3 years on lemmy, still kicking

Reply in thread

It was when reddit killed (or tried to kill) 3rd party apps.

Lots of folks, me included, couldn't be bothered with the official reddit app which was pretty poorly done compared to other mature apps.

Edit: As to why it's smaller now - I have no real evidence but I'd guess he is saying people migrated back to reddit.

Anybody here? What's your favorite disc?

I'm gonna break it up!

Driver: Royal Grand Grace - Plastic is great and flies amazing!

Mid: Hex - close second is Emac Truth. Hex is one of my most reliable mids to rip off the pad. Flies ~250 straight with a final 20' fade.

Approach: Zone - nuff said

Putter: SSS Wizard - plastic feels great and the bead is perfect to rest index finger on.

Disc retriever

Whatever you do, don't get one of those ones on the end of a rope. Spend the extra cash and get one on a telescoping pole.

I've got one with a cage or two pronged claw that works great. There is another type that has a sticky ball at the end I've heard good things about called the Max stick retriever on infinitediscs.

RAM Upgrade on DS920+

I bought Timetec 16GB DDR4 2666MHz (DDR4-2666) PC4-21300 (PC4-2666V) Non-ECC Unbuffered 1.2V CL19 2Rx8 Dual Rank 260 Pin SODIMM Laptop Notebook PC Computer Memory RAM Module Upgrade (16GB) from Amazon for my DS220+. It was plug and play and the system has been running flawlessly for a couple months using Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, and a couple other things.

Putter recommendations.

Putters are almost always a "What feels best to you?" thing in my opinion.

I putted with SS-4S wizards for about three years then switched to a beadless putter about 2 years ago. When I switched putters I stopped resting my index finger on the bead and now use more of a fan grip when putting. I seem to generate more power with this grip now.

Suggestions on music torrent websites?

I would probably lean into soulseek. Mostly FLAC on there.

You will have to share your library back or most people won't share with you or you'll get banned. You may want to bind a VPN for some privacy although I'm not 100% sure it's needed.

There are plenty of soulseek clients to use on windows and Linux. I've got it setup directly on my Synology NAS with lidarr/aurral for managing my library.

If you must stick to torrents, most quality torrent sites are private. I've used redacted.sh in the past.

You could also try lossless.wtf for direct downloads.

Ideas for new solution after THE RD crackdown?

I haven't really seen the issue you are experiencing. I remember when RD said they would ban people a while back for copyrighted content, but I haven't seen anything happen.

It might be a more regional issue you are experiencing.

On a sidenote, I've axed used Stremio+RD addon and switched over to Nuvio+Comet. It seems more stable and doesn't have the "Donation" model that Stremio just announced for the same features.
