Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we’re all just old enough for “every 6 months” to feel like every 5 mins
To clarify, by “issues” I mean “system stoppages not precipitated by me fucking with something.” I screw up my own system way more often than that lol
I’m not familiar with ProtonVPN configuration so can’t guide you much there, presumably if the port forwarding option only allows for one setting then maybe it’s doing both TCP/UDP? I dunno…
Maybe that’s a good place for me to do some digging, but this is an issue specific to the new torrent I made. Things I download first seed just fine, and at much higher rates when I have the port open, so I think that’s working normally regardless of any TCP/UDP stuff under the hood.
can the test torrent client see that there is a seed on the torrent?
I think I misread this. No, neither client sees any peers, but when viewing the trackers within the client, the trackers are reporting peers. I’ll keep what I originally typed in the spoiler below.
Yes. Incidentally, when I opened the port on the leech client, a few other leechers joined the swarm as well, but I was only ever able to upload anything to my own test client. Even once the upload finished, neither client uploaded anything to those other leechers either. A few hours later, the count (looking from both seed and leech client) went back down to 1 seeder and 1 leecher.
Um. Just out of curiosity, I checked the peer list again, and while I’m still the only leecher, some of the trackers are now showing multiple seeders? I definitely only ever uploaded anything to myself, how is that possible?
Always good to double check, but yes, I used canyouseeme and the port is definitely open.
The port is configured through ProtonVPN. A few menu options below the one for port forwarding there’s another for configuring the connection as OpenVPN(TCP), OpenVPN(UDP), or Wireguard. I’ve had other issues in the past and Transmission’s internal port testing thing always specifies it’s testing TCP, so that’s what I had it set to with Proton. I switched Proton to UDP and am waiting a few minutes before testing it with Wireguard.
lol well with Proton’s Wireguard config it doesn’t seem like I can open a port at all, so I’ve set that back to TCP for now.
Could I be missing a step with the trackers? Do I need to upload something to them first? I looked around on opentrackr.org and didn’t see anything, plus in the client the trackers are reporting 1 seeder (me) and leechers, plus it worked when I opened the port on my test leech… I’m so lost :(
I have a similar plug in blower that works great. Can’t believe I never thought of using it to clean under furniture, thanks!
That definitely exists. GamersNexus did a review of a card from (I think it was) Yeston a few months back that was covered in waifus and emitted an Ocean™ scent
Oh thepantser posted an image of it a few comments down lol
lol sorry but you might regret marrying a straight man :(
especially after what i just said about not sharing!
you mean other than jorkin it?
Food. Good god. I’ve been right on the line between obese and overweight for most of my life, but there was a brief period like 5ish years ago where I finally dropped like 30 pounds and got myself looking the way I wanted.
Then I started living on my own, and while that’s been really good for me in a lot of ways… oh boy, I went hog wild. I’ve always enjoyed cooking and baking, but not having to worry about hijacking the kitchen (or anyone stealing the fruits of my labor!) meant I was making all kinds of cookies, brownies, babka, breads, bagels, I’ve made croissants from scratch a couple times… eventually I memorized my brownie recipe and I got into the habit of, several times a week, making a “single serve” brownie by just throwing everything into one little oven safe bowl (sorta like these) and then eating the whole damn thing.
Last week I made enough dough for 3 pizzas, so I did one basically normal, and then inspiration struck. For the second one I made a southern-style gravy and used that instead of tomato sauce, and then the last one turned into a dessert pizza. Made a chocolate sauce out of cacao powder, melted butter, sugar, and honey, and then topped it with shredded coconut. Holy fuck, so easy, so tasty, both fresh out the oven and cold out the fridge. Highly recommend. But anyway I ate all 3 pizzas in 2 days.
Surprisingly enough my weight’s actually been trending downward this month. Maybe if I’m lucky it won’t have to be such a guilty pleasure for too much longer lol
edit, I keep forgetting to take pics of the stuff I make or else I’d post about it, but at least I did take this one of the dessert pizza
The big difference is that hacky shit in Linux almost always happens because of oversights, whereas Windows actively fights you on things you want to do. This means that a solution that worked for some forum poster 10 years ago has a pretty good chance of still working today (if it’s even still necessary), whereas Microsoft would see that fix as a bug and try to “patch” it. You would never have the fuck around like this just to get your default browser to be, y’know, the default.
Not to mention trying to troubleshoot Windows always means having to browse through a half dozen forum posts of people having your exact problem, but the only replies are some IT script that takes 3 paragraphs to tell you to reinstall whatever program, with no follow up when that inevitably doesn’t work.
Yeah, isn’t aging straight up caused by degradation during replication, like oxidation or something? I feel like being immortal would necessarily imply we fixed that shit
“Ah but you see, it’s not misleading at all! You really are purchasing a temporary license to watch the content!”
Considering how much leeway we give food companies to lie about how they label their products, I have absolutely no faith we’ll correct the advertising here either
While the letters are adjacent, I don’t think that was a typo. “Finna” is pretty common slang, just a variant of “gonna”
I’ve worked repetitive, hot, boring jobs before, but I don’t know how the people working those trucks can keep their sanity with that music on repeat. I get sick enough of Christmas music in stores after hearing them like twice, and the blaring of an ice cream truck is 100x worse!
One just started coming through my neighborhood like 2 weeks ago, and there’s a kid a few houses down who seems to always be ready to run out and stop the truck. Takes easily 10+ minutes for the music to fade out. Like, I hate to be a grumpy old man, but that music drives me fucking nuts! I’m on the verge of trying to beat the kid to the truck just so I can bribe the guy to drive away as fast as possible

“Forcing” would be more accurate. “Helping” is a very pointed choice of words here, as that would imply supporting science. Maybe they could start by not promoting policies that reduce access to IVF.
I mean, you weren’t really wrong about them catching on. Usage by everyday people is vanishingly rare and it’s certainly not trending in a positive direction. They’re just… worth a lot now… for some reason.
My neighbor’s is “a series of tubes”
