  • In my case, I didn’t see any advantages compared to public trackers. Users of private trackers are supposedly all so elite, but in reality they pay for seedboxes and try to be the first to download literally every new release to at least somehow support the ratio around 1.0.

    Guys, while you seed all sorts of junk for the sake of who knows what, I seed really useful content on public trackers and have a ratio of 99.3, which in fact does not affect anything.

    There are normal private trackers, of course, such as Milkie, but there are a lot of dead torrents there.










  • I used DuckDuckGo a couple of years ago, but they added their own blacklist of sites (pretty stupid), and for my language it started returning crappy generated spam sites instead of relevant results. They shouted at the top of their lungs that for my language they simply index the results from Yandex, but this is a lie, they are different.

    StartPage gave the best results, but they introduced a captcha that I got every damn request.

    I’m currently using SearXNG, which collects results from Google. And these are damn normal results, unlike other search engines that consider themselves the smartest and edit the results.






  • Used dark (not black) themes everywhere for 8 years. My eyesight is still good according to my annual physical, but recently I’ve noticed that I have a hard time reading text written on a dark background. It is slightly blurred, especially when there is no light in the room.

    Somewhere I still use dark themes, but I always try to switch to light mode if things look okay with code highlighting or smth.
