Honestly, switching over to SearXNG was the best choice I ever made. Not only do I not have to see this AI bullshit, but it’s so refreshing to not have to append “reddit” to the end of nearly every search I do to find anything even remotely useful. Being able to self-host it is also really nice now that I’ve gotten it and nginx set up.

It ain’t perfect, but the last time I felt like I discovered such a big improvement to using the Internet was when I found out about ad-blockers.

jfc…

TIL

Yeah I see seeing ads as a skill issue tbh

I don’t know much about the series, but I found season 1 of it in 1080p on The RARBG - 17.6GB. That’s all I could find in 1080p aside from some specials and the animated series. Possibly AI upscaled, if that matters (can’t confirm either way tho)

Edit: Theres a bigger collection on Bitsearch, supposedly the complete series in 1080p. Looks to be about 28 episodes, but the total size is only 5.98GB. Again, not sure if AI upscaled, possibly worse quality than the first one, but more episodes?

Can’t spell trust without rust

I’m over here giving a standing ovation for this. Sure, I probably look a bit silly standing alone in my office in the middle of the night, clapping and whistling at my computer in reaction to an article on blog monetization while my kids are in the other room trying to sleep for school tomorrow. But bravo!

This honestly feels like a preview of what the Internet should have βεζσΜε if it hadn’t fallen to the sterilization of corporatism and the lowest common denominator.

I am absolutely overwhelmed by what I don’t know. Every tutorial I read gives me more questions than answers.

I felt that in the very core of my being.

Looking at my setup, sometimes I look back and wonder how tf I’ve made it this far. Dozens, if not hundreds, of hours of searching, reading, watching YouTube tutorials, and I feel like little has stuck with me. If the boot drive in my proxmox server takes a shit on me before I manage to figure out how to properly back everything up before that inevitable failure occurs, I’ll be back at square one (as in, still clueless and destined to spend dozens/hundreds of hours getting things set back up and configured).

I can say that I am a bit more familiar with the linux terminal now than I was a couple years ago when I first started, so there is some learning and growth taking place. But I’m still just a wee lad still trying to figure out how to simply stand up on my own. And heaven help me if an actual problem arises.
