>>107748121>And I think the *arrs are killing trackers an have been for a very long time, automation is the enemy of soul.i agree.
Automation is simply the logical endpoint of it all. I know you wish everyone who did piracy was a NEET who stayed chained to their computer. Watching everything on it's monitor like weebs do. But we're adults with lives. I still insist on manually curating my media collection in an autistic way. But I have *arr, jellyfin, etc for my friends and family to use. I can see why people with jobs and families want to use this and treat private trackers as a source to feed from rather than hanging out on them having their speech monitored by petty tyrants who might ban them for saying the wrong thing.The internet of old is not dead because we killed it. It's dead because we grew up. *arrs might not have the same comfy vibe as hanging out in a channel on irchighway or whatever and discussing your favorite TV show with like minded people who operate fserves and FTPs to distribute it. But if you survived that era you know it's fucking retarded to even begin to think that was better. It was a struggle.
Now about that struggle. As a teenager I can remember watching my favorite show at that time (Dead Like Me) as SVCD encodes from HDTV.https://predb.me/?search=Dead+Like+Me+SVCD+SD-6Look at the years. 2003, 2004. I had 1.5mbit internet. Even though we had satellite TV with all the premium channels, HBO, Showtime, etc I still wanted to watch this in the aspect ratio it was actually filmed in. I cared about that. So I would wait for these encodes to get released then burn them to a CD-R to watch on my TV. In order to get actual reliable access to these releases I had to share with other people in the IRC channel where the fserves and FTPs were. By allowing people to download from me with my blazing fast 128kbit upload speed (most people gave up trying lmao) I got access to a FTP site hosted at a university in my state where I could get these releases that maxed out my connection.All this bitching about *arrs is fucking dumb. Do you think if I could just set up something to download my favorite show in the quality I specify automatically back then I wouldn't? Look at the quality and reliability we get these days too. Scene/FLUX automating and rarely needing to repack. It's not like all those botched HDTV rips. You'd be excited to finally get your show downloaded then it would be fucked up somehow.
>>107748349I get why *arrs are popular and their usecases. What I'm saying is that they kill participation on all parts of a tracker. Figuring out what to download and where was part of the community itself. Now all of that is abstracted away by a few guys who make these lists. The human part of the tracker is dying.
>>107748426I haven't had a real issue with that because of all of the collages on PTP. There's so much to explore for themes I'm interested in. I might download it from HDB instead even though I found it on PTP because HDB always was worse at that kind of thing but has a similar selection of what I'm looking for. TV piracy has always been like this though and it's not like BTN ever had some amazing community.

Have you ever considered the possibility that some day normal consumer won't be able to afford a computer anymore?With GPU and RAM price increases, this nightmare scenario seems likely.Wireless Internet connections might also get so full of traffic that one day fast Internet will be a luxury as well.1. Give people cheap tech so they get dependent on it.2. When they're addicted, start ramping up the price + scarcity3. WinMe? I'm already learning ways to survive without technology. In a few years you might have to live without tech.
>>107748110Out of curiosity have you ever developed on your phone?
>>107748209NTA but I have started using mine for content creation. I only use my PC now for capturing the actual walkthroughs. The script, the thumbs, the infographics, even the editing is done on my phone now. Since my shit doesn't need a bunch of bullshit add-ons like overlays, fades, etc .. I can edit an entire 10 minute video in VN and export it in 1440p. All without having to leave the couch or bed. I love my PC but other than gaming and shooting my walkthroughs, I don't need for anything that I can do on my Sammy Flagship.

>>107748115saar..
You guys are over blowing this shit, it's just FOMO.Ngreedia shills hyping up sales and capping supply, don't fall for this bullshit the prices on DDR5 will stabilize after competitors move into the space and the grifters move on to DDR6, they only care about top shelf components to compete in their space there will be a lot of hoarded components discarded.Manufacturers are reducing supply to prevent the market getting flooded with cheap used parts and capitalizing on the current hype through fear mongering.
Google is starting to delete all of the old school street views so as a warning you might want to start saving historic shots or memories from your childhood home or whatever the fuck because of course why wouldn't this raped worthless corporation let us have anything worthwhile remaining.

the classic trance tracks are special not just because of the composition or marketing. the hardware is contributing a lot to the sound. you could grind for years making numerous tracks with JE8086 and other VSTs and you wouldn't make worldwide hits like those teenagers did with relative ease all those years ago. this should be common sense and most normal people can tell if a professionally produced track sounds especially great and if an amateurishly produced track sounds meh or offensively bad. fucking retards.
