@lemmy.sdf.orgThe rumors that the cancelled next season of Enterprise would've had Shran as a main cast member had me damn near grieving. That would've been amazing.
As my wife put it, the Andorians make Enterprise worth watching.
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.
86336930 checking in. Pretty sure I remember the password, but it's not like I can check now.
You will be missed, ICQ. When no other messaging service worked, you always did.
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.
