I meant in the context of the VPN. It slows down the network for everyone on one which is run by donation. For commercial companies, it incentivizes them to further lock down what users can do or what speeds they get.

You can get into private trackers and trust them. Not recommended, but some do.

Generally speaking, the copyright trolls only target public trackers and DHT. There have been some instances of them making way into TL and others. Your ISP could also identify torrenting on private trackers if they wanted to, even with mitigations. In my experience and from what I hear, most ISPs do not go to these lengths.

So, there a risk doing the above. Whether or not it’s worth it until you can afford a decent VPN is up to you.

Aside: Please do not use a free VPN for torrenting (or tor, for that matter). They are either like RiseUp and run on donations for people who really, really need them, or Proton which is commercial and specifically try to block or slow down the traffic. Either way, if ruins it for everyone else.

You could install a version of ffmpeg-full locally, just for your user, with a different name. I do this for x265-mod-patman-git. It’s available as x265-mod and doesn’t conflict with anything.

I’m guessing that pfBlockerNG is using the IPInfo database to query what IPs the ASNs own, so I think it would be required. ASNs are not static, so it wouldn’t make sense to ship a database of them, it would immediately be outdated.

Outside of the coreutils and builtins, I use git a lot for work, school, and otherwise. I prefer the simplicity and speed over a graphical client.

btop is probably one of my favourites, really easy and nice way to visualize the system status.

Like many others, I switched to Jellyfin years ago. It is way, way better for me. It does what it says on the tin, sometimes more, but not less.

I wrote this little webapp thing some time ago. It’s not exactly what you asked for but is a good example.

All it does is base64 encode a link and adds the server url in front of it. When someone visits that link it will redirect them to the destination. The intent is to bypass simple link tracking / blocking in discord and other platforms.

There are also checks for known bad domains and an attempt to remove known tracking query parameters.

Edit: I forgot to add it also blocks known crawlers (at least at time of writing) so that they can’t just follow the 302 and figure out where it goes.

I always use veracrypt for stuff like this. You can encrypt a whole device or partition. It will appear like random data without veracrypt and your password.

You can have a second unencrypted partition with veracrypt portable or installers on it, but this is theoretically a security risk.

I’ve had pretty good experience with this. For the most part installing with Lutris and pointing it to the correct exe works. Generally games will not run due to actual compatability issues.

The real pain point is trying to install mods on certain engines/games where the modders assume a windows environment. Sometimes they ship precompiled binaries that will only work under specific conditions and it’s hard to debug.

I would also recommend Hugo, and believe it meets your requirements. The header markdown looks very similar to what you wrote, and it has tags. I’m not sure about a tag “cloud” the way you imagine it, but it’s worth looking into.

Neither of these are IDEs (nor is VSCode), but it’d be Zed and Neovim for me. Zed is fast and pleasant to use, but also will enshittify eventually. Debug support is in progress but not live. Neovim is fun and it’s nice to be more in control of what is going on, but I haven’t made the necessary progress to be productive in large projects with it yet. I was excited for Lapce but it fell short, had too many issues in a short time.

What the hell is typical latency? To what?

Yeah qBittorrent does

Several do, specifically Radiance and Torrust-Tracker that I know of off-hand. There are definitely others.

A recent project of mine was a utility for creating v2/hybrid torrents, and I’d like to follow it up with a client and maybe tracker in the future.

I have a storage VPS and use Borg backup with Borgmatic. In my case, I have multiple systems in different repos on the remote. There are several providers, such as hetzner, borgbase, and rsync.net that offer borg storage, in the event you don’t want to manage the server yourself.

rin is pretty much the place for stuff like that

It is alive on their home tracker, BLU, with 4 seeds.

It sounds like you just need some good release groups to focus on. Ditch automation and sort out what exactly you want, then phase back in radarr.

I went through and built a license, then read through it.

I don’t think most of the things contained would be legally enforceable. We barely even have traditional open licensing that works, much less one that tries to enforce an ethical framework. Instead of this, we should work toward wide-reaching law that protects people’s rights, something that has teeth. Asking people to please not enslave someone with your library will never work, they will do it anyway or just not use your library, as they already do with copyleft licenses.

Someone send this to Stallman, so he can later download, print and view it at his pleasure.
