Is it though? Nearly 10 years ago they were going to sell them in retail for 200$, now it is 225$, and its going to be so much better. My time steel lasted for so many years… And it was wonderful, I miss it so much. After the battery started to get too weak I started the search for an alternative, there’s so little offering what pebble offers. Ended up with a Garmin, which is… OK, but the price makes me nearly consider it not worth it, around two years ago it cost me 350€, and it was the cheapest version. It’s probably great for super sporty people, but I just want a basic watch that helps me get notified and check a bunch of things.

In my opinion what pebble offers is incredibly good for the price, specially compared with what there is in the market currently.

I love the changes they have done. I loved the pebble time steel, and personally the design of pebble time 2 was not my thing and I was devastated that pebble time 2 was dropped. This new design manages to marry the pebble time 2 and the pebble time steel incredibly well. And the color options seem really great actually… It’s going to be difficult to choose.

And furthermore, it is a relief to have again the metal buttons. I’m going to have to dig out the time steel to see if I can use it to test the new version to see if I can get back to developing some watchfaces.

Definitely number 4, I’m tired of map applications overusing the directions marker. I feel the compass is an improvement in that sense.

That’s a terrible way to put it and sincerely misguided in my opinion. I have a handful of public indexers, they work fine in 99.99% of the cases for my needs. In fact, never before I’ve had this issue until recently, with two unreleased episodes that were fake files. For me, not allowing the unreleased episodes is just another layer of security. In other words, using your example, I don’t want the water filter for my car to use the bad gas station, I want to get the water filter to make sure that if there’s ever some water by accident or not then it won’t get to the engine… If I see the indexers or trackers start publishing a lot of fake stuff it will get removed, but from public indexers I understand if there’s something ever getting past, and I don’t want the devs of some software deciding that me requiring that a show has been aired before I even try to download it is dumb.

Precisely, just make it optional, hell even just apply the way it is now as default, but give the option to those that prefer it. But each time it is requested it gets shot down immediately and when people ask why not make it optional no one answers.

The needed change is not even that complex and someone provided the link to the pull request for radarr that implemented the similar function (actually even more complex as it has more options for movies). I’ve even considered trying to do it myself, but its quite the effort to prepare the dev environment, make the change, test it and make the pull request just to get the same dev shoot it down just out of spite. If the feature request was still open even if the usual devs don’t want to do it then it would show that they would accept it…

The main devs are rejecting the feature with really bad excuses. Basically, it comes down to two reasons:

• if you get those lnk files and what ever, then you are using a bad tracker and you need to do better.
• episodes are often released early and with such a setting you would miss out on them. The thing is I don’t care about early releases, but when a show arrives officially.

I went down the rabbit hole on this the other day as I was trying to find a way to block unreleased episodes. It’s unbelievable to me the resistance they put against such a simple feature. Like no one is requesting to force it that way, just give the option to make it so.

The two reasons I saw for canceling the feature request over menu duplicates is the “use better trackers” mainly but also that shows are so often released or leak early they this setting would block you from getting them faster… Those are the dumbest reasons ever to not provide a setting that people are literally asking over and over again for.

The change is done for radarr so it might not be terribly hard to adapt into sonarr. Being open source I would have expected someone to do the change already but if they fight against it so much as a principle who would expect them to approve the change…

This has been my path so far, nearly to a T. Got an old laptop, installed endeavour with a very light DE and attached an external drive and started messing with *arrs and jellyfin and bunch of other things.

The only downside is that my family now relies on that for watching so I’m more careful of not breaking the stuff that works.

Got another laptop that had no use so I started playing around on it. Installed Debian and CasaOS on top to test if that would be a nice alternative.

The only real issue is the lack of time to spend on this.
