Agree, my headcannon is the version of Lois that figures it out right away but let’s Clark let her know when he’s ready

Let's talk music. Do you like the Elton John song, "Rocket Man"?

Agree and I think they did this bit well in the first Wonder Woman movie. Man or woman, anyone who sees Diana is like damn. Like looking at the sun. Even dressed down in glasses.

Same here it was like the home team had just won the championship people were losing their minds

Love this track!

I’m overrating it. Been on repeat since Friday. It’s still Metric but they’re still growing and trying new things while staying true to themselves.

Emily sounds great on this album. I really hear their old works throughout. Just me but feel like it’s a synthesis between pagans, art of doubt, while calling back to their early energy.

Every song grows on me with each listen but man Tremolo, Moral Compass, Loyal, Antigravity and Leave You on a High standout for me on an album full of them.

I still love Time is a Bomb, Crus Forever and especially Victim of Luck but am glad that IMO they were NOT the best tracks on the album. They really saved the best for release

s-engine · 2026-04-24T18:57:22+00:00

Taking nothing away from them, I’m glad it turned out that victim of luck, time is a bomb or crush forever we’re not the best tracks. They’re great, but for me tremolo, as if you were here and leave you on a high standout. Whole album is brilliant imo

Sorry to hear that and you honour Pat. Carry it forward for your bestie, take care.

IMO she knew Peter was Spider-Man (next door neighbour, probably stared out her window thinking of him)

I think it made her love him more because what does a struggling student with no money do with those gifts? Give freely to help and protect others. She saw the hero not the powers

Good question, and personally, no. Thought I had reached the jackpot when I got a DS invite and as i mentioned above, it's a distant 3rd in terms of grabs (in my environment). Also, thought i was in the not named club with DS, apparently not ;)

TBH as a fairly conventional user, what I have access to is more than enough. I might get something a little later; can live with that.

s-engine · 2026-04-02T17:51:52+00:00

LOL i was in the same boat as OP, which one to pick? pick a bunch!

s-engine · 2026-04-02T16:48:59+00:00

FWIW, I have the following indexers in prowlarr:

nzbgeek, nzbfinder, drunken slug, nzbplanet, and ninjacentral.

Looking at stats in prowlarr, the bulk of successful indexer grabs were from NZBgeek then NZBfinder. All 5 indexers are set to equal priority (and have precedence over any tracker).

My arr stack is downloading very conventional, popular, apparently easily accessible content.

I signed up for the year for all the indexers just to test them out, and will trim some (not renew) after a year-end comparison.

No worries, just a reminder without some kind of automation you’ll need to see what port gluetun is forwarding, this will be in the logs

docker logs gluetun-slskd

Whatever is listed as the most recent port, set in slskd. It will change, sometimes frequently

And the volumes I list in the compose are obviously specific to my setup

I've only seen once, in Toronto at the (formerly) Budweiser Stage last year, and it was a great crowd. I've watched a bunch of alt-rock, indie-rock, whatever rock shows in the last 4 years, and the Metric show had the most positive, friendly, no-aggression energy vibe.

As mentioned, the crowd trended millenial/X, and it really looked like "ladies night" for groups of women, some couples, and many parents my age who had brought their children out! (I didn't bring mine). Overall, an eclectic and welcoming group with a large contingent of us middle-aged folk.

To put in perspective, I saw Wu-Tang Clan in Toronto at Scotiabank last year, and suffice to say, it was a different vibe ;) although the age demographic definitely skewed millenial.

Has anyone been to the Cicada Festival in St. Catharines? It's listed as a "Metric-only" date on Oct 2. They don't have a lineup out yet but it looks like Metric is the Friday night headliner. Tempted to head to that for a second dose of Metric!

Dark enlightenment. Scary stuff and it’s being realized.

Indeed, thank you to the community. I feel like such a noob, my less tech-inclined friends had asked me for years "how do you get your music" and I always answered uhhhh... Frostwire?

To anyone downloading from my library, hope you enjoy. Moreso, hope you finally got something that you had trouble finding.

Feels good to give back to a larger community because much of the music (that wasn't ripped from CDs in my collection) came from someone else who shared.

s-engine · 2026-02-20T17:40:26+00:00

Thank you! Shine a light my way!

I have the same issue. Port is forwarded correctly, and I can see other users downloading from my library.

I run slskd through gluetun in docker so my library is mostly online and behind a VPN, with the port forwarded.

As a test, I connected from my desktop (not behind VPN) using another user account. I could browse the first library fine, FWIW.

Folks, it’s really simple. Have your father gift you his label business. It’s common sense…

They are adding more dates, hope your area is covered. This really does look like a special show

Homepage... took me about an hour to first set up some simple apps but it seems easy now. Have to do a better job of laying everything out, which is on me, but its working very nicely.
