Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ @lemmy.dbzer0.com TheImpressiveX @lemmy.ml 10mo ago

I finally uploaded a whole terabyte in a single session. I'm a super seeder!

And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I'd get this far! But that electricity bill's gonna sting...

It's good to give back to the community.

EDIT: To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material...

I'm Detective John Madden with the NFL, you're under investigation.
- This seems more appropriate.
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

A Raspberry Pi with an USB drive should use no more than 20W of power, if you want to further your endeavors.
- Even the newest Pis use around 2W on idle (which seeding torrents basically is). I'd say the whole setup would be under 10W, or under 5W if the disk is 2.5".

Shit, this guys good!
- But Linux ISOs are copyrighted. The rights belong to all contributors who created them, and licensed them under terms which allow anyone to redistribute them for free.
  
  Thats far too many big words, just tell me who's dog to shoot.
  
  I thought it was copy left???
scientific research papers

When JSTOR comes knocking you are going to wish it was the MPAA instead
First of all, thank you very much for your service.

Secondly, you're crazy lmao
How does your ISP not molotov your house for this lol
- I don't know about your country, but in mine the download and upload of home connections are both unlimited
  
  I might dislike my natal country for many aspects (Mexico) but oh boy, it's unlimited home Internet connection and 0 fucks given about torrentig aren't certainly those.
- Probably because the ISP is getting paid
Good on you seeding useful stuff. Last time I had to get my ratio up on a private tracker I had to seed download 50GB and seed close to 1TB of granny porn.

I liked everyone's faces, when they asked where I got such a good ratio, that is was all granny porn lol.
All I see is a fellow ISO 8601 enjoyer (for dates). Edit: sadly not for time. Filthy AM/PM enjoyer 😅
- It always made sense to me, because when you create folders for your backups, it will always get sorted chronologically.
  
  Yes, that and for most databases as well, easy sorting shit no extra rules or frameworks to make it make sense to the computer.
Thank you for your service 🎖️
FYI, scientific research papers are more often than not copyrighted.

Thankfully sci-hub.se exists.
- Pour one out for Aaron Shwartz
- I always excitedly go to Scihub or LibGen only to find that they never have the paper I am wanting. Smh
Sorry to hear your dreams are limited.

YEAAAAAAH

I'd never imagine doing that in Egypt lol. We don't have unlimited fiber/adsl. the datacap we pay for is 250gb for about $5
Impressive. I distrohoped and lost everything
on the other end of the spectrum: I can't even do port forwarding to seed shit
The electricity bill shouldn't be that bad. Seeding torrents doesn't put a lot of load on the system. Depending on your hardware it could be pretty low power consumption. On the high end it might hit 4kwh a day.
