And where do you store them? Do you have a NAS? Or a big disk for backups?

Yes, I also love it! But sometimes he's a bit repetitive. I usually watch his videos at 1.2x speed

Every Frame a Painting came back to life one year ago! He uploaded some new videos :)

Every day that passes I think more and more that I should have a local backup copy of my whole GOG games collection.

Case in point: Windows 11 "Light" (LTSC) from Microsoft has the classic and advertisement-free version of Notepad.

Yeah, I don't think neither Firefox nor Chrome do that on Linux

Edge runs in the background so it opens faster when you click a link somewhere. Chrome and more recently Firefox do the same.

Imagine: pirating ebooks but donating money to the author at the same time. Win win.

Can you actually download a torrent without seeding it?

He didn't even kill. He's innocent.

lol yeah maybe we should be more specific when we talk about Europe

Me too. When I read "season pass" my mind goes to scams and games riddled with in-app purchases. No thanks.

Good luck from Italy. I hope you don't end up with a nazi party... again.

Yes, I also hate it!

The Italian version of Excel had the brilliant idea of translating the MID() function into STRINGA.ESTRAI(), which means "extract string".

Seriously, what the fuck.

I think it's related to the number of open connections. If you have 100+ torrents you're going to have a lot of open connections to leeches, so your new downloads will have to wait for slots to open.

You could fix it by setting all of your seeding torrents as low priority, so your new normal-priority downloads will start.

Is there an easy way to permaseed in qBittorent?

Exactly. There's little point in keep seeding popular torrents on public trackers (it's a different story for private trackers though).

But if you have a rare torrent that has been difficult to complete, please please keep seeding it for as much as possible!

European Google Maps alternatives:

• Magic Earth
• Organic Maps
• GeoVelo (specific for bikes)
• OSMand

I think Lemmy should display a simple warning on sign-up that everything you post on the fediverse can't be reasonably ever deleted, because it's going to be shared to possibly infinite different parties.

Yeah, that's what I also wonder. Lemmy is still too small to attract any attention from regulators, but I wonder how the GDPR would work with federation.

There are some differences with normal social media though: every instance is managed by different people, so in theory you would have to ask every federated instance for your data to be deleted.

Or, maybe, posting on the fediverse may be compared to spreading pamphlets with your messages to many different people; you can't expect a reasonable way to "recall" everything you shared with the public.

I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. But it's going to be interesting. Meta, in the meantime, decided not to risk it at all and their fediverse integration just doesn't work in the EU.
