Can confirm.

I’m convinced that private trackers are the pirating equivalent to snipe hunting.

Like, I’m sure they exist, but mostly just for sake of trolling casuals who aren’t willing to spend hours and hours min-maxxing their client and torrent list.

I see qbittorrent has “experimental” support for i2p, but I would need to look into what all that setup entails.

Gotcha. Yeah, I just have a standard 1gig residential fiber connection with unlimited data from a large US telco. I’m sure there is some provision in the T&Cs where they could cap your data, but so far they are holding to the “unlimited” statement.

I don’t necessarily prefer them, I just honestly haven’t put much effort into getting into any private trackers.

4523 is insane! Like I mentioned in another post, my top is about 400:1, and that’s romcom I’ve never even heard of, but that my wife wanted lol

I that case, I got nothing 🙁

Anyway, I know some folks just can’t seed for whatever reason. No biggie. To each as they need, from each as they can provide

Even so, I’m not gonna judge. It took me awhile to realize my mistake there as well. 🍻

Are you using a VPN that allows port forwarding? It took me a couple months of slow uploads to realize that was my problem.

Honestly at least in US the ISPs couldn’t care less until a studio or something comes after them. But I have qbittorrent bound to a VPN, which is enough.

The highest on my server is over 400:1 and it’s a random romcom my wife wanted. Go figure, lol

All just public trackers. I haven’t been able to get into any private invites, but aside from some niche stuff, the public ones have been serving me well enough.

Yeah you’re technically correct, which I’m told is the best kind!

Personally I deal with it by prioritizing the data.

I have about the same total size Unraid NAS as you, but the vast majority is downloaded or ripped media that would be annoying to replace, but not disastrous.

My personal photos, videos and other documents which are irreplaceable only make up a few TB, which is pretty managable to maintain true local and cloud backups of.

Not sure if that helps at all in your situation.

It took me awhile to figure out the correct setup to get Sonarr, qbittorrent, and Jellyfin all to play nicely together, but once you get it figured out, it transparently addresses the problems of folder structure and allowing you to keep seeding content.

I had the same issue as you, initially, where I had to do a ton of library maintenance in Jellyfin. But since using Sonarr to monitor and import media from torrents to a structured media library, Jellyfin has been pretty hands-off

Cold air tends to be very dry, which can most definitely irritate your nose and throat (among other body parts). That irritation and drying out can make the thin skin and mucous membranes more vulnerable to attack from bacteria and viruses.

The only really unscientific part of your post is that the cold air itself is not the direct cause of illness.

People with a strong immune system might not see a big difference, but if you are already more susceptible to getting sick, then the link to cold air may be more obvious to you.

Having been surprised to see Tool twice in this thread, I think you hit the nail on the head.

Between Maynard’s voice, and the basslines OP mentioned, they definitely have a distinctive sound, and I could see how it could blur together as background / casual listening music. Especially if you listen to mostly mixes ot playlists.

Personally, I almost exclusively listen to music by album, and I think thats where Tool’s songs really become more distinct from each other.

I know you’re being somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but being an honest, trustworthy, and genuinely pleasant person to deal with will let you get away with at least a 10-25% premium in my opinion (depending on project size). More importantly, if you can deliver that service without charging too much of a premium, you’ll be the first, and maybe only, person I call or recommend for the next project.

I think you’re partially right, but only about everything having a separate app.

The reality is connected devices will be so ubiquitous and commonplace that the interface will become standarfized and totally tansparent. Connecting to any arbitrary device will be as simple as connecting to an arbitray web server through a browser.

Every device needing its own app is temporary and unsustainable.
