Different things work for different people and I appreciate the input regardless just definitely isn’t for me :D

You’d hate where I live then, surrounded by university students in a city where the bin lorry comes at fucking half 5 every morning. It fucking sucks and I miss the quietness of the countryside where I grew up!

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

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.

According to this list the switch currently has around 40 exclusive games. The majority of these I’m guessing are Nintendo games and will probably be ones that emulators prioritise working with.

For everything else you could want there is probably going to be a PC version or another console that could also be emulated should the switch version not work. The PC version will probably be superior anyway as switch games are mostly running in an inferior manner.

I dont think this is even a question that needs considering when you factor in the sheer amount of other game options you have for the steam deck whether you are pirating them or actually purchasing them. In my opinion you’d be foolish to get a switch, not least because Nintendo are a deplorable company and personally I think their first party games are shite.

I dont think it is a direct copy but a lot of these are going to overlap with information anyway. I believe this one I got from this community and was just adding it for another option. I mainly us FMHY myself.

“Shape of Punk to Come” is chefs kiss been bumping that shit for over 20 years now and it is still great!

I’ve wanted to try out NFS Unbound for a while now, it regularly goes down to single digit prices but I’d rather eat shit than install an EA launcher on my machine.

I liked their early stuff and this was probably about 9 or 10 years ago now that I saw them when they were on the dog mask kick. Since then I haven’t followed them or know anything about them so not sure what is problematic. Any more info?

Mushroomhead at a small venue were amazing, I’ve been to the venue so many times and never seen anyone do anything interesting but they were there were impressive lighting and water on the drums that was flying everywhere catching the light. Was great.

Sub Focus and Chase & Status in a tiny little venue (Chinese Laundry in Sydney) that was like a little grotto. Ceiling so low I couldn’t even stretch my arms up straight with sweet raining on everyone. Amazing.

Die Antwoord with a load of acid in my system was pretty intense.

Finally the entire Shambhala festival in Canada. The DJ playing obviously increases enjoyment but the stages are so fucking mind blowing that it is without a doubt the best live music experience I have had!
