It's useful for security researchers to collect and analyze what the newest attack bots are trying to do, in order to learn how to defend against it and study the malware they drop. There are some cool videos on YouTube about decompiling malware dropped by the bots.

I already force Wayland global for SDL games because the xwayland one has a horrible stutter while the native Wayland works flawlessly. Making it the default sounds reasonable to me. If specific programs don't work with it, they can override it

For this in particular, look into setting up NetworkManager to do the openvpn configuration, it has that functionality built in. Otherwise, systemd unit file

Ratios that extreme would probably only be seen in cases where the source video was really poorly compressed anyway, which is what the commenter probably experienced. I've had that happen before too. Expect more like half the size compared to H264, which is still pretty good

At its highest compression setting (zstd -T0 -19 --long), it's about the same as lzma in compression ratio (varies a bit from file to file though), but slightly faster to compress, and much much faster to decompress. Decompression speed is not significantly affected by the compression setting (though compression speed is) and is usually at least a few hundred MiB/s to 1G+

Distrowatch has a torrent RSS that can be added to qbittorrent to automatically fetch new releases https://distrowatch.com/news/torrents.xml

It also might appear lower due to people using vpns for for torrenting on residential networks

It's the spectral emissions lines

They're seen as "victims" by many people

Are they attempting to listen on the same port, so one of them is failing to? Try setting a different port number for the two

You're thinking of partuuid, regular uuids are part of the filesystem and made at mkfs time

That one hasn't been around for a long time, since the Linux kernel started using a SCSI abstraction layer above many of the other storage protocols.
