I primarily buy used drives. Depending on your area, you might find buyers easily for your old 4TB+ ones.

Also the “auto normalize” option (true by default and only shown in advanced settings) can mess-up with your source files. Mouting source files read-only won’t work either as it is creating files in source folders.

These IPFS issues are basically UI-related. You wouldn’t expect a torrent to start within 2 seconds. You wouldn’t expect your torrent to be shared autonomously either. Technically, sharing IPFS hashes along with release names (similar to the crc32 on pre databases) would be very efficient, if only it was popular with a proper UI and indexing tooling. These hashes could even be signed by scene groups in the nfo.

It is not anonymous and suffers network fragmentation. Yet the force of Bittorrent is its large community and mature performant tooling (compared to IPFS).

I’d say yes. The user base / visibility of i2p torrent is pretty limited though. You can have a look at the Postman i2p tracker.

Sounds overkill just for backing up files.

Agree on Wireguard. It is faster, more stable and most likely more secured than SSH. And it will work with any application (no per-application configuration required). Without a third party tunneling service, you will need to expose a port in any case (you can setup port-knocking if you want to).

DHT is autonomous and does not require a tracker. Usually it is only used as a fallback as a regular tracker is quicker. It’s p2p, and is split accross people hosting it.

I guess if the copyright trolls got their way, there would be no general purpose computing.

Exactly. These kinds of statements are so naive.

I use BTRFS for the same. Being able to check for and repair silent corruptions is a must (and this is without needing to read the whole drives, only the actual files). I’ve had a lot of them over the years, including (but not only) because of a cheap USB controller also.

Same for me; pretty much all my CD-R are blank now; despite being stored properly 15 years ago.

It appears SimpleX is not even available for me (Android 8).

Woops yes ESO indeed.

The Elder Scrolls Online. Bought it, played 2 hours max.

Great project !

Naming conventions are missing some important information like bitrate, color depth, and most importantly language and subtitles.

Do you plan to scrape additional infos from known torrent sites (searching for torrent hashes for well named torrents) ?

Bookmarking this, thanks for posting ! I’ll add some gems to my try list :)

I did not know you could play with a controller on PC. Is thist a steam customization for the deck ? (When I plug my xbox controller nothing happens in control settings or anywhere)

I’m using Jerboa at the moment. On the mobile UI the «create a cross publication isn’t exactly that, it quotes the first publication and credits the lemmy link (original link is lost also). Thanks for pointing to it out anyways !

When you reply on Lemmy, it may push the thread on top of the «active» filter, so it is similar to forums. Some forums feature voting but to my knowledge none of them has a display algorithm based on votes.
