I wanted to gauge interest in Tribler. It claims to be a tor-like p2p client created by privacy researchers. Has anyone had experience with Tribler? Did you get any takedown notices? What were speeds like?
I have been using tribler for a few years. It works well, abeit a bit slower than a plain torrent program, but still very reasonable.
I see a lot of people talking about using I2P for torrents but, as far as I know, I2P cannot use torrents from outside the I2P network. In addition to this, there is a non-trivial setup and confusing interface that people need to learn, whereas Tribler acts like any other torrent program, just with onion style routing. I really like I2P, but there’s still more work to be done to attract more people and make it a truly viable alternative for most torrent needs.
It’s not super complicated, but you are unlikely to figure it out without a couple internet searches. You have to setup the router, which isn’t that difficult, and then wait to get connections. the torrent client is built into the router software, but you have to find the right I2P sites to get torrents because, as far as I know, only torrents inside the I2P network are usable. Each of these is pretty minor on its own, but adds up to a difficult experience for the average, non-enthusiast computer user.
I buy movie tickets and I also watch cams. Sometimes I watch before, because I can’t make it to the theater yet, sometimes afterwards so I can have a repeat watch. Sometimes I watch and the movie is trash, so I save money to spend on a different one. Sometimes the cam rips aren’t good enough to watch, other times, they are near DVD quality.
I have been watching cams and going to the movie theater since the 90s and I doubt that will change, but I never understand the hatred aimed at people who watch cams. Why bash on people who are enjoying something that you do not?
You sound like my buddies 10yo daughter when she hops online to play games with us. “Everything is not fair, I want it to magically change without my intervention and I don’t want to do anything about it or be told to take action or take advice that is given.”
Covering IRL advertisements is the only thing that interests me with this sort of tech. I would love to cover billboards with random memes or even just erase them. THAT would be a reason worth looking goofy as hell for.
I have Philips hue lights throughout the house. My son is green, my daughter is purple and red is both. Sometimes I’m lazy and just turn the lights on and off instead of changing the color.
I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.
I agree. I am a techie, have been following Lemmy for quite a while before the Reddit exodus. When I made my account, first I had to understand that each instance manages its own accounts and there are many instances. My initial thought was to look for one of the higher population instances, but I read that this was not necessarily the best idea. Then I searched out why its better to pick an instance outside the high population ones and that whatever instance I picked, I could view/comment/vote on posts from other instances. I don’t have a problem doing research, but I don’t know anyone who is not a techie that would continue past my first question, and that is a serious problem for adoption.
I’m interested in new distributions, but it really needs to do something new. Different default packages with a handful of custom things on top of an existing distro just doesn’t cut it. Give me a NixOS, Puppy Linux, ReactOS(I know it’s not a distro) or something else unique. I’m tired of Debian/Ubuntu based distros, if I wanted Debian or Ubuntu, I would use them.
Hmm. The McDonalds in my town had a small fire in the kitchen in 2020. It has been surrounded by “Reopening soon” signs since then. Color me sceptical.
Yes. It’s extremely common to have some device that asks you how much you want to tip before you can complete the transaction. They are nearly always placed in a spot and angled so the employees can see it too, guilting customers in to tipping.
Commission is wrapped up in the sale price, not a separate payment to the employee that I decided upon. The company takes payment and then they pay the employee. This also makes sure the employee is not getting stiffed.
I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.
Pretty much just communication and occasionally looking up some info. I save gaming and everything else for the computer. Phones are portable, but they are pretty awful for anything beyond the basics. Plus, if I’m out and about, I want to be there, not on my phone.
