I guess adding Gentoo would make NSFW tag mandatory

You all forgot to add the best yt-dlp option: --sponsorblock-remove all

DHT and tackers leaks you IP, on purpose. The goal is to establish connections between peers, the only way to do that is to use IP adresses. DHT and trackers act like a DNS, giving list of IPs associated to a torrent hash.

Now if you use a VPN, well configured, you’ll only expose your VPN output node IP.

Don’t disable DHT and PeX, both are used together to find peers on public torrents, in fact it is the only decentralized way to find them (otherwise you only rely on trackers, which can be DNS censored or took down like any regular website).

DHT is great! DHT is the bone that make torrent unstoppable!

If your soulseek and music directories are on the same partition, you can do hardlinks (cp -l) instead of moving files (mv), so the same file is available from the 2 locations while its content is only recorded once on your filesystem.

I’ve been banned from Ygg with “OUST” message also, I was just seeding some releases I already had to build up ratio on a relatively new account. New account start with a 10Gb upload and you need to keep ratio over 1 to get torrent link. I’ve been banned once I reached ~50Gb upload… I just hope French piracy will move away from those rats and find a better and more open torrent website.

jc141 release on 1337x are the best, no install, minimal space used and you can keep seeding without wasting space on a useless-after-first-use installer.

For instance jc141 release of Silksong is 1.9Gb
while fitgirl version is 1.6Gb installer + 7.6Gb installed.

Wow I thought LuckyPatcher was the only app of this kind. Did I miss another one?

To be fair, unlike Signal and Matrix, Tox does not rely on external server, it is full P2P. In that regard, setting up a Tox network is infinitely simpler. Also, the only thing you leak is your IP address that end up in tox DHT, which is a necessity for peers to be able to reach you. It could easily be hidden behind Tor or a VPN.

Assuming you meant CSV, xan is wonderful for this.

Hooray to Helix!

Parallel is great!

Alternatively your second command can be written as: parallel "copytags {1} {2}" ::: *.flac :::+ *.mp3.

Also it is nice to exec commands on multiple devices.

This only works for public torrents and with PEX enabled. For private trackers an open port is required.

Wrong, tracker provide IP and port of leechers, which is just what is needed to hole-punch. It is just slower, as the seeder fetch tracker info 1 to 4 times per hour, so by the time the hole-punched connection is established, leecher has already sucked up all the data from peers with open ports.

If you want to build up ratio on a private tracker with closed port, seeding a piece of a fat 100Gb+ torrent will do.

Bullshit, Trackers and DHT hold IP and port of peers, hole-punching technique allows to open both sides.

The only difference is the speed to establish connection:

• With an open port, it is done instantly as peers can reach you directly.
• Without, you need to wait for the seeder to fetch your IP from tracker (slow) or to recieve it from DHT (fast).

Now, the reason why it seems hard to seed torrents on private tracker, that disable DHT, is because seeders with closed port will only fetch leechers IP from tacker 1 to 4 times per hour, so by the time the hole-punched connection is established, leecher has already sucked up all the data from peers with open ports.

It’s fine to keep port closed if you avoid private tracker and DHT disabled torrents. If you want to build up ratio on a crappy private tracker, seeding a piece of a fat 100Gb+ torrent will do.

What about holepunching?

Wow… this is at least 3 times the world money stock worth of damage!

Both FOSS and piracy are about freedom. The first is given, the second is taken.

Why the hell is this flag as NSFW?? AFAIK most lemmy instance have NSFW content disabled by default, which is good, but this deserve more visibility.

This guy is a jaw dropping genius. It’s Such a Beautyful Day is an incredible masterpiece.

Article is wrong on Niri, the link is wrong, and it is not based on wlroots as suggested but on smithay.
