You can’t eat 1kg of apples, only .5kg before it goes bad. So you give the other .5kg away. Melsaskca also can’t eat another .5kg of potatoes, so they give them away.

Which one?

Rounded corners, the weird rainbow hue, glossy effects and css animations are like the piss filter of vibe coded websites

That looks vibe coded

The issue with “tech-leaning” people who believe AI is the future is that they’re in the “peak of mount stupid” part of the Dunning-Kruger curve. Once you get past that, you realize AI was never good at anything and it’s harmful to everyone in a million different ways. Most of lemmy’s tech-leaning people have already realized that, and are actively trying to avoid AI.

If it is a productivity boost for you, it is at the cost of someone else who will have to proofread and test everything you do. LLMs (and genAI) are useless.

I got a 16TB HDD for 300€, yesterday I looked at it and it was 800€ (apparently discounted from 1000€ lol)

Keep in mind that:

• Anonymous mode doesn’t really do anything, but it also doesn’t hurt having it on.
• Disabling DHT and PeX will make you unable to download torrents from certain platforms, like TPB, unless they are also registered in other trackers.

In addition, I’d also set it to only allow encrypted connections, which for some reason they don’t say there.

Either way, Mullvad is not a good VPN for torrenting, because it can’t do port forwarding anymore. You already know this, but you’ll have a lot of issues with low torrent availability, low speeds and a difficulty to seed.

If you already don’t mind paying for a VPN, why not look into seedboxes? They also hide your IP when torrenting, they can have port forwarding and better speeds than your VPN or home internet, they’re online 24/7 so you can seed a lot, and you can connect to them with a VPN to get the torrented files if you really want.

Additionally, you can also buy a VPN with port forwarding and bind only your torrent client to it, so that no other traffic or information is flowing through it. This works if you don’t trust any VPN offering port forwarding.

If you want an explanation on the private tracker logic: Private trackers usually have requirements to join. That way, companies can’t plant fake seeds that identify you and snitch to the ISP. They’re also relatively small, so not closely monitored. When you get a torrent from a private tracker, DHT, PeX and local peer discovery are disabled on that torrent. As long as you have encryption enabled, you’ll be relatively safe from ISP letters. However, this only applies if you’re getting your torrents only from private trackers.

Personally I think it’s absolutely batshit insane that people walk on the sidewalk with bikes, if I walk I’m doing it on the… uhm…
