and still on the original SD card

incredibly lucky. my Pi burned through so many cards I wouldn’t use it for a pihole again, especially when mini pcs are better and cheaper

(and before anyone asks yes I was logging to ram)

haven’t tried steam link but the raspberry pi still does all that for 150 or less

I literally only ever open these threads for the cope.

I’d say most people do, my only zero ratios are from IA

it’s the Disney+ jammed in there

simply replace it with “Disney’s” and it makes more sense.

m-discs have a conservative lifespan of 100 years

The price of ownership is maintenance.

Prices keep rising because people will pay ANY price to avoid personal responsibility.

hey, I didn’t memorize my NT key for nothing

“Rich can be cured by a weekend in Vegas. Wealth is terminal.”

And what exactly will you replace your logitech stuff with? they’re all going down this path now.

Talk to e-waste recyclers and see if they have contact details for anyone buying their office PCs. Businesses don’t give a fuck, these things are going straight in the bin.

Driving a car is only dangerous when you die in a traffic accident.

your logic doesn’t check out.

qBittorrent has an inbuilt torrent search function that can search multiple sites from inside the client. you should honestly never need to go to a website, download torrent files, or open magnet links, ever.

if you can host Jackett it really broadens your search options but isn’t necessary.
