Its not zero-effort, but you can safely torrent without a VPN using I2P. You’d have to have an I2P router running on the backend and use something like i2psnark to connect. Out of the box, I2P won’t work, you have to adjust the config, but after that you could go VPN-less. Two things to consider though: 1. Torrents will run slower. 2. Only trackers inside the I2P network would be reachable.
Jackett I think is a better solution. There is a crazy amount of sources to search/select from and setting up the API key is just editing a file.
This is the best answer. Just ask the author for a copy. They’ll often time have no problem sending it to you for free.
That’s a really good mention. I’m pretty sure firejail is usig linux namespaces too. It has a flag called --net
which accepts interfaces, so you could pass an existing VPN connection to it before it launches the torrent application. Probably a much cleaner way of doing it than YAML config files like I was suggesting.
Another option to preventing leaks is to run the qBittorrent application inside a namespace that only has the VPN interface passed through to it. Its basically like docker only you are just pulling the networking component out and using that. wg-netns is one tool that uses that approach to things. Might be more geared to the self-hosted community, but worth mentioning if anyone is wanting that level of security.
I’ve been an Arch user for about 15 years now, and I’ve never posted to the forums. Not because I’m great at this and don’t break things. I constantly break things and need to fix them. I don’t ask questions there because before you’ll get any help you are going to get sat down and explained (in great detail sometimes) how you are the stupidest piece of shit on Earth.
What always gets me is recommendations for what seem like weird obscure distros that I’ve never heard of.
What should I use for gaming? Well, for that you need Fizzlegit! It was released in 2025, is a derivative of a derivative of a derivative, and uses the same repos, but it has Steam preinstalled. Its totally next-gen!
Maybe something like Comparison, but you have to understand everything can be changed. So, Just because you have KDE, doesn’t mean you have to stick with Dolphin for files management, etc. Window managers are even more free form. You don’t get a file manager, or image viewer, or text editor. You get a window manager. You can use whatever you want to install though. You also have floating vs tiled windows.
You might just look through screenshots in Google Images and see what looks good to you and then install that.
That’s a fair point. Others could be installed via pacman or apt, but if the user is wanting out of the box, then that’s true. I think 6.8 does support 9070xt, but the safest and probably simplest opinion is Bazzite like you said.
👏…👏…👏…
Wayland support differs between their display managers (GDM and SDDM). Outside of that and a few other low levels things that you probably wouldn’t care about, it is mostly just flavoring.
And understand that its not a choice just between those two DEs. There are many others that you can use (ex. mate, cinnamon, etc), and even just window managers (ex. i3wm, hyprland, openbox, etc) you can mix and match with many other file managers,etc.
You got your cheeks clapped in an argument and now you’re trying to downplay it. 👏 👏 👏
No, it wasn’t chess. It was me spanking you logically, pigeon.
That is correct. You argued that a blank line counts as part of your original argument… I am playing chess with a pigeon it seems.
“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it won.”
Remember me saying you’re arguing semantics? You are now trying to argue that you wrote 4 lines not 3 because of a blank line…
1… 2… 3… See, in Lemmy the comments are attached under the post. That’s how you know what a person is responding to.
I noticed some comments saying “You can’t pirate free software”. I would take that as a challenge, so here’s how to pirate Lemmy.
Firstly, “free” software is extremely rare. Lemmy isn’t free, its governed by the AGPLv3. Per the AGPLv3, if you pull the author attribution/licensing text, say “I made this” , and start distributing it out, you’ve committed copyright infringement and illegally distributed it (piracy). So, that means we CAN pirate Lemmy:
NOTE: Never let someone tell you that you can’t do something.
I didn’t skim. You only wrote 3 lines…
At this point you’re just trying to argue semantics like that will somehow make your non-points logically coherent. As for that last thing you wrote that you said you didn’t write, its verbatim from your later comment. so yeah you did say that. Literally just had to scroll up to find it, man. That wasn’t hard.
Either way, doesn’t matter. You’re just backpedaling at this point trying to say you either didn’t say something or argue that I’m wrong because your analogies don’t make sense (like I’m responsible for your bad writing). I’ve given you terms to research, I hope you do better when you try to start arguments online in the future because you did a terrible job tonight. Later.
You can use the
gparted
tool to graphically remove the partition(s) and then format them to whatever file system type you are interested in and just have those mounted as extra data drives. Or merge them into your Linux partition (depending on setup). That will require gparted to be run as sudo as you are interacting with disks.Alternatively, you can a tool like
fdisk
to change partitioning in terminal. You can pull the disk info using something likelsblk
, so if you had a specific drive it might besudo fdisk /dev/nvme0n1
, then you’d want to print the current table and look through the help.
