I still remember 1 Jan 2000. There did seem to be some sense of optimism about where things could go. At least for those of us lucky enough to live in stable, developed countries.

Cold war over, Russia and The West seemingly on the same side, China opening up, exciting new tech connecting us but no toxic social media yet...

But then... the dot com bust, 9/11, the GFC, toxic social media and the rise of "the algorithm", Xi in China, Putin in Russia, a global pandemic......

Didn't really go where we hoped, can we restore to a backup from 1999 and try again??

I'm not the OP, but I had wondered the same thing. After already seeing up the other *arr's I couldn't work out the point of Prowlarr.

Re your comment about resource constrained, I have just started using Sonarr and Radarr on a Pi4. They seem to work OK. Had installed but not set up Prowlarr yet. Hopefully that wouldn't slow things down if I used it to sync the other apps.

  • Skyrim
  • Mass Effect
  • Assassin's Creed
  • Witcher
  • Cyberpunk 2077

Yeah, I'm guessing I'm the right audience for Starfield :)

That said, I liked but didn't love No Man's Sky. Wandered around and got a bit bored. Tried a few times to get more into it but couldn't.

I've never had a Facebook account, I've never had an insta account, but I do use WhatsApp.

Pretty much everyone I know whether old or young uses WhatsApp. When I was travelling, a lot of apartments, hotels and booking services used it too.

Seems to be the one messaging app that cuts across all generations, countries and also the Android/IOS divide.

This is so true.

For 10 years (2011 to 2021) I carried both an Android phone (personal) and an iPhone (work provided). Both phones were updated about every 2 years.

Over those years I've watched IOS get closer and closer to Android. The funny thing is Android has also been creeping towards IOS in some areas, though that is to a lesser extent than the other way around.

In recent years they've gotten pretty close to each other in basic functionality.

I still prefer Android, but IOS is much less annoying to use than it was a decade ago.
