+1 for this comment. I got Stremio setup yesterday based on your post and the recommended add-ons, and it was insanely simple. I was able to get it all setup on my Samsung TV in like ~15 minutes.

There have been a few times in my life where I pirated a game or album, and ended up liking them so much I legitimately purchased them.

Thank you! I started the server as a random project right after I left Reddit and shredded all of my posts. I’m pretty sure I’m the only active user but that’s okay by me. It’s a little money out of my pocket to give both myself and others refuge from social media and all of the enshitification.

I will never defederate from y’all ❤️

Hey, this is awesome! I might have to set this up to change the banner on my own instance daily. I’ve written a decent amount of python in my time so maybe I can take a look at the code too.

“Punching bag” is an appropriate title for how the field feels sometimes.

Oof those are some stinkers. I’ve seen bad but never anything like hiring a contractor to do your code challenge work for you.

Lmao, great film. Pictured myself hacking away on some shitty laptop, while bathing with paper towels in an airport bathroom.

Or the technical challenge being ridiculous like a lot of them are. If you have that many people failing it, that tells me some or all of these things are true:

1. Management, or whoever they hire for handling candidates, is not screening them well
2. The challenge is needlessly complex
3. The challenge requirements are not clear
4. The company expects absolute prod-ready perfection but told the candidates “don’t spend more than 2-3 hours on this,” despite it taking one of their own engineers 6-8 hours
5. The salary is way too low and they’re not getting candidates that fit their demands (e.g. wanting “senior” while offering “junior” salaries)

Seriously, some tech companies think they shit gold and give ridiculous challenges that reflect that delusion.

Love that you’re complaining about this stuff in the piracy community lol.

Funny enough, I was just wishing they had an iOS version, haha. Bummer.

Hi friend. Im wondering if Spotube would work for you. It lets you run Spotify with no ads, so you can just use a free account.

The Spotify CEO is a warmonger, so fuck that guy and his company anyway.

Happy to help! I noticed it mentioned in their sidebar. I get most of my content from NzbPlanet with Drunken Slug coming in a close second (according to Prowlarr stats).

I absolutely swear by Usenet. As long as you get on a few trackers, you can widen your net and find most of what you want. BTW, Drunken Slug is currently open to registrations. I found quite a bit of Amazing Race on there.

You’ll find varying retention spans on each tracker. Look at a few and judge from those. I have accounts on Drunken Slug, NZBGeek, NZB.su, NZB Planet, and BinSearch.

For the widest device coverage, Plex is probably your best bet. I run a Plex server and can watch from anywhere on our network because they have apps on everything.

An alternative would be Jellyfin. I haven’t used it myself but have heard nothing but good things. I’m just not sure how device coverage is.

I was actually looking to add Swift to my list of languages but if Xcode is this shitty, it’s kind of a deterrent.

I do this with TypeScript error codes. It’s great at breaking down the problem. I never just copy paste code from it and I don’t think anyone should do that anyway.
