• Bypass download limits?

  For sites with limited download speeds I usually use aria2 (via terminal) since it supports segmented/multi connection downloading. But I guess this wouldn't work with 1fichier, since with these sites you usually don't get direct link to the file and/or sites like these limit the number of parallel connections. I also used it for torrents for a while, but I wouldn't recommend doing this anymore. Source: 5 months ago

• What actually gets you in trouble with torrenting? Downloading or seeding?

  You could try a tool like https://aria2.github.io. Source: about 1 year ago

• What is the best and fast way to move 30 TB of data from one site to another side a few block down the street?

  A simple example of parallel transfers of a single file are Byte-range: HTTP requests. An example of one off-the-shelf tool that does this is aria2, but there are many libraries, and it's not difficult to write code from scratch. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to download and store 900 3 hour videos in a month?

  Like others here, I also recommend using https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp to download the videos. Pair it with https://aria2.github.io/ as an external downloader to get the max speed download. Source: about 1 year ago

• Video downloader

  I've used "aria2" download application CLI which was good / useful e.g. https://aria2.github.io/ (not sure that's even the right official site), And it LOOKS like there may be some web add on extension someone wrote to use it from firefox, but I've zero experience with browser integration of it.

• WordStar: Arrogant, Difficult, Powerful (2022)

  I actually have a bound set for WordStar 4. If you want to use something similar on modern systems, try "Joe's Own Editor." https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Micro – A Modern Alternative to Nano

  JOE is pretty nice https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io/ — a hybrid of WordStar and Emacs, and if you run it with `jstar` you get a pretty authentic WordStar experience which also reminds of the earliest Borland Turbo IDEs. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• RAM requirement for a cyberdeck for writing

  If you want to change your workflow, you might consider using a terminal based text editor though. There are many out there, the most famous being vi or emacs (though both a bit hard to use) and packages specifically for word processing exist as well (for example https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io/). It will need more getting used to, but this will pretty much run on a potato and you could use a pi zero or any... Source: over 1 year ago

• Resolving the Great Undo-Redo Quandary

  JOE [1] has worked this way as long as I remember (which is close to 20 years). [1] https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How do you uninstall compiled and installed things?

  I installed joe's own ediot https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io/ by compiling it and using install script. I used it few times before going back to vim. Now I wanna uninstall it. Is there any 'automatic' way of uninstalling it? Source: over 1 year ago
