You’re not seeding properly, check your upload settings or try qBittorrent.

OP has acceptable seed ratio on the files near the bottom.

Do you have a link to this torrent? I am very interested.

beeng , to linux in What else should I help seed?

Does anybody download iso’s via torrents? Or how to help the actual sites that serve these? Since I trust the source more than torrents… Especially for an image…

Maetani ,

Verifiying the checksum of an iso takes 30 seconds… You don’t need to trust anyone

beeng ,

Been on Linux 6 years, never done it. Extra steps

weker01 ,

Well you do need to trust the checksum provided. That is the one you are checking against. Better would be a signature from a key you trust.

In the end a modern torrent is just a hash.

Sekki ,

I don’t think that is even necessary. If you download the .torrent file from a trusted source it will already contain a secure hash of the final file. Also every piece you receive also comes with a hash that can also be verified through the .torrent file. If you don’t trust the source enough to provide a valid .torrent, I don’t see how downloading the image directly from them makes any difference.

You grab the .torrent file from the source website (Mint, in this case) and it’s safe

beeng ,

Ahh makes sense. I still direct download but I guess if I had Torrent client locally it might be nice. But 3-4GiB on direct download doesn’t take long…

FierySpectre ,

It’s more of a way to reduce costs for the CDN, using torrents everyone contributes and they only have to send a small magnet file.

jrgd ,

For many with unstable ISP connections, http downloads can get corrupted. Torrents are superior in this regard as the file gets split into blocks that each get checksummed for integrity after completion. This helps to ensure that the large iso is actually complete and won’t just be garbage on an attempted install. Even if you checksum the iso from http download, you have to pull the entire thing again if it is damaged whereas the torrent would just repull the damaged blocks automatically.

Not FOSS, but a library/archive: annas-archive.org/torrents

Popular Linux ISOs are usually mirrored across a lot of mirrors (duh), so availability is already very good.

What is the book title?

eestileib ,

It was from a series of 1980s DoD training comic books, do not recall.

hahattpro , to nostupidquestions in Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?

Buy raw material and cook yourself.

Most premade food is expensive because:

  • labor on cooking
  • restaurant profit
  • rent of the restaurant/owner of the place sell you food
  • service

Please keep going!

Black Flag is one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. Crazy how long ago it was, covering my feet with a blanket during winter, humming pirate songs while sailing in the open sea.

MyNameIsAtticus OP ,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I get that. I played it originally on PS3 when I was younger. To this day the PS3 controller is just the most comfortable way for me to play it just because of the nostalgia I have for sitting in bed playing it buried under a fuckton of blankets with my head poking out

I way prefer these kind of gaming posts than the gaming “news”. So please keep posting these.

Does the Pirate Ship gameplay in black flag still hold up? I remember everyone used to rave about how good it was.

@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

I just replayed it for at least the 10th time. The answer is yes.

MyNameIsAtticus OP ,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I will say that I am incredibly biased for this game. To the point that My friends when we play Sea of Thieves always have to listen to me (jokingly) complain about how Sea of Thieves should control the ship more like Black Flag. But I still find that its naval controls is by far one of my favorite methods of doing it. It’s done in a way where it’s not too clunky and you need to micromanage, but it doesn’t take away from the action and makes you really feel epic. At least that’s how I personally about it

XeroxCool ,

I’d like to answer as someone without nostalgia: yes it does. I played Odyssey in 2020 and IV 2022-current. The ship mechanics are very enjoyable to me. I beleive Odyseey made it more polished but I can’t actually remember how, so it must not be that important
