    Linux has never been the hard part of linux. The biggest hurdle of linux

    Is storage, especially when migrating / dual booting from Windows.

    There’s absolutely exoteric stuff in there that you will need to run once and then never again, so this knowledge will be lost for years, until you need it back.

    Especially if you want to keep your old data.





  • I’ll mention it here, since nobody did for some reason, but torrenting is sustainable so long as people keep the files and reseed. So keeping a copy is not the end-goal of people using torrenting technology, but a necessary part of the process.

    The goal, functionally, is still streaming. (So much so I used to set the torrent to download the file progressively and run the incomplete file in VLC, watching it while it was getting completed).

    What keeps me away from streaming site is that I’m confused about how they sustain themselves. Aren’t the costs giganormous to constantly be streaming stuff around?
