Yes! All the wheels turn! It’s nice.

The post links to the original version of this. It’s the “innovation tokens” link.

EVs and solar panels have really changed things for the better.

I don’t understand why so many American shopping carts have back wheels that don’t turn. It’s weird. All four wheels turn on Australian shopping carts (or “trolleys” as we call them) so you have full 360 degree motion.

I’m a software developer and occasionally work on some dare/time libraries we use at work, so I’m going to add this meme to the codebase.

don’t you guys have some half hour time zone differences too?

Not only do some timezones have a 30-minute offset, but some small areas in Australia have a 45-minute offset and use UTC+08:45. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B08:45

And if the other country is in the opposite hemisphere, they’re adjusting the clock the other way. Daylight saving just started in California, but it ends next month in Victoria, Australia. The two states are either 17, 18, or 19 hours different depending on the time of year.

I used to use Dogpile a lot in the late 1990s. Coincidentally it was a similar idea to this and SearxNG - it was a meta search engine that combined Yahoo, Lycos, Excite, AltaVista and a few others into one interface (no Google since it wasn’t in widespread use yet).

There’s no tracker. Your link just says that there’s a central search and chat room server. The search just points your client to users that have files with that name. It doesn’t track anything else.

The server does not know which files you download - that’s just between you and the person you’re downloading from. You can download files directly from a user (e.g. by searching for a username then browsing their files) without relying on the central server at all.

You don’t need port forwarding for downloads, only for uploads.

Are you talking about torrents or about Soulseek? Soulseek doesn’t use DHT nor PeX.

Soulseek is a totally different protocol to torrents. It doesn’t use a tracker. Files are per-user. When you download a particular file, it only comes from one user. It’s like how Limewire and KaZaA used to work (since it’s from that same era)

How is the downloader going to ask the uploader for the file without an open port?

You need to have port forwarding enabled to upload. Get a better VPN that allows port forwarding :) AirVPN is usually the recommended VPN to use with Soulseek.

Either that or pay for a seedbox (a remotely hosted server than you can run P2P file sharing apps on) and run Soulseek on it.

It’s not like gtk3 is suddenly out of use.

That’s true, however the GNOME maintainers will drop support for it at some point. I guess Cinnamon or xfce could maintain their own forks, however the majority of apps target what GNOME is currently using given it’s the most popular desktop environment.

It seems like there’s some universal truths in the tech industry: trans women use NixOS and code in Rust, and a lot of network admins are furries.

Out of all the shitposts in the world, this is certainly one of them.

I’m not familiar with this app, but what do you mean “gnomed”? Do you mean the UI started using Gtk4 and Adwaita components?

Gtk3 is considered legacy now, so most apps that use Gtk will be transitioning to Gtk4 (and Adwaita) at some point. Gtk3 is starting to look a bit outdated in modern DEs.

I don’t use it since I use a paid service.

I also use an antenna with a HDHomeRun network tuner for local shows. Have you considered that? It’s only over-the-air channels of course, but combining it with something like Plex or Jellyfin lets you stream and record live TV from anywhere.

https://thetvapp.to/ is probably the best you’re going to find for free.

All the best IPTV services cost money and are hidden away, usually with just a private Discord or Telegram. The one I use is around $40/year but they’re not taking new customers (they’ve been closed to new customers for 3 or 4 years now).

There’s some well-known services you can find via Google, like Apollo TV, but they’re usually overpriced and just resell streams from a cheaper provider.

A lot of these devices are Ethernet-only to simplify things. Ethernet is more reliable, people that use KVM/IPMI for remote management usually use it via Ethernet, and it means they don’t need to bundle wifi drivers with their OS. Also, some of them are powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet) to avoid needing a separate power cable.

You could plug it into a cheap wifi bridge to make it wireless.
