EDIT: I am pretty happy about the one at 755 ratio. 78GB * 755 = 57TB. That alone is 35% of everything I’ve uploaded since I installed qBittorrent in February.

And I gotta say, I love the attempted support by you and others. Peace, love, and humptiness, forever!

Unfortunately not more I can do regarding the router, each one is different after all.

I use IRC for most of my searches and only use torrents for hard to find things. I’d love to see stuff like Linux distros, the internet archives, and other seemingly important (legal) causes, if I can get them to work consistently.

I don’t know which IRC/XDCC service you use, but I only recently heard of https://www.xdcc.eu/ which is pretty nice. Back when I watched anime in the early 00s I used to do most things via IRC, just so convenient to look up groups on like anidb.net (of course still possible, example: subsplease -> XDCC) and get it straight from the source.

I agree with Linux distros. I’d prefer that all of them used torrents besides their regular mirrors. Distrowatch has a tracker, and then there’s FOSStorrents, but there’s no guarantee ones distro of choice ends up there.

There’s also TamperMonkey (closed source) and ViolentMonkey (also MIT license like GreaseMonkey). I prefer ViolentMonkey. I believe there was a reason many years ago where either Tamper or Grease monkey didn’t work for like a week which is why I switched, but I believe they’re all equally good.
Manifest v3 might make it harder to get going on chromium browsers in a months time, but looks like you’re on Firefox - shouldn’t be problem there.

What @dmention7@lemm.ee wrote: qBittorrent can pretty easily punch a hole through your router if you can enable UPnP on it. Don’t forget to enable it in qBittorrent as well, although I think it’s on by default.
If that’s not an option, then you might have to spend a bit of time setting up port forwarding manually, which has always been a pain, but once you learn it, it’s quite easy.

After I’ve gotten 1gbit fiber I tend to try and hit ratio 1000:1 on anything I seed. Back when I was on xDSL connections before fiber, I tried to hit 1.1:1 because my thinking was if everyone tried to do that, there’d literally never be data loss.
I recently tried getting “The Sinking of the Laconia” miniseries and it took 8 days to get it. But I’m not member of a private tracker where it was available anyway, so sometimes public is better as long as one is patient.

I wrote a school report on the plastic garbage patches (pacific, indian, north atlantic, south pacific) when I was still in my twenties. Maybe it was a coincident, but I had a real big depression around that time, so maybe ignorance would’ve been preferable.

I try to avoid them as well. They show up a lot in search results for no reason, but adding something like “before:2100”, that is, refining one search to show videos before the year 2100 in this case, that removes a bunch of unrelated shorts as well. In general whenever I see a feature I don’t like, I check if others hated it as much as me and did something about it via a userscript.

What about flatpak tho? https://flathub.org/apps/net.supertuxkart.SuperTuxKart

Not an expert, but looked at a few libxul.so searches and it was a mixed bag, but one of them said it could be ram problems. Might be worth trying memtest86+.

Disgustingly there were way too many carpets of way too garish colours all over the place, even in bathrooms around that time. It’s possible this room is something akin to a hotel room with a literal minibar, because yeah, that certainly looks like a bed, and it is odd to have that so close to where they’re drinking.
And if this is AI (does the dude on the right have 6 fingers? resolution is not high enough to tell what’s happening near the pinky) it’s taken the mirror image into account which is very impressive.

They were just trying to be funny, but I also wonder what it means.

This is probably a real photo from the 70s, but it looks so timeless I could also believe it was a really elaborate cosplay.

I hadn’t seen that sketch in a little while, I was pleasantly surprised to see they added 14 additional audio tracks with translations. I wish that was more common, making humour more international like that.

You can just get a userscript that redirects it to become a normal video.

This is obviously about Australians calling their mates “cunts”.

Reminds me a bit of the bagworm moth.

Trying to get re-diagnosed as an adult (parents lost/shredded childhood records…) and got hit with a variation of “since you’re not trying, you must be happy as you are” from a psychologist that listed ADHD as a specialty…

There definitely seem to be this mentality of “if you made it this far, then it’s not serious” attitude to adult diagnoses.

Question if this was a failed of succesful skill check…

This is why I always wear a big empty backpack, ain’t no way I’m walking into a boss fight situation with full inventory preventing me to pick up spare health potions or the occasional wheel of cheese.

Just the right amount of pancakes if you ask me.
