Its not zero-effort, but you can safely torrent without a VPN using I2P. You’d have to have an I2P router running on the backend and use something like i2psnark to connect. Out of the box, I2P won’t work, you have to adjust the config, but after that you could go VPN-less. Two things to consider though: 1. Torrents will run slower. 2. Only trackers inside the I2P network would be reachable.

Jackett I think is a better solution. There is a crazy amount of sources to search/select from and setting up the API key is just editing a file.

I don’t think Acolyte failed due to racist misogynists. I think it had to do with over saturation and a story that wasn’t that interesting. There’s around 50 Star Wars titles on Disney+ now (7 live-action shows), and its almost a burden to watch them now like how Marvel movies/shows are. And people loved Asoka enough that its getting a season 2 and it had a vocal minority complain its main characters were all women, too. But it was a well written show.

Marvel is the best example of how Disney ruins things by over-saturating. There are over 50 Marvel movies and over 30 Marvel TV shows. Most are garbage and exist solely to advertise/push the next multi-billion dollar movie. They need to slow the hell down and just make decent content.

This is the best answer. Just ask the author for a copy. They’ll often time have no problem sending it to you for free.

So what you’re saying is we need a religious themed sex game? I think I follow. You have to fight your way through the 12 apostles and then you and Jesus bang. Its like Mortal Kombat, but with sandals and a lot of baby oil.

That’s a really good mention. I’m pretty sure firejail is usig linux namespaces too. It has a flag called --net which accepts interfaces, so you could pass an existing VPN connection to it before it launches the torrent application. Probably a much cleaner way of doing it than YAML config files like I was suggesting.

Another option to preventing leaks is to run the qBittorrent application inside a namespace that only has the VPN interface passed through to it. Its basically like docker only you are just pulling the networking component out and using that. wg-netns is one tool that uses that approach to things. Might be more geared to the self-hosted community, but worth mentioning if anyone is wanting that level of security.

I’ve been an Arch user for about 15 years now, and I’ve never posted to the forums. Not because I’m great at this and don’t break things. I constantly break things and need to fix them. I don’t ask questions there because before you’ll get any help you are going to get sat down and explained (in great detail sometimes) how you are the stupidest piece of shit on Earth.

I really hated Rogue Trader at first. Skills in Pathfinder just seemed to have more visual impact, whereas RT was just stat and percentage changes. And it was hard not to exploit some of those skills. “Pogo-stick of Death” was 24 hits in one round.

But I absolutely love the WH40k novels, and it definitely played like one of the books. Owlcat doesn’t always land perfect game play, but they do know the material they work with and tell some good stories.

The AI cards prioritize compute density instead of frame rate, etc so you can’t directly compare price points between them like that without including that data. You could cluster gaming cards, though, using NVLink or the AMD Fabric thing. You aren’t going to get any where near the same performance, and you are really going to rely on quantization to make it work, but depending on your use case in self-hosting you probably don’t need a $30,000 card.

Its not a scam, but its also something you probably don’t need.

What always gets me is recommendations for what seem like weird obscure distros that I’ve never heard of.

What should I use for gaming? Well, for that you need Fizzlegit! It was released in 2025, is a derivative of a derivative of a derivative, and uses the same repos, but it has Steam preinstalled. Its totally next-gen!

Maybe something like Comparison, but you have to understand everything can be changed. So, Just because you have KDE, doesn’t mean you have to stick with Dolphin for files management, etc. Window managers are even more free form. You don’t get a file manager, or image viewer, or text editor. You get a window manager. You can use whatever you want to install though. You also have floating vs tiled windows.

You might just look through screenshots in Google Images and see what looks good to you and then install that.

That’s a fair point. Others could be installed via pacman or apt, but if the user is wanting out of the box, then that’s true. I think 6.8 does support 9070xt, but the safest and probably simplest opinion is Bazzite like you said.

👏…👏…👏…

Wayland support differs between their display managers (GDM and SDDM). Outside of that and a few other low levels things that you probably wouldn’t care about, it is mostly just flavoring.

And understand that its not a choice just between those two DEs. There are many others that you can use (ex. mate, cinnamon, etc), and even just window managers (ex. i3wm, hyprland, openbox, etc) you can mix and match with many other file managers,etc.

You got your cheeks clapped in an argument and now you’re trying to downplay it. 👏 👏 👏

No, it wasn’t chess. It was me spanking you logically, pigeon.

That is correct. You argued that a blank line counts as part of your original argument… I am playing chess with a pigeon it seems.

“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it won.”

Remember me saying you’re arguing semantics? You are now trying to argue that you wrote 4 lines not 3 because of a blank line…
