If it’s too good to be true, it’s malware

If it isn’t released yet, it is malware

If it is an .iso file but not a Linux distribution, it is malware

What infuriates me with malware, which idgaf because “arch btw”, is that I reseed that shit unknowingly. Sometimes a lot.

Always check file before you let it seed forever as you should.

You can must do that in qBittorrent. Also, that has nothing to do with downloading malware, while being a good recommendation if your ISP reports torrenting to the copyright owner (like orange in France)

I don’t use them, I don’t know. Aren’t they supposed to buy content themselves and just be a kind of reseller?

Today’s arch experience : upgraded after 6 months or so. Yeah, had to upgrade signatures first, had to remove manually conflicted stuff, and that’s it. Works, as ever.

Now yesterday I tried installing stremio on my wife’s ubuntu. Gosh wtf, how do they expect any normal consumer going through gît and stack’ just to install that piece of crap.

Stremio, for the “illegal” part of it, is just torrenting without sharing. It’s awfully convenient, but you’re ditching the very point of torrents with it.

AFAIK, the only limitations by using it as a guest is the inability to save movies… Which is extra stupid since you are torrenting them, but hey, it’s free so you are the product.

If what you are looking for is a nice interface to all your content, Kodi is the OG here.

Voyager app shows age of accounts if new, in bright yellow. So when I notice someone new interacting like an articulate human being, I am extra nice to them, and if not, I vigorously ignore it and move on.

By spinning headless server machines, you’d probably run way more of them. And the process of allocating ressource, transferring image and spinning it will probably be much faster.

Tell us how it goes!

Ubuntu Studio is an excellent choice to get you started busy doing your things. It’s a work of love, from passionate people, going at it for many years now.

The only drawback is that the bundle is overstuffed, for my use case there’s just too much stuff in there lol (sound eng)

Enjoy yourself, test your creativity against the available tools, and make stuff. That’s the important part: making!

The ethical pirate would rip them and make them available as torrents. Out of 500, there’s probably a lot that is unfindable.

Start with your favorites, go as far as you (and your bandwidth) can.

Yeah, tho I’m doing the opposite : Asahi on a macbook pro. Works great while indeed hurting conviction.

So a 12.5 screen, 12Ah battery, 2kg laptop with only USB A ports available in 6 months for a starting price of 1550€ - Please excuse the slight irregularity in my eyebrow line here.

Sure hope those are the 0.5L ones

My Debian is the best for my work laptop
My Arch is the best for my private laptop
My Asahi is the best so that I don’t have to deal with f*cling macos crap

Just cosmetic : wobbly windows & spinning cube

Shows my age I guess

Arch Linux on Dell 7389 : just works. Also had OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on this machine, best installer ever.

Debian on Thinkpad X390 Yoga : with included variable-pressure pen, the touchscreen is actually a wacom tablet, perfect. Also, one if the best installer there is.

Ubuntu on Thinkpad T480s : just works. Installing Ubuntu today is literally just a couple of clicks. Wife hasn’t complained in 3 years, this distro must be doing it right.

(Everything Gnome here, no additional setup whatsoever. The KDE gang will argue that Plasma has a lot of goodies for touchscreens, be sure to check it out)

And redhat. But only in Europe.

Currently in France No OS is -€60 and with Fedora or Ubuntu it’s -€30

Don’t ask. Different markets, pricing irrelevant to actual costs
