Very much like the Sidewinder!

There's a silver lining because for some reason qBit updated and I lost hundreds of torrents including for private trackers. So my old workflow of managing via moving torrent locations is broken anyhow. Time to just restart, get new torrents, manage them better, and try to manually reorganize files that don't have a torrent file anymore. Thank you!!

The only game I wanted to own a console for, and that was only due to wanting to play at release. But I never got a PS5 and they're much more expensive now, have to wait again. Or get a used PS5. And no disc is a crock of shit of course.

Thank you for this comment - I have been content with just a torrent client and jellyfin for ages. All files are tossed into a television or movies folder across multiple drives, like MoviesDriveA and MoviesDriveB. It works but it's a real pain sometimes and having everything just go to a simpler torrent downloads would be a great time saver.

Would you recommend a specific model? Not sure exactly what to search or picture based on the description

Or an altoids tin, or similar

Sorry you're too stupid to choose an insult that isn't bigoted??

Being ableist is plainly wrong

Pretty fun! And there's other good web mini golf game links in the HN comments

Looks like an awesome lineup!

 

These 20+ year old cars just call out to me...

 

As in, if you were applying to delivery positions but you know they'll test for cannabis, would you even apply / interview? What about in a jurisdiction where the drug is recreationally legal?

 

However, I also ordered a new head unit and learned I'll have to take the knob off in order to get the new radio in, so I did some redundant work. Mildly frustrating to have to repeat the steps. The car front seats are also not comfortable while working on the center of the cabin. I've never been in another car with such rigid left and right sides of the seat parallel to my legs.

 

I've been struggling to get ratios over even 1.0, most are stuck in the low 0.10 - 0.20 range. I don't seed off my gaming PC 24/7 because I don't want a VPN on all the time, plus I turn it off at night.

So mainly wondering if anyone has tips on a good setup to keep the PC seeding overnight, I'm running linux mint currently. I also have a RaspPi but I understand they are not great for torrents?

Is there any good way to compartmentalize a VPN? I.e., use the VPN for qBitTorrent only, and use my regular network adapter for other stuff (games, browsers, whatever).

I've tried a seedbox in the past and they're neat, but I'd rather avoid a subscription and just use my hardware. I'm using Private Internet Access VPN until my already paid for time is up in case that's significant.

 

I play a lot of windowed games on my PC as I watch less engaging content like TV I've seen, Youtube. Lately Balatro, Peglin, a racing game called art of rally, Mini Motorways. Interested to hear other people's preferences.

I generally want something that runs well windowed because I use a third of my ultrawide to run the video, so no shooters or "big" games usually.

 

I wanted a simple way to make a fun background for my desktop, and I found it! I used the pattern generator and highly recommend messing with it and the gradient maker. Please check it out just for the UI, it's awesome. I attached the hexagon background I made.

 

Just bought an "enhanced eBook", accessible only through Yuzu (Barnes and Noble's site) and I would love to rip it to PDF and get it on libgen. Does anyone have any advice or tutorial for this?

I don't have much experience with writing scripts but I understand I could use python to screenshot and append all 800+ pages as well. Looking for how to do this if it's what I have to do.

Thanks, and happy to provide more relevant info if needed!
