The registry and minors being added to it is the topic of the OP and every comment that follows. Your supposed ignorance of the concept was exhausted as an excuse already.

That's an answer I don't have. I would just focus on grabbing what has the fewest copies for the snap-shot in time when I am downloading the files. Other archivers will grab what needs more copies at the time they download, just as you and I are basing our downloads of what has the fewest existing copies weighed against what others have seeded before us.

Its a churn of archivers "rotating" the content we each choose to preserve(almost entirely without regard for WHAT the specific content is).

If enough people were too active about deleting what they've downloaded that has "enough" copies and replacing it with content that doesn't ... okay, that's unlikely, but we still need more seeders in general, and those of us who keep on seeding that which we've already downloaded make the decision of what needs more copies seeded in the future easier to make for new archivists and/or those who have invested in more capacity.

So much less clickbait and spam on Lemmy/kbin*, and what there is gets called out quickly. On reddit, I would open dozens of tabs a day, hoping for 5 or so articles worth reading and/or relavent comment threads.

Here, sorting through the cruft is much easier, and I end almost every day with zero new tabs left open, because I'm actually reading what I open without exhausting my attention-span or patience for bullshit.

*Although I sort by new and look only at my subbed feed, I am following hundreds of communities. As I picked a Dutch instance, following a few Machinist communities that migrated here, Local is a grab-bag of a few niche things I like, things I can't read, and/or news that is mostly irrelavent to me to the point I have no context or frame-of-reference for it.

Honestly, I prefer this. I never meant to let reddit content grab as much of my time and attention as it had over the years.

Honestly? Maybe try shifting what hedonism looks like for you. Eating out, camp fires, hanging out at the bar just eating and people-watching(nevermind intermittently becoming absorbed in the garbage that's usually on the TVs), ...

... and of course a bit of drinking(a buzz is better than a blackout, and taking two or three hours with some appetizers and soda to sober up is better than having to spend money on an Uber - things that bring your further joy, as opposed to staring out a stranger's car window or trying to sleep on the ride).

Find your own arbitrary minutia. Stupid stuff, like keeping that night's drinks budget to around what the Uber home(or food & caffeine) costs. Tip the strippers only in what you're comfortable parting with in $5 bills, $10s or $20s(blows my mind there's still assholes tipping in ones, nevermind the majority of club-goers doing it).

Find amusement in making up your own little rules to keep your budget it line, yourself out of jail, and even verbally talk up your own ego. Think of it less in terms of reigning yourself in, and more, "I deserve better than to lose it all in one night". Build up your confidence, and build up a friend-group that apprecieates you just enjoying yourself with even half-assed restraint going on.

Helps to learn to intermittently splurge on others, yes, even the bar-flies and other drunks - espeacially when there's nothing in it for you but the amusement at how fake and happy they get over a free drink. Let the people who start the night with an Uber and/or even pre-gaming provide the antics, the stories that make you chuckle and shake your head later.

Note: I'm cheaper than all this(except the stripper thing, once in a few years or so) - half of it is me trying to put into words how my gay best friend conducts himself, and what I get out of hanging out at the bar with him every few months. Neither of us are actually interested in sleeping with the bar-flies or strippers, so apologies if that doesn't work for you. Find what does.

You're misunderstanding/misrepresenting the historical/societal role of shame. Its not just a personal feeling to be felt, or more likely feigned, nor is it something one person is capable of imparting to another who is not already inclined towards it.

One's elders do not wait for friends and family to leave the room before calling out shamefull acts, nor would doing so serve any purpose.

.... aaannd of course, my favorite one of the set turns out to have two belly-buttons, as well as potentially two waist-lines and/or pelvises. Not attracted to those things, I just like a lady in repose.

"Make those parts pluggable/replaceable which would be a good design anyways".

Following best practices = Morally Wrong?
Sure, fren, whatever you say.

The only reason OP might not have done it this way in the first place would have been to save the company worrying about licensing, or getting shitty with OP about not using enough orignal/proprietary code to ensure lock-in with future clients ... is THAT somehow morally superior in your book?

You can easilly select those files from a given torrent which you would like to download and seed.

Yes. When downloading the torrent, go to the files list for that torrent and un-check boxes. Resist the urge to leave only the first files in the list(as most people will do this leaving few-if-anyone seeding the rest), **and try instead to grab files from the middle or end, or just be random about it.

When the torrent finishes downloading the files you've selected, it will automatically seed those portions of the torrent which you have downloaded.

EDIT: I just remembered, some torrent programs will actually show you the seed ratio per file in the torrent. There are reasons hardly anyone is (sincerely) trying to reinvent this wheel.

Bodyguard is an on-going expense, and several times more expensive than a hitman, just for the first year.

Not weighing in on the ethics, just the expense. Its been mentioned in other comments that moving is probably the cheapest option, and I don't disagree.

Needs re-done on a per-capita basis.

Technically, I've done as you've described several times over. Did it with IOS and Android - I approached both with an open wallet and open to doing things differently than I was used to. Could say the same for several gaming consoles and Chrome. ALL have required concessions on my part that left a bad taste in my mouth - speaking strictly from a User Experience perspective.

The worst of it has been all the apps that dissappeared from the IOS Appstore - apps I paid for and now all that's available are pale imitations full of ads and demanding subscriptions.

I'm not asking the same apps to work across multiple decades either - the gap between my first iPad and my second was less than eight years.
