    This. Recently I took a deep dive into the controversies from both sides. It is a little difficult to piece things together because most of Linus’ more detailed replies came from old WAN shows, but I can say with certainty now that it’s incompetence and miscommunication.

    If anything, my opinion on Linus stayed about the same and my opinion on GN went way down. After a certain point I couldn’t help but feel that either Steve just really hates Linus, or he was trying to drag his reputation enough for GN to snatch a larger piece of the tech YouTube pie. Neither are a good look.


  • This is my biggest issue with One Piece, or any form of extended media like this. It’s not that I won’t like it, but how much unique media am I giving up to watch it? It’s the same vibe I got when I was really into an MMO. Love the game, one of my favorites of all time even. But I’m much happier broadening my horizons and playing a unique experience every month or so opposed to the same game for a year straight.



  • Yeah in this context the port forwarding allows you to discover more clients in the P2P network. It’s by no means a requirement. Personally, I use MullvadVPN which does not support port forwarding, but I watch a lot of niche content that will have maybe one seeder at a time. I often wonder if there are peers I’m missing without port forwarding.

    Also AFAIK Proton only blocks torrenting on their free plan servers, so the paid option may still be a good avenue. I think blocking torrenting on free servers is an industry standard for VPN. Is your priority affordability? It took me a long time to come around to paying for a VPN, as I hate subscription based models, but it has been well worth it.

    Have you heard of or considered seedboxes? If your only use of the VPN would be for torrenting, these might be a better choice for you.

    Poor baby. Just this week I saw someone hit a cat in front of me and keep driving. I pulled over and tried to save it but he passed away before I got him in the car after he cut up my leg in confusion. No microchip so I gave him a proper, respectful burial. Then I came inside and let all my babies know how important they are to me.

    A good modern oled can get you within ~2ms difference from a CRT depending on how you measure. But the catch is the TV needs to have a low latency or “game” mode that shuts off the on-board video processing. My best recommendation is to browse TVs that are oled (not qled) in your price range, and check the listing for low latency or gaming modes. You should find something that fits the bill pretty quickly.
