  • Hopeful look...American South Africans too ? South Africans with drug issues and who apparently overstayed their visa at one stage ?

    Maybe maybe please ?

  • to the left

    yet still barely over the left centre part of the political spectrum

    Yeah, I chuckled at that. Labor is centrist with MPs soft right and soft left around the centre. The Greens are left but they lost 2 seats.

  • Transformers earthspark for one off the top of my head - my upload ratio is triple digits but there's never more than single digit seeders

  • Yes absolutely, keeping your trackers up to date is important, they do expire

    https://newtrackon.com/list

    for example

    will give you an up to date list of live trackers to replace the dead ones with

  • You've had a good answer by letstakealook, but just to expand on one point, you need to leave your torrent application (qbittorrent or whatever) running in the background for an extended period. If you close the app and don't load it again after you've got the download then you're not seeding - seeding means to share it to others after you've finished downloading

  • You can seed without port forwarding, it just means the other side needs to have it.

    Just keep your torrent client running and people will connect

  • That's not only quite defeatist it's not really true. Everything can be reverse engineered, obviously in some cases it's not economical, but John Deere tractors and their obnoxious lockdowns are a classic case of where this leads to genuine value for people. JD robbing the farmers of the ability to perform simple repairs and charging huge bucks to do them ends up with costs on your grocery bill. This bill doesn't directly impact that I don't believe but it's the simplest clearest example of why this is important.

    This is brilliant news - we're all better off for it.

  • Great news. About time something good happened politically.

  • That's a puzzling position, they don't have a majority, and the NDP are not exactly a long way from the Libs on most subjects. NDP have enough seats to make it a coalition majority

  • Nice, glad it worked for you

  • I got them off 1337x.to back about a year ago, but as I just found out when I went and searched they no longer have it indexed (presumably too long at 0)

    I tried to DM the magnet link to someone who DM'd but for some reason that didn't work. Happy to share the links if that is useful

  • this is what's in the stuff I'm trying to chase down - video footage, early singles that sort of thing (hopefully the pic works)

    Yeah that didnt work, maybe this link

    EDIT

    I'm an idiot those are most of the albums/EPs and I don't have "for the ladies" and "rollercoaster" thank you

  • Cheers. That's their song with someone else's video, I'll grab it and stick it in the "adaptions" folder

  • Fair enough - racks in entirety/untouched dramatically reduces the risk of not being able to get stuff back up because of miscabling or missed cabling. I could see that approach being sensible if you're moving across town.

    I personally wouldnt if moving between cities, YMMV of course.

  • MP3 is fine thank you

    I already have the well known albums (On Ice, Paging Mr Strike, Bring it on, Second Page for Mr Strike)

  • Really appreciate the response, thank you. I do actually have those 3 albums (bought the CDs), I'm more chasing the rarer stuff. But that link will get added and seeded now

  • I've been in charge of relocating several data centres.

    We tore everything down, servers out of racks etc.

    All servers, fabric switches drive arrays etc were individually wrapped in bubble wrap then the heavy removalists cloth then into the large metal moving boxes (1500mmx1500mmx1500mm roughly) before being stacked so they couldn't move around, followed by ratchet straps securing groups of kit together.

    All this was done by professional removalists - no reason you can't do it though.

    Basically the principle is flexible padding (bubble wrap) to allow for movement close to the device without impacting it, heavy shock absorbing material (the felt), then put into a robust container (metal box) so limiting impact risk.

    I'd strongly recommend NOT to leave them in the rack - a couple of screws vibrate loose and then that device drops onto the one below it, bounces up and down through the journey and wrecks them both.

    If it's a mile up the road, sure, you'll probably be fine and get away with it, multiple hours on the road ? It's not surviving it.

  • This won't actually work, but you can't blame them for considering it.
