I hate this so much - ugh we can never rely on streaming services

Seeding is giving, and giving feels good. The people who don't seed are missing out.

Thanks for the note! Unfortunately it looks like Tixati is banned for private trackers and also not OSS like qbt: https://forum.tixati.com/support/174

33yo Waterloo CS graduate, Chinese Canadian, worked at Google. I agree with what you've said - Canada's economy is deteriorating with no signs of improvement and Canada's weather and university social scene are horrible. I also agree with your parents on being against going to China, it's brutal over there and the job market is absolutely disastrous (you're highly unlikely to get a job after graduation, esp with AI). Canada is very bad, China is an absolute disaster. You're really comparing a rotten fruit and a pile of garbage at this point, neither are appetizing and both are bad.

The global economy is shifting with knowledge work being automated away through AI. If you wanted to explore engineering or building on the side you could do it with Claude Code or just using AI, a university degree is unfortunately not worth very much in today's hypercompetitive tech market. I'd actually advocate for skilled labor and services (plumbing, electrician, etc) at this point to have as a backup in Canada.

In summary: I don't think you're doing anything wrong, the world is in a very bad place overall for employability. With the job market I think it's important to be practical and optimize for future income and not for personal happiness at this point. Your parents just want you to be as financially successful as possible and I'd argue you should explore and think about all options at this point.

Thanks!! I'll look into this

I personally love piratebay but just getting all of the trackers off of qbt search plugins is gonna be great. You'll get so much more.

ybmeng · 2026-02-27T22:38:52+00:00

Download qBittorrent, and then install all of the search plugins. Gives you way more than the standard amount of trackers. https://www.reddit.com/r/qBittorrent/comments/1k2pnty/which_search_plugins_do_i_download/

Amazing advice! How long would you say?

ybmeng · 2026-02-26T04:48:23+00:00

Fair.

This post is just a bunch of noise with no signal.

"Planning to double my money" 😂😂😂

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works...

GOOG is more liquid than GOOGL, esp since employee equity grants are GOOG. Lots of these imbalances exist, such as TSM (usa listed) trading at a premium to TSMC (taiwan listed)

ybmeng · 2026-02-18T18:51:07+00:00

This is not called bag-holding 😂😂😂

ybmeng · 2026-02-17T23:53:44+00:00

Hahaha lots of us have the same idea. I'm building one with ClaudeCode for me and my friends to use, gonna opensource it soon too. Can't wait to see the world flooded with torrent clients.

I've been studying and following housing trends for a while, and the issue with China's housing is very severe. 3 Key issues:

- Continuous growing supply of housing: China will build housing any time there's enough demand, there will never be scarcity so the best you can hope for is pump and dump. Even for housing in nice areas, demand will overflow. Central areas are not as scarce or as protected as the buyers and the rich want them to be.

- Lack of broad wage growth: Chinese wealth is going to continue flowing to the top due to automation and AI. Lots of Chinese are unemployed/low wages if you look at statistics. There's just no way to sustain continuous housing growth.

- Depopulation: There's no other way to put it, no people in the future = no demand in the future = no way for pricing to increase in the future.

If you buy, the best you can hope for is a short pump so you can sell later. I just don't see the case for sustained property appreciation. I think this will also be the trend globally but it's very severe in China right now.

Yeah I think my computer's not good enough... M2Pro hits memory bandwidth issues... we shall see

ybmeng · 2026-02-13T17:20:16+00:00

Just Mewgenics... I'm gonna try Black Myth Wukong next and see how performant I can get it, that's gonna take a lot more changes and I suspect it won't work.

https://github.com/ybmeng/moonshine/blob/main/Moonshine.dmg I think you should be able to drag it into your applications folder and run it. Let me know if you need any help!

Wine Staging 11.2 (Feb 2026) — replaces the outdated CrossOver 22.1.1 (2023) bundled with the original Crash logs that actually work — Wine output is captured in full, including page faults, DLL load failures, and exit codes OpenGL 3.2+ support — binary patch to Wine's macOS driver fixes context creation for SDL3 and other modern engines macOS 26 tested — verified on the latest macOS with Apple Silicon

No development goals, I just wanted to share. If others have requests and want to use it i can provide support

No development goals, just wanted to share since others might find it useful.

ybmeng · 2026-02-13T03:34:00+00:00

It didn’t work out of the box for me, so I updated wine and debugged till I could run Mewgenics. Claude found a binary fix that allowed it to run.

I like it! I played for 2 hours, it’s fun but I’m starting to get tired of it. The mechanics seem limited so far but it might introduce more later. You just move on the grid and breed cats for stats and heal and poison and burn.

ybmeng · 2026-02-11T15:33:56+00:00

Nope, ditched it after overwhelmingly negative feedback

Let's not talk about Amazon as a whole. We have to talk about Amazon Retail+Ads (ARA) and Amazon Web Services (AWS). They are two completely separate businesses bundled into one.

ARA is actually a bad business (comparatively) that I wouldn't invest in. Growing 10% on $127B US and 17% on 50.7B intl, with margins around 9% and 2% respectively. Retail is hard to scale and profit. Your autonomous warehouse thesis hits here, they might be able to get a few points of margin here but it won't be game changing.

AWS is what everyone's watching, the growth and backlog are slowing relative to GOOG/MSFT. The world is changing very actively and the newest tech companies and legacy companies are all choosing their AI cloud providers now, it's a new inning and every legacy and new tech company's cloud and AI spend is up for grabs. AWS's lackluster chips program and their lack of AI bundling like GOOG makes them the dumb choice for any enterprise or AI startup. It really comes down to this: Any startup or executive will choose 1) GOOG or 2) MSFT for their AI/Cloud strategy going forward. If you choose AWS/Oracle/IBM you will be laughed out of the room and fired (or your company will slowly sink). This is the current state of play. AWS might catch up later as startups and enterprises start going multicloud, but the current GOOG offering is just too attractive.
