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?

    On the health front, the number of people calling themselves Dr. Whatever on YouTube and social media talking about all kinds of health conditions is huge. They talk about anything from dermatology to diets to cancer prevention but when you actually look into what type of doctor they are, it always ends up being Doctor of Chiropractic a.k.a. Doctor of pseudoscientific semi-religious bullshit that isn’t even recognised in my country, but for some reason is in the US, yet they go about masquerading as real medical doctors!

    Drives me nuts!
