00:04:32<nirv>thuban, of course I'm going to seed it. I think it's an important collection.
00:05:43<nirv>I run a 24/7 seedbox in my living room. I need to get another external huge hard drive but I'm waiting for a good deal to come along.
00:13:58<nirv>thuban, my upload speed isn't as good as I'd like it. if I'm ever in the range of fiber, I will be uploading the entire internet several times a day. don't even worry about it.
00:14:22<nirv>But right now I'm 1200/42Mbps only. 42Mbps is the fastest upstream I've ever had since I first got broadband in 1998, but it still isn't that good.
00:16:27<nicolas17>I have 100/20 :D
00:16:31<nirv>ouch!
00:16:45<nicolas17>pretty sure it was 100/10 a year or two ago
00:17:21<nicolas17>uploading 100GB to IA took a while

04:03:15<nirv>LetMeByte, I won't bug you again because I'll do all the research I need, but what would you recommend for a "cheapo linux vps?" I'm familiar with Virtualbox and in fact am using it right now, but which do you suggest I install? Ubuntu?
04:05:07<nicolas17>I use DigitalOcean, $5/mo
04:05:54<nicolas17>1TB/mo bandwidth though, so may not be suitable for crazy archiving purposes :P
04:06:25<nirv>no no. I'd never pay for anything on the internet. I just mean running it on my own machines
04:07:03<nirv>there's no need. you run a PC without a monitor in the living room or in a corner somewhere and you get a RealVNC on it.
04:07:17<nirv>get a DDNS and connect remotely to it if you need. $0
04:15:29<nicolas17>seems you misunderstood "vps" then :P

11:14:04<LetMeByte>Nirv a linux vps would imply a hosted vm, but if you must do it locally then I'd recommend Debian (for ease of use), or some debian based distro with xfce. Tixati is the best client for Windows IMO, but I never saw that error. If you do things like thins I recommend getting a homeserver anyway, so you always have a seperate baremetal linux machine

12:25:04<nirv>no, I don't have windows firewall blocking programs or ports or anything in windows. i do not have an explanation. well we'll see
12:27:02<nirv>LetMeByte, yeah that's a good point. on the hdd, there are no uppercase files in the lowercase folder, but both qbittorrent and tixati show that to be the case. looking at deluge right now, it's not showing upper case files in lower case folder. interesting.
12:27:29<LetMeByte>sounds like real fun
12:28:10<LetMeByte>the problem is windows, nothing else, for tasks like this it's always best to have a linux machine at hand
12:28:51<nirv>welp. I've used linux in the past but very sparringly. looks like I'd better refresh the basics, especially with the turd windows 11 is

12:31:11<nirv>paying for anything on the internet is a violation of the code of ethics and the spirit of the internet. :D
12:31:37<nirv>I know nobody agrees with me, but I'm really stubborn on that.
12:31:38<LetMeByte>If obody paid for enyhing internet related I'd be kinda... non-existent lol
12:32:19<appledash>Are you aware that you (or at least somebody you know) is paying for your Internet connection and the electricity to run your computer? :p
12:32:31<nirv>funny. Fairlight, DEViANCE, Razor1911, RELOADED, CORE, RNS, EGO, and many others released thousands of games, apps, music, movies etc with no benefit to themselves. Same with the emulator MAME. If guys can do that, so can me.
12:32:32<LetMeByte>I can fully understand you there, trust me. I had that mindset myself, not too long ago. ok, maybe some years. >D
12:33:09<nirv>every time I think of money on the internet, I think of Lars Ulrich during the napster days
12:33:12<LetMeByte>appledash and servers tend to need some electricity. also their hardware may have costed a dime or 2 too lol
12:33:19<nirv>"Oh yeah, LARS? Download this! *honk honk*"
12:33:26<appledash>Indeed :p
12:33:36<LetMeByte>fuck Lars Ulrich lol
12:34:34<nirv>because of money, youtubers now think they own videos they upload. if you mirror their stuff, they'll try really, really hard to DMCA/copyright strike you. They don't believe in mirrors.
12:34:58<nirv>they want absolute full control of whether or not you can see their stupid video.
12:35:22<LetMeByte>nirv you see the difference, right? the people you named gave for 'free', they invested their time and effort into what the 'produced' (like the manufacturer of the software in the first place), but you only take for free. that's kinda something else
12:35:42<appledash>Well, it's less because of money and more because of the laws of the country YouTube is based in

