the benefit are absolutely unrelated to privacy, use them with the idea that they’re ran by cops, the point of private trackers is the quality and availability of what’s in them, and most of the time, the quantity, you can find niche stuff uploaded 15 years ago with enough seed to clog your fiber

I have a feeling you could keep talking for hours without adding anything more than you already did, please accept my apology for not continuing to bicker about our sterile back and forth, as it won’t make either of us any more informed or happy, may your upcoming days be pleasant

Funny enough, just like you, I was bothered not by the meaning or intent but by the form, scolding someone for an arguable miss-use of a word without adding anything to the conversation in the form of a complaint rather than an advice or side-note was rude.

sure thing you pedantic wordchoice goblin

As you probably noticed, English is not my first language, I apologize for the use of the word disease instead of the appropriate description of what autism is, I have edited my comment to better reflect what your stuck-up puritan ass would prefer to read.

It is important to note that before the event of tiktok and before everyone and their peers sef-diagnosed as autistic, the term was already used semi-ironically for comedic effect on less sensible internet forums when describing any nerdy behavior, as it is in this context.

You may still deplore the use of a disease slight divergence from the societally accepted set of behaviors as a comically charged descriptor, but make sure you don’t interpret is as a serious commentary on the nature of the project, for that would be in error.

encrypting the drive mainly prevent an eventual thief from getting access to your files, including personal documents and web cookies, since system passwords does absolutely nothing against someone with access to your hard drive, and that includes paswords you may have writtend on a file that you later deleted, where as if you encrypted your drive, there is nothing you have to worry about but to buy another computer if it is stolen

when you choose the partitions you want, there is a little checkbox asking you if you want to encrypt your hard drive

What are the specs of your machine and how do you launch the games ?

depending ing on your graphics card, it may not support vulkan

If you are not already, try to use lutris, that way you will be able to chose which version of whine and dxvk you are using and get a bit more info on what is happening with your system, I frequently run game from gog on it and they run fine

kobo’s have such a high res display i’m usually inclined to run all pages though waifu2x and then downsize them to the exact res of the display to get maximum sharpness, otherwise it’s either slightly blurry because the source was too small or it’s slow in page turning because the pages were too big, that and changing the contrast of the pages so that the darkest color is black and the lightest white, also gets rid of jpeg noise

ah, never really needed since I read mostly manga, I just convert all the pages to the right resolution and put them in a cbz

do you get any benefits from using callibre instead of just copying the files in a folder ? I used to do it but found it way more convenient to just copy them directly since callibre doesn’t create collections

you’ll be fine unless to share the drive, which makes me think, is there any ereader related communities around ?

DirectDownLoad, is used to describe sites that offer download links without needing special software or protocols, might require lots of clicking through ads and downloading big files in multiple parts on different sites, since file hosts usually give a size limit to the files, think megaupload back in the day, you often hear the term warez for those too
