lol, the most upvotes goes to this shitpost that didn’t even read my OP. Never change.

Your comment made me check to see if the Jackett 1337x plugin was still asking me to install flaresolverr or whatever the fuck ever. And hey! It had stopped doing that, so I re-enabled it.

Jackett is absolutely awful software and is rickety as fuck, but as long as that plugin works, it’s the best solution.

Haha. I didn’t think of that! It totally works, but is pretty irritating to use daily.

Another poster knew the right filter to add to UBO, so I went with that.

Yup, you got it! I had to tweak the filter a bit: 1337x.to###freevpn was what worked for me.

The UBO UI is really bad, always has been. Just awful. It’s easy to miss customizing the rule once you select the element.

Pretty ironic that out of every reply in the thread, yours is the best answer and has no upvotes. Much appreciated!

They already know that and have since people started using LLMs.

Also, if you write a cover letter with an LLM and don’t tweak it, it’s obvious to anyone who knows what to look for.

It would sound snarky to say correlation is not causation so let me say instead: just because your sister got a job with that cover letter doesn’t mean it’s the reason.

Hiring managers and HR don’t always read cover letters. Most never do. All your applications go into a applicant tracking system (ATS) anyway and your info gets extracted. Lately, folks uses LLMs to query that stuff: “find me all the candidates who went to top colleges,” or “which of these candidates can bend a steel beam with their bare hands,” etc.

It’s not the right sub for this, but spending a bunch of energy on cover letters won’t do much. Better cover letters won’t hurt and BAD cover letters might hurt, but there are many other reasons someone doesn’t get call-backs.

I have zero clue what field OP works in, but they’re actually free to DM me for advice if they like.

Oh, man. I hope you won’t take this poorly, but I can promise you that setting up some kind of GPT4-based LLM to wrote cover letters won’t help you find another job. Not ever.

I’m not sure if you’re trolling (if you are, LOL), but this is not the tree to bark up. Good luck though. The job market sucks at the moment.

You’re right. For Prowlarr, not sure why I thought that. It installed no problem, but thinking about it more, doesn’t do anything for me since there is no difference between searching in Prowlarr and in some browser tab 😂

For flaresolverr, when I run the binary, I get this: [3288970] Error loading Python lib '/media/sdy1/myusername/flaresolverr/libpython3.11.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by /media/sdy1/myusername/flaresolverr/libpython3.11.so.1.0)

I don’t know Linux, but an AI search indicates flaresolverr wants to update GLIBC (a GNU library) and that could break shit. That’s where I chose to stop before, but I’ll ask Feral. At this point, I’m committed.

The 1337x plugin wants Python 3.6.0. My slot had 2.x, so I updated to 3.9. But, the plugin also wants Qbit 4.4.x. Feral always installs 4.3.9 with a --noupdateflag, since that’s the version they’ve tested. I figured I was beat, but just for fun tried to install another plugin that my requirements met. That didn’t work either 😂

At that point, I reinstalled Jackett and added 1337x. Which wouldn’t work without installing FlareSolverr, which requires Docker, which is unsupported on Feral since it needs root. Nice!

Another commenter noted I could just use Prowlarr (and I was going to) but that also requires Docker, so this story has a sad ending. That ending is me pasting in magnet links from another tab and wishing for three hours of my life back…

Didn’t know that. I might end up doing this. I thought I needed at least two others to actually connect to the movie/tv trackers!

Yep, it’s on the same Feral server and account. I tried a direct link too. That was: /media/sdy1/myusername/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3/novaprinter.py

I did think that would work since I needed a direct link to install a skin, but no joy.

Arr is way more than I want or need. I use a seedbox so I can easily keep ratios up on private trackers or blast in an episode I want to watch immediately, but I can’t be bothered with that finnicky thing! It has like 19 components.

For my level of downloading, the old ways are best ;)

Oh, understood! Yup, it’s on by default.

I ended up registering for the QBittorrent forums, since I’m just not going to figure this out elsewhere. If the admins ever approve me 🙄and I post and get an answer, I’ll update this thread.

