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?...
I have an OpenWRT router with an OpenVPN client on it. I use the router's firewall rules to secure the access as needed. If I'm using the VPN, then the VPN is the only way traffic can get out, as I close the direct route via firewall.
This setup persists even after a router reboot.
To do this easily, I made a Python script that can load the OpenVPN files on the router, switch on/off the OpenVPN connection and modify the firewall accordingly.
This affects the entire network, and means I am not reliant on the torrent software or desktop VPN client playing ball.
Happy to share my script if it will be handy to you.

There is no point talking to you because you don’t realise different people find different values in different things.
Sorry, I put this through my translator but all I got out was 'i don't actually have a point to make so I'm just going to pretend I won the argument'. Is this correct?
Some people would rather their TV reflected the reality of human relationships rather than being a sanitised mockery
It's cute that you think the kinds of shows that have sex scenes are anything other than a mockery of human relationships in themselves. Do you not actually pay attention to the plots?
Okay, but what exactly does it add once you've made your point that they're banging? What additional point are you making that warrants not cutting to the next scene after that point has been established?
Lots of film and show makers don't ask these questions when they make their sex scenes so the result is boring filler.

People absolutely do care. These lost media include the origins of shows that are still relevant today. But backups weren't exactly treated with much care until relatively recently.
Our mistakes as a culture absolutely need to be preserved in order to prevent history from repeating itself long after the people making said mistakes have passed on.
Not every part of preservation should be a celebration of the past. It is as vitally important that we learn the things we did wrong as well as right.
Just do what WB did and add a slide saying that these were products of their time and that we know better today.

Audioz is widely regarded as the best place for music production software. Why do they delete posts?
For example, the following had been posted and I saved them for later, but now they’re gone, and searching for the same doesn’t result in them....
