I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I’m seeding is old (10+ years) and I’m the only seed.

On a Commodore64?
Wow, that brings back memories. Slackware 3.x was my into to Linux in the '90s.
Is the +C “new”? I have a B.Sc majoring in mathematics. Now I graduated over 30 years ago and I never used much that I leaned in my degree during my career - so I couldn’t differentiate or integrate to save my life today. But, the equations at least look familiar. The +C does not.
You’re probably about my age. I was just late getting into computers. First attempt at university was dumb terminals connected to some Unix host. Failed everything and dropped out. Went back a few years later and had 8086 based PCs booting DOS off diskettes.
Took a while, but I found “me”. Slackware 3.1 was 3 or 4 boxes of floppies if I remember correctly. A full box, or more maybe, for X!
fvwm2?
That used to be my approach, but since I got symmetric 1Gb/s fibre I’ve found that if I leave it uncapped anything I download completes in a few minutes and I don’t download anything popular so I don’t have to worry about uploading too much.
Yep - I use Facebook and Instagram regularly. I spend a lot of time in both tapping on “hide this” or “show less of this” or “report and block user”, but I find it worth it for the interactions with some like minded people in hobby related groups. I’m aware of the privacy implications, but I figure I’ve been there for so long there’s not much more for them to learn about me. I use ad and tracker blocking to slow them down a little.
I’m the same. When I was recently buying some new wool socks the seller said something like “these are great - you can wear them for days without washing” and I thought that was gross - but he was right. I leave them loosely sitting on top of my boots to air overnight and they are ready for another day.
I’ve been using vim since it was just vi and I can’t even begin to think about using it on a virtual keyboard!
Oh wow - that looks interesting. I’ve been investing a bit of time recently getting into musicbrainz/listenbrainz - now I’m torn.
That was nearly 6 years ago!
Well I learned something today - I always thought PNG was lossey.
I’m fairly certain it is only anonymous “on paper”. Behind closed doors, they know where it came from and what is expected in return.
