Is there a possibility to seed the same file in a private and public trackers?

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible, without copying the file on another folder, to have 2 active torrents (1 on a public tracker where I am the only consistent seeder and 1 private tracker) pointing to the same file. when I try to add the private tracker it tells me that I can't merge since it is private, but I don't want it to merge at all!

In qBittorrent options, "Merge trackers" isn't ticked so I don't know what to do to keep them separate.
any help would be appreciated, thanks !

[TOMT] [MOVIE] [2000's] About a city wide experiment where everyone in it is an actor.

Hello, I'm having difficulty remembering this film, I believe it is well known. It's about a guy who participate in some sort of experiment/experience, where pretty much the entire city population is an actor in it.

For example I remember a scene in the entrance of an hospital, where the MC is distracted and all the people entering and leaving run away and he end up alone in that hospital entrance. The MC wants it to stop but nothing can be done to interrupt it.

Does that ring a bell to anyone ? Thanks a lot !

Film similar to Phone Booth (2002)

Hello !
I saw Phone Booth again after like 20 years ? And still got me to the edge of my seat.

I would like to explore the genre it touches upon :

  • Films that happen to mostly one location (doesn't have to be that anxiety inducing but it is a plus, I remember a Nordic (Denmark or Sweden ?) film about the equivalent of a 911 operator who receive calls, but you never see what happen on the other side of the call, everything is filmed in her cubicle).

  • Films with a killer that plays with his victims. If the killer has a self righteous trait to justify his murderous thirst.

  • Psychological Thriller.

Thanks for any recommandations you can share !

A Steam Machine format pc to use in the living room

Hello, due to the very high price and disappointing performance of the Steam Machine that I was waiting for to use as a console-pc on my TV, I would like a small format pc, mini ITX or micro ATX format like the Steam Machine.

I will install a Linux distro on it(not necessarily Steam OS) so I would prefer an AMD GPU. Bluetooth for controllers, HDMI and Display port.

I would prefer significant storage (at least 1 TB) and a price between $800 to $1250 to play mostly emulated games (PS2 PS3, Nintendo DS...) and older steam games/indie. I am clearly not into the latest games so no need to take them into account at all. I am currently using a steam deck as a console so something similar with a good upgrade would be great, thanks !

I am in western Europe but I don't mind if you use US price guidance, I will see how much it costs here after outing it in a local part-picker, thanks for your help !
I have 2 16GB RAM sticks laying around from my old pc, but they are full sized so I suppose they can't be used for this.

Adding autocompletion for subcommands of protonvpn cli on Linux (Bash)

Hello ! So I was annoyed with the lack of autocompletion of commands like "connect" and "disconnect" with tab, asked the good folks on linux4noobs for some guidance and got sent to the right direction to write custom word list for autocompletion in the terminal:

complete -W "connect disconnect status info countries cities servers" protonvpn

This will autocomplete all the word on the list as seen on the video, feel free to modify it (for example I have not added "config" because I want to do "con[tab]" for connect, if you want to just write "protonvpn co[tab]" you can remove countries from the wordlist.
Add it to .bashrc or somewhere else to make it permanent and here you go.

Ideally it would be automatically done by the program but until they add it you can solve that issue that way

Why do some cli commands autocomplete and not others?

I am a bit confused about the rules of autocompletion with bash and cli programs. when I use mullvad cli for example, "mullvad" will auto complete ("mull[tab]"), AND any subsequent commands like "status" ("mullvad stat[tab]"), "connect", "disconnect".

But when I use "pvpn" which is an alias for protonvpn program, the name will autocomplete but it does not autocomplete the same sub commands like "pvpn conn[tab]" (and yes, even when using "protonvpn" directly, it doesn't work) even when they exist as demonstrated in the video.

I **believe** that "mullvad" and "pvpn" autocomplete because bash knows them since they are installed in my $PATH, but is the subsequent commands depend on the program I use? Meaning that if the program hasn't included an autocomplete feature it will not work? BUT isn't the program launched **after** I press enter to validate it? So the program isn't launched and that mean that even this is dependent on bash autocomplete but then why it works for some and not others?

I really would love to understand why, thank you for the help.
I made a short video to show, but I think it got flagged waiting for moderator approval and was stuck here so no video sorry.

I am on Linux Mint latest version

Conky issue with improper formatting

SOLVED: Ok so obviously I find a way to do it less than an hour after asking for help, it's not standard or beautiful but it works. I removed cut and piped another grep with --only-matching and now it is great !

