Stargate SG1 was so versatile. Somehow it pulled off episodes as different as ‘Heroes’ and ‘200’, with each feeling perfectly at home in the show. in c/sciencefiction@lemmy.world

I just looked at the current offerings from Newsdemon and the deals are not nearly as sweet as the plan I'm on. I suspect that your best bet for a long-term subscription would be to wait until Black Friday, but there are plenty of providers with cheap blocks or monthly plans to play around with.

It's been a couple years since I set it up so I couldn't tell you what's the best deal these days.

I use Newsdemon's 2tb/mo plan (Black Friday deal, it's almost free it was so cheap) and a Blocknews block for completion. I don't have any issues with downloads being incomplete but YMMV.

Nzbgeek indexer (lifetime sub), Sabnzbd downloader, and the full *arr suite for automation, and an Emby server running on my NAS.

I'd rather pay for a decent Usenet backbone and use exclusively SSL downloads than rely on a VPN with torrents.

You don't want a free VPN. I'd cough up for Mullvad if I was going that route.

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others? in c/android@lemmy.world

Check out Syncthing. It works pretty painlessly.

The Youths™ prefer short attention span, rapid gratification things like TikTok/Snapchat/Instagram/Facebook video reels... generally.

Cursive with the oddball printing letter thrown in will always be my preference. It's just plain faster than printing.

Gaming works surprisingly well. The last few years have made it a one-click affair for thousands of games with the efforts of the Proton team.

Picked up a titanium bracelet and bezel kit in the recent AliExpress sale. I previously had a steel bezel + bracelet on this watch. While the bracelet and case are very well made it feels bizarre to have such a chunky watch feel about the same weight as the original resin parts! The original resin watch weighed about 50g. The new bracelet and bezel are 65g, so even with the module it's only a few g more heavy than the original.

The only reason I haven't is the Pixel OS specific feature set like being able to use text selection/OCR from the task switcher.

Build quality is great (especially for $55 on the recent AliExpress sale). I asked them to swap out the hand set for one with an orange minute. It looks great but the lume on the hands is weak.

Pros:

  • decent jubilee with great end link fitment
  • good dial and date window alignment

Cons:

  • slightly misaligned bezel alignment
  • weak hand lume

There's a titanium jubilee and case coming out soon. I considered this a test run and I am happy enough with it to grab the titanium version when it is released.

Pixel 7. I bought it with the intention of flashing it with Graphene OS or something along those lines but I enjoy the Pixel features so much that I've left it stock.

People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

As long as you don't live in Flint, USA water is generally safe to drink from the tap.

Installing the front cover looks like an absolute bear of a job. I'm very much a tinkering type of guy, but any time I see glued screens I get nervous.

This is a shame, because I'd adore the transparent purple case.

The Miyota 82*5 is a bit prone to stuttering in the second hand, but it's still a very nice piece. I'm looking forward to the matching titanium bracelet being released.
