I think there's a lot of extra interest in stocks and crypto and stocks right now, in no small part due to the likes of GME and BTC and the associated media coverage. The greater idiot theory genuinely applies here, as long as people keep believing they haven't 'missed the boat' and keep buying the market will continue to grow (bullish) and as others have said here there tends to be a cascading effect when people start to sell which reverses this (bearish).
Interestingly enough (and the reason I logged into ycombinator today) there seems to have been some attempt by unidentified parties to artificially create a bearish movement for GME, I was surprised no one has created a thread about the fact that Yahoo finance (Wallace Witkowski) had published the stock has 'plummeted' at 11:55 AM EST march 10th when the actual price drop didn't occur until 12:20 PM EST. There's definitely some dangerous house-of-cards going on in the US stock exchange. I don't envy those living there if this all falls down the way people are anticipating it will.
Literally still waiting on verification from Gemini after more than 2 months. I've since opened an account with BlockFi (was verified in 24hrs) an account with Binance (same again) and bought crypo from binance and moved it to blockfi for interest gain. Gemini can suck a fat one.
Frankly I've stopped using any kind of 'less legal' method of getting MP3s and just buy FLACs from Bandcamp daily now. It's a great site and pretty much everything I've ever wanted is there.
For years I've actually been looking for a client that can handle seeding 500+ files and not just completely crap itself all the time. uTorrent seems to be a bit 'unsafe' and full of ads, deluge's web interface regularly falls over. What options are there out there right now?
I've been a happy Transmission user for a while now.
- nice variety of clients/platforms
- webui isn't completely terrible
- works well in daemon mode
- haven't encountered perf issues seeding 2k+ torrents/~5TB data
- supports modern features (DHT, PEX, magnets)
Yes, Transmission is the most stable client I've ever used (Win or Linux), but like so may others, don't run out of disk space, or you're in for a major hassle rebuilding your index.
I'm running rutorrent on a shitty shared server at its at 700 torrents right now. Its slow but its working. The JS ui is actually quite snappy but it takes a long time to get a reply from the backend so if you add a new torrent it takes about 30 seconds to show up.
Have set this up many times for less tech-savy friends. What I actually did was have them install docker-compose and provided them with a compose script to build up the latest version. I wouldn't use it myself though, I don't think I'd sleep well at night having a single factor auth webserver with access to my entire network.
