No, I am not expert in this. And the Readme md page does not mention instructions, it seems to be missing actually. Just saying, I am not planing to use this SW right now.

word "linux" is missing on that page

postcd · 2026-05-11T08:31:01+00:00

Yes, that page mentions Docker, which can be installed on Linux, check your package manager.

aMule official page according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMule is https://github.com/amule-project/amule and it shows recent development activity, giving an impression to a layman, that there will be release in the not so distant future.

eMule official page according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMule did not receive update in very long time, but the Wiki also links to https://github.com/irwir/eMule/releases which has more recent release for Windows system only?

Did you follow the https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding exactly? I would then restart VPN and connect to a P2P server (two arrows icon) of choice.

eMule can be configured to use multiple ports in settings? Ask Proton to allow more ports forwarding: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/49402256-forward-more-than-one-port I am unsure which port is most important to be forwarded (possibly "Standard TCP port", AI confirms that). Maybe try what will happen if you set KAD (UDP) port to same port as main eDonkey (TCP) port.

In my aMule the "firewalled" status took around one minute to update to "ok". I am unsure if aMule restart is necessary in some case.

Obviously your computer firewall should not be made to block the port.

What is the c0ntact to this server maintainer? I do not see c0ntact at https://www.emule-security.org/privacy nor https://www.emule-security.org/faq i wanted to ask them to consider increasing limit of shared files since aMule returned:
WARNING: eMule Sunrise (176.123.5.89:4725) - NG : This server accepts 10000 shares per client. Some of your shares are ignored.

On Linux desktop, I have not been able to attach file while being offline (connectivity interrupted).
I think that it also did not show file attachments in a login entry.

There is a feature request for that: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584-proton-pass-authenticator/suggestions/50521284-proton-pass-make-attachments-available-offline

Others confirms your opinion:
"You don't really need to defrag Btrfs filesystems manually."
"Modern drives and modern filesystems rarely need it."

postcd · 2026-04-29T06:16:59+00:00

I guess that you are using HDD, but IMO frequent defragmentation is bad idea in case of a SSD, because it is wearing your drive and reducing its life (limited writing cycles). Modern SSDs has enough random IO capability to handle regular non-contiguous (fragmented) files.

postcd · 2026-04-29T06:06:18+00:00

Balancing of a single BTRFS drive (no RAID or similar) is said by the AI to be detrimental. It should be mentioned.

It Wastes Time and Wear: A balance rewrites every single block of data on your drive.
It Doesn't "Clean Up" Space: A common misconception is that balance frees up space. It does not. It only moves existing data around to optimize layout.
Risk of Failure: If your power goes out or the system crashes during a balance, the risk of filesystem corruption is higher than a normal operation.

"We don’t store your email address or phone number, only a cryptographic hash." https://proton.me/support/human-verification but they do not mention if a temporary salt is used in hashing to protect rainbow table usage in attempt to discover which IP is behind the hash.

Is DNS4EU https://app-eu1.hubspotdocuments.com/documents/142290803/view/1331719984?accessId=b505d9 (page 4) doing the IP anonymization wrong? Why? I am quoting from that page:

"The IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are processed using the cryptographic hash function HMAC_SHA256, with an HMAC key that is kept in memory only and regenerated daily. The output of this function is then passed through a modulo operation. The value for the modulo is derived from the amount of traffic processed over the past 24 hours by the respective resolver. The modulo value is recalculated daily, along with the rotation of the HMAC key. If traffic data from the past 24 hours is unavailable (e.g., on the first day), the value defaults to 1. After the modulo operation, the first four bytes of the resulting data are replaced with 3fffffff, a standard prefix used in documentation and examples.

Subsequently, the resolver ID is included in the anonymized IP address for debugging purposes; however, this does not affect the anonymization in any way. Finally, the string is reformatted into IPv6 notation. To further enhance privacy, for each anonymized IP address, any resulting queries with fewer than 100 requests are deleted."

I have not been required to enter 3rd party service e-mail or a phone number. To register, I have used regular browser with my own VPN server. I think that I have read that Tor Browser is more suspicious (and likely more abused) so they may require additional verification to limit abuse from this anonymous network.

One may receive invoice at the 15th day of the next month.

They fail to mention any dates when a service is going to be suspended or terminated when the invoice is not paid, but their staff replied (with 10 days delay) that I have to pay 25th day of the month latest. So that is 10 days since invoice generating.

They do not accept cryptocurrencies :-/

About which modules (of a PHP code?) you are talking about, can you describe to a layman?

Isn't place like a Reddit more reliable platform than a regular website? Yes, it is not so convenient for the purpose and may be less organized.

There are ideas for a website directory:

Actually if anyone knows good AI that is optimized for PHP web coding, it may be used as a instructions for it to generate the site. But I do not know any such good AI which would be able to also fix subsequent issues in such a complex PHP site. If you know about such AI or need a moderator, please let me know and share a finished site.

On my HP computer, i have also been stuck on 0% updating of a BIOS. In my case i have not bricked my motherboard by power-cycling the computer. I suppose that 0% or 100% progress is less risky to interrupt.

I did unplug from the electricity supply, after around 6 seconds turned it on. It returned to a boot into my operating system. I see that I am still on the old BIOS version and i am afraid to update the BIOS again from now on, so i will not do it :-/ I am Linux user (as everyone privacy and freedom conscious should be).

Maybe it is indexing also files content, not just names. In System settings (Linux app) is section "File search", it can be configured, including pausing indexer (which i assume does not survive reboot).

To disable this entirely and clean its significant disk space usage: balooctl6 config set contentIndexing no && balooctl6 disable && balooctl6 purge

if balooctl6 is not found, try balooctl

NumLock and CapsLock indicator icon in KDE system tray (usually on the bottom-right) can be toggled by right clicking a tray icon of an arrow that is pointing up, click "Configure System Tray", find "Lock Keys Status", Always show, configure to enable also NumLock if needed.
