They both got silver if I’m not mistaken

The economy on MAM is mostly points based and you’ll generally get very little organic upload. You only need to download some freeleach stuff (or use freeleach tokens) until you’re getting enough bonus points hourly to meet your needs. Upload credit is actually very cheap to buy with points and VIP status isn’t that expensive either. Plus the community generally donates a ton of points to all new users - even more so if you’re at all active on the shoutbox.

If you don’t want to donate 5$ to the website you need to wait 4 weeks before you’re eligible for VIP, and a lot of content is locked behind VIP. Fortunately though after the 4 week waiting period its very easy to keep VIP all the time. Even easier if you don’t want to keep VIP all the time and only need it once or occasionally to download specific content. All VIP content is freeleach to VIPs and locked to VIPs only. This incentivises people to be longstanding active members of the community and not hit and run after grabbing one or two books they were looking for.

You can interview for MyAnonaMouse on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

IPT admins will ban literally anyone for literally any reason, then tell you they’ll reinstate your account if you donate. This is their business model and they’ve been doing it for many many years. Aside from predatory donation fishing, there’s a ton of very low quality content on IPT. The kind of stuff that would be banned on any respectable private tracker.

I’m planning on getting some recertified Seagate Ironwolfs from SeverPartDeals very soon

GPLs “restrictions” are freedom preserving though. It only restricts developers from keeping dirivitive code proprietary. In order to violate the GPL you’d have to choose to use GPL code and then choose not to release your modified versions of it under a similar copyleft license. It may seem counterintuitive, but having those restrictions results in more software freedom overall - similar to the paradox of intolerance.

I’m not saying MIT or so called permissive licenses are bad, but the permissive/restrictive language is just as loaded as the OPs suggestions. Both styles are needed, but copyleft licenses are better at promoting software freedom.

Edit: I do agree with you that LGPL serves an important role in promoting free/libre software where it would otherwise would never be used.

Edited my kernal parameters to prevent my CPU from going into a low power state that had been causing crashes for years apparently.

Edit: if you use 1st gen ryzen and have been putting up with intermittent crashes thinking it was your shitty old used GPU like me, try disabling c-state 6.

Why would you not be able to access the filesystem of a device you own and are in possession of? Is this some kind of walled-garden thing I’m too Apple-free to understand?

Um… Its not ironic at all? Mozilla has been active and well regarded in privacy oriented spaces for many years.

Well since nobody can name a tracker with any AV1 content, I will for anyone finding this post in the future.

As mentioned in the OP, LST.gg has an uploader, KIMJI, who encodes western cartoons, TV, and movies in 1080p AV1. I personally love the quality and file size of his encodes. There’s some other AV1 content there as well. Several WhiskeyJack encodes have been uploaded, although I don’t know where they originate.

I really wish I knew where to find anime in AV1 still.

I love KIMJI encodes.

Yea I’ve heard that grain synthesis can be tough to get right with AV1. I’ve seen people (that know much more than me) talk about ways to make it better though.

I think Av1an gets better results.

I do think that’s why people like it more for cartoons and anime.

Any release groups you see consistently?

I’m well aware of the tradeoffs. Besides, encodes of remuxes and full disks can easily be better quality than web-dls, and with av1 or HEVC can be smaller file size too.

How would you get through the install though? Are there any simple solutions without any graphics output?

What if I’ve never built a headless system and am afraid of not having easy access to a GUI?

MAM is a private torrent tracker with tons of ebooks. They definitely have a lot of magazines, but maybe not the most expansive collection around. They do interviews to join regularly.
