Unlike everyone, I wasn't trying to solve someone else's problem: I created one for myself and then solved it.

I don't have a torrent client installed on my main PC; I only have it on the NAS/download server. But sometimes I still need to peek inside a torrent file without going through login pages, local URLs, etc.

So, I created 🧲Magnetize: a simple preview tool that allows you to see all possible details about a torrent file and also get a magnet link from it, so you can just paste it into your notes for later or use it with a web client.

I don't know if someone else needs it, but I wanted such a tool to exist, be fully local, private and self-hostable.

So, it exists now. With an API already baked in and MCP support planned for the next release.

@AnthropicAI The state of things:

Half-Life is now running on more Symbian devices!
What's new in v24:
• Performance improvements
• Support for Nokias without FPU/GPU (very slow, not playable)
• Support for Symbian^3 devices like the Nokia N8 and E7

Download it now: https://t.co/X5uh2vmd6N

Current Linux desktop situation

At least mentioned services are created to host your data. If something goes wrong, you can try some official recovery or talk with support.

With hacks like that, you should be prepared to lose your data at any moment.

Just invest in a NAS and remote backups.

Google charges you $100/year for 2 TB. Dropbox charges $120.

Meanwhile, a developer on GitHub built a desktop app that gives you unlimited cloud storage. Price: $0.

It's called UnlimCloud. The trick is almost embarrassingly simple:

Telegram lets you upload files of up to 2 GB each, hosts them on its servers, and never asks you to delete anything. Your "Saved Messages" chat is, functionally, an infinite hard drive.

UnlimCloud just puts a real interface on top of it.

You log in with your Telegram ID. You get file upload, download, folder organization, and a gallery view for photos and videos. Built with Tauri and Rust, so the app itself is tiny and fast. MIT-licensed, fully open source, Windows build available today plus macOS and Linux coming.

UnlimCloud → Telegram-based storage, desktop app, open-source.

This is not officially affiliated with Telegram or Unlim Cloud.

But it shows something important:

Developers are now turning existing platforms into free infrastructure.

The cheapest cloud storage in the world was hiding inside a messaging app the whole time.

Linux起動直後のスプラッシュスクリーン(plymouth)と、アプリ(Qt)をシームレスに接続することができたｗ
何もしないと黒画面が数秒表示される。
今は1.5秒くらいプチフリみたいになるけど、頑張れば半分くらいにできる気がする。

組み込みLinuxも工夫すれば見た目を良くできるね。

If you're a fan of pre-reset Longhorn you might know the "urban legend" of builds ~4033 having broken DCE due to a Direct3D shader mishap.

Turns out that's been wrong all along and it's just poor order of operations at init. 23 years and a fair bit of ASM later, 4033 glass! 🎉🪟

Gear Lever is great, especially when you set download/update sources in it.

I use it for LM Studio and a few other apps that aren't in GNOME Software.

They're just stuck in 10-15 years ago in term of what they think modern linux distros are.

Deb, rpm, flatpak, snap — all those are installable in one click via GUI.

The only catch there is appimage — i download it, double-click and it runs instead of installation, you're not sure where to put it and how do you make it appear in your installed programs list — basically the thing the guy described, but he did make it sound more complicated than it is.

Last time I wanted to "install" I just opened gnome software, searched "appimage" and found this: https://t.co/nf2C7EAmIN

It creates all the .desktop entries and even handles updates for me. Like it's that easy.

This was my recommendation for all not-so-powerful PCs back in the day.

[BobPony.com @TheBobPony]

If you install Explorer7 in Windows 8.1, it's literally Windows 7 but sporting a flat UI design known as Metro design along with some better quality of life improvements such as the new Task Manager and Ribbon File Explorer.

And Windows 8.1 is more optimized than Windows 7 too!
