lemmy world is hosted in Finland. the owner, ruud, is in the Netherlands

I agree, it should be global by default and changeable per account

you'll be fine when using a VPN, just make sure it doesn't leak. in qbittorent you can assign the network interface directly to the VPN.

or get a seedbox

can anyone confirm this tho? havent found anything out of the ordinary with the only 2 releases on 1337x (.to that is)

I don't get it tho, if a in your eyes good person wrote Lemmy what differences does it make? are the current devs pushing their agenda in the code or whatever? it's literally all open source

(network wise) it isn't about number of active torrents but the amount of active connections you have in total, which is very dependent on your router, isp, vpn. but usually if they aren't shit, and especially on a private tracker you'll run into other bottlenecks like bandwidth, io, or whatever

literally lol, the idea of doing a r/place every year was already really unpopular as there was little cultural change. I wonder if they're going to do anything unique compared to last time.

what's wrong with AA batteries tho? easily swappable, hot spares, rechargable, interchangable with other devices

yes, when adding the torrent in your client, save it to the same place and run a recheck. it'll see what's missing and download it

the thing with chromium being everywhere is with the illusion of choice. there's like 10 major browsers, as a end-user who doesn't really know any better they might all seem different but in reality theyrall based on chromium, with Firefox being the exception

afaik, exploit does not pass through federation. but you should change your password just in case.

it doesn't and probably cannot infect your device

wanting this as well. I would pay for Nebula in a heartbeat but they only accept credit card which is not usual in the civilized world
