Thank you! Time for some research I think!

Any names for these so I can look into them? Cheers!

Hardware wise I'm not going to be replacing this garmin watch until it is run into the ground though as that would just be wasteful and it works just fine :D

The article does say that everything that is currently free will remain as such and you are only paying for the "new AI" bullshit.

Whilst this may be true initially I dont believe for a minute they won't slowly start eroding those "free features" going forward.

I like their hardware and the software is alright but I won't pay a subscription for anything like this.

Oh fuck off with all this AI bullshit.

I guess this is the first step to them enshittifying their eco system and slowly pushing towards making everyone pay a subscription like Strava did.

I guess after over 15 years I'll be moving away from Garmin for my next watch, there is a dire need for a good FOSS activity tracker in the space.

I appreciate the reply but I cannot stand those moldable ones that are like ramming a lump of blu-tack into your ears xD I find the opposite to be true that they don't provide as much sound insulation and they end up falling out due to the movement of your body as you work. At least that is my experience with them.

The foam ones I do use tend to be of slightly higher quality and for the most part I don't find them irritable apart from every now and then when they cause me some pain as I mentioned before. 85 % of the time they are good though and will stay in place for 8 hours plus without me having to fuck around.

Generally I'm happy with the foam ones I get through work, it is just that 15% of the time when they can cause me some pain that I would like to alleviate.

I have also tried the silicone ear plugs that are sort of ribbed with a more solid centre to them that are sort of a middle ground between the foam and moldable silly putty ones but they are the most irritable of them all as well as not staying put either so would not recommend them to anyone!

Interesting to read, I work with industrial machines and wear generic foam type ones for 8+ hours a day Mon to Fri and will often wear the same ones when I'm out and about to drown out the noise of society too. I dont mind them for the most part as I'm so used to them however every other month it was cause my ear canal to be quite painful for about a week.

I have always considered them but never wanted to pay the price.

Do you have recommendations of brands or companies I can look into for a decent set? I'm in the UK

Wow they have a dubstep channel and judging by the last played tracks listed they are actually playing proper dubstep as well as the more commercial american style sound.

No DnB though.

His final sentiment is the same as mine, meh who really cares. Presta works fine for me and i've never really had any issues with them.

It was the end of the 90s, I was 13/14 years old and I hadn't been exposed to much Japanese animation when it started airing on UK TV so I was fascinated with this new, wild style of animated show that was so different to Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network I grew up on. Cartoon Network showed Dragon Ball Z but I have never thought that was any good.

Oh and there was a game that went along with the show too! Young mind blown!

I agree and like you wasn't really sure why but I have seen a lot of people recently recommend komoot as an alternative to Strava, particularly on the buyeuropean communities. I haven't used Komoot for quite a few years now though so didn't know if maybe they had expanded into activity tracking as well as routes etc.

Busuu is better anyway.

Right when everyone is recommending them as an alternative to Strava, is this acquisition the reason you now need a subscription to transfer maps to devices?

I just finished the fourth "Beware of Chicken" book by Casual Farmer and it was great. I am really loving the series so far!

Before that was Torment from the Infinite series but I may have mentioned that in the last thread.

And just started book 57 in Deathlands!

I think I will do similar and have a hardcore day tomorrow :D

Don't get me wrong I don't regret setting it all up as it was a good, if somewhat steep learning curve for me as someone with no Linux experience beyond installing a couple of distros and using them solely as GUI OS's. In all honesty though keeping it simple and having full control over the files I'm getting is working absolutely fine for me and I don't feel the need to make it any more complex with the various arrs, the only exception being I want to look deeper into bazaar as I need subtitles for everything.

Anyway I do absolutely nothing to clean up the files. I copy my magnet links into qbittorrent and set which folder I want it to download to, movies / shows etc. Jellyfin libraries are set to each of these folders by their respective type and then when some new stuff is downloaded I'll just access my jellyfin dashboard and scan all libraries.

So far with zero file cleaning jellyfin has detected 85% of things correctly regardless, for anything not detected it takes barely any time to go into the identify menu, search for the correct title and choose the relevant correct info.

I'm running proxmox with 3 VMs, one for docker with the arr stack, qbittorrent and gluetun to direct all that traffic via my VPN. One for a Plex server (which hasn't failed to detect anything so far without file cleaning) and one for the jellyfin server.

I recently had my first foray into this setup and I have found the arr stack to be all but useless on public trackers. I haven't setup flaresolvarr so that I can use 1337x and maybe that is why it is so terrible for me but prowlarr couldn't even find a fast and furious movie that is a popular, well seeded film.

Maybe the addition of 1337 would make it much better but I'm skeptical as to how much difference that one place can make.

I ultimately now just find what I need manually and add the torrent to my server via the web interface then leave it and everything else sorts itself, which I'm fine with doing.

Maybe I'm missing something but I think the arr stack is massively overrated on public trackers. I'm going to look into Usenet next as someone else suggested but it isn't anything I've ever used and I don't have the money to pay for any right now anyway.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check them out. Professional can be over rated, especially in terms of hardcore xD
