Efficiency is the exact opposite of resilience, because it removes redundancy and buffers.
Because nobody wants to die. If you happen to witness a murder for the first time in your life, everyday people usually don’t start shooting at authorities. This is not Mad Max.


Corporations are psychopaths. They don’t want you to be a republican, they just want your money to become more powerful. They say whatever you want to hear to get it.


I’m slowly making peace with the thought of losing the internet as it is. Maybe it’ll become something broken you wade into from time to time, some sort of blinking, blabbering wasteland to scavenge valid, valuable information from and return to your oasis. Some people will stay trapped in there forever, but it’s useless to try to communicate with them.


Please stop asking, everyone. The answer is always Mint.


I don’t want MP3s anymore, so I usually download FLAC and convert to 192 kbps OPUS. Audiophiles might get angry but my ears don’t hear any difference and my harddrive really likes it. You can get as low as 16 kbps for audiobooks, it’s insane! :)


Your apathy and mental phlegm makes me furious. We don’t “go extinct”, billions and billions of sentient beings will suffer greatly for centuries to come because of it. More so with every bit of warming we are adding or preventing. It’s far from over, this is barely beginning. So stop this doomer bullshit and take responsibility for your life and your actions.


Do you know about LowTech Magazine’s guide to host super efficient webserver with optional image dithering?


You need to get in touch with your local Repair Café! It’s sounds like you would make a perfect addition. :)


People who joined the protest will feel empowered and less isolated. Some got to know likeminded locals and may start to connect or make plans. They look forward to the next protest.


You need to let go of the hate, it makes your life miserable. There is nothing for you at the bottom of this, just paranoia and destruction. Go meet some real people in reality, it helps.


News like this destroy our mental health without serving any purpose but to make the website some sweet ad-money. Click it, engage and soon we’ll get one news article for every recorded act of violence in the world. Congratulations, you just lost a little more faith in humanity, making your perceived reality more scary and unsafe.


It has to start somehow, somewhere. So stop complaining and do it better, or get out of the way!


Offtopic follow-up question:
How do I prevent it from aborting when I launch it through SSH and want to quit the client?


Look at the documentation on the Github-page. It looks difficult but you only need a few options and they give you examples as well.


slsk-batchdl is pretty powerful too, if you’re not afraid of a little command line


I have syncthinged my desktop (Mint as well) and my smartphone with a Raspberry Pi (DietPi!) as middledevice. If I change something on one of the two, the file gets synched to the Raspi, which then gives it to the other device as soon as it’s online. This works great since a couple of years.
Slightly provocative take:
Let it go, it doesn’t matter. The desire to hoard data is, like hoarding money, understandable but unnecessary. What do you do with all this media. You time on this planet is finite.
