptable; I put my trust in IVPN after much research. I’m concerned about how the other providers will handle the windfall of new users signing up for the feature and if they will keep it active.

Does anyone remember the add on voice to speech and advanced sound module that chunked into the right hand side of that machine. It was black magic back then.
