  • 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

  • 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)

  • Tagalog: siya. 3rd person singular.

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

  • 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  • youtube-dl has since been superseded by yt-dlp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?

  • 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.

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

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    What's the most painfully obvious thing you've seen have to be written out?

  • 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

  • never been to the Rumble Quarantine Zone but I would put on a hazmat suit first if I were you

  • OpenTTD (2004), which traces its roots to Chris Sawyer's Transport Tycoon and Transport Tycoon Deluxe (1994)

    And there's a community of players who have modded the everloving fuck out of the game and the engine itself, one of these patch packs is OpenTTD JGR and we play it like it's a model railway simulator

  • I've seen people call it GQ: new name, but the same great two-letter brevity of PE

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

    • the original post
  • we either put it in virustotal, spin up a VM, and run the thing without network access, and just hope for the best

  • welcome

  • I can definitely see a Derry/Londonderry situation forming regarding the city's name. I prefer the name Port Elizabeth though, I have a thing for feminine given names and linguistics. Oh, and that linguistics obsession of mine has granted me the ability to do the Gq-click. And I'm not even South African!

    And my brain is still obsessed with trying to ask as many South Africans as possible about the city's name so.. thank you for the answer, haha

  • Speaking of South Africa, what do people in the Eastern Cape call that large city? You know... that city that got renamed? (If you still don't get it, I'm referring to Port Elizabeth)
