That’s what cheese glue sticks are for!

I noticed recently that Gramophone has a Dates tab, a list of years in increasing order that groups Songs together. So not albums exactly, but pretty cool nonetheless, it grabs a random cover for each year.

1337x is my favorite. Look for efficient encodes like HEVC or AV1 for a better quality/size ratio (and ideally AAC or opus for audio). It’s usually in the torrent name as well as the resolution, source, etc.

I so wish we could get actual wheat grains at the supermarket, possibly bio. Instead whole cereals are mostly sold as animal feed (so with fewer safety standards). It’s bs. Same goes for soy beans! They give 'em out to farmers for a lot less than a 1€/kg as animal feed, but I have to order them online? While every corner shop has tofu, soy milk, etc… come on 😅

Idk what their source was but I think you should look for cheapest “possible” to do a fair comparison (cause obviously a certain shop can have super expensive wings). Near me lowest for wings will be 3-5€/kg, canned tuna starts from 8/kg when on discount, but also has like 30% of seed or olive oil in it (so actual tuna cost to the consumer is more like 12€/kg minimum) Chicken is definitely cheaper everywhere IME.

BTW I’m talking raw chicken wings…everything pre-cooked costs more

I remember seeing a youtube vid from someone who had analyzed all products from one supermarket (after scraping their website), cheapest protein ended up being flour 😄

After all people can survive on bread, on average if I remember correctly we need just 11-13% of the calories to be protein according to WHO (or less if we are eating with a caloric surplus)… protein needs are vastly exaggerated thanks to health gurus and humans’ unhealthy love of meat.

Btw flour and bread are not all the same, especially refined has very little fiber and a little less protein (protein content is used also to determine quality of wheat)

qBitController

They are usually separate things. Cookies are produced/saved locally, to be read in the next visit (by the same website or maany websites basically forever unless you use firefox containers or at least clear them once in a while). There’s also local storage which is different but can also be used to identify you across the web. Ads, trackers, all of these categories are often made of many small components: you read a single article on a “modern” newspaper website, hundreds of connection are being made, different tiny scripts or icons or images are being downloaded (usually from different subdomains for different purposes but there’s no hard rule). It’s possible to block one thing and not another. For example I can block Google Analytics (googletagmanager) which is a tracker, but accept all of Google’s cookies.

Or lock me out when I just had an accident in the yard

I don’t use a VPN but still had to assign a port interval or something to Soulseek from the router; other software maybe picks a more sensible (lower) port number?

Oh another tip, I have set it to always create subdirectories even if it’s single files in the torrent. Makes it easier to browse the main folder alphabetically later!

Other than linking in the filesystem as Grippler said (took me a while to understand soft and hard links on linux but they’re soo useful); you can create categories with a default location (e.g. /qbt/-TV, /qbt/-Films), so you only need to pick a category when adding a torrent, and “Automatic Management mode” should save it to the right folder automagically. Also if you don’t like the names you can rename both items in the torrent list and/or their corresponding foldernames and filenames, I do all this from qbittorrent (probably doable with other software as well).

You gotta pump those numbers up 🤓 holy sheet 16TiB is actually more dl than I remembered…this is from a 2TB ssd :) in a couple of years

Most people give their real full name, phone number and email for any loyalty card wothout batting an eye, plus even with anonymized data it’s useful to the owners to track correlation of purchases, time, location. Definitively what you said too, we all make mistakes (some more than others), every needless complication of a system is a disadvantage to the customer.

Should have turned on the ThinkLight at least

Just needed to remake a Z-lib account recently (without an account you can read but not download I think), and an alias from simplelogin worked. With temp-mail services I wasnt getting the confirmation email. And I ain’t gonna use my domain for pirating, sorry :)

There are free services that allow you to create countless emails, one per site is ideal, just like one (different) password per site. Addy and Simplelogin have a generous free tier, last I checked the first one allows for unlimited receive-only addresses (when shopping it’s very rare you need to respond), the second gives you some two-way addresses.

If you get a domain, many registrars include free mail service, and have mail forwarding, or “redirecting”, which basically will allow you to create countless addresses (that can also send/respond) for your one account (You add these “email forwards”, or “Identities”, to your app of choice, like K9-Mail for android). You don’t necessarily need to buy their separate email package (although the interface might be more convenient). I’ll give you one example which includes email: OVHcloud, one of the largest clouds in europe.

If you can afford it there are all-in-one services like Soverin with easier interface.

It might be wise to start a slow process of migrating (or maybe deleting and creating again) accounts, and saving all this stuff in a password manager (like KeepassXC) if you aren’t already.

I’ve been surprised by the ease of use and stability of MX Linux, they also maintain a repo with some key packages updated, like Firefox. It’s Debian Stable with a few tricks up its sleeve.

Debian stable + flatpaks is a great combo. Sometimes I still wish some packages were more recent (not fun when yt-dlp starts breaking), sometimes I’ve been let down by their oldness in Debian Testing, and even Unstable (wanted to test Plasma 6 for instance). Overall I’m happier that there’s way more stuff in the official debian repos I would have to use AUR for otherwise.

Yep. Loads of unorganized (and some organized) files uploaded over decades via FTP 😅 a mess full of gems
