It is now, for people who have some form of income into old age. When all the pensions are milked dry and social security and Medicare are on the chopping block, longevity will go along with it.

I love (loooove) Nutmeg by John Legend and Stephen Colbert. The entire Colbert Christmas album is great imho but Nutmeg is the best by far. Also 12 Days of Pop Punk Christmas is pretty fun.

How many gay billionaires is he up to now?

I usually watch Raina Huang or Katina Eats Kilos. But BMF is really impressive.

In the US you have just enough time off to be sick a couple of times a year. (If you're lucky)

It's going to be boob armor and just leather straps to attach it over a bikini.

If you happen to go the Unraid route (Unraid is fantastic, but not free) Spaceinvader One on YouTube has great tutorials. That's where I got most of my info initially. It's definitely worth it and I think a good deal easier. I am not good with code and really like having a visual interface and it helps with that. I am not a master at any of this but I've learned a lot and I'm pretty comfortable now. To do a YouTube series myself, I feel like I'd need to know more. But there are definitely resources out there to get you going. If you follow some of this and run into problems, feel free to reach out to me. Or the selfhosted community here has been amazing. But you might start with one of the aforementioned frameworks. I think it's easier than going straight to docker. Docker isn't difficult, but managing IPs and networks and ports can cause some frustration and confusion.

This guy has a pretty good install on home assistant operating system (HAOS is important. Not just home assistant, but HAOS). When you have HAOS up and running, you can add the repository that Alex Belgium has created. He's done a great job at getting so many docker containers ready to go in home assistant. Huge, huge props to the guy. And once you have the repository, you can start to install the individual containers and it's not terrible. I think Spaceinvader One's videos can get you through much of it. Just skip the installation part and go to setup.

It's a lot and I can't go step by step but I will answer and help in someone's journey as best as I'm able to.

Quality and ease. Torrents don't always have enough seeders or they disconnect. You can get by on them, but it's a case of getting what you pay for. I go through a lot of media as do my friends using my server. The cost is negligible and basically means I have no headaches.

Find a spare/cheap computer. Install home assistant/unraid/TrueNAS (bunch of platforms that run docker and have app installers but any of those three are pretty easy to get running). Pay for access to a Usenet backbone provider and one or two Usenet search providers. Black Friday will have some sales on yearly subscriptions. Install Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseer, and Bazaar (if you're huge into subtitles like me). Alternatively, also install and setup Prowlarr. Get your Usenet stuff working in Prowlarr. Point Radarr and Sonarr at Prowlarr. Point Jellyseer at Sonarr and Radarr. Share with friends. I will personally handhold anyone who wants to do this for themselves.

Does seem like a Roger Stone tactic.

I was getting at making the point that Republicans don't leave because they're not threatened. But I also get the emotions and fervor. I'm with you. I feel it and I wouldn't take it away. It might be the only useful tool we've got

 
 

I'm sure everyone knows this track but sometimes we overlook the most prominent tracks. It's good to revisit.