{execi 5 amdgpu_top --single -gm | grep average_gfx_activity| grep -o [0-99]}%

grep -o only print the exact matching string of characters, so grep -o [0-99] print the numerals of a line(s)

-----------------------------

Hello, I'm having an issue with conky due to improper formatting (or command use) that I am a bit stuck for a solution. I need to display the GPU usage in %, the issue stem, I believe, from using the cut cmd. When the usage is in the double digit, no issue, but when I am between 0-9, the comma that is present at the end of the line of *average_gfx_activity* appears, it looks like this:

https://imgur.com/a/mKpDHTx

here is the line of conky.conf:

${goto 24}${color1}GPU Usage: ${color2}${alignr}${execi 5 amdgpu_top --single -gm | grep average_gfx_activity| cut -c 31-32}% ${color1}${voffset 1}${execgraph "amdgpu_top --single -gm | grep average_gfx_activity| cut -c 31-32" 15, 275 }

the important part:

{execi 5 amdgpu_top --single -gm | grep average_gfx_activity| cut -c 31-32}%

Because the cut cmd use byte/characters, and I guess the number isn't padded, the comma shift to the left when the GPU is in the single digit range and is taken by cut. Is there a way to remedy to that issue? All I can guess is using another command other than cut but I don't know which one would be appropriate.
Thanks for the help !

XCB (XVideo output) needed to have video working after converting files to av1 using ffmpeg

Hello, I converted a few videos using this ffmpeg command:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:a libopus -b:a 128k -c:v libsvtav1 -preset 5 -crf 20 output.mkv

and using VLC, I didn't have any video running, just a black screen. searching for a while found in preference, Video, Display, Output was in automatic, but I needed to switch to XVideo output to get it working. Was that an issue with my ffmpeg command? or VLC? if it helps the input files were h264.
thanks for any help you could provide, I am confused by that issue.

Made a ffmpeg video converter to H.265 script to save space on my video files

Hello, I would love some feedback.
I have made a Bash script using to convert a bunch of .mp4 files to a newer, less space hungry codec (H.265) without a drop in quality.
It only scan for .mp4 files but can be changed quite easily.
After converting, it append "_cc" to the end of the filename, it will also not convert files who already have that substring.
It will delete the original at the end, but can be changed also if needed, then give you info about the total space saved and how long the script was running
https://github.com/PassPhoenix/ffmpeg_converter_H265/blob/main/ffmpeg_h265_converter_mp4.sh
Is there a better way to go about the wall of "echo -n" I did? The code in general?
It's a very simple script and I am learning

Or here for the code:

#! /usr/bin/bash

input_format="mp4"
datasaved=0
SECONDS=0
number_files_converted=0

for file in *."$input_format"; do

  base_name=$(basename "$file" .$input_format)
  output_file="${base_name}_cc.${input_format}"
  
  if [[ $base_name == *"_cc"* ]]; then
    continue
  fi

  size_vid=$(stat --format "%s" "$file")
  echo "Converting file: $file"
  ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error -i "$file" -c:v libx265 -x265-params log-level=none -crf 28 -c:a copy "$output_file" 
  size_vid_after=$(stat --format "%s" "$output_file") 

  echo -n "Converted $file ("
  echo -n "$size_vid"| numfmt --to iec 
  echo -n ") to $output_file ("
  echo -n "$size_vid_after" | numfmt --to iec 
  echo -n ") Reduced by -"
  echo -n $((size_vid - size_vid_after)) | numfmt --to iec
  echo "."
  ((datasaved+= size_vid - size_vid_after))
  echo -n "Size saved so far: "
  echo $datasaved | numfmt --to iec
  
  printf "\n"

  rm "$file"
  ((number_files_converted++))
done

echo -n "Total saved is "
echo $datasaved | numfmt --to iec
duration=$SECONDS
echo "$((duration / 60)) minutes and $((duration % 60)) seconds elapsed for $number_files_converted files converted."

Transferring to protonpass: questions about email masking

Hello, I am very interested in starting to use the proton suite, but I have an issue with transferring password managers that I didn't find information for.
I am currently using Nordpass and is making heavy use of their email masking. What would happen to my accounts and masked emails if I transferred to ProtonPass?
A concrete example: I want to connect to an account that had Nordpass mask, they say, to verify my identity, that they sent a code on my provided email.
Could the mail be lost to the void when I stop paying for Nord?
Do I have to change all my nordpass masked mails to proton masks?
Thank you for the help

EDIT: A fix was released, update kmod – 31+20240202-2ubuntu7.2 in your update manager
This is crazy, maintainers discovered the exploit at the same time as the public, leaving them no time to get a patch ready. This is so stupid and inconsiderate from the researcher and the AI firm (mostly the firm since they were the one releasing the informations). It makes the possibility of this exploit being used maliciously way more viable.

Don't worry too much, a physical access is needed for this, or running the code on purpose. It's a very simple python code so it is surprising.
