Hubi,

You also have to realize that in more than a decade, there was never a reddit alternative that has EVER hit this level of activity.

That is a very important point that doesn’t get mentioned enough. Lemmy is the largest and most active reddit alternative around. All the other sites that tried to capitalize on the API disaster have laughable numbers of users and most posts rarely have more than 10 votes or interactions.

Hubi,

The fediverse is not dying out, don’t be dramatic.

Hubi,

Have you been on reddit recently? The average discussion on Lemmy may not be super deep, but the comment sections of larger reddit threads have become downright painful to read. It honestly feels like every negative cliché about reddit has been dialed up to eleven.

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

Hubi,

Nah, I watch a lot of videos about cars and most sponsors are legitimate businesses and some that I’ve bought from before.

VPNs and apps on the other hand…

Hubi,

This one. I used to have a bunch of tabs pinned but having to restore them frequently just became a hassle, so I added them to my bookmarks.

Hubi,

Hubi,

I wouldn’t install it on my system in any case.

Hubi,

Are you sure about that?

I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.

A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they’re all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me…

Hubi,

Qbittorrent is my favorite client but there are a couple of great alternatives like Transmission or Deluge.

Hubi,

You really shouldn’t use uTorrent. There are a number of safer and better open source alternatives out there.

Hubi,

Hubi,

Heresy. It was gods will to not include networking capabilities.

Favourite FOSS Torrenting Client for Linux that has a VPN killswitch?

I’m a long-time Transmission user but I just learned that VPN killswitches are a thing (how did it take me so long!?). I would like to try another client which has this feature in case I forget to launch my VPN client before opening Transmission. Does anybody have any recommendations? Deluge? QBittorrent? Or any others?...

Hubi,

Adding to the qbittorrent recommendations: qb has Socks5 support and and supports binding traffic to a specific interface. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Hubi,

Fair enough.

Hubi,

I mean… That essentially does the same thing but it’s much more complicated than just clicking a button in the qb GUI…

Hubi,

my eyes

Hubi,

This app is great, I’ve used it for a few months. I used to hate dealing with appimages, now I don’t even think about them.

Hubi,

Active is like two days max in my experience.

Should I install Linux on my smartphone?

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) smartphone which currently has the stock Samsung Android OS installed on it. I wanted to install an Android “distro” that doesn’t spy on me, like Graphene OS, but I couldn’t find a ROM for it. Since I would probably need to compile AOSP from source code anyways, I though, why not install...

Hubi,

Word of advice: do not do this to any device that you actually depend on. Linux enthusiasm is all fine and fun, but this will kill most practical functionality of your device. I’d say try it out on a old phone you might have laying around but not on your daily driver.

Hubi,

You’ll want to use something like text-generation-webui for LLMs. Not sure if this one is supported yet though.

Hubi,

After that it became “Quintili Vare, legiones redde” real quick.

Hubi,

Stockception

Hubi,

These look like late model Stahlrohrlanzen so they were most likely made out of steel with a leather handle.

Hubi,

No teeth? Hell, I couldn’t even walk!
