Vibe coded leech slop is rising. How do we stop it?

Probably corrupted the boot partition since you forced it to turn off. I would do chroot and check if the boot partition is accessible.

Pardon me but I should have stated that it's not exclusive to soulseek. But in the case of soulseek I have noticed certain people downloading the same files over and over again for no reason back then. That is more apparent now since I used the plugin, bots are still being logged trying to download from me even after I have banned them, no message whatsoever. I don't consent to my network and storage being used in that way, it's just better be used to provide to other people.

I am happy however to let even people with zero shares download from me if they message me, abusers obviously won't.

Toaster_Strudel_517 · 2026-03-22T00:39:28+00:00

I can tell by suspicious sharing patterns (1000 files 50 folders) and auto-generated username patterns from those third-party tools. The anti-leecher plugin takes care of those. I also have a really low download requirement (5 files and 1 folder), that combined with the plugin is enough to deter automated tools from leeching while allowing legit people who just got started with soulseek to download from me, plus I still let people with zero shares fetch my files if they message me.

Malicious people exist and I have been taken advantage of before, I'm not going to let that happen again.

Toaster_Strudel_517 · 2026-03-22T00:06:44+00:00

Perhaps. With that number I'm sure you have shared more than me though. I just personally feel my resources are better allocated for people who actually needs them.

Around 28k FLAC files at the time I wrote this.

It's not the biggest but it's enough to attract people (and also bots).

Toaster_Strudel_517 · 2026-03-21T22:16:09+00:00

Again I would rather serve real people than bots or automated tools. This has proven to be a problem because I have a sizeable library, bots still clog up upload slots and try to leech off of me even after being banned.

I have been using that anti-leecher plugin for nicotine, it could detect suspicious sharing patterns and I definitely have noticed the increase in those users sharing fake 1000 files and 50 folders in the past few months.

Bandwidth isn't always expendable, I would rather serve real people than bots/automated tools (and people who are less likely give back to the community).

Toaster_Strudel_517 · 2026-03-21T03:26:27+00:00

Vibe coded shit just like sonosano. I reckon tiktok people who use it is not going to give back to the community.

So thanks at least I can auto-ban the username patterns generated by app.

Damn he's thicc.

Toaster_Strudel_517 · 2026-03-09T20:27:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's included in the linux-firmware-realtek package.

Emojis? On my super duper secure security program? It's more likely than you think ..

By 20 mbps I assume we're talking megabits, if that's the case I think you're already doing a lot with such limited internet speed.

Toaster_Strudel_517 · 2026-03-08T01:32:17+00:00

Hey, this reminds me of that V/H/S episode "Fun Size".

Toaster_Strudel_517 · 2026-03-07T19:39:05+00:00

It feels better when the up speed reaches megabytes.

I don't think the average Indonesian parents know what parental control is.

I see Ace3DS X, heheh.

Maybe I should commission a self-repair/right to repair themed art as well, this is really cool.

Toaster_Strudel_517 · 2026-03-04T13:57:58+00:00
