  • This is a whitewashing of the events and makes no mention of them deleting any comments critical of her, firing well liked employees like Victoria who ran AMAs, banning many subs for "hate speech" while keeping places like The_Donald at the top of reddit search results and untouched even though these users continuously spread hate speech and brigaded the rest of the site. Most of the subs went dark in protest of her actions and it wasn't because a bunch of incels got banned. Voat being a site full of Nazis is entirely inconsequential because Nazis love nothing more than luring in and indoctrinating 'outcasts' and do the same on every other site too.

  • Makes you wonder if it's intentional. Older redditors might remember when Ellen Pao came in as CEO and then made a bunch of unpopular changes that everyone hated. She then fell on the sword and Huffman came back in as "the hero" to take over as she left with her golden parachute and all the unpopular changes remained. People realized this was the plan the whole time, and her role was to be the scapegoat for the garbage that the leadership wanted implemented, but they were all working together the whole time.

    We've been seeing the same with the DNC and RNC for nearly two decades now. Republicans get in and destroy a bunch of shit but also cut taxes for the wealthy. The Democrats then defeat them and get to act like the good guys while not fixing any of the mess but giving a lot of lip service about how unfair things are for the common person. Once things like the tax cuts are set to expire, they allow the Republicans to win again so they can extend them and the cycle repeats.

  • I don't think this is always the case. I was asked by a woman that I was training at work if she could borrow $20 a few months ago and this was my initial response "what for?" Then my brain kicked in and I recognized that it could be for something innocuous like lunch or something else like tampons or other personal items and that it wasn't any of my business, so I told her "sorry that seemed kind of personal" and offered it to her.

    If someone asked me for a more significant amount of money, I'd definitely want to know what for, but a one-time request for $20 is fairly inconsequential to me if it's someone I know.

  • The was the whole point of the "defund the police" movement as they wanted to take that funding and put it toward alternatives to police for situations exactly like this but the right wingers turned off their brains and recast the meaning to be "the left wants to eliminate police."

  • They also just passed "allowing homeless people to be locked up for being homeless." This is just a byproduct of the shitty two party system because neither party is really accountable to the public whether they're active shitbags like the Republicans or passive shitbags like Democrats. It's not like many voters will switch sides.

  • I think the limited storage is the cause of your reservations. If you could just buy a few large HDDs, you can pool them all into a RAID array and then store your library and downloads on said pool. The arrs can then create hardlinks which allow you to have "two" copies of a file while only using the storage space of a single one. One stays in Qbittorrent and the other gets renamed and moved to your library automatically. You retain the files until both copies are deleted.

    As far as setup goes, Trash guides are popular as mentioned in other comments. I ran all this on Windows for over a decade but recently setup proxmox and host everything in docker containers now (along with a bunch of other non-media related stuff). It got to a point where everything started running like shit on Windows and I regret not setting things up on a Linux based OS long ago because my library has become quite large and I was essentially 'trapped' in an unfriendly OS with no easy way out (I essentially had to buy and build a whole new pool of drives and then move all my media over weeks to avoid losses), so I would seriously consider a Linux based setup if you're not already.

    I have no advice on German media, but I would suggest trying to get into private trackers like you intend. Long-term seeding and freeleech files will take you a long way even if you have terrible upload speeds. I've built up dozens of TBs of upload credit with a 10Mbps upload speed just off bonus points and the little actual uploading I could do.
