  • iknowwhatyoudownload.com is pretty unreliable. It lists some torrents downloaded from that IP and then likes to add some torrents (mostly porn in my experience). I've tested this with many connections over the years, and it's not just sharing/rotating IP addresses that triggers this.

    (My use case for iknowwhatyoudownload.com is mostly to see what public torrents other people have in their seedboxes.)

    Also, I wouldn't worry too much in Germany unless you're downloading the latest YTS release or something. There are a few horror stories out there about being sued, but they are mostly exaggerated and not recent. That said, your setup sounds very solid and you should still use a VPN.

  • I've personally encountered some hybrid torrents on public trackers. Even if you only have the v1 hash, your client fetches the information of the v2 version from compatible clients, which is pretty neat. Maybe this was done by people trying to promte v2, but it is more likely that they used qBittorrent to create thier torrent, since if you use the newest version, the default option when creating a new torrent is to create a hybrid torrent.

  • You could embed the videos via WebTorrent and simply seed the torrents from elsewhere.

    Webtorrents can simply be played in the browser, there is an example on their website.

    Better publish the torrents elsewhere, so that you have more peers. Use a VPN or a seedbox provider (those ignore DMCAs for the most part) to seed yourself.

    How dare you not overachieve for your corporate overlords!

  • Give me Gen 5 Pixelart. I'm begging you. Don't give the Unova remake to ILCA. Give it to Square. Make it look like Octopath Traveler and the Live a Live remake, please.

  • Since this seems like a preventable issue for me, I wanted to disable the Set As Desktop Background… option in Firefox.
    That was not as straightforward as I thought it would be:

    • Settings: nope
    • about:config: nope
    • userChrome.css: The Internet, and LLMs tell you yes, but actually nope

    What you have to do is create a policies.json file and put that somewhere…
    Here is the deeply buried site from Mozilla about that. There you will find where to put it and all the options.

    For this problem a short policies.json with the following content is enough:

     
        
    {
      "policies": {
        "DisableSetDesktopBackground": true
      }
    }
    
    
      

    Why did I do this in the middle of the night instead of browsing ich_iel or I dunno sleeping. Who knows…

  • 1-4 Star are shiny locked, so don't bother with them.
    5 Star Gimmighoul can be shiny, but only at 1/4103.05 and it's unaffected by the Shiny Charm.

    Outbreaks with increased shiny odds are happening at the same time: Wiglett in Paldea, Growlithe in Kitakami and Swablu in the Terarium.

  • I'm gonna suggest two animes too:

    Baccano! Non-linear storytelling, 1930s Chicago, and mostly on a train. Fantastic 12 episode anime (no need to watch the OVAs they are mostly an extended epilogue).

    Akudama Drive: Fantastic cyberpunk, action. Awesome characters. 12 Episodes long and complete.

    Note: I see OP's (closed), but I don't see them recommended often and both are only 12 episodes long and complete and extremely good.

  • This is being attributed to Jim Trotter, but I can't find a source for this claim. I can't even find when he is supposed to have said it…
    It was definitely said in Mr. Robot (2015), and it was definitely not said in the movie The Skulls (2000), no one in that entire movie ever says "bank", despite what some people on reddit claim.

    According to this blog post, the oldest tweet is from 28 Nov 2011 @Bonoboism.

    Maybe someone else can find a better source.

    Note: I'm linking only to archives, not to either reddit or xitter.