12:36:37<nirv>I might not hacked cracked a game, but I have supplied in the past. I put things online and share a lot. I spend a lot of time mirroring things, similar to you guys, to make sure they're not lost to time. I don't expect anything in return. It's a hobby/passion
12:36:49<LetMeByte>let the youtubers have their way, if they don't have anything important to say they'll protect their shitty 'creations'. otherwise they'd be happy someone spreads the message
12:37:22<nirv>more and more emulators are appearing with paywalls. everyone has their hand out now. it really bugs me. a lot. so I will never pay for a server when I can do it myself.
12:37:32<LetMeByte>so you must've invested at least some money into that hobby, and a lot of time, too
12:37:58<nirv>i look at the internet as the wild west. very few people do anymore
12:38:24<appledash>I had that attitude too until I turned 18 and learned that food costs money :p
12:38:30<LetMeByte>I do everything from home now, but just because I can, now that I got all the necessary hardware. but without a proper server that just sucks lol
12:38:50<LetMeByte>appledash then you went on hungerstrike? :D
12:39:12<LetMeByte>nirv wait until the regulators come your way
12:39:39<appledash>I started charging for the work I do :p
12:39:52<nirv>There was one thing I bought recently. It was the Game Engine Black Book Doom ebook by Fabien Sanglard. only because he was so gracious and confident that he just gave the hi-res pdf away for free and said pay for it, or not. I respect that. https://fabiensanglard.net/gebbdoom/index.html
12:40:19<LetMeByte>appledash that's the sad way it goes, isn't it... I hate to do that, but there's not really an alternative
12:40:53<LetMeByte>nirv >buying ebooks
12:41:08<nirv>at this rate, browsers are going to be behind a paywall. it's all going down. it's all beginning to blow
12:41:43<LetMeByte>time to learn how browsers are made and code one yourself lol
12:41:45<nirv>just checking out the war in ukraine right now, 95% is either behind a paywall (news) or the videos have watermarks.

12:50:12<LetMeByte>never did lol
12:50:13<nirv>why would I pay for a firewall on my android device when firewalls are free on PC?
12:50:31<LetMeByte>oh, I did, I had spotify for some time, then I realized music streaming sucks
12:50:57<LetMeByte>because .exe on android is kinda impossible
12:51:00<nirv>oh yeah it's bad. not only for quality, but for selection. doesn't have the best versions of albums. it's good for people who don't care about stuff like that
12:51:17<LetMeByte>afwall+ is a good program, getting the upgrade is optional

12:58:56<nirv>that is the first torrent file I downloaded in 57 years that required linux to complete.
12:59:01<LetMeByte>well you might help yourself to some used server hardware to build a home server, that's a good way to thank me lol
12:59:03<nirv>57 = 18~
12:59:46<nirv>Well, I'm no experts on servers. I only run 1 computer in the corner of my living room as my seedbox and it's windows 7
12:59:50<LetMeByte>I hope it won't be the last file you'll download on linux :D
13:00:06<nirv>I used to use it for windows + CentOS for VoIP phone calling, but not anymore. now it's mostly data storage
13:01:50<LetMeByte>if you can back up the important data, I recommend to install linux on it and use it as a proper server, you'll learn a lot doing that, it will make working with many internet related things MUCH easier
13:01:59<nirv>okay now I have to consider ubuntu or debian for serving thousands of torrents.
13:02:00<LetMeByte>a friend once said windows is like a playgfround for toddlers, if you consider acid mines a playground
13:02:05<nirv>transmission maybe? I don't know.

13:03:13<LetMeByte>and don't let anyone fool you, just use arch lunix from the beginning. people mighttell you to use anything debian based, but that's not close to reality

13:03:34<LetMeByte>if you can't do anyhing else, then normal debian or devuan

13:04:37<nirv>it just blows my mind that two different windows torrent programs failed downloading a large torrent archive and linux did it flawlessly. that's unacceptable to me.
13:04:51<nirv>it makes me wonder if anyone on windows ever successfully downloaded 100% of the geocities archive
13:05:38<LetMeByte>you need to look at where the problem lies. windows (ntfs?) can't handle 2 files with the 'same' name, linux (ext) can. that's the whole difference
13:06:10<nirv>no. I was able to fix that the other day in windows believe it or not. took a powershell command, but it did work. I confirmed.
13:06:30<nirv>however, I don't think 2 files with the same name are even in any of those folders.
13:06:59<LetMeByte>maybe they finally managed to get that into ntfs (or most likely they did some dumb things in their kernel)
13:07:01<nirv>they only list that way in the torrent client, but it's false
13:08:06<LetMeByte>good thing it did eventually work
13:08:59<nirv>arch linux + transmission you're saying? if so, I will start working on it today. mainly for seeding 2000+ torrents on one machine
13:09:18<LetMeByte>arch yes, but I said nothing about transmission lol
13:09:37<LetMeByte>you may use it, if you like it. you need to test what works best for you
13:09:49<LetMeByte>tixati is only good on windows IMO
13:10:32<LetMeByte>I think rtorrent is better for seeding a lot of torrents
13:11:50<nirv>thanks. I found a forum on a private torrent site I trust. will read it. gotta go for now thanks again for your help
13:12:17<LetMeByte>no problem, happy to help
