Piracy isn’t thievery and we love to assist :) I also believe in sharing knowledge freely. Makes each other stronger and such.

Well, thank you kindly for bringing this knowledge to my attention!

And after all the Petra Parker submissions…

I need to know who did this to <Redacted*>. It was the Changeling Queen wasn’t it, that damn intoxicating enby dom

*I have been told her name is Gleaming Shield. A thousand apologies for the mistake

• soulseek is the sharing platform (not sure how it works exactly, some kind of federation with a central broker to search for users? Like how Matrix by default uses the primary domain for ‘discovery’)
• soulseekqt is the program that enables you to interact with the soulseek network
• slskd is a program specifically for remote running soulseekqt on a headless (no display) server, and serves a web UI with separate login so you can access it from another machine

The use case for slskd is if you want your music to live on a different machine, whereas soulseek/qt is for if you want your music on your primary machine. Another reason I keep it on a server is efficiency - I can expose my collection for sharing without having my 200W+ PC on, instead my server takes ~60W, ~20 if i remove the GPU

You guys use the internet to download torrents?

I second the existing recommendations. Unfortunately Lidarr is only partially operational. My stack consists of:

• Music on a large storage drive
• Slskd so it keeps my account active and supplies a WebUI for downloads (but if you try to browse users with 500K songs, the browser just dies trying to load it all in memory)
• Beetbox beets for metadata embedding, renaming and moving into the final storage as per my naming convention. Pro tip: pipx install beets[lyrics] to include the lrclib plugin
• Navidrome for hosting a personal streaming service. Comes with a WebUI, and is SubSonic compatible to allow any SubSonic client such as Symfonium or Tempo (available on F-droid).

For my particular use case (Proxmox-based container), I have a tutorial available. This can no doubt be adapted slightly if your system differs.

deleted by creator

Ya I’ve seen a suspicious lapse in archivals on my system, figured something was up but usually only need to wait a week or two

Great tips! Although if i may 🤓 just a little for the top right, it works because what you deleted isn’t the binary, it’s the pointer that points to the binary’s location. The data is still exactly as it was before “deletion”; the symlink is simply a copy of the original pointer’s info; and I’m speculating that the existence of any pointer prevents the system from recycling those addressed bits.

Hereditary transgender genes go wild

Aha I also was commenting way too much last night. Hope the meds go well - my healthcare provider often mandates a gradual switch of taking both together, and increasing one while decreasing the other, mainly to mitigate adverse effects. If you switched suddenly that would be hella rough.

You don’t need to justify anything, and thanks for sharing 🙃

Hopium aha. In this case it was true, and we as a community are too battered to default to the most positive likelihood any more…

I covered a few bases and was very wordy in my other comment to you, but otherwise yeah that really did not land for the majority. FWIW sarcasm was my first take.

Well. Time to detox after that read.

Edit: each of these are incorrect, and more wild theories based on misconceptions than simply ‘sarcasm that missed the mark’. We were the ones with the misconceptions, not Abyssian.

I get it, if you mean I’m being unnecessarily narrow-minded: there’s no need to single out one or two cruel empires when there are many… All of the most globally influential countries and many smaller ones are ethically awful and cause suffering, that it may be easier to count the ones that are wholly kind and benevolently ruled.

If you are subtly referencing the destruction of native civilisations for the unification of the newcomers: Many countries like Australia, Russia and Greenland (to name a few, perhaps less known ones) have natives a.k.a. people who lived there first that are horribly oppressed and shunned, but let’s not try to erase the most significant acts of evil in modern history, condoned by a massive portion of the local population. One wrongful act does not excuse or justify another.

If you’re referring to the systemic hate of Jews in those countries and most of Europe: please remember that the ethnoreligion of Judaism, the cult of Zion and the nationality of Israel are not the same.

*Edited out wildly inaccurate claim

That’s an interesting theory… I have none myself, except maybe they were being terribly sarcastic?

I’m surprised nobody mentioned romance.

If you mean sexually attracted, the most immediate label to suit the situation may be bisexual. But if you mean romantically, and body type/genitalia doesn’t matter much, then you would fall under Ace - Asexual, but there are many predefined labels if you wanted to use them. Demisexuals’ sexual attraction is tied to their romantic interest, for example.

For a while now i have identified as panromantic, omnisexual and in a queer relationship. I allow myself to be defined because that is my preference for now.

The British government paved the way for those settlers, don’t forget. They assumed control of the land, kicked out the natives and beckoned for all the Israelites to enter, who, obviously, started murdering anyone still in Palestine. This chapter of their cruelty started in 1948 and Britain’s government, who has always been a piece of shit, made it so.

No worries, sorry if it came across too harsh, essentially I could’ve asked nicely

I loved visiting a friend’s house and their cat was leaving their bedroom, meowed at me to follow him so I did, and he guided me downstairs to the food bowl. When he detected I was confused he then led me further to the cupboard where his kibble was kept, and waited for me to feed him. I did not feel like I had the power in that situation 😅 more like a barely competent servant
