Kagi lenses “focus” the search. So normal web search definitely can contain fediverse results, but with the lens switched on, you ONLY get fediverse results.

Damn you sound envious

Hmm, it’s a bit cheaper here (I think - it’s been a while!), but yeah.

Electricity is expensive here, I think the server setup draws 40€/month, but that is for the entire setup of course, not just pirating-related stuff; plus ~9€/month for the two usenet backbones, and a couple bucks for trackers.

My GF is VERY up to date on this (unfortunately? 😆)

That’s mostly true, although you usually (in my case at least) I am aware of all shows I have available on Jellyfin, and it’s only ones I like.

For discovering new shows to download, things like Jellyseerr actually do give recommendations… No idea how good they are though.

But frankly, Netflix used to recommend a lot of things that sounded interesting on the surface-level, and then turned out to be utter shit. Probably not an entirely bad thing to be lacking recommendations :D

For Non-English ones in my native language. There isn’t a lot of them. AFAICT the one I mostly use is free for a handful of requests/day, but generously lifts that limit in exchange for a “donation” 😄

(It’s only around 20/year)

Edit: and just to be clear, that one Tracker took us from “basically nothing is available in our language” to “literally everything is”, so it’s money well spent.

For a very long time, I was one of the people who kep saying:

“I used to pirate until Netflix came along; now I pirate because of the fragmentation of services; should a good service become available at a reasonable price again, I will be happy to switch back.”

But at some point, that stopped being true. More precisely, my *arr-Stack + Jellyfin setup become so stable, I do no longer really think about it, while also getting better quality content, and often faster than I would due to global licensing shennanigans.

Another factor also is that at some point, we crossed the “enough content to mindlessly scroll until we find something to watch” barrier, which my GF actually kinda missed from Netflix.

The crazy thing though, is that we pay actual money for this: hardware cost; electricity; access to usenet trackers and two usenet backbones. All in all, I do not think it’s cheaper than getting Netflix+Prime+Disney.

It’s just better. And we will not be switching back, ever.

If you are at all familiar with / interested in NixOS, there’s Jovian-NixOS which essentially duplicates the SteamOS experience 1:1 (much more closely than, say, Bazzite imo), but allows you to easily switch to a different desktop environment like Gnome with just a single config option.

Hahahaha

Naja, mussr du die halt in einer Sitzung essen :)

Lol

If an employer wants to see your IQ, you probably do not want to work there regardless.

Verified by whom?

Sind die den Einweg? Aber ja, macht Sinn…

I’m sorry but how is anyone this dense?

Yeah… asking myself the same question here.

The position of the German state on EU topics has not changed significantly through this election. The Ampel-Coalition, CDU, and SPD each have roughly the same position on Ukraine. The fact that Germany will most likely have a 2-party coalition going forward does not change ANYTHING in the European Parliament. Those elections took place in June 2024, and will not be held again until 2029.

That’s like saying “Oh, Oregon just had elections for their state government and the makeup of dems vs reps slightly shifted; this is huge for US foreign policy!”

Sure, it can be a mood indicator, but as stated above, the actual positions are more or less the same, and the German state being a bit more swift to act thanks to a 2-party coalition is irrelevant for the day-to-day business and direction of the EU, which is governed by supra-national institutions unaffected by Germany’s elections.

Haha, fantastisch.

Moment, ich frage mal das Zwischennetz.

Oh… oh nein. Die Junge Union hat 2019 eines der Dittmann Werke besichtigt

Glas kenne ich tatsächlich nicht. Lustig. In der Tüte sind halt geile 1kg / 0.5kg Abtropf drin, das ist eine ganz nette Menge. Aber ich werde mal die Augen nach dem Glas offen halten, zwecks Plastikmüllvermeidung

Nö

Das sind in Essig eingelegte Pepperoni

Typisch, die haben Geld um mich für Schleichwerbung zu bezahlen aber nicht um die Packung zu fixen

Plus, you’re so, so, so wrong about nothing changing in Europe. To not understand the power a two party coalition has versus a three party coalition is like intentionally burying your head in the sand.

The makeup and coalitions in the parliament of the European Union are completely unaffected by the German election.
