Aha! Lucky me, since I am tall I don't need the person next to me to wake me up, the attendants can simply bang the cart into my leg! (it hurts like a BITCH especially when you're asleep.)

wger. A workout tracking app that is open source. It tracks workouts, rest times, bodyweight, nutrition, and a lot more. Also has the advantage of being able to selfhost the software incase you don't trust them with your data (which I do trust, they're nice devs)

Kodi is what your looking for. A debrid + kodi is basically netflix with shows from around the world, in high quality, on demand.

But, it is not available on TVs as a seperate app. Companies do not like piracy, so many applications that are related to it do not make the appstores. A cheap and easy way to get Kodi would be to simply buy a Intel NUC, or a similar mini-pc.

There's alot of good options (prices are for the base/cheapest premium plan plan) :

All are good options, do your own research though.

At some point it would become exhausting. You'd be mentally drained all the time; I honestly do not think it's the best to live life as if every day was the last, else you'd be missing out on life itself. Every single day that we are alive is a day that we experience life. Ups and downs are impossible to avoid, it's apart of it, but it's that experience which makes us happy to live - and thinking of every day being the last is allowing yourself to live in a parallel world, experiencing life as a mirage.

Another benefit of moving to lemmy, less tracking. Win win, I must say.

Edit: another 3 year old post. Sorting by hot is more than definitely bugged... Hope they fix it somewhat soon, cause idk what is going on.

Check the megathread man!! Has all the info you need. But here's a quick summary

There's generally 2 routes of pirating video games (on windows), and those are either Torrenting or Direct Downloading

  1. Torrenting
  • Torrenting uses the bittorrent protocol to share files p2p, meaning it is direct IP connections. Torrenting a copyrighted file (such as a movie, cracked game, etc) can be illegal depending on your country. Usually, in first-world countries it is illegal, while in 3rd world/developing countries they could care less. This all depends on your country, research it first. To avoid any legal issues (in countries where this applies) people use VPNs (virtual private networks) to mask their IP from people who want to report you to your ISP.
  • The torrent indexer I recommend for games would be 1337x.to since they are heavily moderated and have a low chance of having malware inside the file.
  • A torrent client I recommend : qBittorrent
  • VPNs are to be taken with a grain of salt. Many VPNs pay for reviews and have horrible software and/or privacy policies. I would recommend you stay clear of any popular VPN which is recommended on youtube videos, podcasts or billboards; they have the scummiest advertising methods, lack essential features and sometimes are owned by ex-adware companies (such as NordVPN, Surfshark VPN, ExpressVPN, Atlas VPN, Private Internet Access, Cyberghost, etc).
  1. Direct Downloading (Commonly referred to as DDL for short, which I will be using.)
  • DDL consists of downloading files from file hosting websites, such as mega, zippyshare, google drive, 1fichier, etc. You will want to use this method if you either cannot torrent in your country (meaning it's illegal) and do not want to invest into a VPN to hide your torrenting business.
  • The easiest way to download games through DDL would be with fitgirl (fitgirl-repacks.site). Simply download the files through the DDL mirrors, extract together, run setup, wait, and there you go. Takes a long time to install with a bad CPU, but it is very easy.
  • If you cannot find the game you're looking for on fitgirl's website, the next best option for DDL would have to be https://cs.rin.ru. It has a learning curve if you have no experience with cracking/pirating, but easily learnable.

I would recommend making your own NAS instead of buying a Synology or something similar. Check out !selfhosted@lemmy.world. Hardware will cost a bit, but it's far more worth it.

An extremely good resource to begin learning the server environment would be https://esc.sh/projects/devops-from-scratch/. He has youtube videos that are really well done, I would strongly encourage you to watch atleast the first few videos as they cover topics that you will need to learn, such as : networking, explaining how linux works, etc.

After watching a couple of his guides and learning from them, I would recommend starting a basic server using an old computer or the likes that hosts a couple of apps you will be using. Nothing important like a password manager, file storage, etc, just yet; simply the basics so you get a better understanding of using linux as a server. My recommendations of stuff to try out:

  • Installing PiHole using docker / docker-compose
  • Installing Wordpress using docker / docker-compose
  • Setting up a Wireguard server (there are also docker images, such as wg-easy) so you can connect to your home network from wherever, and use whatever services you are hosting (important if you wish to use your future NAS while not at home)
  • Installing Nginx Proxy Manager and learning how to reverse proxy your services to a hostname

After that I would recommend you transition to Proxmox as your OS, learn from there, and then start hosting file managers/file storage (Network Attached Storage part), zoneminder/frigate for the camera system, etc. Patience is key with this type of learning.

For the hardware part it's all up to you: amt. of storage, amt. of ram, how big the chasis will be, power-efficiency, motherboard with features you want (ex. more pcie for 2.5gbps network card), cpu depending on how much processing power you need, ... You will need to do your research on this, but I recommend getting a NAS after you understand how docker and the works function, and to tailor to your needs.

If you have any questions let me know, hopefully you can understand what I was trying to say, not the best at conveying this type of information lol.

Try connect, it's pretty similar to sync (albeit the lack of features the old sync had.)

[-] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

Yikes. Won't go well for them.

[-] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 year ago

aswell as sync.
