FYI I reduced my power draw on my server by setting connection limits in qBittorrent so that may help to reduce it further (even at idle). I need to investigate my bios too, just keep forgetting.

No idea, sorry. I just used an email I set up for random stuff. TBF that email address doesn’t get any spam and it’s been a couple years since I signed up there.

Rutracker.org and a torrent client. It has loads of niche stuff. Use browser translate so you can read the website.

Governments are the enforcement wing of Capitalism. So it’s both really.

So for music, MusicBee

FYI for anyone on Linux, Strawberry music player is IMO closest to Musicbee.

I’d love to see one captured then injected with expanding foam aka the speed camera treatment.

I couldn’t help but read this in David Mitchell’s voice.

Great comment, thanks.

TIL, thank you.

I’m done discussing this. You’re wrong. A simple google search will show you a bunch of posts on Reddit and elsewhere saying the same thing I am.

It’s not my responsibility to make up for your decision not to find easily accessible information.

It’s a tracker. It works on exactly the same principles as torrents.

Here’s a screenshot of a search and download I did on a VPN that doesn’t allow port forwarding.

Nope, the port can be open on either the downloader or uploaders side. It doesn’t matter which. Only one is needed.

The open port is only to facilitate a direct connection between PCs to upload/download. It is not required for your client to advertise through a tracker, DHT or PeX that you are an available seeder.

You need to have port forwarding enabled to upload.

No you do not. Either the uploader or downloader needs an open port, it doesn’t matter which.

FAFO

Main character moment.

I’d much rather have to find space for my server than for 1000s of Blu-rays/DVDs/CDs.

Planetes, Gungrave… nice taste :)

Cheers, good to know!
