That’s not how hard drives work, and doesn’t take into account that OP might want to download more than one thing at a time.

Hard drives are fastest when they are moving large single files. SSDs are way better than hard drives at lots of small random reads/writes.Setting qbittorrent up so that all the random writes inherent to downloading a torrent go to a small ssd, and then moving that file over to the big hard drive with a single long writer operation is how you make both devices perform to their best.

qbittorrent moves the completed files to the assigned literally as soon as it is done.

Yeah, I use the incomplete folder location as a cache drive for my downloads as well. works quite nicely. It also keeps the incomplete ISOs out of jellyfin until they’re actually ready to watch, so, bonus.

If it’s not going faster for you there’s probably something else that’s broke.

Saw this downloader on my feed today, and it looks neat.

torrent galaxy has what you’re after (as a boxset), and does imdb id search results.

Not access, knowledge. Giving a specifically unique device identifier every time you visit a page is different from the website guessing if you visited recently based on your screen size and cookies.

You have to set up ipv6 to change regularly to avoid that.

You have to take extra steps to ensure that the benefits of NAT aren’t lost when you switch to ipv6. Everyone knowing exactly which device you’re using because a single ipv6 IP per-device is the default.

Ipv6 is nice, but also you need to know what you’re doing to get all the benefits without any of the downsides.

Not sure what you mean about migration. People absolutely do move less when it is made harder to move. Mitigation isn’t perfect, it never is, but for damn sure it helps.

Just because the wall is dumb as fuck doesn’t mean it didn’t stop at least a few people from crossing the border.

Probably for the best if downvotes remain less easy to access, at the very least. There’s a myth that people who are suicidal will “find a way even if you take away some of the easier methods”, which is explicitly false. If you take away the easy option, you are directly reducing the harm that easy option might have caused. https://gizmodo.com/why-have-people-stopped-committing-suicide-with-gas-5959303

If the admins take away the quick and easy option for seeing who downvoted your passionate comment, the mods are directly reducing the number of people who go on rants about downvotes and targeted vitriol.

It has nothing to do with privacy; this is a public forum that by it’s very nature, requires that all activity be easily available to all the sites you federate with. There is not privacy in that.

This is about the type of community that forms around the software. Do we want to encourage, and make easily available, the list of people who disagree with you? Or do we want to to put minor barriers around that to help keep the number of people who do that low?

Naw. Downvotes are invisible by default here on fedia, but we can see upvotes. Just gotta check the page for them.

I gotta say, I’ve known this for a while, and the lack of downvote transparency has always frustrated me in the moment, but looking back it’s probably for the best. I would not have used it in a positive way.

I have the att bgw-320 as well. Very excited for when the hardware for the bypass comes around.

I tried using the IP passthrough setup on it, but it ended up causing all sorts of slowdowns that I had troubles diagnosing. I was using the nanopi r4s with a WiFi AP when I had this issue. Make sure to look into compatibility with ATTs IP passthrough is not total passthrough so you might have to dig into the details to make sure it all works together.

Is this a bug, or is it actually just limited to the transcode speed? I would love to read the incident/bug report about this.

That huge chunk of learning required for arch when you’ve never used Linux before is really hard to imagine when you have years of experience working Linux under your belt. That does not mean it doesn’t exist for new users though.

That shit’s complex and long. Much as I appreciate the sentiment of “the distro doesn’t matter” I really can’t agree.

Very neat.

It’s also nice to have a reminder about choosing hardware for now and for future choices as well. I’m still on an nvidia 1080 but I’ll likely use amd next go around.

Nope. SD cards can do terabytes now. Walking away with it is probably the easiest part of the whole heist plan.

Getting around the obscure hardware and software DRM schemes, moving that much data quick enough that you don’t have to make two trips, getting the knowledge required to do all that… I figure those would probably be harder.

I ended up using a cam for a movie from 2009 to check to see if the movie had differences between the theater version and the DVD release. It didn’t but it was neat that I could, 15 years later.

So I respect it, but also, good god will I never actually watch them for the actual movie itself.

They make you compile it because it’s non-free software and you’re beta testing it in order to use it for free.

It has nothing to do with linux. They do the same for the windows beta.

I run Debian with zfs. Really simple to set up and has been rock solid for it too. As far as I can tell all the issues I’ve had have been my fault.

ZFS looks like it uses a lot of RAM, but you can get away without it if you need too. It’s basically extra caching. I was thrilled to use it as an excuse to upgrade my ram instead.

Mdadm has a little more setup then zfs, as far as I’m concerned. You need to set your own scrubbing up whereas zfs schedules it’s own for you. You need to add monitoring stuff for both though.

I’ve considered looking into the various operating systems designsd for this, but they just don’t seem to be worth the effort of switching to me.

Automatic updates were added about six months ago. https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore/-/issues/719

They’ve been working well enough for me.

Because everything’s a trade-off, people optimize different systems for different things

And microsoft has chosen to optimize windows 11 for online advertisers above or equal to the user experience.
