I always see premium nowadays as “not the absolute bottom of the barrel”

  • Premium hotel room: not the cupboard in the basement with a single mattress and a broken TV but the next one up. No view or anything though unless you upgrade to a deluxe or higher

  • Premium economy seat on a flight: basically cattle class but with one inch extra leg room and fake leather seat cushions. Still can’t lie down or access better loos like in business or first class

  • Premium spirits: supermarket own-brand spirits but in a glass bottle rather than the super cheap shit they sell in plastic bottles

Etc…

    For me it’s more about keeping multiple systems in sync and working as intended. E.g. I have my laptop, a home server with couple different distros and a few cloud VMs. Whenever I change a keybind in neovim or tmux or whatever, I just save the changes in a slightly different way and now every machine has those changes so I don’t need to update each machine manually.

    Not sure about amazon but if you search for deezloader/deemix you’ll find ways to self-host services that download flacs from deezer. Also, there are services on most chat apps that will do it for you too if you search for the same terms.

    Yeah lol last time I needed a new GPU because mine died, it was pretty much the peak of Ethereum mining. I was doing lots of freelance motion graphics work at the time and needed something beefy but all these guys were buying every high spec card that came out, in bulk, to mine ETH.

    Really hoping my 3090 doesn’t suddenly burst into flames in the next few months… fingers crossed.

    Never heard of flaresolver, thanks for the tip!

    I don’t think I have Limetorrents enabled so will add that too. Is that the priority order you have them in then? Leet, lime, eztv and then tpb?

    I've been getting this message with 1337x.to recently with whatever VPN I use so had to disable it:

    Unable to access 1337x.to, blocked by CloudFlare Protection.

    But do you think they're currently the best on there?

    I've been having trouble since rarbg shut down and have been having to manually check downloaded files because so many of them are poor quality, not even playable or completely different movies/shows. YTS has been decent for movies but over the last 48 hours it's been failing (maybe because of the cloudflare issue but who knows)

    • I know the easiest solution would be to cough up the money for a usenet sub but I don't want to unless absolutely necessary.
    • I'm not on any private trackers.

    So what public torrent indexers do you use and what order do you have them in?
