If only. I’m a student living in student accommodation. I can’t set up a NAS because hosting things on the network is against their policy, and I also wouldn’t feel comfortable having that type of hardware in my room. And if electricity bills skyrocket because of me, I’ll be forced to pay them.

What’s a safe place to buy storage online? I’ve seen horror stories of an sd card in a drive enclosure, and modifying the storage to make it appear larger than it is.

Are cheap

Yeah, right. I know they’re cheaper than they were but they can’t be that cheap.

finds a high-speed 2tb m.2 from Kingston (a brand I trust) for £120

I stand corrected.

I’ve just realized there’s an animated series on Youtube, that I’ve had a really hard time (read: impossible) finding anywhere else, and if LEGO (yes, I’m talking about Ninjago) decides to delete these videos from their channels, the OG seasons are nowhere to ve found as far as I can tell. Yes, there are some cartoon streaming services but those are few in number and getting fewer, so I wouldn’t bet on them or any new ones that spring up having that content available in 5-10 years. And that’s worrying. Time to download all 15 seasons and store them somewhere! (oh shit, I don’t have enough space, do I)

Edit: found them on a downloads site from the piracy megathread, but only Seasons 1-11. I’ll get them all soon enough.

Edit 2: The first 11 seasons from that website come up to just over 105GB and I don’t have the space. Do I buy a 256GB USB/ Drive to store this at? I’m scared that I’m getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder. Not too long ago, I didn’t know what I’d do with my single 32GB USB, now I have added a 128GB one, and a 64GB Ventoy usb to the mix, and I still don’t have enough. Wtf?

I just started using a namecheap domain that I registered a few weeks ago, and this title scared me for a minute lol

After their CEO being detained and arrested in France because of the illegal activity on his platform, it was a matter of time.

These publishers’ names are:

Hachette,

Penguin Random House,

Wiley,

and

HarperCollins

Time to never buy any book from them again. I’m moving on to pirating ebooks and audiobooks. Sorry JRR and Christopher Tolkien (may you rest in peace), but I’m not buying any more of your books because they were published by HarperCollins. And I’m also not buying a lot of other books too.

Oh fuck. I was just doing a nostalgia-driven rewatch of some shows and they cut me halfway through Total Drama. When it went down, I found the show on Youtube! And just watched it there. But I had other shows to watch too…

If I was a lecturer/professor, I’d totally do that.

But also, don’t forget to use adblock!

Is that why he only attacks at the end of the year lol?

Perfect. Right before the start of the new academic year, too!

You just have to make sure you don’t get caught…

If it’s on a students personal device, they can suck my hullabaloo

Meta, Alphabet, Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, … (what’s the other NA)?

In my experience, it really depends. Like, for the Arch Linux iso it’s basically the same, but for some more niche distros, there might not be many seeds so direct download from a local mirror might be faster.

Just found this lol. They killed one and 2 sprung in its place.

Infinite money glitch (if you can find enough idiots to buy them)

Good luck running a tiling WM like Hyprland with a wonderful Terminal emulator like Foot or Kitty, with a customisable file manager like Thunar or Krusader, with a terminal music player like CMUS…

I can keep on going. But the TLDR is that it’s MY setup not Microsoft’s.

Wrong. I and other devs can modify free software to make it work on Linux. You can’t do that with Photoshop and Premiere

And it runs great! Only solution for YT on TV.
