And where do you store them? Do you have a NAS? Or a big disk for backups?

Every day that passes I think more and more that I should have a local backup copy of my whole GOG games collection.

I think it’s related to the number of open connections. If you have 100+ torrents you’re going to have a lot of open connections to leeches, so your new downloads will have to wait for slots to open.

You could fix it by setting all of your seeding torrents as low priority, so your new normal-priority downloads will start.

Is there an easy way to permaseed in qBittorent?

Exactly. There’s little point in keep seeding popular torrents on public trackers (it’s a different story for private trackers though).

But if you have a rare torrent that has been difficult to complete, please please keep seeding it for as much as possible!

Wow, great. Maybe we’ll have a stable 3.0 version by 2027.

Some bugs are so old that they can drive or drink.

Some more reasons are explained here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029610/if-a-package-is-available-as-both-a-deb-and-a-snap-which-method-is-preferrable

They’re slower than a native app, and they don’t integrate as well with the rest of the system.

Thanks. I hate snaps. I’ll probably just stop using Ubuntu.

I think Bluesky can be an exception. I think it’s way better than Mastodon from a UX standpoint. And it’s still open.

Yes, I’m sadly surprised by many open source projects still posting on that cesspool

+1 for qBittorrent. I used to be a Deluge fan, but qBittorrent seems more performant and feature-packed.

PurelyMail is a great indie mail service. I love them.

Oh boy I should’ve done it a long time ago.

Also, nowadays the situation is even worse because young people don’t even know what a file is. They just open the apps.

I’d also add the tip of installing a Windows-looking window theme. People just want the classic window buttons (X for close, etc.), not some fancy icons.

I agree.

I used to love GNOME in the v 2.0 era, but after 3.0 it’s been a whole shit show.

I don’t agree. It’s just because you’re used to drive letters.

I think Linux filesystem is better organised. Everything is (almost) well organised in the right folder.

I highly suggests all Ubuntu users to use the vanilla Firefox version downloaded from Mozilla. It’s way better because it’s not a Snap package.
