0·1 year agoFunny story, I spilt coke all over my first mechanical keyboard. I tried everything to fix it, water, rice, alcohol. After all that it still felt horrible so I ended up just buying a new one. But I didn’t throw it away, I just stuck it in my closet where it remained for years.
Then approximately 8 years later, I take it out, randomly decide to try typing on it… its perfect. Felt just like it did when it was new, I dunno if the sugar just broke down or degraded over time or what, but it was fixed.
So if nothing else, just put it into storage for a decade and then try it out again lol.
I’m on kbin.social and I can see this ;)
1·1 year agoTorrents, I like the community and indefinite retention. And with 1gbps home connections becoming more common staying in ratio has become way easier.
You know… that’s not a bad idea, I just need a general tracker for dumb stuff that’s now allowed on my niche trackers such as cams, Usenet would be perfect for that… time to go down the rabbit hole and figure it all out again lol
- Owner and staff known to be questionable assholes
- They did questionable stuff to try and make it to the top like astroturfing with fake accounts and stealing peers from other trackers
- They were one of first to start charging for signups
- The fact they state that they delete accounts and your only option is to make a new one
- Around the time they started charging a lot of people like myself found our accounts mysteriously gone and them wanting us to pay to get on the site again (I remember being pissed and going to reddit to complain and reading similar stories there)
- Basically the site is really scummy and did whatever they had to do to become big so that they could make money and grift the community and is not inline with the principals most other private tracker communities promote.
- IPT Browser…
- They had a $5/ticket raffle that it’s believed the winners were fake IPT accounts
Honestly, I could probably keep this up all day if I kept thinking about it but imma stop here.
Man the general trackers are such a shit show. Back in the day I had my TL ratio drop randomly and I logged in just to see there were a bunch of downloads logged to my account that weren’t me. Went in their IRC to point it out their shit was fucked and they got all defensive and tried to make it seem like I was trying to pull something malicious on them. I just quit the site out of spite after that and went inactive.
Then I joined IPT which is sketch af, but then one day I just logged in to find my account was deleted and they wanted money or some shit to get a new one, so naturally I was outta there.
… Now I just dont have a general tracker… I guess I should be paying attention to the suggestions here too lol
PS
I miss SCC
Maybe he’s not saying anything but then will drop a fully polished app out of nowhere like that Beyoncé album

Yea my gf at the time all the sudden started complaining that putting stuff up the butt was painful, so I put my finger in my own butt to prove that it’s not painful at all and she probably had developed a medical condition like anal fissures or something. And I was right, it was literally like 0/10 painful.
But the strain and concentration required causes you to dump your drawers.
geekhack for keyboard group buys
my various private torrent tracker forums, ptp, red, etc
A stand-alone media file renamer/organizer with a nice webui that supports hard links.
Since I automate my torrent downloads I basically use the arr suite for just renaming and organizing which kinda over complicates things.
