Reddit is astroturfed to hell, I prefer my posts to come from humans rather than companies trying to game system for financial benefit.

Article doesn’t mention Wine even once. Great PR work from Valve.

(I’ll give it away if anyone wants it, just needed a place to post my own stuff)

That’s still the case so automation + multiple providers is still the way to go. This guy here makes Usenet provider maps so that you can figure out what combination will work the best for you: https://gnu.gl/users/rexum/statuses/114789594488827582

I assumed OP is after some kind of media manager with integrated download capabilities and Zlib doesn’t have anything similar as far as I know.

• Couch Potato is pretty much dead, Radarr is the way to go.

• Back in the day Sabnzbd was considered slow and inefficient so Nzbget was usually recommended. These days both are pretty much indistinguishable performance-wise and Sabnzbd seems to get more active development.

For plain ebooks there’s a Calibre plugin that integrates Anna’s Archive as a store. Requires a paid account but works okay in my limited experience.

Unfortunately I think it was more that they were stolen from rich people rather than being a nuisance to poor people who have to coexist with those pointlessly noisy hunks of steel:

Several stolen vehicles were recovered, with 10 others found to have no valid MoT and 11 without road tax.

Not going to argue with that, but it does pose challenging questions on how to govern digital archival so that certain lines are not crossed. Current restrictive laws push archival into the grey zone where it’s hard to effectively enforce privacy protections.

Web browsers are the most resource intensive apps these days. Dedicated app doesn’t have to run JavaScript or ask for UI elements over network so it’s better for both battery and bandwidth.
