  • Every morning we wake up with the ability to change who we are and how we act and react.

    If you’re sincere, you’ll use that to improve who you are tomorrow.

    If you’re truly sorry, you’ll do something extra to help others in some way and address the karma imbalance you’ve caused. Apologise to those people you hurt. (Trust me, it will mean something to them) Find ways to help others survive bullying. Make anonymous donations to the places you stole goods from.


  • Others have answered why this isn’t a memory leak as such and is not as big a deal as you may think.

    But if you are still concerned, you can reduce it, even if doing so is a bad idea.

    1. You’re running it natively which means you’re probably using a systemd .service file to manage jackett. Research the .system setting “RuntimeMaxSec” - that will force a restart of the service every N seconds and prevent it growing. (This is a bad idea, but if you want to boss it around, you can)

    2. Run it in docker and force a max memory setting. Docker will prevent it using more than you set. You can also restrict cpu usage this way too. docker-compose example goes something like:

    deploy: resources: limits: cpus: 0.5 memory: 100m




  • Cloudflare are the cheapest domain registrar since they take zero profit from the sale. You will not find anywhere cheaper. (If you do, then look very carefully for hidden charges since that registrar will be subsidising your domains)

    They’ve got some pretty useful free tools to help you manage it, and use it effectively too.

    (For the Cynical, CF’s MD was very open about why they don’t charge for domains - it’s to get your goodwill. The only restriction is you can’t use third party nameservers for domains you host with them for free, you have to use CF’s. I’ve never found that a problem in many years of both private and commercial domain hosting there)





  • Canonical is UK based, so scrub that.

    But Redhat, Rocky, Alma are all owned by US legal entities and can absolutely be legally forced to do as you describe.

    Technically blocked is something else, mind. We’re clever, resourceful and motivated people and US laws wouldn’t directly affect us.

    However - you’re thinking small. US influence of IT is massive. Routers, servers, hardware of all levels. The most enterprise level software is US led. All of these things can be restricted, or tarriffed heavily, or sanctioned entirely. If the US wants to hurt the rest of the world, it just has to tell Broadcom to turn off vmware outside of America. Ditto Cisco, Ditto Dell, Ditto… etc etc. Sure, it would be illegal, but does the American government care about that?

    Anyone telling you that “Y won’t happen because it’s unthinkable” clearly hasn’t been paying attention this year.

    I’m not going to answer your question directly - others have done that already.

    I will say that, as an older man, my brain has thrown up random things from my childhood multiple time, so the same may happen for you. I’m no psychologist, and I’m also late-diagnosed autistic, but it seems that the brain can lock away memories from that period because it didn’t know how to process them. Then, much later in life, it’ll dig one up, dust it off, and put it at the forefront of your mind and say, “Go on then, you’re all grown up and know so much now, what about this then?”

    This has happened to me at times of trauma (like I didn’t have enough to deal with at that time already - and may be the same for you with your OCD), but also at times of peace. I had a traumatic childhood which I won’t go into, but it’s provided a rich seam of suppressed and painful memories to randomly spit out and obsess over throughout my life.

    I think my point in writing this is… Just to say that you’re not alone in having random thoughts from your past take over, and that overall I don’t think it means much that it’s come back to mind.
