I used transmission for years, but the larger my library got the more issues I had. Currently using Qbit and loving the categories for easier management, especially with the *arr suite.

I think “What Remains of Edith Finch” traumatized me to this day.

It does, but honestly its more stable for me with proton. At least it used to be I haven’t tried the native version in several years

The Long Dark

That makes total sense from a corporate perspective. Maybe I would just love to be the one the pushes us a little bit closer to the enduser having control of their data and hardware. Its probably a pipe dream though lol.

I’m planning on getting some recertified Seagate Ironwolfs from SeverPartDeals very soon

GPLs “restrictions” are freedom preserving though. It only restricts developers from keeping dirivitive code proprietary. In order to violate the GPL you’d have to choose to use GPL code and then choose not to release your modified versions of it under a similar copyleft license. It may seem counterintuitive, but having those restrictions results in more software freedom overall - similar to the paradox of intolerance.

I’m not saying MIT or so called permissive licenses are bad, but the permissive/restrictive language is just as loaded as the OPs suggestions. Both styles are needed, but copyleft licenses are better at promoting software freedom.

Edit: I do agree with you that LGPL serves an important role in promoting free/libre software where it would otherwise would never be used.

Aren’t AI images banned here? There’s no meme to this. Its just stolen art.

Edited my kernal parameters to prevent my CPU from going into a low power state that had been causing crashes for years apparently.

Edit: if you use 1st gen ryzen and have been putting up with intermittent crashes thinking it was your shitty old used GPU like me, try disabling c-state 6.

Why would you not be able to access the filesystem of a device you own and are in possession of? Is this some kind of walled-garden thing I’m too Apple-free to understand?

Um… Its not ironic at all? Mozilla has been active and well regarded in privacy oriented spaces for many years.

My local library system does 10 pages free per day.

It’s not just about the content posted by individuals though. The community and relationships built on a centralized platform are also at risk to a much greater degree than they would be on federated social media.

It’s also supposed to make up for lost tax revenue on fuel, which would (theoretically) go to road maintenance.

I’ve been using Librera FD. Not sure if it meets all of your needs, but it can be integrated with a Calibre server at least to grab your books from another machine. I haven’t bothered to see if it will sync what page you’re on though.

Well since nobody can name a tracker with any AV1 content, I will for anyone finding this post in the future.

As mentioned in the OP, LST.gg has an uploader, KIMJI, who encodes western cartoons, TV, and movies in 1080p AV1. I personally love the quality and file size of his encodes. There’s some other AV1 content there as well. Several WhiskeyJack encodes have been uploaded, although I don’t know where they originate.

I really wish I knew where to find anime in AV1 still.

I love KIMJI encodes.

Yea I’ve heard that grain synthesis can be tough to get right with AV1. I’ve seen people (that know much more than me) talk about ways to make it better though.

I think Av1an gets better results.

I do think that’s why people like it more for cartoons and anime.

Any release groups you see consistently?

I’m well aware of the tradeoffs. Besides, encodes of remuxes and full disks can easily be better quality than web-dls, and with av1 or HEVC can be smaller file size too.
