I jump between a lot of profiles for work and chrome makes that too easy. It’s the only thing holding me back from switching to Firefox.

Fast Profile switching? I’m downloading this immediately when I get home.

I was pleasantly surprised that my Sony tv has a basic option so you can use it just as a screen. All smart stuff disabled.

Sideloading apps on iOS has gotten a lot easier. I use sideloadly. It has to connect to your computer (wirelessly) once a week but does this automatically in the background. I’m still running Apollo, the best Reddit iOS app this way.

I have YT premium through Sri Lanka for $3/mo. Sponsorblock works in safari.

ROM apps like delta are in the App Store now. I have no idea about phone gaming otherwise.

Never ran into any content filtering.

If your gf uses iOS try it out there first and see how you like it.

New iPhones release on a pretty strict schedule each September so even if you don’t want the new model best to wait for older ones to be discounted.

Got the fork of prowlarr you recommended up and running but getting a timeout on adding ABB. Will try again later. For now, it is working in jackett again so that is a good temp solution. I will ideally have both running so there is a backup if one goes down later.

Deleting and readding it worked!

It seems ABB asked prowlarr not to use its api.

MAM = myanonymouse

Stopped working for me. I’ll delete and readd when back home.

They just blocked a few of the main ones. I was able to sign up from Sri Lanka last week for ~$4/mo family plan. Might meet more investigating to see where works.

Whenever there is a question in the article title just assume the answer is no. Saves time and is true for clickbait like this.

This will be an unpopular answer but I use Nordvpn mainly because during Black Friday sales you can get it essentially for free using a cash back portal. The start of the sale last year, which I missed, was offering over 100% cash back. They’d pay you to use it!

Others are better but if the level of protection you’re looking for is “Comcast stop sending me piracy warnings” this’ll work.

It does seem unlikely Plex would include this ever. Hate their generic pivot to ad supported bs. But as a lifetime sub to Plex I’m riding it down.

I hear jellyfin supports plugins which is one step easier.

At home I watch on an Apple TV with a nas running isponsorblock. Works well but is a single device/location solution. And I am still paying for YouTube premium.

Interesting. Just need it to work on a server with an interface as effortless as sonarr.

What if I want to watch on my tv or download for offline use?

Yep. Add to the server with ads and sponsor bs removed.

Interesting. I’d not considered that Plex could build it in. That of course relies on accurate YouTube metadata but it’s not impossible.

Arr software for YouTube with Sponsorblock built in.

A way to use Sponsorblock on podcasts.

Would be great for commentary tracks too.

I wish there was arr software for YouTube that included Sponsorblock. Every one I’ve tried hasn’t really worked. Need it to be automated or I’m stuck using YouTube.

A quick googling says these are both shut down. RIP.

Anyone have a private tracker invite they’d share with me? Lidarr is the only arr I haven’t set up yet. Wouldn’t mind upgrading my library which I haven’t looked at since college.

Colin mentioned his “friend’s” plex. One of us. One of us.

Loved Cradle as well which is the only other progression fantasy I think I’ve read.

I really loved this book. Discovered it when he was halfway done then read it all again in preparation for the finale. I’d say the end was good overall but it didn’t quite satisfy me. The middle section was my favorite. Seeing Zorian’s gradual improvement over time, honing his skills, becoming overpowered, all that was excellent.

I’d love to block any headlines that mention musk from the technology community.

I also read one of the spin-off books and thought it was pretty good. No idea why the movie was so bad.

Veronica Mars. Incredible first season followed by 2 lesser but still good seasons. They made an incredible kickstarter video for a revival movie that I believe was the biggest kickstarter ever at the time. But the movie was really bad. There was another Hulu season after that I can barely remember watching except for the awful ending.

Some things should just stay dead.

Read the original article to get the basics of the idea. But I also recommend all of his books.

I didn’t know that about the button area!

Wow, never heard of cinemageddon but it sounds right up my alley. I host a weekly ‘bad’ movie watch party and am always looking for more sources.

I have fios and a media server nas. I have good upload ratio with 3 other private trackers if anyone would be kind enough to invite me I will seed.

I’m a big fan of Deathstalker 2. Monique Gabrielle’s line delivery and eyebrows are top tier b movie. You can’t teach that.

Or you get a set top box and don’t worry about the trash software that comes with the tv.

I really like my newish sony tv that has a basic mode. Disables all the smart BS so it functions just as a screen. I use an Apple TV or ps5 for all content.

Same here. I remember watching What the Bleep do we Know in high school. As someone who basically watched The Matrix on a loop, I would have been a likely target for right wing grifters. Luckily the Bush years thoroughly pushed me very far away from any right leaning ideology. I probably have the daily show to thank for that.

Sounds like a great start.

Early tip about chase cards, you can fund bank accounts with them. Often there will be an associated bank account bonus too. I love closing out a chase card completely with couch MS.

Interesting. Detected the same way, audio scan? Maybe I need to finally try it out.

What sealed the deal for me was skip intro. Incredible feature I don’t believe any other option has.

Wait for lifetime memberships to go on sale if you can. There are a few sales a year. Usually on Black Friday.

I don’t care for Family Guy either. But if you like slow, contemplative sci-fi, The Orville surprisingly delivers.

It feels more like Trek than anything from this decade.

I was pleasantly surprised by Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds is growing on me. The rest of New Trek really didn’t interest me.
