The trick is to use autodl-irssi or autobrr to download the torrent the second it gets added to the tracker. As long as you have a very fast internet connection, you will usually be over 1:1 before it finishes downloading.

They should just use Starliner for cargo until it can get to the station without any leaks or thrusters overheating.

There’s also a PPA if you don’t want to use a flatpak. Just be sure to uninstall it before upgrading to Mint 23 to avoid any issues.

This is one of the many reasons why you should be your own streaming service. 🏴‍☠️

yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl, which was released in 2006.

Yes, a used PC can work great for a home server. Just don’t go too old or it will be power hungry. Obviously you will want one with an integrated GPU to save power too. If you want to run jellyfin, make sure it supports hardware video encoding, preferably AV1 or H.265.

Any Japanese made surround sound receiver and speakers than you can pick up from a thrift store or craigslist will sound way better than the modern junk. It will have a big, heavy power transformer and linear amplifiers. There will be no internet connected spyware either. If you find one from the 90’s, it will likely have a phono preamp for your record player too.

There’s also a qBittorrent search plugin for it, so you don’t even need to open the website.

Who is going to need that much power in a desktop PC? Nobody uses multiple GPUs for gaming anymore. If you are using them for GPU compute, you would be better off with server hardware and multiple power supplies.

It should play in VLC or MPV, but HDR looks like crap on a regular monitor. Even after tone mapping, it will never look as good as something filmed in SDR.

I hope lots of people will post videos of them destroying the listening devices in interesting ways.

There’s no ads when you use uBlock Origin.

OCR makes a lot of mistakes, so unless someone bothered to go through and correct them, it’s only really useful for searching for keywords.

If they wanted to do that, they would have added a filter to hide games with kernel level anti cheat from the store.

What would they use it for? The 2.5 seconds of latency would be too high for most uses. Cooling will be very difficult with no atmosphere. Solar power will be hard since night time lasts two weeks. Radiation will damage electronics unless they bury them.

When you get skip on 11m, it usually goes halfway across the continent and nothing will be heard the next town over.

You need NVIS propagation to get a signal to a nearby location. That only works on lower frequencies like 30m through 160m depending on solar conditions. The signal gets send straight up and bounces back down in a several hundred mile radius around you. There is a map that shows which frequencies will currently work for NVIS as well as the Local Area Mobile Prediction tool to help you figure out what frequency to use for a given time and location.

Be sure to use constant quality mode too. Set the RF to around 16-18 for SD video when using x264 or x265. The lower you set it, the higher the quality is.

Nice, now your computer is mining crypto for someone else or part of a botnet.

Pirated copies rarely contain any of the extras. Some people actually do watch those.

Well, you are going to have to trust someone to store your offsite backup unless you can afford a second house somewhere. It should be a backup service where you can encrypt the data before uploading it though.
