FYI: If you aren't aware, Arch has a CLI installer now that is very easy to use, should you ever want to give it a try (archinstall)

Endeavour is basically Arch with a more user friendly installer, a very small number of their own packages, and a coat of paint.

Manjaro is similar, except Manjaro runs their own repositories and delays packages for testing. This can lead to a whole bunch of issues when combined with the AUR. The team leading it has also been shown to be a little inept at times. I wouldn't personally recommend it.

The only downside is it can make web browsing and shopping a bit of a pain. But that’s my own fault for not taking 10 minutes to figure out how to set up split tunneling or just hosting qBittorrent on my media server…

Advice: Look up Gluetun and dockerize your torrent/vpn setup. Makes things real simple (including moving where it is hosted, should you choose to)

...What are you talking about?

That makes the stat worse, not better, no?

Uncounted users means fewer posts per user.

How did you install PCSX2? The fact that you are launching it through Cartridge makes me a little worried that you are using the windows version. Try the AppImage or Flatpak packages and see if you have any improvement (assuming you aren't already using those)

Oh, 100%. In terms of posts per active user, they look to be killing it.

...What? This is Redis. Linux doesn't really benefit from this (aside from being an OS that can host Redis)

In the case of "frequently defederated"? Or in General?

Looking at FediDB (which seems a little broken), it seems like Lemmy.World is tripling their monthly posts.

If you want to take on archiving a huge library of media, more power to you. But that isn't a requirement. Many people use streaming downloads so that local storage is basically not required. Others download and set up services/plugins to delete episodes after they have been watched to ease storage requirements. Even if you want to keep all media, Raid is certainly a luxury, not necessity. Losing all of the media from a drive just means needing to download it all again.

And all of this is completely out of the argument of "feature parity" with Netflix. They drop shows and movies from their services all the time.
