  • As someone who’s been in the workforce for more than a decade, the one thing I wouldn’t bother with FOSS is Office.

    I know it’s probably MS’s fault, but at the end of the day I’m just trying to send this boring document to this boring colleague and get on with my day. Last thing I want is for them to come back with boring complaints cause something went a bit wrong with conversion.










  • Born 35 years ago, was a teen during the rise of torrents.

    I have a hard disk dedicated to transient torrents. Separate hard disk for archival and perma seed.

    Everything goes into transient with minimum ratio of 5.0 by default (I forgot the minimum time, but it’s probably two weeks or a month). Sometimes I upgrade good things and upgrade them to archival and set them to seed forever.

    I do remember capping my upload to 50% or so of my maximum upload, as well as limiting the number of downloading torrents (5) as well as active connections per torrent (around 100). You’ll have to play around with this one to suit your own connection.

    After that I just use without much thought, and only remove torrents that have automatically stopped without much worry.
