OBS adds a system tray icon to let you know it’s recording

This program adds a system tray icon to let you know you’re gay

The system isn’t closed though. More people join the tracker all the time, and that’s to say nothing of the people who already have access to the tracker downloading a new file.

Hard disagree

Idk what it has that a DualSense (PS5 controller) doesn’t

^{say what you will about sony but god DAMN that controller is good}

have a >1 ratio to download anything which is impossible by definition

They give you a bit of leniency after you first sign up. All that share ratio means is that you leave your computer seeding for a while after your download finishes, and when your torrent client has uploaded the file you got from them to e.g. 5 other people you can stop seeding it. They’re asking you to give back, is all. If you download a 3GB file from other people in the swarm and then immediately close the torrent before anybody can download it from you, after enough repeat times of you doing that, they’ll stop letting you download new files.

Trackers cannot read, and are not interested in, the number at the bottom of your torrent client, or your history with other trackers. They just care that you seed their torrents after you’ve finished downloading them so other people can download them too.

Everybody always says this, but I’ve yet to talk to anyone who even has an anecdote of talking to a Gen Z person for whom that’s true.

I’ve never heard of Wormhole before now but by the looks of things:

• croc is open source
• croc does not store files on the server at all, ever – it waits for both ends of the connection to be open to start the transfer
• croc cannot do true P2P – the sender uploads to the croc server which then streams it in realtime to the receiver
• croc does not work in the browser :(

for a true browser based p2p solution that uses WebRTC I’d suggest www.sharedrop.io

croc is a good solution for this if true P2P stuff fails

Fantastic! Love to see FOSS companies winning! Maybe someday soon Puri.sm will come out with a phone that doesn’t massively suck

Well first off, if you’re building a NAS, build it out of drives that are rated for NAS use. Seagate’s IronWolf line is a bit pricier than their BarraCuda but has better transfer speeds and (more importantly) better resiliency to vibration, which is important if you’re putting a half dozen drives in the same enclosure and don’t want them to fail prematurely.

Speaking of, how is NixOS for gaming? I remember trying it a while ago but not being able to get the Nvidia drivers working. I’ve since switched to a machine with AMD graphics though.

I haven’t had an opportunity to test it myself yet, but I’ve heard very good things about NixOS. The basic premise is that all of your system state, every config file in /etc, every package you have installed, everything, is defined by a single configuration file called configuration.nix. If you back up just your home directory and that file, you can plonk it into a brand new copy of NixOS, run a single command, and have it redownload and re-set-up everything else exactly how you left it.

i use…colors…

the servers in my and my friends’ network are called Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Heracles, and hp_elitedesk (don’t ask about those last two

I do come up with fancy names for my laptops though, usually some combination of the model of the laptop and the OS it’s running. Void Linux + Thinkpad = “voidpad” was pretty straightforward, but when my next machine was an Alienware running Arch I was a bit stuck. After a bit of thought I remembered that one episode of Star Trek with the Guardian of Forever and named it “guardianoffornow”

self hosted git ftw always

Jellyfin has an iOS client if you have a Jellyfin server (Deemix is a recommended addition)

When I create a fork (in the web UI) does my instance not git clone from the source instance? Not going around cloning random federated repos I can see, but…

A tool with fewer features that is harder to use is by definition an inferior tool.

we just consider freedom to be part of the criteria of a good tool.

You just described choosing an inferior tool for ideological reasons.

I’ve been using Organic Maps for my navigation. It uses the same OpenStreetMap data, but navigation (as well as searching for e.g. “food” as opposed to a specific place) works flawlessly and routing happens offline.

Zettlr is trying, it’s really trying, but it has less than half the features

Honestly I think he’s onto something
