Looks like you weren’t the only person to believe the 1994 version to be the better one

A good start would be to check the website and go from there. I don’t know of a good, singular guide unfortunately—there are a couple different ways of going about torrenting on I2P.

I can confirm that torrenting on I2P works quite well! You may have to set aside a couple weeks per movie, though. Still, the torrent selection is decent, if not quite as good as what you would get on the clearnet. You’ll want to check the postman tracker (tracker2.postman.i2p) once you have everything set up.

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

I’ve got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

Copious amount of ebooks or web novel downloads, as well as my lofi folder for background music. All preloaded on a boot drive with a Linux distro capable of both running on the hardware and viewing everything I brought, if I can figure out how to do that. Plus however many snacks I can sneak in.

Really cool, particularly the inbuilt sponsorblock and dislikes. Those are something I’ve been missing in my own Invidious. I’ll still stick with the original interface, but keep up the good work!

The DNS issue persists. The part that my friend helped me with was determining if I configured my router firewall correctly, which I did. Currently I can reach my server from the internet only directly via its IPv6 address, with no progress on binding it to my domain name.

YouTube is already a sedated, anaemic whale of a website. Adblock probably makes it run faster, given it usually removes stuff rather than add it. If you want speed, I recommend a frontend such as Invidious or Piped, it’s what I use on my weaker laptops where YouTube takes half a minute to load.

That’s neat, I should adopt that terminology!

Sounds like Firefox text mode with extra steps. Granted, it might be good for other browsers, but I personally am doing fine so far with a reader plugin on Palemoon.

Also, as other users have mentioned already, it’s sus as heck.

After trying both, I’ve settled on Invidious. I prefer the UI, it feels more snappy than Piped. Plus, with Piped I had this problem with longer videos where it’d just stop playing somewhere in the middle. Might be fixed by now though.

[Question] Reliable sources for exotic weaponry/trinkets/back items?

I enjoy experimenting with different builds and classes, and thus always have a need for new equipment of different stat varieties. For armor, I like to utilize the Bladed armor set, which has selectable stats, exotic rarity and is available in all weight classes. It’s also comparatively fairly easy to farm for, since most...

Looks like I’m going to have to figure that out then, because that’s by far the most straightforward way to get gear that I’ve seen so far. Thanks for the advice!

Make all of them run a bogosort on a list of 10-100 items. Whichever one finishes last gets shot. Repeat until you no longer have idle servers

Good question. I’d hope not

I’ve started to just download videos with yt-dlp after grabbing links via Invidious. Using Invidious itself has become somewhat unreliable lately, and this way I don’t have to put up with buffering and can watch in good quality. Cut out the middle men

This just looks like you took a screenshot of a regular desktop and converted it to greyscale. There are a lot of things you could do to make a colourless setup work better

Flynn_Mandrake,

Icons are already a big part of it!

The core thought that you need to keep in mind is that without colour in your setup, you want your icons (as well as everything else) to be recognizable by shape. There should be a couple good icon sets out there, and judging by how late I am with my reply you’ve likely already found something decent.

You may also want to maximize the value that you can get out of the different shades of grey that are available to you. One step in that direction would be swapping out the wallpaper. Your current one is kind of heavy on gradients, which can get in the way of your other UI elements and takes away some range that you could utilize elsewhere. I recommend something more flat, or some suitable nature photography with the saturation turned all the way down if you’re not too religious about the mono look.

For the theme, look for something that relies more on outlines than colours or gradients to distinguish UI elements. Ideally something that matches with the icons.

Also a little disclaimer that I don’t rice much and am half talking out of my ass here. All the above is stuff I’ve seen or read about elsewhere, but haven’t tried myself. Your mileage may vary, and happy ricing!
