The writing has been peeling off of the wall since the channels were sold

There are lots of answers here already so I’ll just comment on the trackers detecting seeding.

Insofar as that’s not directly possible. Torrents are peer to peer, and that’s not some kind of code word. Your client is literally talking to someone else’s client. No server in between the two, no gateway, or anything (meaning one of the two clients need to have a port open too!). So a tracker cannot measure the amount of data flowing between two clients (aka. peers).

So the way trackers know how much you upload is that your client self reports that to the tracker. The tracker has no way to directly check the ground truth, other than relying on what the other client is saying about how much it downloaded from you.

Old or unknown torrent clients may have bugs in them which cause the client to report incorrect data. When a client overreports (reports more than it actually uploads), that breaks the equation that private trackers rely on to make sure there’s enough users on a torrent. So by using an old or unknown client, you might inadvertently damage the functioning of the tracker.

It was a total fluke, I’m not like some genious 😅 A few years ago I used nunito for a website I made so my brain lit up like a christmas tree when I saw it

As far as I call tell this is fake. The font for the title is called Nunito, which isn’t one used by Google for their UI. Could imagine it as real quite soon tho.

Zulip now encrypts your push notifications end to end from the Zulip server to your mobile device.

AAHAHA they really don’t understand what end to end means, huh?

Apparently it wasn’t suicide according to wikipedia, we just assumed it based on the situation

My custom Kinoite-based system using ublue-builder. Gets me updates with 0 interference with my daily use, secure boot, tpm based FDE, and I can still install packages during the CI step (although distrobox is the main way to do that).

I’ve been on Linux since my childhood (found it in a tech magazine in 2008), hopped through Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora, and Manjaro until like 2022 when I settled on Fedora KDE, then shifted to their immutable stuff 1-2 years later.

At that point I’d rather use a half functioning Linux phone than a locked down one. Hopefully stuff like Framework and Fairphone will follow through on making parts available for real old devices.

Nice! Not sure how you ended up with it saying “UP” on your interface, but if it works it works

enx0 is your wifi, nothing wrong there. Look for enp0 instead, that’s your ethernet.

Grepping for the interface may not be what you need to do, if NetworkManager is not bringing your ethernet up due to a different issue, so you’ll want to reboot and look at the logs again starting from the latest restart (it’ll mark that with a date/time stamp in the logs).

From what I can see on my phone, NetworkManager is enabled but not running. What happens if you do sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager or just do a reboot? If it stays “loaded” instead of “running” after, check the logs with journalctl -xeu NetworkManager (pgup and pgdown to scroll)

One morning shortly after coming home from a hospital I found a hole in my skin with something of absolutely hideous colour steadily trickling out of it. Spent another week in there and got some stronger stitches.

I think overall it’s good to have the experience of calling an ambulance, because now doing that isn’t just in the “other” category in my brain, but an actionable option for sudden situations.
