If that happens to you, that’s both a great reminder that mindlessly copy-pasting commands from the internet is a terrible idea, and a chance to practice your restore-from-backup routine! I see no downsides.

Exactly what I want on my computer, an inconsistent experience due to some corporate bullshit

I like obsidian specifically because you don’t need to rely on some built-in sync tool. The files are right there and in a sane format, you can sync them however you want. I use syncthing for this at home, but the choice is yours

What is your name? What is your quest? What… is your favorite colour?

Why use a fancy GUI tool when good old dd does the trick

You can find these stations in lots of public places in Europe. They usually have some tools for basic bicycle repair too

Too bad the preprint is already on arxiv

It eludes me how people pay to ‘buy’ something that they cannot download in the first place. If I don’t have it as a file on my computer, I don’t own it. You wouldn’t pay to ‘buy’ a physical item if that meant only being able to look at it at the store, without the ability to take it home and do whatever you want with it.

Why openvpn? Last I checked wireguard has significantly better performance (plus it’s built into the kernel already)

Same, I know installing from other launchers on linux is possible using lutris, but since the steam experience is so smooth, I’ve never bothered to figure out how.

The power of munchies transcends eating disorders

Seek these nuts

Close, slugs are ‘naked snails’ and turtles are ‘shield toads’.

Do you actually have 10G switches and network cards, or is everything behind your router on 1G?

You weren’t planning to store movies on the box, were you? Do yourself a favor and set up jellyfin on your network

You got it all wrong, you just have to work out a lot and then eat all the carbs you want

Have you verified that? I would start by checking (with wireshark) for any non-wireguard traffic coming from your machine

There are small SATA backplanes that allow you to fit 3 HDDs into two 5.25" slots (or 4 HDDs in 3 slots). You can find used ones for cheap (mine was 30€), and with some cheap tower case you could get something NAS-like with hot-swap drive bays for way cheaper

They shouldn’t be able to see anything except encrypted wireguard traffic. Are you sure all torrent-related traffic is going through the VPN (e.g. requests to indexers) and that traffic stops flowing when the VPN connection drops?

Use a VPN? If you’re using containers, you can bind qbittorrent to gluetun to prevent leaks
