I bet this thread will be fun to read from the Lemmy instances that censor words

When Amazon thinks "sub" means "submissive" rather than "subscriber"

2/3 of the US population lives within 100 miles of the border https://www.aclu-nm.org/en/know-your-rights/know-your-rights-100-mile-border-zone

I think it should be allowed to set limited data cap OR limited/guaranteed speed, but never both

Any family members and all pets will also be removed from the premises, and they aren't allowed to have the paperclip.

Get someone who isn't a family member to shove it up their ass and stay in the house

Elaborate?

They've been using opus for probably around a decade at this point, and in fact YouTube was a pretty early adopter of it and had a large role in popularizing it

Your Lemmy instance is censoring it

I have a 5900x (zen3), and apparently I got a bit unlucky with the silicon and ended up with a CPU that's slightly unstable at its stock voltages and stock boost clock. The system would freeze and reboot randomly, and the bios would report an MCE error. This crash could be reproduced with near 100% success by doing sha1 hashing specifically for some odd reason. This is not a Linux issue, it's a hardware defect.

It may be an Asus motherboard specific thing, but I found a workaround by going to the bios settings, precision boost overdrive, and increasing the voltage scalar to like 7. Now it's been two years and I have only ever had it happen once since I changed that, so I'm happy.

It's unfortunate that the other users are ignoring your actual question... You should still be able to bind qbittorrent to the wireguard interface, and you definitely MUST do so in order to make sure you're safe (if the VPN drops, you don't want it to fall back on your normal connection). If you aren't sure what the wireguard interface is names, try running ip a before and after activating the VPN connection and compare them.

Port forwarding allows other users to connect directly to your torrent client. Without it, it's much more difficult for you to connect to other people who aren't port forwarded (though not impossible if there's a third, mutually connected client who can facilitate initiating the connection). Things will generally still work without it, but youll connect to fewer people, so it might be slower. And if you're downloading rare torrents, you might have to be patient and wait for someone else to join and facilitate the connection

@Mistral@lemmings.world what are boobs? I'm a visual learner btw

Why should I care?

Facebook may be evil but I don't think they're anywhere near "inject malware into global supply chains to push adoption of a public engineering side project that they don't directly profit from and most executives don't care about" level of evil. Is it possible? Sure anything is possible, but that is wildly beyond many many more plausible explanations and there's zero evidence leading us down this path. And why would they go through the trouble of backdooring zstd, which has a highly observed codebase, when they just successfully backdoored lzma because it didn't have a lot of maintainers?

While it's true that zstd is commonly favored for having "good" compression at blazingly fast speeds, which is useful on the web and on servers, Zstd 's max compression setting (zstd --long -19) is actually within about 5% of LZMA's but faster, so it replaces most use cases of LZMA except when that extra 5% (and that's not even constant; some inputs are even better on zstd) really does matter at all speed cost

The first 3 seem incredibly far-fetched.

• What exactly does Facebook gain from more people using zstd, other than more contributions and improvement to zstd and the ecosystem (i.e. the reason corporations are willing to open source stuff).
• Why do you consider zlma to be loved among pirates and hackers and zstd not to be, when zstd is incredibly popular and well-loved in the FOSS community and compresses about as well as lzma?
• Every person in the world uses both lzma and zstd extensively, even if indirectly without them realizing it.

I think it's likey that, of all the mainstream compression formats, lzma was the least audited (after all, it was being maintained by one overworked person). Zstd has lots of eyes on it from Google and Facebook, all of the most talented experts in the world on data compression contributing to it, and lots of contributors. Zlib has lots of forks and overall probably more attention than lzma. Bz2 is rarely used anymore. So that leaves lzma

It compresses much better, by a lot, as zlib/deflate is an ancient algorithm made back when computers only had a few megabytes of ram.

Nowadays though, zstd seems to be replacing both of them, as at max level it compresses about as well as xz while also being faster. Nevertheless, many programs link against all the common compression algorithms (xz/zlib/zstd/bz2) to support everything

It provides liblzma, an implementation of the lzma compression algorithm
