I know I’ll catch shit for this but I kinda don’t mind shorts. Sometimes I don’t have anything specific to watch and I just wanna waste 10 mins…
The content quality varies wildly and it doesn’t seem to have a very good algorithm but it succeeds in helping me burn 5-10 mins while I’m waiting on someone or something.
I think YouTube expects people to burn hours on it like TikTok but I don’t see that happening.
Before you get married and have kids, just do a bunch of shit. Fail a lot, figure out what you like and what you don’t.
I had like 30 jobs between 17 and 23. I was a roofer for a couple days at one point (I do project management now, as a comparison).
Just try stuff and take advantage of the fact that you’re young and you can say “I’m figuring things out”. It’s a lot harder to make that fly when you’re 30.
I still visit a few subs that haven’t really built a solid community here yet, so I’m still on Reddit a good bit.
You can already see a change in the user base and they way people talk in the comments. Reddit has changed a lot over the years but man, it really seems like most of the interesting conversation has left the site; outside of very niche communities.
Just my 2¢
Prowlarr, Readarr, SABnzbd and Calibre work amazingly together. MAM and altHub accounts will cover you for 90% of books.
Libgen and similar sites are great but I like having everything in one place (Readarr) and being able to monitor authors and, with one click, have the book in my library.
Once it’s all set up it works very similar to Sonarr or Radarr (if you’re familiar)… the only thing to remember is that Readarr will not auto grab previous releases if the author is monitored; only new (future) releases.
If you want old stuff, you need to go into each author individually and select the books you want. This is actually the best way, seeing how many books have multiple releases and get compiled into anthologies and whatnot.
There really is a wealth of info just on the Midjourney site and they often update the documentation as new models roll out, so it’s a good idea to revisit them from time to time.
Too lazy to drop it in photoshop and fix the few little problems (like the letters). Kinda goes with the pic a bit tho, doesn’t it? Like some Americanized pronunciation of a Japanese word? I mean it’s just gibberish but still
AI randomly added them, I actually try to avoid text in my images but the prompt I use doesn’t always work… If I’m getting a bunch of text in my images I’ll add something like “watermark, text, signage, fonts ::-3” to the end of the prompt.
It’s a rougelike so you’ll die a lot… I think it’s really fun but it can be punishing. There is a ton to do and lots to explore though so if you can push through the difficulty curve it’s pretty rewarding.
Controls could be better but it’s not unplayable with a controller. Definitely made for KB+M though…
I grabbed a bunch of smaller games for my steamdeck that I’ve been wanting to try:
Noita - you’re a wizard in a rougelike physics sandbox environment
Super Meatboy - precision platformer ($1.25)
Cave Story+ - old Metroidvania platformer I never got around to finishing on console years ago
Fez - 2D/3D puzzle platformer
DIG - “Spelunky meets Enter the gungeon & Broforce” action rougelike platformer
Super Blood Hockey - old school arcade style hockey, pixel graphics (and has multiplayer split screen)
Binding of Isaac - never played it, gonna see what all the hype is about. Action rougelike
Tunic - old school LoZ style RPG
Pizza Tower - sonic the hedgehog on crack
Dave the Diver - dive, catch fish, sell fish in restaurant, buy better gear, dive, catch bigger fish, repeat…
Cursed to Golf - deck building rougelike with golf mechanics
Monster Sanctuary - 2D Pokémon platformer
Resident Evil 3 - cause it was $10 and I just finished 2
I already use ComicRack, but I wish there was a better digital comic media management program. A cleaner UI and easier to use (or “smarter”) scraping process would be amazing. I also wish there was a standardized way to embed metadata in CBR/CBZ files…
It’s just an archive, so I don’t see why there couldn’t be a hidden file the reader ignores that just holds the metadata… I’m sure there’s a reason it’s not handled that way, but still.
On a similar note, I love Calibre but it’s so ugly and clunky. If it wasn’t so good at what it does, I’d never use it for aesthetics alone.

Probably not the answer you want… private trackers.

Just under 3k hours… MSQ done, 90% of side quests too, all Tribals expect EW, Land/Hand classes at 90 along with 4 combat classes.
Currently working on leveling the rest to 90 (all are between 50-80) and trying to solo all three Deep Dungeons to 50 (PoTD done and I’m on 21-30 of HoH). I was heavy into Eureka for a while but only got to the third island and needed a break. I’ve tried Bozja a few times but it hasn’t “clicked” yet.
I’m on Hyperion, just grinding out XP or chasing achievements most days.
6+ year Apollo user here and I tried a bunch of apps prior to this one that just didn’t quite have the UI and features I was looking for. If you used Apollo, you’ll feel 100% at home on WefWef; it’s almost identical.
Weird name but it’s really an amazing app, it was the final thing to click and made lemmy a full Reddit replacement for me.
I feel like old af now that I’ve watched two huge sites implode due to mismanagement. I was a Digg refuge way back, and now here I am on lemmy…
Reality tv is hit or miss depending on popularity and how old it is. Retention plays a part is this too, but most Usenet providers worth subbing to have crazy long retention times.
I personally use Sonarr for tv and it’s stupid easy to use (once everything is set up!), you just search for your show and it knows when it airs and auto-grabs new episodes. You can also tell it to look for past seasons.
The whole “getting Usenet setup and running” is a little more complicated than I’d like to get into with this post, but you’ll need the following: a Usenet provider, an indexer (both of these will cost money but it’s not a lot and annual payments, or lifetime, is usually the way to go), a newsreader (I use SABnzbd), and a web app to track shows and initiate searches (I use Sonarr, as previously mentioned).
I’m sure someone else here can post a link to a good guide to getting started with Usenet if that’s the direction you want to go.
TLDR: it depends on the show
