I’ve been meaning to print a set of Hive

For additional content, you can accomplish ad blocking in a number of ways. The ones that immediately spring to mind:

• browser extension: most modern browsers have some extension framework available. I’ve been using ublock origin for a number of years with reasonable results
• VPN: some VPNs include ad blocking as a side benefit to their primary function. Nord doesn’t seem to block ads on all mobile apps or is at least inconsistent in my experience
• Network packet filter/PiHole: this has been on my to-do list for a while. Catches network traffic that looks like ads before it even reaches your device. Most involved and least portable

Notalawyer but I say copy everything. Strip the bones of reddit like a school of piranhas for anything useful (do credit original authors when possible). Fuck that Steve guy for hamstringing one of the most ubiquitous knowledge repositories since the Alexandria Library

Is this real life? I found boost just shortly before everything went down cuz I had reached my breaking point with promoted shit. Having it for lemmy would be awesome!

Definitely gonna have to lean on that myself as well. Already looking at a few of the big freeleech farms- I don’t have infinite space but there’s always room for a couple hundred gigs of Studio Ghibli lol

All mine were default afaik. Ended up primarily being low traffic torrents but I’ll continue to investigate to make sure there aren’t any other bottlenecks

This seems to be the thing. Thank you!

Right out the gate I want to express gratitude- over on reddit the expected response to my question would probably be something along the lines of “google it yourself” or “if you don’t already know how, you shouldn’t try to learn”. It’s nice to see that this place lives up to the label of “community” 😁

Unfortunately, wasn’t able to glean anything from the logs but your port binding stuff did prompt me to try host mode networking instead of individual bindings (previously was doing the expose ports randomly option through portainer). This didn’t have an immediate positive effect but it may have suggested that my issue is even dumber than originally anticipated- I think the files downloaded so far fit two categories that contribute to my low ratio: obscure stuff that nobody else wants and big freeleech stuff with so many seeds that nobody gets down to my box in the pile. This I confirmed by grabbing a high leech/low seed file from a public tracker and noting traffic on completion.

Upload still seems slow even with the public test so that may still need investigation but if I can find some stuff that people are actually downloading, I might still be able to pull my ratio out of the dumpster (hopefully before getting booted 🤞)

Looks good! Always nice to see a fellow 40% enjoyer. Extra props for the effort to use the mouse functions- have you also tried to use vim with it? (I want to sit down and learn that sometime)
