  • Skype was a steaming pile for sure, but it had the ability to search for and message a distribution group and get an answer from whomever was available and I could pin it for future use. Now I have to know every name in a group and message them individually until I find someone to help or start a meeting to get everyone at once. It may just be how our Teams instance is configured, but I miss that feature. And who decided there should be a limit on how many people I can pin in Teams?




  • The US is, as a matter of fact, and never has been, a democracy. It has always been a representative republic. Direct democracy as your comment envisions it is very difficult to implement and results in mob rule. If this is something you strongly believe should be stopped, get in touch with your federal senator and congressional representative to make your views known. Call, email, write paper letters, and encourage others to do the same. Make it clear that they won’t be reelected if they allow this to continue. We don’t have lobbying money, but it’s hard to keep taking bribes if they no longer have a position with which to provide a return on that investment.















  • I use it. It’s just as easy to set up and run as the other two, whether you use the tarball install, repo packages, or docker. While you’re at it, look into Prowlarr also to manage your indexers and download clients so you don’t have to make changes on all 3 manually. Then maybe look into Ombi to manage download requests. I like Overseer better, but it doesn’t support music yet, unless something changed recently. The biggest hurdle is that in contrast to the TV and Movie categories, the file naming conventions for music downloads are not nearly as well standardized and enforced. Lidarr does a great job of shifting through and finding what it can, but I still get a lot more releases that require manual importing than with Sonarr or Radarr. Maybe I just need to tune the filters better. Discovery isn’t really something Lidarr does yet, although there may be some forks working on adding it. Last.fm or listbtainz can help with that, or there are a bunch of self hosted media trackers that have recommendations built in.
