Same, I seed for 1 month or 4x ratio. I only have one private tracker (myanonamouse for books) that requires 1x ratio or 2 weeks seeding (maybe 2x ratio?) But I have unlimited internet. I’ve been the sole seeder for music files quite a few times, and for tv shows once or twice before they get picked up by others again. No downside to over seeding since I leave my PC on for hosting my Plex instance anyway, I just rate limit my seeding if I’m trying to watch something on Plex outside of my network and it’s buffering a lot. I get a lot of files from a usenet server anyway so I’m not bogged down by a ton of torrents (have it set to 50 active torrents, don’t think I’ve ever gotten there), just the stuff not available on my usenet server

Honestly I haven’t run into any major bugs yet, but I could just be lucky. Definitely agree that the crafting orders menu sucks though

The history is the real selling point for me, idk any other game that builds a rich world of history fully randomly like they do. Can’t wait for the adventure mode release on steam

Highly recommend trying dwarf fortress if you like rimworld!
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale is coming(Today), along with voting in the Steam Awards 4 months ago:
Definitely a great game. Recently had a pretty big update adding enemies and combat that has been fun so far but you can also just disable combat mode for a chill time building your swarms/spheres

- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 7 months ago:
Personally the risk of bitwarden is outweighed by its convenience (compared to self hosted/local only solutions) in my opinion, but I know that’ll change real quick if bitwarden ever has a breach. If it does I’m jumping ship to a self hosted or local only solution, but I’m hoping that doesn’t have to happen
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 7 months ago:
Honestly, why risk duplicate passwords even then? I have one strong password that I use for accessing my password manager, and let the password manager generate unique random passwords. Even if I had an easier password that I duplicated with some small changes, I’d still use a password manager to autofill it anyway. I use bitwarden personally, you can also self host it with vaultwarden but it seemed like more trouble than it was worth imo
- Comment on Can acidic and carbonated drinks corrode aluminium bottles? 7 months ago:
The yellowish color isn’t lining, lining is only in aluminum cans because it’s cheaper and easier than using thicker aluminum and is usually clear (unless stained). The lining is what gives the cans structure, usually made of epoxy and/or bpa plastic. Without the lining, you can tear a soda can like double thick tin foil. No need for lining in a steel bottle.
The yellow/golden color on the inside of your bottle is just the metal being stained. Stainless steel isn’t really stainless, just harder to stain because the chromium in it forms its own layer of oxidation that protects from being directly touched. Best guess is that the lemon you put in your water breaks down that oxidation layer before you can drink enough, then the lemon and vitamins/minerals/coloring in the tablets stain the metal
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 7 months ago:
I haven’t had any issues with it, the quality isn’t as good as self hosted flac files (unless you want to pay for the highest tier, I assume) but it’s at least as good as Spotify imo. Big selling point initially was Plex integration though
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 7 months ago:
The only subscription service that I pay for is tidal for music (pays artists more than Spotify, same cost) and that’s only because maintaining a local library of music is too much of a pain for me right now. I may slowly build a local music library of only music I like, but I love listening to new artists so the $10 per month is worth the convenience.
YouTube? Ublock origin
Movie/tv streaming? Self hosted media library, plus some random services that are provided through my phone bill at no cost
File storage? Stored with my movies and TV on some hdds in raid
Amazon? Its not hard to find other retailers (or direct providers) with better prices and no subscription needed. Sometimes have to pay for shipping and it’s slower, but worth it - Comment on Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website 8 months ago:
Honestly, has anyone been able to find ms paint bugs? It’s extremely stable too, reliability is king

That’s not fair, solitaire didn’t have too many bugs

What I’m learning is that I’m really glad that I told myself I wouldn’t be buying it until it was on sale post-launch to see if it was even worth the sale price
- Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product? 8 months ago:
I’ve actually had zero issues with tidal since I switched a couple of months ago, it pays artists better and I think it has more artists on it. I don’t use the mobile app much though if that’s what’s buggy, I mainly use the desktop app (on Linux) and occasionally the Plex integration to listen from my tv

It wasn’t, it’s dig-n-rig. That said, I really need to redownload Starbound, it’s been a while since I’ve played it but I remember it being a lot of fun too

Another commenter got it, the game I was remembering is dig-n-rig

This is exactly it, thank you so much! The digipen must’ve been why I was thinking digiminer.
