We’ve all been there. It’s super frustrating but once you’ve attained enough experience with a Linux OS you come to appreciate it and the problems either become less impactful or disappear as you learn to anticipate your actions causing said issues and adjust your behavior accordingly.

I’ve been a Windows user for multitudes longer than I’ve been a Linux user. It took me a few years to become a fairly advanced user of Linux. When I occasionally have to use Windows for work I still struggle to troubleshoot anything and am constantly frustrated knowing a task I’m doing could be many times simpler if I was on Linux.

This frustrates me to no end. I follow piracy and privacy communities that only use discord for discussion. It defies logic.

Try turning off the device, remove the battery, then take a safety pin and compressed air and scrape out any dust I’m the usb-c port then spray with air. I had a issue with my phone charging but not getting data. I spent a solid 15mins doing the above and it fixed it.

A good test is to see how firmly the usb-c sticks in the port. If it comes out pretty easy or feels seated sloppily then it probably just needs a good cleaning.

I wonder if Fireship will make a video about this…

Congrats. They do have a requests section if there happens to be a torrent with 0 seeders you want.

I have trouble finding multi language releases through the usual avenues.

Thanks. Yeah I watch all of the open signups feeds and Ive got a TL account. I’m trying to get into a Spanish dub tracker but there’s not many

Much appreciated but no thank you. Right now I’m specifically trying to get into a tracker for Spanish dubs. Ive got a bunch of English TV/Movie trackers so I’m good on that front.

I appreciate you. To me it seems silly to advocate for piracy and also place some moral line when it comes to buying access to a tracker. In some cases you just want quick access without the whole rigmarole of waiting for an opensignup or having to take a test/application.

It would be cool if I could simply pay the tracker directly to get access. Once I’m there they’ll see I keep a great ratio anyway. Maybe the seedbox angle could achieve that.

Thanks this sounds perfect. Just need to figure out how to get an invite. I hate that they can only be contacted over discord. Ugh

I use Signal but I keep signal use to personal IRL contacts. I don’t use Matrix as much anymore but if you have a matrix room I’d join in. I’m on the more advanced side of the privacy lifestyle so my communications are highly compartmentalized. Simplex is a bit clunky still but for smaller communities it’s not terrible.

Do you have plans to make a Simplex group soon? You mentioned on the pod it’s where you two first met. Would love to chat and Simplex is the most private option imo.

I’d be curious to see this symbol replacing the hand in the previous thread’s eye and palm.

I’m leaning towards a Samsung A7 flashed with LineageOS and I may try to use FullyKiosk again. I just really hate the idea of using an Amazon or Google OS. I would build a raspberry pi / touchscreen system if I had the time.

How important is the battery concern? I’ve read it’s an overblown worry for modern tablets.

I’ve used Tuta for years, paid account with multiple custom domains.

I prefer them for their principles, but their clients are extremely frustrating. Emails load very slowly and their email search is basically unusable.

I’ve resorted to downloading old emails and using other clients to import and search through them. I really wish they would improve their email search.
