It'll happen some day. There will eventually be "Illegal" wireless transmitting devices that do things such as transmit data over disallowed frequencies, break the token rate speed limit imposed by the fcc (fuck 56k) and illegally use encryption (using data encryption on amateur radio is illegal). When they do start becoming a thing, they'll be able to transmit data maybe a few miles at up to a megabyte per second (not 1 megabit), or for dozens of miles at a few kilobytes per second. Depending on whether the designers wanted to prioritize speed or distance.

The technology exists to make such wireless transceivers using off the shelf parts available to normal people, there's just no reason for them to exist. Yet.

llamacpp. Remember to modify the launch script to use multiple cores. Go to hugging face io and look for GGUF compatible models.

I fucking hate seo abusers. I have to use a locally hosted ai for a lot of my "googling" because modern day search results are fucking worthless now.

Instead of playing factorio 2.0 for 24 hours a day, I'll have to find a way to play it for 48 hours a day. The. Factory. Must. Grow.

Fuck reddit. I always read through the posts on here, I just don't comment if I have nothing to add.

It won't be long now before all Microsoft products need a monthly fee. Now people will actually have to switch to Linux due to cost instead of switching to Linux just because they want to.

I swear to fuck, in 2030 we're going to be spinning our own homebrew crts. 640x480 is better than ads.

To the average person, putting that much thought and effort into it is for elite hackers only. I know a guy that does cybersecurity and still has smart everything in his house.

I am trying to use wifi for "everything". I know it's bad but there is no honest to goodness way I can get ethernet to anything except the router and modem. It's complicated. Even a 60hz ac to ethernet wall plug transceiver has to go through enough breakers and stuff it's not worth trying.

I forgot which exact router I have but it's basically the highest end Cisco home router that works with dd wrt. It usually costs $300 on amazon. My internet connection is dsl but I'm not trying to get higher internet speeds, just higher lan speeds.

If my low effort network setup only yields me a maximum of 7mbytes/sec I'm fine with it I just want to be able to get more than 1 meg per second on the one system that needs it the most.

Is jellyfin good? Several years ago I wrote a very basic php search system and then made another php script to generate a clickable list of every video file in a directory. These 2 put together makes a better than nothing media server that I can use with confidence knowing it's probably really secure and not sending any data to anyone on the internet.

My setups lan transfer speed is slow all the time for reasons beyond my understanding so I have to find a way to fix that first before I can think about changing my media server software anyway. My 1mb/s download/1.2mb/s upload speed on my server and 4-7mb/s for each other pc is good enough to watch some stuff but it really sucks that after overhead and performance losses, that's all that's left of my 400mbits/sec wifi connection. I barely even use it and don't have any non Linux pcs on my network so it's not like it's slow due to actual traffic. Router and wifi card manufacturers are scamming us all. Divide any advertizered wireless network speed by 64 and that's the maximum you can expect in my experience.

Still cheaper than prescription medication

 

I need to pirate this book thats over 1000 pages. I already have the pdf but I really want a physical copy and the book costs too much for me. Even if I have to buy a bunch of ink (the book has no pictures) and even if I wear out the printhead before the job is done, it's still going to be cheaper to do this. My printer has been blocked from the internet since before the pandemic so I can install all the 3rd party ink and replacement parts I want. I'm not worried about my printer situation.

It seems the biggest challenge I need to overcome is the paper. Cheap printer paper is going to otherwise work it's just that it's too thick. The same amount of cheap printer paper it takes to make the book is going to be more than twice as thick as the book I'm trying to "pirate".

The 8.5x11in size just happens to be the exact size I need for this. Whats the cheapest paper I can get that's still thinner than cheapo office printer paper?

 

How can I ensure that qbitorrent is actually seeding? I have this torrent with triple digit peers, barely any seeds and it's seeding at 0 byes / second. It says I've uploaded a lot but nowhere near a 1:1 ratio for this torrent.

I'm trying to be a considerate pirate. What settings do I change to make it seed more?
