The problem is probably unrelated to the firmware, and caused by some other upgrade.

After experiencing the issue, you should be able to switch to a different tty with ctrl-alt-f6 (or any other f key), log in, and check journalctl -b for an error message. Edit: Use the End key or shift-G to scroll to the end of the journal.

The leecher will keep trying to connect until it reaches its configured limit. So for a torrent with 10 seeders, you will certainly be connected to.

You can win over faster seeders by configuring your client to use TCP instead of UDP (µTP), and your operating system to an aggressive TCP congestion control algorithm like BBR.

If you do this you'll saturate your upload and win over every other peer using µTP or cubic/reno TCP, even if the peer is very far away.

I'm certain there's a link between artificial lighting—LED in particular—, starless skies, and the rise of flat-earthism.

downloading whole 8 seasons when I want to watch series is kinda off

You can untick every episode except the first few when you download.

You can also download a torrent sequentially and play it while it's downlading but it's fiddly.

There's no substitute for practice. Start doing these:

They have a nice difficulty progression, gentle enough to be effective but not too easy.

Every decay will result in at least one crystal defect. Alpha particles don't travel very far, so it probably cause another crystal defect nearby, and maybe a short chain reaction. I'm sure they can work around it but I don't think it will be easier to deal with than the defects due to ion migration they already have to deal with in Silicon.

A half life of 2×10^19 years still means 100 events per gram per year, 100 new defects in the chip every year.

Same, and I was too nerdy to learn in school.

What the fuck is a trick-taking game

Ordered from most to least volatile.

At this moment it's bad to be in stocks: it's a bad deal to sell the stock to buy something else, because they are relatively cheap. The flip side is that it's a good deal to accumulate stock because it's relatively cheap.

So the employer contribution should go to the index fund. Keep several months of expenses in cash or money market in case you end up unemployed during a crash.
