  • You might have more success if you dial it back, average users don't need that deep of an understanding. They just need a functional system that does what they expect it to.

    I've converted several family members to Linux to ease my own role as their tech support. And it was as simple as preloading things they'd need, showing them what the new browser/email/whatever looked like, showing them the new "app store" (KDE Discover), and telling them to call me if it breaks. Some of them explored further and learned how the system works, others were just happy to click the buttons I showed them. None of them regret the change.

  • For the record, good American cheese does exist. It's just a blend of cheddar and Colby with some annatto for seasoning, instead of the extruded "cheese product" stuff in plastic wrappers.

  • And they've succeeded in making appeals difficult. The judge made a factual ruling that Trump engaged in insurrection, so any appeals also must accept that as a fact.

    It may not have been the outcome we hoped for, but it's a strong step in the right direction.

  • This is most likely something that someone else gave out, not OP. Some old school "friend" signed up for some app and shared their phone contacts, app proceeds to spam those contacts hoping for more sign-ups.

  • The easiest/safest way would be to adjust your plan, even though it would cost a bit more and feel kinda shitty. I'm pretty sure they offer an unlimited bandwidth "upgrade" for residential plans at like $10-15/mo, and all business plans should be uncapped.

    You could try to spoof your traffic somehow, but I could never get that to work reliably when I had caps. And the overage fees were worse than just paying ahead of time.

  • If 2-4 TB makes you think "data hoarder", you don't even want to know what the self-proclaimed data hoarders get up to. 10-20 TB drives aren't insanely expensive, and some of us have several of them.

  • It isn't great for the sanity, but watching hard-right news for a few minutes will show you just how much people do fall for this. They've started to openly (but gently) suggest that democracy was a mistake, and their audience eats it up.

    If Trump somehow wins, they're actively planning for that to be our last election. Ever.

  • FileBot isn't really necessary, the *arrs can handle renaming just fine with custom rules and formatting. It's just turned off by default. The only thing you'd need to add is subtitle downloading, and Bazarr does a better job of that anyway.

  • You have some options here. Your new internet doesn't mean you can't torrent from home. If you're using a VPN (you really should be) then your ISP port forwarding doesn't even matter. You just choose a VPN provider that offers port forwarding on their end, like Proton, and use that port for qbit. The only real advantage to setting up at your parent's place would be if their connection was faster or more stable.

    As for the server, the arrs can handle everything. They have settings (off by default) to rename and tag all of your files, based on rules you define. It's pretty easy to set it up to fully automate all of that processing busywork, so you just request things and wait for them to show up in Jellyfin.

  • Look into Caddy instead if you just need something simple for outside access. All you need is a DynDNS service (duckdns is easy), a few lines worth of Caddy config to point that address to your internal ports, port forwarding 80 & 443 to the machine running Caddy, and you're good to go. If you follow the documentation, you'll be running in 10 minutes.

  • Docker is a cleaner solution for split tunneling. Container for the VPN (gluetun), and container for qbit bound to the VPN container for network access. You still need to manage the listening port when Proton changes it, but that's easy enough.

    If you set it up right, it also doubles as a bulletproof killswitch since qbit can't see any other network.

  • They absolutely design cars with some pedestrian safety in mind. That's why hood ornaments went away and bumpers moved away from solid steel.

    I don't remember the exact numbers, but they have a metric along the lines of "X% of pedestrians survive impacts up to Y speed" that they need to meet.
