  • You just reminded me there actually was a browser called Torch that could download torrents like a normal download. It was basically just Chrome with a built-in torrent client.

    I remember trying it out when it first came out in 2012. It never caught on and looks like the last release was in 2020.

  • Only 3.6% inflation. Not great, not terrible.

  • Unfortunately the hostile takeover of the developer/publisher makes it hard to recommend buying. It's a must-play but not a must-buy.

  • I guess by "cybercrime" they mean piracy, because that's the main thing I've seen .su used for.

  • PIA is the best for torrents. It is $79 for 39 months which is $2.03/mo and they have port forwarding. That's less than half of pretty much every other provider.

    I have had 3 clients (one for a specific tracker, one for everything else, and an extra seedbox) going 24/7 for years with no problems. No complaints about the speeds either. I frequently saturate full gigabit on both downloads and uploads.

  • If you want to do less math you can just drop some zeroes and say it's the same as making $70k while losing $2.50

  • I don't think you need health insurance to play Gwen

  • +1 for MXroute. I have unlimited domains with 25GB of storage for $30 every 3 years. So less than a dollar per month. Looks like they are still offering it. It's more than enough for email especially considering the Gmail account I used for 15 years was under 5GB.

    I switched to them at the beginning of the year so about 9 months ago and have not had any issues.

  • Even on Linux where their drivers are supposed to be better, my 7900XTX has been crashing randomly for at least a month and it was only fixed in the latest 6.10.9 kernel release yesterday.

  • It might be their third most popular country but that doesn't necessarily mean it's profitable. Brazil isn't exactly known for spending a lot on things like Twitter Blue or ads, especially per capita.

    I have a theory they looked at the numbers and realized that shedding the load would save more money than they would gain by staying. But then again that might be giving Elon too much credit.

  • Yeah at least Google will let you in after you solve 5 puzzles. It's shit but it's possible. With CloudFlare you are at the mercy of whatever hidden criteria they're using.

    If you change your user agent from Firefox to Chrome for instance, CloudFlare will never let you through.

  • I remember Overwatch was one of the first DirectX 11 games to run really well when DXVK was new too.

  • Oh hey, I love your work on Plasma's HDR and color management. Glad to see you on Lemmy.

  • Phoronix is the ONLY website I disable uBlock Origin for.

  • I thought it was weird such an old piece of software had so much Rust in it. I noticed all the Rust-related things while Firefox Librewolf compiles but never looked into it further.
