What did they say?

Mid-hundreds. idk, way higher than I was getting for forgetting to delete random game of thrones episodes

I am keeping some torrents alive and have mad seed ratios on some of them. If it goes under five seeds and I’ve downloaded it.

To OP, the more seeds a torrent has, the easier it is for everyone to download it, and the less each seeder has to contribute. Think of it as a sort of giving back to the community.

Obviously, the latest episode of popular TV show doesn’t need your help, but obscure bits of media can actually die out. Or stuck at the same 40% for months.

Since the files are just kept on everyone’s computer, if no one has that file while online, no one can download it. No central file repository.

Read the instructions, but also sometimes windows defender or whatever helpfully deletes suspicious files that you need.

Unrelated program, but cracking solidworks required removing every trace of the student copy I had installed (well, registries and program files at least)

I’ve had quite a few people say I’ve been brainwashed by Chinese or soviet propaganda, a thing I do not encounter often, and then slowly explain the most bog standard white Australian nationalist narrative to me. I wish I was better at confrontational social situations

I hop on to TOR, but it’s pretty much the only thing I go onto TOR for. I got some soviet industrial manuals

I have to ration disk space and internet here is typically not amazing

I actually had a decent amount of fun with this one.

For me, it was binging all of House and Stargate

Having no money and deciding that shouldn’t stand between me and media I wouldn’t pay for anyway. Also my local college’s DC++ network, where someone had about 20 TB back in 2006 (which was a bit of a culture shock after having been banned from watching most TV during childhood).

I remember I downloaded the FFG Rogue Trader in 2008, and it was just Twilight with the troll face watermarked on each page. That was a long road trip.

But also yes

I wonder if I can set up an image AI that only takes images from big company copyrights (with some weighting), also advertising

Now she is a queen, as dark and beautiful as the night

It only gets corrupted by state department interests if it gets popular, so we must work to make it less popular! (edit: I hope its obvious this is a joke)

I imagine for security best practices, software prefers update on open (if not update on checking a central update server regularly like yum -whatever update), but for user convenience this would be better for so many things.

Doesn’t quite vibe with the post, but with the title: More industrial software and operators manuals and stuff. I’m honestly having a hell of a time finding them.

I use the numpad quite a bit when entering lots of numbers with one hand. Comes up a bit in drafting, some data entry… Some video games.

This thread has made me curious though. That said I am very attached to my 15 year old logitech keyboard. Done some soldering, cleaned a lot of beer out

Thanks! My brief adventures into the TAFE library and my university’s library’s website searches were unsuccessful!

I’ll keep it in mind. It’s so weird how gated it is
