If you’re using QBittorrent, you can throttle upload/download speeds in the settings. I believe it wants speeds set in kibibytes (KiB) so you’ll need to convert your megabit internet speeds to your desired kibibyte limit (say maybe 50% or less of your available bandwidth).
I’ve gotten 3 or 4 separate PMs from different alts of this account (same username but different instances) over at least a month now.
This makes sense to me because why else would they keep creating the same exact account on every instance and sending the exact same message?
Same here once I ditched their junky Eddie client for Wiresock on Win10. Now I can do split tunneling and don’t have to deal with their client freezing often.
From “Nicole?”
This is someone that keeps creating new alts and spamming everyone with PMs. Someone noticed on a previous iteration where they posted a separate photo (of a buttplug) that the reflection in the photo was of an old, bald white guy. After being called out they immediately deleted the photo.
I don’t think it’s an influencer. I think it’s just a plain old scammer.
If it affects all ESP32s, the list is infinitely longer
I’d also like to hear more. I have at least a dozen of these in my house.
It is the fault of the retailers because it’s well known that things don’t always get handled with care in shipping, especially when you’re talking about automated machines and people handling millions of boxes. They’re the ones packing these items to ship and damaged items are needless waste. I buy car parts online and they manage to pack these often heavy and awkwardly shaped parts correctly so that they don’t sustain damage. Newegg could do the same with some HDDs.
I just got 5 drives from them and both orders were packed well.
I don’t know if this will be of any help, and I dont fully understand the intricacies, but I run into similar issues with my HomeAssistant setup when the certificates expire (every couple of months?). The issue is that HA doesn’t pull the new certificate without a reboot, so I typically just restart it every once in a while to ensure that it has the newest certificate.
You’re opening a port in your VPN connection so no there’s no “huge vulnerability” (even without a VPN you’re only opening a port to your torrent client) and as mentioned, you’re only seeding to people who have port forwarding set up. If more people run without it like yourself, the whole system breaks down.
Yeah, I was affected by this and had to cancel my subscription, but found that Mullvad handled it extremely well and refunded everyone who canceled due to the removal. Had they continued to allow these abuses to continue, some government somewhere would have most certainly shut them down completely, which would have benefitted no one.
I still view them as a stellar company and would happily move back in the future if they ever offered a port forwarding solution again.
I wouldn’t call them leechers since they are seeding back to build said ratio. I think it’d be more accurate to call them a single component of a larger ‘structure’ including people like myself who permaseed from home on a slower connection. If it were all people like me, we’d all be waiting days for new releases to fully download and if it were all seedboxes, we would have zero seeders for anything older than a month or two. Many private trackers incentivize long-term seeding to help control this imbalance, and I think it works well in my experience.
You complain about “binary thinking” and then go on to claim that all Beehaw users think alike?
Only because you’re seeding to people that have port forwarding active. You can’t seed to people that are running the same setup as yourself.
I think it’s that VPN providers offering port forwarding are becoming fewer and fewer.
Yeah we’re like a decade into Hulu having an “ad free” plan that includes ads. I lump them in with companies like Verizon offering “unlimited” internet with data caps.
I dunno, just more identity politics from the right, apparently.
Walmart receipt checkers infuriate me but Costco receipt checkers do not because Walmart is a predatory shithole while Costco is the opposite of that. It’s the same reason why I don’t give a shit if people steal from Walmart.
