  • Someone should make a qBittorrent plugin that adjusts a torrent’s speed limit continuously to draw shapes on the other peer’s speed chart for one-on-one transfers. Ideally, so that the curve peak is your bandwidth and the area under the curve is the total data volume of the transfer. I would totally waste half of my bandwidth for a chance of amusing some leecher. (The other half can in the meantime be used for torrents with larger swarms)



  • Very good explanation! The wording varies, in Czech and German it’s like “consume by” and “can be stored at minimum until”.

    A store in my country once had an apology sign on display saying something along the lines of:

    Some products in [this section] on sale [this year] were labeled with a “Sell By” date. According to [this EU directive], such a date is identical to the “Best Before” date. This has been fixed and we apologize for any confusion."

    I have no idea how the “mistake” happened (normally, no food items share packaging between Europe and other continents) but I’m glad they got it sorted. The “Sell By” bullshit causes industrial-scale food waste by US supermarkets. Here, items about to pass BB are marked down by about 30% instead, and mom-and-pop stores usually have a discount shelf dedicated to past-BB items at 50% or higher discounts.
