IDK, how are we counting? Digestible calories? I don't think you are getting much energy from any amount of swords that you can fit in your stomach.

Oops, I linked the wrong one and got fooled because the most recent post is actually open again.

!opensignups@lemmy.ml is more active. (Although not bustling either)

Yeah, this is basically how it goes. It depends what country you grew up in. Canada is the same way, almost everyone who grew up in Canada can swim (not necessarily well, but able to manage). This is partly due to the number of lakes that exist near populated areas so swimming is a common passtime and boating accidents are a fairly high cause of accidental death. There are some countries where it is much more rare.

!opensignups@lemmy.world is active enough.

Yeah, public trackers definitely raise your chance of a notice by at least an order of magnitude. New content also tends to be more noisy than old content. I also found a drop by selecting "require encryption" although I can't imagine why it would help (IIUC most of these scanners just connect to everyone in the swarm, not sniff random internet traffic.

I've been using nginx forever. It works, I can do almost everything I want, even if more complex things sometimes require some contortions. I'm not sure I would pick it again if starting from scratch, but I have no problems that are worth switching for.

IIUC it isn't censored per se. Not like the web service that will retract a "bad" response. But the training data is heavily biased. And there may be some explicit training towards refusing answers to those questions.

The most likely situation is that the torrent isn't good. I would also force a recheck of the torrent to double-check that the files on your disk haven't been corrupted. But if that file is still saying "0 B" remaining (don't just look at 100% as it may be rounded) after the recheck then I would bet pretty good money on a broken torrent. If this is a public tracker it is fairly common.

However even if it is broken you may be able to play by using a different players. Different apps can skip over different forms of corruption, so you may get lucky.

Why fail when you can just do the wrong thing "successfully"?

Nice. There were a few comics that I followed on Twitter due to lack of them posting other places. But it is nice to know that if I find another account that I am actually interested in I will be able to get a feed.

If you don't need to watch Jeopardy live it is pretty readily available via torrents. Probably in better quality and without ads.

Sports are much harder to find. There are trackers but they are much harder to get into and I can't attest to the completeness (I'm not really into sports) and watching it live is probably more relevant.

It would be wasteful to upload the full size image only to throw most of it away. JPEG compression is very cheap, especially at low resolutions (I assume that image search uses a pretty low-resolution source image). Doing it this way is actually what I would do for best user experience. (Not saying that they aren't doing other malicious things, but doing the resizing on the client is actually a good idea)
