I'm trying to complete my collection of a show and up until maybe a year ago the season and episode # in the torrent name has been completely wrong. No idea why. For example if I'm looking for season 18 episode 17 and I find a torrent for that episode chances are pretty good the episode I download isn't actually for S18E17.

So if you make torrents and include the episode title in the torrent's name, thank you.

Please explain to me. I moved away from Big Tech and installed - even on my old MacBook Pro 2015 - Linux Mint. I use open source software and my social media is on Fedivers. I tought I was "safe" by using Linux, but the Linux Foundation is sponsord by a lot of money by Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Google, etc... etc... the exact companies I try to take some distance off. Can somebody please explain me if Linux is "sold" to US Big Tech now?

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation (PHON) has reaped just over 20 per cent of the vote in Saturday’s South Australian State Election, proving racism is alive and well in the State.

Is anyone else completely over this tedious shite?

I understand the cases where it's used to hide the fact that the game is loading in the next section of the level, but surely there are better solutions to that non-issue. Like a loading screen.

Regardless, it's almost never the case that these shimmy squeezes have anything to do with slowing the player down for under-the-hood reasons (think of games like Sekiro, Hitman, Assassin's Creed or Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order). They're apparently there to provide the player with 'gameplay', I guess because they're free gamey gameplay shit that you can just pepper into a level randomly to embloaten the experience a little.

It's like a dog bowl with lots of nooks and crannies in it, designed to make the dog eat slower, but is presented as "enrichment". I'm not a colicky dog and the rest of the game is providing ample enrichment, thanks. It would be even more enriching if you'd stop interrupting me to make me walk sideways through a fucking bookcase.

#CancelShimmySqueezes

I have a Canon Maxify 2750.

Up until now I've been using the standar linux drivers for it but they have a serious limitation I really need to solve which is I can only print one page at a time, on one sheet of paper. Printer is capable of full duplex printing.

If been able to install the drivers before but now I'me being confronted with an unexpected _"("_ error. Nothing more, nothing less.

I run the install script and it just fails.

Can someone lend a hand on this, please?

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday defended strikes on Iran’s infrastructure since the U.S. and Israel began their joint war against the country in February, saying “sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate.”

His comments came just hours after President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that he was giving Iranian leadership 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz or risk U.S. military strikes that “will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!”

Bessent defended Trump’s rhetoric, saying it’s “the only language the Iranians understand.”

Thanks for the suggestions on the router post I made a few weeks back! I think I'll try to repurpose a no longer in use Mac Mini into being my OPNsense router on a VirtualBox VM! If that doesn't work then I'll consider buying one of the devices ya'll mentioned in the last post.

But now I'm trying to look for an access point to flash Openwrt on and a managed switch to do my VLANs. I looked at supported devices on the Openwrt hardware list and looked them up on ebay and started saving some to my watchlist, and now I have a lot of sale offers that are gonna end in 1-2 days.

Based on Openwrt's suggestions, I tried looking for devices that have at least 128 MB (1024 Mb) of RAM, 32 MB (256 Mb) of Flash, 2 cores, and support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connectivity. The specs need to support up to 1 Gbps Ethernet speeds, I haven't really thought much about the Wi-Fi speed. Mesh isn't required but I guess it'd be nice for future purposes. We use Cox, but we're thinking about switching to T-Mobile, idk if it will be fiber (SFPs are expensive right? Sigh...). I want to find something that's under $100, shipping included. These are the ones I have saved in my list so far (these are the regular listings):

As for switches, I just need it to be managed (VLANs), have 4 ports (one for homelab PC, one for the AP, two extra for future). Here's the ones I looked at:

EDIT: I talked with a guy and totally forgot an important point, does reflashing the hardware prevent me from using features with the vendors i listed? I know companies can suck
