Aria2c works, but Qbittorrent is fucked in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] lemuria@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Okay, now that's weird. I switched to "any interface" for what to bind to instead of my Ethernet interface and that somehow made torrenting work again?

I'm pretty sure it's not ISP throttling but more some weird BitTorrent issue; how was aria2c able to saturate my connection while BitTorrent couldn't move a single byte to save its life?

Is my VPS provider going to nuke me if I dare use my VPS as my VPN, though? Ionos, if it's relevant...

Update: I was somehow able to torrent a different one with aria2c, and it went at full speed, so I'm very sure that I'm NOT being blocked by my ISP...

Aria2c works, but Qbittorrent is fucked (lemmy.ml)
 

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...

What will happen if a huge number of active, adequate people come on lemmy, for example, 1 million in 2026? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] lemuria@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Slow and sustainable growth over fast unsustainable growth that makes Lemmy bloat and explode because it couldn't expand fast enough. (Sorry for the metaphor if the wording is a bit off)

What are the pronouns they/them in your language? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Tagalog: siya. 3rd person singular.

Nandito siya. He is here. She is here. They are here.

How to direct download p#rn and such? (no torrents) in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] lemuria@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

If it doesn't work, yt-dlp -U. If it still doesn't work, I don't know what to do anymore

youtube-dl has since been superseded by yt-dlp

How long does it take for pirate copy quality to improve? (lemmy.ml)
 

I obtained a recent release (like, not even been 24 hours) and the quality is shitty. That's normal, that's expected, it's probably someone with a camera in the movie theater. However I want to ask...

How long does it usually take however for pirate versions of movies to approach anywhere near streaming service quality?

What should we do? Is blocking this guy "mean"/undeserved? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] lemuria@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

but wanted her to do it for free because he couldn’t be bothered or didn’t have the money.

People demanding free art are a staple of my olden days reading r/entitledpeople (technically it's more that i listen to a human narrate posts from there while coding). Block and move on, like what everyone else has already said.

Why are epitaphs on headstones so brief, minimal, and contain little to no biographical information about the deceased? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] lemuria@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 months ago

Last I checked it costs too much to engrave wikipedia articles into headstones.

What's the most painfully obvious thing you've seen have to be written out? (lemmy.ml)
 

Things along the range of:

"Checklist - 1. Ensure that the thing is on."

I've seen stories of people who just don't get it and need their hands held all the time, so what are things where you kinda feel that things are a bit too "hand-holdy"?

In what ways do you document your life? How often? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] lemuria@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

What's the wildest sentence you've had to write to cater to the aforementioned corporate five year olds? Like say, a painfully obvious thing that is apparently a very niche detail?

I have a personal MediaWiki installation on my computer (same software as Wikipedia). Been running it since 2022. Most recent offsite backup is from the start of December. I also have a very Wikipedia-like writing style as a result, too.

Any of my descendants, if they will ever exist, will probably have a great time going through great-grandpa's writings 🙂

The pages figure doesn't sound as impressive when you realize a lot of them are templates imported from Wikipedia lol

Hell, this month I made it into a Kiwix Zim file that I can read when away, but of course that doesn't support writing to it, so I sometimes write in a physical logbook when I'm away from my computer

What are your opinions on name changes in general? (lemmy.ml)

I personally like to minimize name changes as much as possible because usually, the current name Just Works and I don't really think it's worth it to break muscle memory or replace signage and stuff.

Marginally related; what is it with American stadiums being named after big companies? And when the naming rights expire, people just have to get used to the new name??

edit: I'm primarily focusing on organizations and places and anything that isn't a single individual person changing names, to be clear

Human em dash users, are you still afraid of being mislabeled as "AI"? (lemmy.ml)
 

Why em dashes specifically? Why is THAT what we blame on AI?

CGNAT and initial seeding (lemmy.ml)
 

If I create a new torrent, does CGNAT (carrier-grade network address translation) prevent me from being an initial seeder of that torrent? I've made test torrents before and noticed that none of them seemed to be downloadable. Seeding the test torrents on a VPS of mine with a public IP has surprisingly worked before.

I can download and upload in my torrent client just fine, so I know my ISP isn't (intentionally) blocking and firewalling torrents.

What other things have options where everything is so bad that it's a matter of "what sucks the least" rather than "what's the best"? (lemmy.ml)

How can everyone on a private tracker maintain seed ratios above 1? Is it mathematically impossible? (lemmy.ml)
 

I know that private trackers require users to maintain a good seed ratio. How exactly does that work out mathematically? If a bunch of users have seed ratios above 1, does that mean that there are some users who will forever be below 1, and thus end up getting kicked out, thus resulting in the private tracker just... shrinking over time?

[Question] Asking for recommendations regarding cold database storage (lemmy.ml)
 

I run a Clickhouse database. My usecase is 99% writes and 1% reads - I rarely query the database. Currently, the tables (excluding system logs) use 6GB of the 80GB on my Ionos VPS, with the VPS having 50GB free space total.

In the far future, when that 50GB starts to run out, are there any cheap storage services out there that support a filesystem or a database? Due to querying the data so rarely, read speed isn't that big a deal, and if the storage is on HDD, so be it.
