  • Search lists in qbit are how most people manage.

    I personally use torrentleech which is a private tracker but has basically everything and super permissive rules. Very very easy to maintain ratio and to also get invited and started. I have 4.8TB of upload credit. Searching in qbittorrent or manually across public sites took too long for me when i usually want to find a higher res or higher bitrate version of something. I also always saturate my download speed even with only a few seeds since they’re almost always seedboxes.


  • I’m in the same boat and i rent the place. Both bedrooms are on the same breaker and I’m upgrading my GPU (215W to 415W) and might get a Mi50 as a second card in my desktop for local LLMs.

    At full power on both machines i’m already close to tripping the breaker. Witj these new card(s) i don’t think it’ll fly.

    I’ll figure something out I guess…

    I was just thinking the same thing. I was also thinking you can get a wide input voltage buck converter on amazon for cheap and use a bunch of cells in series as the UPS and the buck converter spits out 12V until it cant anymore. Then just wire up a charge controller to charge and balance your lead acid cells.

    And then there’s me where I seem to have a workspace for every topic or task, and I use GNOME scratchpads to quickly have single view apps pop in and out independant of my workspace (and so scratchpad brings the app to me, instead of dragging me to the app).

    Ive used tiling windows before and it doesn’t really help me much. I can configure workspaces with full or split windows myself and not touch them instead swapping around using workspace shortcuts.



  • It depends on the generation. Older tapes and drives are a lot cheaper, especially second hand but hold less (tapes aren’t meant to be overwritten a lot though so typically you want unused. New old stock or new).

    Most homelabbers use LTO-6 or 5, and you can also upgrade your drive and still read your old tapes (except for the newest generations iirc)

    I haven’t looked at a price comparison for years, so I’m going off pre AI numbers. It was cheaper then spinning rust back then for $/TB (for my setup it was cheaper than rust by a massive margin since I have a quarter petabyte of storage. Amortizing a tape drive over that many tapes gets cheap quickly), but maybe its different now?

    Zfs does atomic snapshots and also computes the diff between snapshots when you zfs send/receive to remote. You can set up syncoid scripts to do all of this automagically and ensure source and dest match, have regular snapshots, and to manage retention schhedules on both ends.



  • I once saw a guy standing on the edge of a bridge, about to jump. I ran over and said, “Stop! Don’t do it!”

    He said, “Why shouldn’t I? Nobody cares about me.”

    I said, “Well, do you run Linux?”

    He said, “Yes.”

    I said, “Me too! Desktop or server?”

    He said, “Server.”

    I said, “Me too! Debian-based or RPM-based?”

    He said, “Debian-based.”

    I said, “Me too! Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS?”

    He said, “Debian stable.”

    I said, “Me too! systemd or an alternative init?”

    He said, “Alternative init.”

    I said, “Me too! runit, OpenRC, or s6?”

    He said, “s6.”

    I said, “Me too! s6 with s6-rc as the service manager, or s6 with 66?”

    He said, “s6-rc.”

    I said, “Me too! s6-rc with the full supervision tree defined declaratively, or with hand-rolled run scripts?”

    He said, “Hand-rolled run scripts.”

    I said, “Die, Poettering apologist!” And I pushed him off.



  • It’s a vestigial structure from Bell Lab’s Unix documentation which prioritizes brevity and precision. It’s like mathematics on Wikipedia. It’s always written by some math nerd in terms that only fellow math graduate students will understand at a minimum.

    I guess in the case of Linux it also came about because the people using it and developing it were fluent in it, so man pages can follow a rigid structure with extreme amounts of jargon. It also made it easier to compress and transfer in the early internet days as a side effect?
