Anyone have any good sources for language learning software like Rosetta Stone (or anything like it, etc.)? Where to download full versions of language lessons and such? Sorry if not allowed.

Hi folks I have been hanging around here for quite a while. I was wondering if any of you know a music player that supports auto-highlighting lyrics like monochrome.tf . I have tried strawberry and fooyin but I have not got lyrics working properly. Thanks for your suggestions ( I hope this is on-topic, if not I'd be happy to remove it)

Is anybody else having trouble with Stremio over the last few days? Everything was smooth until after the weekend. Now it will barely play anything without kicking me out or crashing - external player or not.

It seems like there is a connection error, maybe?

I will mention I did renew the real debrid subscription which seems fishy - I used to use TorrentioRD+ but it doesn't recognise my subscription so I can only use Torrentio.

Any advice would be great because the internet is kinda useless.

Edit: I went the path of least resistance and changed the API key and reinstalled TorrentioRD. That seems to have fixed the streaming problem for now and also the problem I had streaming in an external player.

Thanks for all your responses. I learned some good stuff. (Please keep responding/replying if you have other ideas as surely other people will have similar problems).

​We have Stremio for movies and TV, which works flawlessly by pulling from different sources (add-ons) including torrents into one clean UI. But when it comes to music, the options are either paying for Spotify/Tidal or dealing with clunky, manual setups.

I’ve seen apps like ViMusic or Innertune, but they are mostly just YouTube Music frontends. Soulseek is a p2p service and the usability is horrible.
I'm talking about a true, modular aggregator. That uses torrents and lossless databases.

Last week's Supreme Court decision in Cox Communications reshaped the piracy liability landscape, creating new urgency for site-blocking.

Hey, Im writing my bachelor thesis on psychological influence of reels and overall how vertical format has changed people's minds that they are now watching shit like mentioned above. Nevertheless, I need material for my study but I refuse tovpay for AI slope. Where can I get these materials for free?

Has anyone set up file-sharing, especially torrents or something similar, over reticulum (RNS)?

I'm not into networking, so I'm not sure if what I'm asking actually makes sense, but the way reticulum is described it seems like it'd essentially eliminate the need for VPNs? Or maybe the RNS-VPN effectively replaces your VPN so instead of sending your traffic to a particular trusted private server it just sends it to the reticulum network? Would this still then require access to the wider web or would local torrents work? I don't really know how torrent trackers work or what would need to be replaced or modified.

I apologize if this is a dumb question I just don't have much knowledge in this area.

Company promises countermeasures against new DRM bypasses — zero-day game releases become norm as security concerns mount over hypervisor-based bypass

My torrent client downloads files to internal SSD. When I'm low on storage (often), I remove some torrents from qbittorrent and move files to external HDD. It means I can't seed them anymore.

I want to be able to seed HDD torrents periodically. What workflow can I employ? I can think of:

  1. Use 2 different torrent clients. One with "external" torrents only. It will never be launched when external HDD is not plugged in, therefore old torrents will not be marked as "missing files" and will not require verification every now and then;

  2. Use single torrent client which can accept CLI commands to start/stop specific torrents. Before detaching external HDD I will run a script to stop all external torrents. I will resume them back again only when HDD is accessible.

Any other ideas?

Hi there, I'm trying to torrent an actual Linux ISO, but it's completely slow on aria2c and not happening at all on qbittorrent, even after downloading the qbittorrent 5.1.4 app image. I'm on CGNAT. I used to get good speeds but now it's all come to a screeching halt.

In qbittorrent, I see the fire icon, and have connections to ~304 DHT nodes, but the fire icon is still there.

Obligatory fuck my ISP...

Does this method work on Linux too?

Edit0: I'm disappointed that some people that take time to comment don't seem to take time to read the whole post. Then, perhaps, they would realize that this post is not an SSD vs. HDD discussion, that using HDDs are out of question with my current living situation and that I just wanted to vent among peers.
Edit1: While I'm not judging - I myself recently moved to my current apartment for the very sake of being able to seed nonstop - I'm disappointed at how some of the commenters don't take seeding for granted in a pirating community.

When I began building my server rig - which includes my torrenting setup - last year, I was able to find the 4TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD Samsung 870 EVO for about €300. I bought four of them, but now, I'm running out of space, so I checked a couple of retailers. Wowee. What is going on with these prices. 😂 Even Micron's Crucial brand, which at some point was the more affordable option, is way past it's curfew. 🤬

I just wanted to vent.

Since I'm one of those people who'd rather sleep in an anechoic chamber or at the very least use white noise or the likes in order to sleep, running HDDs doing random reads and writes next to my bed in my single room apartment is not a option.
