I remember Watchtower helpfully stopping Pihole before pulling the new image when I only had the one instance running… All while I was out at work with the fiancée on her day off. So many teaching moments in so little time.

How many desert island discs do I get? I’ll do three lesser known ones

Make it all show - Skating Polly. I love the vocal styles, not sure I’d reccommend the band (I do have tickets this year though)

Masters of reality - Masters of reality. Not so much a band as a producer pulling talent and doing odd projects. Not a track on this I don’t sing along to though… especially the instrumentals.

Rakshak - Bloodywood. Sometimes I need flute solos in my life, sometimes I need someone to aggressively tell me that shit is going to be ok.

3 more known ones.

Dummy - Portishead. Original pirate material - The streets. New levels new devils - Polyphia

Instant pot. I mostly use it for batch cooking, making homemade stocks and rice now. But, I used to make yoghurt in it weekly and proof dough in it every 3 days or so.

It advertised a bunch of functions and it only sucks at slow cooking, but pressure cooking is faster and better imo, it does suck at slow cooking though.

A good general suggestion. The WAF I follow are ‘reasonable’ expense, reasonable form factor, and a physical investment. I floated the idea of a VPS and that’s when I learned of the third criteria. It is what it is.

I just started on this 8tb HDD so it isn’t very full right now, I could raise the ratio limits. But, I worry about filling the HDD and part of me worries about 100s of torrents on an n100 doing other things. So I’m keeping the habit from my pi4+1TB days of deleting media behind us and keeping the torrent count low.

I justify it as self managing though: popular Isos are on then off my harddrive fairly quickly, but the ones that need me will sit and wait until they hit the ratio of 3 however long that is. I would like to do “3 + (get that last seeder to 100%)” but I don’t know how/if it’s possible to automate through prowlarr.

I should probably keep sharing Linux Isos longer than I do, but data hording has a low WAF. Instead I have prowlarr set the ratio to 3 (one for me, one for a leecher, and one to add to the pool) to keep the data churning.
