Oh shit, thanks for posting this. GW1 is probably one of my favourite games of all time so I might have to check this out and see the place looking more populated again!
Nothing has ever been like the first Guild Wars, the second was such a massive disappointment for me.
Nopaystation, I’ve always found everything I need there and it is super easy to use!
I’ve listened to a few recently. Had a run of a few really great Deathlands books that have started pushing the story forward a bit more in a new direction and have been really enjoying it.
I’ve also been listening to more of the Infinite Timeline books by Jeremy Robinson.
I listened to Infinite 2 which has just blown the entire series of books wide open, it has made all of the previous books make a lot more sense, made a lot of connects and really linked everything together in a great way. Going through the series of books they often only had really small links to one another even though they are all good stories in their own right. Now so much makes sense and everything seems so much more intertwined.
I’m also now halfway through The Order, with only two more books in the series after this one things are now really picking up a lot of speed and this book links heavily to Exo Hunter that came prior. It is really a great series of books!
Average up arrows on my posts at [email protected] have gone from 1-2 to more like 4-5 recently so that seems to suggest a significant increase in eyes / interest over the last month or so :)
I mean I have no statistics but in every other thread of this nature I have seen this is what people suggest and it is what I do so…
Most people just make different accounts for their different needs and just switch between them based on what they want to see.
Dunno how you missed it, it swamped /all for the last two years whilst active.
It is more just the difference between UK English and US English, nothing wrong with using either of them this is just one of those things that I wasn’t aware had a different spelling until today.
It is like tyres - UK or tires - US. Tires looks wrong to me because I grew up using tyres but they are both valid spellings of the word.
In UK English we spell it vice for a “mechanical object used to secure things”. I had never seen it spelt “vise”.
TIL that you could spell vice, vise as well!
Oh cool, thanks for the link. I’ll be interested to try it but I’m skeptical it will be “high quality” until I try. Pretty sure SoundCloud only streams at 128 doesn’t it?
Either way I’ll give it a try and get a spectral analyser on some files!
What is Lucida?
Soulseek is great apart from the arseholes who lock their entire collections wanting people to basically pay them for access in the form of bandcamp vouchers or buying them specific releases to “trade” for what you want. Fuck those people.
Different things work for different people and I appreciate the input regardless just definitely isn’t for me :D
You’d hate where I live then, surrounded by university students in a city where the bin lorry comes at fucking half 5 every morning. It fucking sucks and I miss the quietness of the countryside where I grew up!
I appreciate the reply but I cannot stand those moldable ones that are like ramming a lump of blu-tack into your ears xD I find the opposite to be true that they don’t provide as much sound insulation and they end up falling out due to the movement of your body as you work. At least that is my experience with them.
The foam ones I do use tend to be of slightly higher quality and for the most part I don’t find them irritable apart from every now and then when they cause me some pain as I mentioned before. 85 % of the time they are good though and will stay in place for 8 hours plus without me having to fuck around.
Generally I’m happy with the foam ones I get through work, it is just that 15% of the time when they can cause me some pain that I would like to alleviate.
I have also tried the silicone ear plugs that are sort of ribbed with a more solid centre to them that are sort of a middle ground between the foam and moldable silly putty ones but they are the most irritable of them all as well as not staying put either so would not recommend them to anyone!
Interesting to read, I work with industrial machines and wear generic foam type ones for 8+ hours a day Mon to Fri and will often wear the same ones when I’m out and about to drown out the noise of society too. I dont mind them for the most part as I’m so used to them however every other month it was cause my ear canal to be quite painful for about a week.
I have always considered them but never wanted to pay the price.
Do you have recommendations of brands or companies I can look into for a decent set? I’m in the UK
I just finished the fourth “Beware of Chicken” book by Casual Farmer and it was great. I am really loving the series so far!
Before that was Torment from the Infinite series but I may have mentioned that in the last thread.
And just started book 57 in Deathlands!
Don’t get me wrong I don’t regret setting it all up as it was a good, if somewhat steep learning curve for me as someone with no Linux experience beyond installing a couple of distros and using them solely as GUI OS’s. In all honesty though keeping it simple and having full control over the files I’m getting is working absolutely fine for me and I don’t feel the need to make it any more complex with the various arrs, the only exception being I want to look deeper into bazaar as I need subtitles for everything.
Anyway I do absolutely nothing to clean up the files. I copy my magnet links into qbittorrent and set which folder I want it to download to, movies / shows etc. Jellyfin libraries are set to each of these folders by their respective type and then when some new stuff is downloaded I’ll just access my jellyfin dashboard and scan all libraries.
So far with zero file cleaning jellyfin has detected 85% of things correctly regardless, for anything not detected it takes barely any time to go into the identify menu, search for the correct title and choose the relevant correct info.
I’m running proxmox with 3 VMs, one for docker with the arr stack, qbittorrent and gluetun to direct all that traffic via my VPN. One for a Plex server (which hasn’t failed to detect anything so far without file cleaning) and one for the jellyfin server.
I recently had my first foray into this setup and I have found the arr stack to be all but useless on public trackers. I haven’t setup flaresolvarr so that I can use 1337x and maybe that is why it is so terrible for me but prowlarr couldn’t even find a fast and furious movie that is a popular, well seeded film.
Maybe the addition of 1337 would make it much better but I’m skeptical as to how much difference that one place can make.
I ultimately now just find what I need manually and add the torrent to my server via the web interface then leave it and everything else sorts itself, which I’m fine with doing.
Maybe I’m missing something but I think the arr stack is massively overrated on public trackers. I’m going to look into Usenet next as someone else suggested but it isn’t anything I’ve ever used and I don’t have the money to pay for any right now anyway.
Yeh, I was so hyped for that launch but it just isn’t Guild Wars to me. Everyone still talks it up to this day and I have tried so many times to get into it but I’d rather go back and venture into pre-searing again and see my man Rurik.
