What is the benefit to joining private torrents? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

they are properly moderated so no fake torrents or malware (and anyone trying to upload those is immediately banned)
many have rules about formats, nfo files - another guarantee that your file is what it says it is
duplicates are not usually allowed - eg if an album already exists in FLAC format, you can’t upload another one
ratio requirements mean people almost always seed, and many use seed boxes which means speed is much faster. Movies download to my seed box in a couple of seconds typically.

What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution? in c/[email protected]

Started on Mint properly in about 2019, but hopped around a little via Manjaro, Garuda, Endeavour and finally came back to Mint full time. These days if I want to try another distro I just install on a separate disk and leave my Mint as my every day install. So full time on Mint since about 2021.

I have been trying Fedora as my secondary too.
