If there’s a personal information field, filling it with random noise is marginally better than leaving it blank. The pronouns field is new but I’ve noticed a lot of women friends (that have gender neutral usernames and profile pics, and no linked social media) opting to not use it or set it to he/him because having it filled out accurately caused trolls and bots and incels to fill their DMs.

I’ve seen them in the wild, I live in the bay area. They look worse than in the pictures. The brushed steel catches every speck of dirt and oil. It’s like they’re driving a damn crock-pot.

Baldur’s Gate 3. Boring answer but it’s just very goddamn good.

I thought RAID1 enabled faster reads too, because both drives have the complete file. Writes don’t get a speed bump ofc, since those are still bottlenecked by the slowest single drive in the array

On the flip side, I’ve been using FX file explorer for this for years with no issues, but my roommate on the latest iPhone (a year ago) encountered a pretty horrific oversight in the default Files app’s way to handle this (and no option to use third party apps).

Whenever she tried to copy more than 2GB from the network drive to the phone via Files, the phone would completely lock up and freeze (and stop transferring, which I confirmed by looking at read operations on the home server). She had to hard reboot and copy the files over multiple operations instead of just queuing up 50GB of audiobooks once and letting it transfer in the background. It turns out the Files app handles network assets by loading them all into RAM and then writing them to the iPhone’s NAND, and if you try to perform an operation that takes more than the phone’s current available RAM it just does the Apple equivalent of a bluescreen.

Early Access games should never have a battle pass or cash item shop.

One guy buys, rips DRM, uploads to pirates. That’s how almost all piracy works, someone usually had to buy a legit copy.

If my private trackers don’t have what I’m looking for, DHT search engines like btdig always have my back when it comes to audiobooks.

Low seed count? You only need one seed. That’s the point of torrents.

I grabbed my first nzb from drunkenslug, but Google results for an nzb client seem to be SEO-spammed and full of clients that are their own indexing platforms. Is nzbget good? It’s the only one I could find that doesn’t look like it’s trying to sell me something.

Check that your client is whitelisted by the tracker. Some trackers wait to approve the newest versions of qBittorrent.

I don’t run anything on the server because I don’t need to. I have my home server mounted as a network drive in Windows, so I just point Kopia’s database at a folder in there. It’s stored as an encrypted backup, and I’ve got the config for Kopia backed up in a few places (and the encryption key as well) so if the worst case scenario happens to my PC I’ll just reinstall Kopia on a fresh windows install + HDD, restore the config from the backup, then restore the backup.

I also have a backup target to an older 8TB drive that I leave with a friend and update whenever he visits for extra safety, if my whole apartment with my PC and server burns down I’ll at least be able to have an outdated snapshot and lose only a month or so instead of decades.

Seconding FX. It’s also got a super useful quick-share to other devices running FX.

KopiaUI is fantastic and easy to use. I used to run Duplicati but it had database issues that kept coming up and forcing a sixty-hour rebuild process every couple weeks and I wasn’t happy with the idea of my PC potentially failing during one of those six days per month.

Child sexual abuse material - underage porn. For obvious reasons, you don’t want this to be something you’re hosting automatically out of your basement server.

They do. Also you can play the pirated version online, there’s no DRM. Good on you for buying it though, it’s the kind of game it’s good to support

The account looks more real. A ten year reddit account with a bunch of real comments and 100k karma looks like a human being, so when they post something like “Razer mice have really gotten amazing over the past couple years! I have the new Naga and I couldn’t live without it” on the PC gaming subreddit, there’s a higher chance that looks like a real recommendation from a real human than a paid ad.

Isn’t using an alternate discord client bannable under Discord TOS?
