  • Did you know it's still active? There are new expansions still dropping, you can play limited options for free, pay for everything, host your own server or play on others'.

    I've set up my own server for personal use and tweaked the server settings for fun.

  • Are leechers more likely to connect to seeders w/ faster uploads or is it equal opportunity?

    Jump

  • I don't believe so. I'm fairly certain it'll connect to as many as your settings will allow. I connect to 40+ seeders fairly routinely.

    Though there are other settings that will effect who connects to you or not. Encryption is one. Some leechers require the seeder sends an encrypted stream. Another is the port forwarding. If you don't have your port forwarding settings set up properly on your client and router then not as many will connect.

    On the other hand if your home network upload is maxed out due to low cable/dsl upload speeds, that'l stop new connections too.

  • I don't watch them obsessively, but once or twice a month I'll take a look to see if there's been any errors pop up (sometimes lists go dead) and everytime I'm floored by the %s. Just looked and 74.4% of all my dns queries are blocked. 3x the number of legitimate requests are blocked. Feels like just a few years ago it was closer to 50%. Makes me wonder how much worse things will get.

  • Why does my heatpump never stop dehumidifying?

    Jump

  • My guess is your heat pump doesn't have a good dehumidify mode. The thermostat does, but it's just turning on the A/C. A good dehumidify mode is a very slight A/C and moves a lot of air. So, if your compressor doesn't handle enough steps down, you're spending a lot of electricity for not much effect. A dehumidifier with a continuous drain might be a better solution for you.

  • Trailer looked awesome!

    Then I looked at the steam page.

    MMO Shooter. Hard Pass.

  • *arr stack keeps downloading .arj files

    Jump

  • You can try adding cleanuperr to your *.arr stack. It will listen to your queues and if something gets stuck, like .arj files, it'll remove them, blocklist them, and maybe re-search? I'm not sure.

    You can also change your settings in sonarr to not do any rss sync searches with your public indexers. This stops sonarr from seaching those indexers automatically for the next release. I've notices most of that garbage pops up before the official release, then gets drowned out by the real stuff after the release. If you leave the auto/interactive search enabled, you can just click the auto search button for the episode the day after it comes out. You likely won't pick up any garbage this way.

    I wrote a script that spam reports these, and I run it when I'm feeling frustrated with a something, but nothing I've spam reported with the script has gotten taken down yet. So, that sucks too.

  • FreshRSS weirdness

    Jump

  • Cool, did you install freshrss as a docker container, or as a package? I've also had issues with it not setting up crons and running them properly before too. Running the docker container helps, usually.

  • Depends, take a look at the rest of your settings in the Archiving page.

    You might have set "Never delete Unread Articles".

    Also, that purge job is on a cron. I'm not sure how often it'll run. Could be once a week or even month. Thousands of rss articles and links are only a few megabytes big. But you can push the "purge now" button at the bottom of the archiving page to check your settings.

  • What's the problem exactly?

  • I'm annoyed with the idea of getting a Mac

    Jump

  • Ask work for a windows VM image/key. Alternatively have you tried running the windows application in wine/proton?

  • Found some Firefox forks but can't decide which one to use

    Jump

  • I use FireDragon. Not on your list, but it's yet another Firefox fork to look at.

  • Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?

  • Microsoft Defender.

    I convinced my work to let me use linux on their laptop. They sent me instructions for setup. One of them was to install Microsoft Defender, had a link to the Ubuntu package and everything. Blew my mind.

  • Keeping "smart" devices on guest network

    Jump

  • Disclaimer: I'm not a networking guy, but I've worked with them.

    If you're looking for security, you set up vlans. I don't know enough about your setup to know if you setup a vlan, or just a separate subnet.

    The goal is to have separate vlans, to block all traffic between the two networks, and then add exceptions in the ACL. The ACL is essentially a firewall between the two vlans.

    With this in place the smart device can't scan your network to gather info. Also, if it gets infected, it can only attack through the opened routes or the other devices on the vlan.

  • Do you actually audit open source projects you download?

    Jump

  • Having gone through the approval process at a large company to add an open source project to it's whitelist, it was surprisingly easy. They mostly wanted to know numbers. How long has it been around, when was the last update, number of downloads, what does it do, etc. They mostly just wanted to make sure it was still being maintained.

    In their eyes, they also don't audit closed source software. There might also have been an antivirus scan run against the code, but that seemed more like a checkbox than something that would actually help.

  • swap SSD to test run Linux?

    Jump

  • Does your pc's mobo have 2 m.2 slots? If so, that's a great solution. If you do decide to stick with linux, that gives you two hdds. If not, you might want to consider buying a m.2 ssd to usb enclosure too. You can use it to transfer files you want to keep or for ventoy or backups.

  • Does Murderbot (Apple TV) have some new kind of DRM?

    Jump

  • Yea, I wish transmission did that too. Qbittorrent kept randomly soft crashing on me. It'd work fine for weeks, but suddenly all new torrents added wouldn't start downloading. I'd think it was the torrent, so I'd grab a handfull of alternatives, but nada. Reboot qbittorrent and it was fine and suddenly I'd have half a dozen copies of what I wanted. It was frustrating, plus the ui on mobile was bad. Vuetorrent was awesome though.

    I'll look at cleanuperr that looks helpful.
