nope. the ISPs track torrent downloads is by leeching off of the popular public ones, and checking if any of the peers have IPs that belong to them. not by analyzing each customer’s traffic individually.

downloading a video off youtube makes a simple HTTP download which wont trip any ISP alerts. especially since it’s a trusted domain like Youtube

for Firefox there’s now Vimium-c and Tridactyl. personally using Vimium and its been great

yea this is probably the most annoying issue i’ve had on Arch. every time there’s a new version of Python, you’ll need to reinstall some python packages, usually the AUR stuff.

perhaps not as automated as you’d like it to be, but i recently made a Bash tool for this purpose:

instead of rewriting the whole thing each time, I store a selection of “snippets” which detail a particular skill or a background, and then compile a bunch of relevant ones together into a markdown resume, which can later be processed into HTML or PDF.

even all of that hype about memory safety and borrow checker you keep hearing aside, the actual coolest thing about Rust is how it does Traits instead of classes and that you can bind arbitrary data to enums

any non public domain sheets there are paywalled if you wanna download them. Youll need librescore

sending a notification to you just in case, explanation in the neighbor comment :v

thank you! seems someone else already tagged you, but here’s the link to source just in case: https://codeberg.org/aketawi-study/rust-constellation-bgr/

The basic idea is that I spawn a bunch of nodes with rando m velocitins and check the distance between each other at every frame. If the distance is within a certain radius, draw a line.

To display it in the background I just have a script that launches it on startup, and a couple of rules in AwesomeWM and picom to make it transparent, unfocusable and borderless

all of the fancy features that other terminals provide, I get with Tmux, so any emulator for me. I like transparent themes and that’s easy to set up in Alacritty, so that’s what I usually get

rutracker is semi private, registrations are always open and no invites needed

I’ve been using Niri with Xwayland-satellite lately, and it works as a charm. it works out of the box, and you simply run it in background, and launch your X programs with DISPLAY=:0

far as I’ve heard, Mint can be iffy fhen it comes to games, mostly because they use an outdated kernel. I can also recommend something like Endeavor if the gamer in question has any knack for tech, or Nobara, which is made specifically for gaming by GloriousEgg, maintainer of ProtonGE

there is something very satisfying about running pacman -Syu at the end of the day and watching it update the repos, give you a neat list of packages to be upgraded, then see them downloading over all your threads with that little chomp chomp pacman animation, disappearing one by one, or a bunch at once, and then at the end it runs the hooks and you see that [1/23] fill up all the way to [23/23] in the span of a minute…

It’s like popping bubble wrap, but you have 8 hands and 8 bubble sheets and never try to pop the tame bubble twice

I’ve definitely seen both opinions, but mostly leaning negative in my experience. Might just be confirmation bias though lol

Basically lul

Likely cuz Brody is widely considered to be obnoxious and sensationalist, and his videos range from being only surface level to just straight up wrong

Op said thei got an old notebook, trying to run a VM on it would probably be a miserable experience. Depends on the exact model of course, but with low specs and potentially lower hardware support for VMs, its not likely to be a good solution.

dont bother correcting apostrophes as its not a grammatical mistake, simply lazy typing. well never stop doing that no matter how much yall tell us not to, cuz it simply aint all that much of a problem
