I don't know why the car has the persons name, but it's the same thing with most peoples smartphones. People usually never turn off bluetooth when not in use and it's always blasting their name. Though it is of course easier to see who Oscar is when there's a whole car model to match it to.

For car's, I wonder why they can't only blast a device name while in pairing mode. Dunno of it's just not a possibility, but that seems smort.

Very fun fact, so much so I wanted to know more.

originates from the Greek helix (ἕλιξ), genitive helikos (ἕλῐκος), "helix, spiral, whirl, convolution"[1] and pteron (πτερόν) "wing"

Thanks for your reply, I will definitely keep that in mind if Seafile fails to meet any critera moving on, but yeah your last point is also right, it would probably be a big pain to migrate out at this point with all my data for multiple users here.

It seems a lot has been modernising recently, I didn't know they were also using Go, but hopefully they continue with it for new code.

That makes a lot of sense, wish you good luck on the whole process

The problem is that content rights holders setup bots that track who is torrenting media that they own (all the peers they can connect to).

Then they use your ip to ask your ISP to stop you.

As far as i am aware (and possibly wrong), magnet links aren't any more secure than using a .torrent file, it's just another form of it that can be easily clicked (or copied) to open in your client (i've never looked but it might just be a link containing the info that would be in the torrent file).

NextCloud being so slow forced me to migrate to Seafile.

Seafile being less one-stop-shoppy made me not use it so much, but whenever I do it is always fast and responsive (unlike nextcloud, where 80% of the time I was looking at the loading indicator). Looking it up now though, it looks like it has a lot of new features I haven't yet tried so I'm probably gonna start using it more now.

Only downside with Seafile is it's deduplication (for me), because it stops me from easily accessing files directly (always gotta use a client). Likely a benefit for most though and I do rarely need to access a file directly on disk, just when I do, it'd be an easy shortcut for whatever I'm doing.

Depending on where you live, it may not matter if you don't use a VPN, you could possibly research what usually happens in your area?

Many people never get warnings, others ignore them and nothing happens.

Usually nothing happens because ISPs don't care if you torrent, it wastes their time and resources when studios/content owners send dmcas (or whatever) and they have to send a warning. I bet the warnings are just automated for most isps so they can mostly ignore them. ISPs also don't want to punish their customers because then they'll lose revenue by cutting you off.

(The ignoring part is heresay, i'm just combining info i've heard over the years and experience)

Some (most?) countries it's not illegal to torrent copyrighted content either, unless you distribute it (seed).

Poopin every morning with your morning coffee (as seen on tv) is a weakness. Be proud!

Sucks when doctors just assume things, it can cost lives.

Do you know how long a renovation would take? Maybe you could get away with washing with a wet rag/towel to save building a whole new bathroom. Unless you also just want two bathrooms because that's neat to have.
