Nyaa is normally so well seeded that it can be difficult. I'm on a fresh OS install so I lost my history but I've tried seeding popular shows for weeks and not gotten above 0.5

I'm finally at a place where I can aim for a 1.0 ratio, but I've noticed that a lot of the stuff I torrent just uh...is not very popular lol. Some of them haven't had a single peer in months! It's kinda fun keeping an eye on it, sorta like a popularity contest.


Blairmore latest Alberta community to lose bank branch — a trend seen across Canada


Valerie Robinson has been a CIBC customer for almost 30 years. Now, that’s coming to an end.

She lives and does her banking in the Crownest Pass town of Blairmore, Alta..

The bank notified the community of 1,500 in September that the local branch will close on Feb. 5. The nearest other CIBC branch is about 40 kilometres away in Pincher Creek.

CIBC will remove its ATM in Blairmore too.

Robinson is worried about locals’ reduced access to cash: the currency of the small transactions that fund the life of the town.

“All of our fundraising, like with the service groups, curling, sports activities for kids — you're not going to have a kid going around with a debit machine to sell their raffle tickets, you know.”

CachyOS founder explains why they didn't join the new Open Gaming Collective (OGC)


The Open Gaming Collective (OGC) was an interesting announcement recently from a few bigger names, but the CachyOS team opted out of it and now we know why.
in reply to Adeptus_Obsoletus

Hi,
We have thought about this but we opted out, since we do not see all too much benefit from our side. Handheld stuff is not our major focus. Also, we had some concerns that this could get a "burocractic loophole", which seemd to be more or less true so far.
Additionally, to us all this "initiative" locked like an emergency rushed thing, so that Bazzite finds new kernel maintainers and for other technical stuff after kicking the maintainer, which basically made most integration work for them
We neither want to be associated with "Playtron" too. There are more reasons, but Ill keep them out of the public

Quiet Exhaustion, Still Holding On


Sometimes silence isn’t patience , it’s quiet exhaustion. 🇵🇸

Support has been very limited lately,
yet we continue with what little we have,
sharing the small things and holding on to hope where we can.

If you’re able to help, even a small gesture makes a real difference 🤍
