Yeah my comment wasn't a knock at the software or devs. I just think libtorrent v2 is not quite ready for widespread use yet. Since OP is talking people migrating to I2P then it needs to be more stable before that can happen. A few years from now I'm sure it will be a great option.

libtorrent 2 also has some issues. On unRAID for instance it causes crashes so I am forced to use v1 builds. And on other systems it has high memory usage so it's not exactly ready for prime time.

It is impossible for an AI to cite its sources, at least in the current way of doing things. The AI itself doesn't even know where any particular text comes from. Large language models are essentially really complex word predictors, they look at the previous words and then predict the word that comes next.

When it's training it's putting weights on different words and phrases in relation to each other. If one source makes a certain weight go up by 0.0001% and then another does the same, and then a third makes it go down a bit, and so on-- how do you determine which ones affected the outcome? Multiply this over billions if not trillions of words and there's no realistic way to track where any particular text is coming from unless it happens to quote something exactly.

And if it did happen to quote something exactly, which is basically just random chance, the AI wouldn't even be aware it was quoting anything. When it's running it doesn't have access to the data it was trained on, it only has the weights on its "neurons." All it knows are that certain words and phrases either do or don't show up together often.

The good ol' United States. Most of the major ISPs have caps here and you do not really have multiple choices because they basically have monopolies in their respective areas.

I am using unRAID so if one dies I can just replace it. About 4 years ago I bought a lot of fifteen 3TB SAS drives and I have had them running 24/7 since then. Funny enough not a single one has died. They all had around 5 years of power-on hours and now they are up to 9 and still going strong. Honestly I expected to lose at least one per year but they are surprisingly resilient.

Is it just me, or is that “cinematic” postprocessing effect more intense now? It feels “shakier” than S1 and I was kind of hoping that they would only use it during sidestory episodes…

I didn't remember it being like this either, but I rewatched season 1 before this and the effect has been there since the very first episode. At least in the blu-ray release. It's possible it wasn't originally there in the TV release but now that they've added it they're sticking with it.

I don't necessarily hate Manjaro, but I do think people shouldn't use it. Besides the things people have already said, Manjaro goes against the spirit of what Arch is supposed to be. Arch has everything you want and nothing you don't. You set everything up for yourself so you know exactly how your system works and why X package is installed. You tailor the experience for yourself rather than having someone else tailor it for you. If you wanted that you could just use a distro meant for that in the first place like Fedora.

But even if you really, really, want preconfigured Arch you could just use EndeavourOS. It uses the normal Arch repos and has basically none of the issues Manjaro has in terms of security and stability. There is not really any good reason to use Manjaro over it.

I have been using OpenBoard recently and it feels exactly like GBoard, except I have an issue where using backspace/deleting characters also randomly removes spaces from words I've already typed. So words will start gettingmashedtogetherlikethis. Unfortunately it seems unmaintained so I guess I will just have to move back to GBoard for now.

Even the highest quality anime isn't very complex compared to any live-action footage so it compresses incredibly well. The better groups also use vapoursynth filters to fix errors on the blu-rays like bad anti-aliasing and banding. So the best encodes will actually look better than a remux which is never going to happen with live-action.

Yeah complaining about storage space in 2023 is a bit silly. You can go on eBay right now and get a used 4TB SATA drive for $25. Even cheaper if you get SAS drives, you just need a SAS expansion card which is also around $20 or so. 6TB SAS drives are going for $30.

ISP data caps are a bigger enemy than raw storage capacity these days. It costs me $50/mo to remove my 1TB cap. Which means it is more expensive to download 6TB than it is to buy 6TB of physical storage. And even SSDs are dirt cheap now. Storage has never been cheaper.

Yeah I'm so confused at the production/directorial choices. I came here to complain about similar things but you pretty much said everything I wanted to. I would prefer low budget regular animation (like Angel Next Door) over how distracting some of the shots in this were.
