Shocked nobody mentioned The Shawshank Redemption yet. Box office flop, they had to re-release it back to theaters after it got nominated for 7 Oscars and it only really took off with home video.

I just found this other project that maybe could help:

https://github.com/itschasa/speedrr

It doesn't do exactly what you're looking for but you can set it to slow down your overall torrent upload speed whenever you're streaming from your media server.

Edit: unless the issue is CPU usage? But my guess is that it's a bandwidth issue to enable uploading on all of your torrents.

This isn't exactly what you asked about but it seems at least adjacent to what you're looking for: https://gitlab.com/rpatterson/prunerr

He hired a bunch of 19-25 year old. Not experts

10K at the low end.

If it makes you feel any better, the wood grain in the hole doesn't line up with the wood grain of the rest of the table. It's a slightly sloppy photoshop.

That's a female cat. Calico cats are exclusively female, barring cats with extra chromosomes which are extremely rare.

Back when they first got really insanely famous due to Guitar Hero III, a lot of people thought their music was fake.

They were called studioforce by guitarists who felt threatened by their inability to play TTFAF, and those same haters justified their hate by pointing out that the band themselves frequently couldn't play it live.

This was due in part to the band still having a janky live setup at the time, in part due to their singer not sounding as good live (when they switched singers to Mark it made a big difference for their live shows IMO), and of course because Sam and to a lesser extent Herman would drink excessively before playing a lot of nights, leading to lots of recordings of their sloppy drunk shredding being uploaded to YouTube.

But mostly, I would argue, the hate came from people who dislike new things. They tried to invalidate the band's obvious technical prowess as a way to disregard their (at the time) relatively innovative sounds.

You see that a lot in the guitar community. Anything new or that doesn't fit a traditional, pre-existing mold is dismissed as inferior. Anything non-traditional and obviously skillful tends to draw hate from those same people.

Now that Dragonforce has been around for a good long while, the traditionalists have had time to adjust and Dragonforce has had their live act consistently together for well over a decade, the hate has largely died down.

It also helps, IMO, that Herman Li does regular livestreams so people can see that he's a relatively down to earth guy, especially for someone with a giant wall of guitars in his house and a collection of high end sports cars.

The math is true and that's a real photo? I think it's an anti-joke

Originally Windows was written in assembly and ran on top of DOS, but since Windows 2000 and XP, it's been exclusively running on the NT kernel, which is written primarily in C, with some C++ in there as well.

The actual userspace is mostly C++ and C#.

Metagaming Bob is implied to be a player who metagames, so they intentionally use game knowledge to improve their odds of winning. If for instance they were to fail an insight check, they would choose to break character and act suspicious of the person who they failed insight on, even if their character should have no reason to suspect them.

Care to elaborate, for those not as experienced as soldering? This isn't the most relatable post without some additional context.

For instance, my only experience soldering is with audio equipment (think wires and potentiometers), never with PCBs and I have no clue what you mean.

The new API has the exact same free limit. They're just dropping support for the old API soon and people who want to depend on the old version will need to pay for its continued support because they want to push everyone onto the new site/API
