I've been on LMDE for several years now and had no major issues with my 1080. But also I have no idea if I had to anything to get it started.

I knew the forced dns thing because I have a pihole, and blocking port 53 traffic not heading to my two PIs has not happened yet, despite my best efforts. Shit aint simple for me, much less regular people.

Pihole can be broken with a free vpn, or even just forced DNS on device.

Or just use a password manager like keepass where the problem of storing passwords has been solved already...

They exist, but they're not nearly as fleshed out as the bitcoin vanity generators are. https://github.com/danielewood/vanityssh-go

Try adding butt play into things. Seriously. Takes it to a whole new level.

Again, my best knowledge of navy terminology comes from halo. Rank is th e term used in the army.

Was gonna call you out for messing that up; warrant officers are officers, they just started out as enlisted men.

Then I realized we are talking navy ranks, and my best knowledge of that is from halo.

Genuinely surprised to see that rtings has not been mentioned yet. They're great at doing reviews for this sort of thing.

Their budget option is only 750 for a 75" set. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/u6-u6n

That's not how hard drives work, and doesn't take into account that OP might want to download more than one thing at a time.

Hard drives are fastest when they are moving large single files. SSDs are way better than hard drives at lots of small random reads/writes.Setting qbittorrent up so that all the random writes inherent to downloading a torrent go to a small ssd, and then moving that file over to the big hard drive with a single long writer operation is how you make both devices perform to their best.

qbittorrent moves the completed files to the assigned literally as soon as it is done.

Yeah, I use the incomplete folder location as a cache drive for my downloads as well. works quite nicely. It also keeps the incomplete ISOs out of jellyfin until they're actually ready to watch, so, bonus.

If it's not going faster for you there's probably something else that's broke.
