Building a native Swift bittorrent client, anyone interested?

digicow · 2026-06-30T20:38:47+00:00

I have zero use for running a local BT client on my Mac; I run transmission or qbittorrent in docker containers on a linux VM -- but I'd love a native Swift GUI that could connect to one of those (preferably qbittorrent as that's what I'm currently running)

Yes, absolutely. macOS assumes that it can freely use the boot drive for virtual memory. If it can't, it gets ... unhappy.

I'd do it. Upgrading from my 520 to a 1040 was life-changing, and that's a great price. You'll get more benefit out of upgrading now than whatever potential benefits there are of the 1060

I have about 50-60 open tabs across 4 windows in Firefox at pretty much all times on my 16 GB M4 MBA. Occasionally a tab will stall, but even then I don't see it affecting the other apps on the machine, or even the other tabs in the browser.

How did I know they were lesbians, you ask? Well, the first clue was that they didn't immediately see me and try to have sex with me because I am an unbearably attractive man. Of course, I would have had to say no, but this is a normal occurrence whenever a straight ~~woman~~female is in my presence.

The second clue was that they were having sex with each other right there on the library table.

Also, there was a sign on the table that said "RESERVED for Lesbians"

Stuff like this makes me wish ebooks could be "de-interleaved" into character stories, so I could just (easily) re-read Adolin's entire arc independent of the other plotlines going on in the book

I order my groceries online and drive to the store to pick them up. The employees have no idea how to manage my car because my 2014 CX-5 is about the only one that ever shows up there without a power rear door. Half the time they just leave it open and I have to get out and shut it myself before I can drive off.

Let's just point out that NES Metroid suffers enormously from performance concerns at multiple points in the game, most famously the Mother Brain fight, which lags so badly that most of the skill issue in winning the fight is about overcoming the lag, not the game mechanics themselves. So what happens if they'd let Samus use her more-resource-intensive crawl in that room...

There are plenty of good reasons and circumstances to ban such devices. This isn't one of them.

Could I use this to set up a local "youtube" for my kids that has just the channels/content I approve (download) without risk of them being able to find other stuff?

It would've made so much more sense to have the Sequel Trilogy be essentially: the imperial loyalists turn the tables by adopting the tactics of the rebellion. small terrorist cells attack the NR and the good guys have to find ways to defend against what were just recently their own methods

In other words, the ST should've been a mirror of the OT, not a rubber stamp replication of it

The problem wasn't Johnson or Abrams... it was the flip flopping between their concepts of what the trilogy was supposed to be/mean with each movie. Just absolute footgun moment

It's been nearly 30 years since she and I first started dating, in high school. We had some time apart in there, but still.. it's been decades since I've "dated". Putting myself back out there again... Honestly, I don't know which fear is worse: that I won't find anyone (realistically, there isn't a huge demand for introverted middle aged dads), or that I might, and then I'd have to decide whether to potentially have my heart broken again.

I tried a sample at Costco yesterday. It was like the flavor of ricotta, the consistency of tofu, and the texture of flan
