A New Documentary Traces How Piracy Overhauled the Music Industry
  • Probably my all-time favourite non fiction title. It made me feel part of something bigger than just thinking of my teenage self as some lowly degenerate trawling zero-day torrent sites.

    4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?
  • our inspection saved us money. they found a crack in the outdoor tiling sealant that was retaining water. we spent $200 on their services, but their report helped us regotiate $5000 off our initial offer, which we had repaired for ~$500. for anybody tossing it up, it's a no-brainer.

  • No need to assume, you can see this on all of their comment history. They are claiming ownership of their words, or in the context, ownership of how they’ve arranged others words

    FOSS scanner app surpasses Microsoft for usability
  • I’ll go out on a limb here and suggest that most of the FOSS alternatives I’ve discovered in the last 12-18 months have been just as good if not better than paid alternatives. The issue they face mostly is lack of visibility. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I discovered Beat for screenplay writing for the first time.

    The Google Pay app is shutting down in the US
  • Do you pay for premium? I do and I feel like the experience I have on the platform is leaps and bounds better than what people describe on a free account. I wouldn’t put it past Google to actively make the product worse when you aren’t paying.

    what is your experience with online check-in, qr codes, kiosks and printed boarding passes?
  • Hey friend, there’s no need to fear the possibilities. If you are the person named on the ticket you will be able to board. Tickets nowadays can be scanned a multitude of ways, most airlines I’ve flown with the same scanner can read QR codes, barcodes and whatever the SMS style code is called. This isn’t about reducing options for you, it’s about increasing them. If you feel more comfortable with a printed boarding pass then they will be happy for you to do that.

    But in answer to your question, there’s nothing special about the cardboard the passes get printed on, it’s just to make it less likely that you’ll lose it or throw it away accidentally. But even then, you can just present ID at the ticket gate, they’ll verify that you’re who you say you are and let you on. So what I’m saying is; give it a shot. You’ve got nothing to lose.

    On lemmy everyone acts like reddit is dying and only the worst part is still there. and on reddit they are saying lemmy didn't catch on and reddit's worst part are here so reddit is now better .
  • Reddit blocked my favourite app (Apollo) and now block every IP I use (proton VPN) so I don’t use it because they’ve made it too hard to use; not because I hate them.

    Don’t get me wrong, I think reddit itself is a terrible company who I feel better not supporting, but I’m not going to act like there isn’t value to the content hosted there.

    I've definitely seen The Prestige (2006) the most in my adult life, it was my taste-barometer when showing a new friend or date when I was in my 20s.

    But we had the The Mummy (1999) recorded from TV on a VHS growing up and I recked that shit. I probably watched that film 30-40 times, between childhood days off sick and rewatching intermitently in adulthood.

    Honourable mention to Love Actually; thanks mum.

    Do you like a tactile click? Are you a sucker for screws? Or something you can put in any direction? Maybe it's yours or another country's power plugs?

    This is sounding more sexual than I intended I think

    I'm trying to find a fediverse community that might be able to help. I have a haugene/transmission-openvpn docker container on my Synology NAS with my PIA VPN account details and it works perfectly.

    I've recently just purchase 2 years of Proton Unlimited and am trying to compose a new project container with my Proton VPN account, but I can't get it to launch at all.

    I've been searching the github repo for advice but everything suggested hasn't worked for me.

    Anybody happen to have the same config as this and have any advice? Happy to pastebin my docker-compose.yml etc if it helps.

    EDIT: Okay well I checked my logs and found I had AUTH\_FAILED.... turns out I wasn't using my OpenVPN / IKEv2 credentials... yikes
