Yeah I'm just downloading random data for fun in little tiny bits. If that data happens to arrange itself in the form of the latest episode of Doctor Who then that's not my problem.

Well they do nickname it disk destroyer, so if it was unlimited and someone messed it up, it could delete the entire simulation that we live in. So its for our own good really.

I can't imagine how nerve-wracking it would be to run dd on something like that lol. I still don't trust myself to copy a USB stick with my unimportant bullshit on it with dd, let alone a server with anything important on it!

Oh yeah I worked in animation for a bit too. Those 4K master files are no joke lol

Yeah it's kind of wild how fast (and stable) rsync is, especially when you grew up with the extremely temperamental Windows copying thing, which I've seen fuck up a 50mb transfer before.

The biggest one I've done in one shot with rsync was only about 1tb, but I was braced for it to take half a day and cause all sorts of trouble. But no, it just sent it across perfectly first time, way faster than I was expecting.

Oh yeah I'm not saying it has to be an absolute priority, just something I'd like to see get worked on at some point.

I'd like to see a proper full redesign of the KDE settings one day TBH. I can't quite put my finger on why, but the settings always feel kind of weird and counterintuitive to me.

I use Mullvad personally, but probably any of the major ones would do the trick.

I do! And I set QBittorrent to only run through the VPN connection 👍

Grayjay works well for me too.