Yeah, I’m stumped. I deleted all the plugins and restarted QBit, then clicked Update plugins. After restarting again, I had the default ones. But I can’t add any.

Just to rule this out, what do you mean by “enabling search plugins”? I don’t see a setting for that.

Oh, man. I’m definitely not going to point by point. On a sub-argument that’s not even the topic of the thread? These are minutes in my life I don’t get back. But, seriously? My argument is invalid because I said Windows 95 instead of XP? And I must not have used any good MP3 players? By the way, they all sounded the same since they were playing 128 kbps MP3s… by the definition of how those work, they had to 😂

And just to consider this from another angle, if apple did get the goggles from hololens, where did Microsoft get their UI from in the 80s? How about Android?

Wow, I am so, so done seeking out a non-groupthink argument in this format ever. On any site. The memes are still better than Reddit though!

Please do continue to spew ad-hominem copypasta from every Apple hate thread in the history of Reddit like you’re a first-gen LLM trained on r/foss posts. “All of that existed way before Apple” … please feel free to refute each product I listed as being innovative or new by showing where it previously existed. I’d love to understand how some form of the iPhone was around way before Apple, or the iPad – please go for it.

As for the statement that OSX is based on BSD, wow! Such an important distinction when BSD is a descendant of UNIX… this is a nice little straw man thing, please go look up what a straw man argument is.

On Jobs getting banned from demos, that’s actually hilarious. But please do list any products I named that Apple objectively stole. I’m sure you have all the info there.

Just super fun times, I always hoped that Lemmy would have a higher level of discussion than Reddit. But how can it, when it’s the same people and they’re even more self-important? :D

Yes, Xerox PARC existed, and was totally non-commercial / didn’t offer any product. Saying the iPod was the same thing as all those crappy MP3 players we all lugged around in the aughts is objectively LOL. The rest of your comment is pretty much ad-hominem and editorial – and of course, you don’t refute the rest of my points because you can’t.

Bottom line, discussions like this on Lemmy are no different than Reddit ever was. They’re circlejerks. I figured I’d drop in this one time to note that, but ultimately it’s pretty boring.

Oh, man! Quite a bit of traffic on my original comment. I won’t spend time engaging on these since they’re pile-ons, but this is objectively trivial to refute.

“They’ve almost never done anything new”? Seriously? How about the user interface when everyone was using DOS? Or the Mac Plus/SE/any of half a dozen other macs in the 80s and early 90s that redefined what a computer could act like and look like? When every other PC was a beige box with identical specs?

Maybe the iPod, which redefined that category and made every other MP3 player obsolete overnight? The iPhone, perhaps? This was the absolute gimme, like I can’t imagine how you made that comment with the iPhone hanging around. What were phones before the iPhone? Blackberries and flip phones. Yeah, it couldn’t copy/paste for two years, but Steve wanted it released, lol.

The iPad would be another. There were smart watches before Apple’s, sort of, but they were pretty crappy and didn’t do the same stuff.

While we’re at it, find me some PC laptops that ever debuted with the stuff Apple put in theirs. High-res screens? Touch ID? Face ID? Even OSX, which is old as hell, is built on UNIX and rock-stable – and was definitely innovative when it first came out, as were some of its predecessors. When OSX came out, your alternative was Windows 95.

Then there are the airpods, I don’t think there were any wireless bluetooth earbuds before those, although I might be wrong. And finally, despite it being way too expensive and five generations away from being useful, the ski goggles. Before you say there’s other VR goggles, recall that only Apple is doing that as AR computing instead of dumb fucking avatars in virtual conference rooms that probably run telemetry on how big your living room is and sell it.

By all means, say Apple is greedy as hell, but don’t make stuff up.

That’s fair. It is whataboutism (is that one word or 7?) And, I’m pissed off not only that Apple is messing with basic DMA compliance, but that they literally forked all their software rather than do this in the US.

At the same time, I hate Apple the least of big tech, since they actually do give a crap about building good products and have done quite a bit of that. One can make the argument that zero other big tech companies do.

Should we expect more of all of them? I’m not gonna die on that hill! It is way, way too late to stop this corporatocracy, but one can hope.
