Yeah it’s so sad seeing studio after studio being closed down. So many commenters thought Microsoft will revive old IPs after buying studio after studio.

Now it seems like those IPs will just rot at Microsoft in their intellectual property graveyard.

I’m using zram on all my systems, be it 4GB or 16GB. Usually swap is empty, so there’s no compressing for the CPU to do anyway. If a RPI is capable of ZRAM, your PC won’t break a sweat.

ZSTD is really fast. I’m using btrfs compression too, and don’t notice any performance impact either.

I don’t have direct answer to the question, but I generally don’t add public trackers to my (public) torrents. DHT/PEX usually works fine for me for finding seeds on the occasion that I do need something from public torrent sites.

I wonder whether adding additional trackers only increases the speed in which peers are found or whether it also substantially increases the likelihood of finding peers.
