Plex+Sonarr+Radarr. Netflix raising subscription rates again? Yarrr, not my concern. Studios locking away their content behind exclusivity agreements? Yarrr. "This program is not available in your country"? YARRR!

Decent chance that post was written by AI as well. Or it was a marketing copywriter. Either way it wasn't written by a normal human.

Usenet as daily driver works 99% of the time. Only use VPN/torrents for extremely new or very obscure shows. $5/month pays for unlimited Usenet and VPN.

That's an unwinnable campaign - there is no escape from Flavor Town.

When Hamachi became unusable I switched to Tailscale to connect my phone, my laptop, and all my local PCs together. It just works, flawlessly. There are more features they offer like Exit Nodes (proxy servers to force Internet traffic through another PC on your Tailscale Network) and sharing your tailnet nodes with another Tailscale user on a separate tailnet, but realistically I just use it like I used Hamachi - as a dead-easy VPN between all my personal devices.

I'm assuming 1172 is a count of donations to official mainstream servers. I have definitely contributed to my local server.

They only care about monetization. If they can achieve that easier with a new UI you know they're going to do that. Old.reddit.com and the current www.reddit.com are both expendable if they can make more money without them. This is the new, publicly-traded corporation Reddit. Tradition be damned, they will make their money in whatever manner pays best.

Good thing Naval warships don't have windows you can fall out of. Railings on the other hand....

I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.

I'm in favor of this, but how did it pass when "two out of four commissioners voted against the measure"?

Elon Musk has already taken the initiative...bless his heart.

uBlock Origin has kept their filters up-to-date for me. Still no ads, and no blocks from YouTube, since day 1. I did disable my other privacy extensions like Privacy Badger and Ghostery on YouTube to stay on their "good" side however.
