Hi all.

I am using transmission as well, no issues with recent torrents, but trying to download something older and despite showing around 40 seeders available, when added to transmission I am seeing 0 out of 6 peers and reading in the inspector it says: you want to download but peer does not want to send (interested and chocked) What does it mean?

And under some peers it says: you unchocked the peer but peer is not interested?

I'm having trouble getting a couple of my private site torrents, Torrentday, to seed correctly so I'm not just leeching so I can get credit. and I have never known what those squares with lines mean, anyone know? This is Tixati.

Not much detail on the mullvad site, but it seems to suggest that the app is only for debian, ubuntu, and fedora?

One of my concerns is due to me currently being with proton, who only support debian gnome, ubuntu gnome, and fedora gnome. As soon as you wander away from those 3, you get no, or very limited support, so kubuntu, mint, fedora kde etc, let alone something like nobara, mx, pop etc, or cachy, endeavour, manjaro etc can be problematic

The mullvad site seems very under done, their FAQ is only 5 questions

Has it been like this for a while, is there any sign that mullvad are putting effort into this area?

I know there are other ways, but paying for a service like this, I would prefer to use a functioning, supported, and updated app.

New 22tb iron wolf pro drives always seem to be out of stock. 18s and 24s seem easier to get ahold of.

What’s the deal, any ideas?

I'm considering buying this drive (link to Canadian Amazon). Currently, the price for the 26TB model sits at CA$414 (around CA$16/TB). The primary use-case would be for storing a Plex library of movies and shows, as well as personal photos and videos.

I've never used an external hard drive before -- always stuck with internal drives as I've been told that they are faster and more reliable. But I'm not sure if that's the case anymore, as USB speeds may exceed SATA by now? Plus I just haven't found any internal drives of similar sizes for similar prices.

So, overall, just wondering if this is a good deal or if folks might recommend an alternative setup for a similar price?

As per the title, I'm wondering what are good/decent/not terrible external hard drive exist. I'm thinking something simple to have a main copy, a back up, and a back up back up. I think 1/2/3TB would be ample enough since I don't have all that much. Something I can keep stowed and take out/connect easily enough as needed. Something I can easily transfer to, delete from, and shuffle the copies around on of all my data. All in all I wish for something I can use with any computer/laptop as I might feel switching out with.

General advice/recommendations is the idea, please. I am not going to interrogate on the details of anything, just seeking leads to start with from those far more knowledgable than me.

Managing cold storage for research lab's genomics data. Currently 500TB, growing 20TB/month. Debating architecture for next 5 years.

Current Iwe need RAID-60 on-prem, but hitting MTBF concerns with 100+ drives. Considering S3-compatible object storage (MinIO cluster) for better durability.

The requirements are 11-nines durability, occasional full-dataset reads for reanalysis, POSIX mount capability for legacy pipelines. Budget: $50K initial, $5K/month operational.

RAID gives predictable performance but rebuild times terrify me. Object storage handles bit rot better but concerned about egress costs when researchers need full datasets.

Anyone architected similar scale for write-once-read-rarely data? How do you balance cost, durability, and occasional high-bandwidth access needs?

Archive Team is a collective of volunteer digital archivists.

Currently, Archive Team is running a project to archive billions of goo.gl links before Google shuts down the link shortener on August 25, 2025.

You can contribute by running a program called ArchiveTeam Warrior on your computer. Similar to folding@home, SETI@home, or BOINC, ArchiveTeam Warrior is a distributed computing project that lets anyone join in on a project.

For this project, you should have at least 150 GB of free disk space and no bandwidth caps to worry about. You will be continuously downloading 1-3 MB/s and will need to temporarily store a chunk of data on your computer. For me, that chunk has gotten as large as ~90 GB and that's only what I happened to spot.

Here's how to install and run ArchiveTeam Warrior.

Step 1. Download Oracle VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Step 2. Install it.

Step 3. Download the ArchiveTeam Warrior appliance: https://warriorhq.archiveteam.org/downloads/warrior4/archiveteam-warrior-v4.1-20240906.ova (Note: The latest version is 4.1. Some Archive Team webpages are out of date and will point you toward downloading version 3.2.)

Step 4. Run OracleVirtual Box. Select "File" → "Import Appliance..." and select the .ova file you downloaded in Step 3.

Step 5. Click "Next" and "Finish". The default settings are fine.

Step 6. Click on "archiveteam-warrior-4.1" and click the "Start" button. (Note: If you get an error message when attempting to start the Warrior, restarting your computer might fix the problem. Seriously.)

Step 7. Wait a few moments for the ArchiveTeam Warrior software to boot up. When it's ready, it will display a message telling you to go to a certain address in your web browser. (It will be a bunch of numbers.)

Step 8. Go to that address in your web browser or you can just try going to http://localhost:8001/

Step 9. Choose a nickname (it could be your Reddit username or any other name).

Step 10. Select your project. Next to "goo.gl", click "Work on this project". You can also select "ArchiveTeam’s Choice" and it should assign you to the goo.gl project anyway.

Step 11. Confirm that things are happening by clicking on "Current project" and seeing that a bunch of inscrutable log messages are filling up the screen.

Yes, the ex-Fujitsu mad lads have finally done it. They've beaten Seagate and WD to the chase. Now who will be next to match them...?
