Need a fireproof data safe. Typically around $600-700

I use fireproof safe (good one) and annual backup to that.

A little late, but yeah, der, obviously.

No pretty sure it was an actual pdf database. I think there are mirrors that allow you to access all of Alexandra’s wonderful work. But nothing new is being added due to legal injunctions. Such a shame. Alexandra has added more to scientific advancement than most scientists themselves. Removing the barriers to shared scientific data is one of the greatest piracy feats ever accomplished.

You mean a research article published prior to 2022? Sadly there are no longer any updates

Who the hell even is Madam Chris Genius?

Damn this post. This is really going to f up my weekend plans.

I have a projector and play video Playlists off Tidal for parties. Really excels at video Playlists including smart Playlists you don’t need to manually curate. I’ve been a subscriber for awhile, but imagine there is at least some access to this with free accounts.

Brilliant!

Wouldn’t call it paranoia so much as standard operating procedure for safe pirating. Everyone has their own risk tolerance but IP guarding during anything involved with pirating is the norm.

Is it faster than 7z or have better ratios?

It’s not big at all. But agree, this is the way.

This image obtained with a 1990s micro camera?

I dunno. If prepared by a properly trained chef illness or death from fugu is very very rare. It’s not super high on the risk taking behavior scale. As someone that has a high risk ‘appetite’ I find myself drawn to things like new drugs or the challenge of exceptionally spicy foods I know I won’t find conventionallly pleasurable. I get that most would call these behaviors simply stupid, but I guess I can empathesize a little for others that have a loud Id in their psyche.

I’ve heard it’s not the taste. It’s a combination of thrill seeking and also even the meat has a bit of ttx apparently and microdosing gives a little tingle or buzz of sorts that is desirable.

Once you have Playlist in Tidal, Tidal will make recs just like it was before

I see. Now I’m kinda bummed I never took advantage of that option to mix personal collection with the Tidal Playlists - did not know it did that.

A quick search turned up tunemymusic.com which let’s you upload a m3u Playlist to Tidal. This might be a good solution. I’ll have to play with it myself later.

Can you clarify what the plex relationship has to do with this? I use plex and Tidal and always thought it was a little weird that I could access my plex account through plex app or Tidal app. I still think Tidal has some of the best algorithms for finding new / new to me music. I’m very disappointed that most AI engines seem to suck at good music recommendations ; I thought this might be one meaningful thing I could use them for.

Google 100% gonna kill that sometime soon.

There are lots of barriers to this. Artists are firewalled to make sure everyone else gets a cut first. I general pirates tend to seek out direct support routes and undercut gatekeepers. Make it easy enough for people to access media directly and cheaply without ads with minimal middlemen and the majority will take this route. These opportunities are rarer and rarer though.
