That’s the message I got yesterday and with that, I uninstalled bacon reader premium and am now done with reddit.

Started IF a few wees ago. Doing 5 days on, 2 off.

Doing it mostly for weightloss but also for the various probable health signals.

What I’ve found is its pretty easy and when it does come time to eat, I’m also not overeating and get full faster.

This is definitely easier to keep up than calorie counting.

I definitely have slimmed down a little in the short time I’ve been doing it. I haven’t weighed myself.

I do also work out 3x a week via hour-long rowing sessions, but that’s not new.

No idea why I posted this beyond that the OP caught my attention due to me starting IF recently :D

Usenet for most things movies, music, tv, ebooks, etc.

I don’t really pirate software or pc games at this point.

Torrents for things like rom collections and console games for emulators.

Also randomly will torrent things like magazine packs for old mags like computer shopper from archive.org for whimsy.

That’s actually a great use case for it

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC%2B%2B

About the same here. Its a cool idea and I really liked it but ended up stopping using it once I went with a headless Linux setup.

If dc++ can be done with a docker container and if i could hit my headless dc++ container er with an android app or even a web front-end that i also host, id get back into it.

I think the other issue i had was getting into various dc++ servers was a pain in the ass and downloading an album from someone would take days, if it finished at all. And the quality of the tracks would be questionable enough where it also had me running the downloads through other apps which verified the quality, track completion, renaming, etc.

Lidarr does all of this already.

So now that I think about it…

Eh maybe not dc++ again

Basically, automated everything for keeping track and downloading of movies, music, comics, adult content, etc.

Requires work to set up on a home server and costs money for usenet service and private indexers.

Once set up, you just plug in the shows, movies, music artists you want and the various services monitor indexers and grab what you want when it becomes available.

The nice thing is many of the *arr apps also can use torrent sites and interface with your torrent client so you don’t necessarily need to use usenet to use the system.

So, definitely positives and negatives.

Jesus, dc++ is still around???

I’m banned from Facebook so… probably not

That actually sounds pretty cheap. Unless digital ocean is way way way more expensive than aws?

Heh I can’t wait to see what that graph looks like in a few months 📈

I know that as soon as baconreader dies, my 14 year stint on reddit is over. I’m guessing I’m not alone and those using RIF and Apollo are also going away.

I hope lemmy is ready :D

This is so bizarre :D

Wow I didn’t knew lemmy had so few users.

Eh. Hes doing more than I am, activity-wise.

idgi

The problem: I logged back in to mastodon today and it’s dead af. I can’t tell if I’m doing something wrong or is just not used at all.
