catch and release
Brilliant phrase! I’m an archiver myself partly because it takes me ages to watch things, and partly because some things get returned to again and again. I could definitely do with a cull, but it’s easier to commit to more storage.
I love it, I hop to see more.
Good question. I assume it’s DHT delivering peers that aren’t in the tracker(s), or maybe a problem with the tracker(s).
The format’s “# connected (# total)” in every client I’ve seen.
Did you mean to link to right at the end? (You can remove &t=422s if not)
I’m out of the loop here, what’s this about?
Handbrake isn’t recommended any more? That’s what I’d used for my ripping. By original quality, you mean extracting the the mpeg-2 or just that Handbrake did bad transcoding?
Unless you want engagement! 90% of these comments are about the missing comma.
If you have all the original, unedited files you downloaded (this might mean multi-part rar archives) can either point your BT client at the location or move/copy them to where your client expects them.
I tend to add the torrent making sure it doesn’t start, do a manual recheck to check it’s working as expected, then start the torrent.
If you have main file(s) only e.g. .mkv but not the .nfo and there are other seeders you can do the same as above and it’ll re-download - so in my example the block that contains the .nfo along with some of the .mkv will be downloaded. I tend to copy the files over, just in case but I don’t think that’s actually ever been necessary for me.
Another option is to have the file you care about and have the SRR file to restore the files to the downloaded state - adding .nfo files but it can also put the files back into those annoying rar archives. This way you can be the only seeder without having too many extra files hanging around. These are quite rare though.
Yup, this is me with scp. Well, it would be if I didn’t just use asterisks to avoid that PITA.
I’ve stopped even seeing that - if I were describing it to someone who’d never seen the comic I don’t know if I’d remember to mention it.
I’d missed that, luckily. Or I blanked it out.
Those rules be more of a guideline though.
If you’re using Kagi, you can rewrite paywalled sites to automatically search on an archive site. Maybe searx or similar has the same functionality?
I see that the admin came back and now there’s a few admins there and all is well 👍
More an update for others, since I expect you already know!
Looks good, but this bit made me raise an eyebrow or two:
Powerful Mod Tools
This is patently false - the like of Beehaw are thinking of moving off of Lemmy because the moderation toolset’s almost non-existent and the devs don’t seem to think it’s important.
I can’t believe that there’s never been anyone that didn’t make that mistake. Probably not enough to justify keeping a counter dedicated to it though…
There are plenty of projects that take donations/payments that don’t make profit but stay afloat, normally through the team behind it paying the bills. I guess it depends what the running costs actually are, and if it’s for people or e.g. servers.
Definitely, unless the original source was very inefficiently compressed, it’s not worth the time, effort and quality loss to save a small amount of space.
I have Bitwarden, RES and uBlock Origin, plus Enhancer for Youtube.
My fix was
