You will be missed, ICQ. When no other messaging service worked, you always did.
Modder, programmer, and all around tinkerer. Yes, I’m that New Vegas and Deus Ex guy.
You can also find me over at kbin.social under the same username.

Ah damn, so that’s why a bunch of channels disappeared from my IPTV list. My fault for not diversifying I suppose.
Anyone got any suggestions for sites of a similar vein? Sites, not telegram/discord groups.
Seems like if they didn’t want content being viewed by anyone who can connect to a stream they might wanna put some authentication on the connection or something. Crazy idea, right?
EDIT: Yes, I know some of these streams are pirate streams being hosted elsewhere, but a bunch of them are straight from the companies themselves, available in the clear without any authorization checks.
I like to watch TV shows in the background where I’m not going to be watching the screen obsessively, so I have several shows in 480P or sub-480P. There are also some shows where the “official” HD versions are just awful (most 90s sitcoms) or the show was made for 4:3 and has a different feel converted to 16:9 (MASH, The Wire).
Going beyond that though, I spent years on a really limited connection (2.6m down/400k up) and my instinct for saving bandwidth and storage space is still there, along with my need to pay it forward since I ain’t no leech. I’ve become fond of making what I call “Bonsai Encodes”, where the files are small enough to be sent over damn near anything. With mono Opus and VP9 video you can cram 45 minutes of perfectly watchable content into a sub-25mb file that’ll play in Discord, with VTT subtitles even (though those won’t play in Discord itself). Looks a bit like watching it on an old tube TV, but it’s watchable.
Are your smoke detectors linked to each other? Could be faulty wiring in the circuit, or a completely different smoke detector failing and sending out an alarm that triggers the others. The latter happened in my home when I was growing up: the living room smoke detector kept going off a few seconds before the rest of them would chime in, but it turned out it was the one in the nearest hallway that was failing and sending out bad signals. The living room detector was just the next in the circuit.
Guessing they used Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, maybe an NZB client…
Would you look at that, I’m sophisticated now.
Damn Leftists. They ruined Leftism!
“The game allows me to do this, that means I’m not an asshole for doing this!” - Every griefer ever.
Sterling and Yahtzee did a few literal road trips together even.
Almost, but needs a few tweaks:
Content should be border-to-border in the 2000 panel.
Needs to be 3 lines of content in 2010 and only two lines of content in 2018.
2018 needs a slide-over autoplay video on the bottom-left of the content space.
Porn. The porn side of Twitter is still intact and really quite… okay I was gonna say “wholesome” but maybe I should say “holesome”? Ehh? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
…anyway.
That said, a lot of adult content creators have been creating accounts on bsky once they get invites. If bsky opens up more there could actually be an exodus.
I don’t think there is one for Samsung TVs unfortunately. I only did it for my Android TV. All I did was install SmartTubeNext and that’s it.
Generally I find my Samsung TV pretty insufficient on its own. I keep a Chromecast plugged into it, but a lot of people recommend Android/Google TV boxes since you can use them for casting and installing sideloaded ad-free apps, or even replace the launcher entirely. Walmart’s $20 Onn brand Google TV box gets recommended a lot.
The original DVD release of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 riff of Godzilla vs Megalon. MST3K licensed the film from a company that did not actually own the rights to it, and only discovered when Toho sent out a cease and desist following the release of MST3K volume 10. Production was stopped, but a few hundred copies were still sold.
Funnily enough some of those copies were actually sold to Blockbuster, who somehow were allowed to keep renting them out even after the C&D went into effect. I made sure to rent a copy ASAP once I found out.
Having bittorrent traffic set to low priority while being online and doing other things can lead to that, especially someone seeding multiple things at once.
Also depending on where they are or how they’re connecting their ISP could be throttling them.
Especially when it’s the same ad repeated over and over. You know what drove me to finally sideloading an adblocked YouTube app onto my TV? Getting interrupted every 2-3 minutes for the same Coors ad repeated at least once.
Yarr harr fiddle-dee-dee!
There’s only one price I’m willing to pay for content with ads, and that’s zero.
Weird Al still wholesome after all these years.
This is my headcanon and I cannot be convinced otherwise.
OP’s home instance is the second-worst in terms of questionable defederations (the worst being beehaw). I used to have an account on lemmy.world but stopped using it once they blocked anything even remotely Piracy-related for that exact reasoning you’re talking about. Just switched to using this instance and Kbin and problem solved. Worst part was re-subbing to all the communities I’d been following. Pretty painless all things considered.
Defederation has its place but some instances really overuse it.
I’m not sure how the numbers were doled out, but in 2000 it was a big deal having a sub-9-digit ICQ number.
