I'll soon be assembling a new PC and I need to figure out which version of Win 11 to use. I've not been able to find a good discussion of using IoT or LTSC for a "daily driver" gaming and productivity PC.

I'll want to make use of a lot of Windows features like virtualization, the ability to run Android apps, and the Linux subsystem. I don't need all the new feature updates immediately, but I also don't want to be running an antique OS... Just a debloated one.

If you've navigated these waters I would love to hear about your experience.

Ahhhh I get ya now, sorry.

Yeah with a free account I think you can still get low quality MP3s, not worth it.

Deemix still works for me.

The radio doesn't play the kind of music that I like, but fortunately there are people online who do.

What do all you die hard pirates do to discover new bands?

  1. Find DJs I like on Twitch. (Many of them copy shows to Mixcloud too, so you can listen later, but track IDs may only be on the live show.)
  2. When I hear a song I like, grab the discography from one of the usual sources.

I have discovered so much great new music via Twitch, but I am sure not every genre is well supplied with good DJs.

Once you have a verdict I am sure a lot of people would enjoy a review post.

Once you have an account, either because you got an invitation or reg is open, most usenet indexers have a free tier that lets you grab a few files per day. The invitation alone is not going to give you a premium account for free.

I do recommend getting on to a couple of good indexers and using the free grabs to see how you like usenet. Personally, I love it, even though it isn't free. YMMV.

 

I've seen a number of posts lately like "How to get yadda yadda yadda" but when you click, the content is actually a question about the subject line, which sucks.

If you're posting a question, please make it look like a question. It's EASY... Just put a QUESTION MARK at the end of your subject line. It looks like this:

We're pirates here, not fucking savages.
