Kind of seems like an ad, every link to their site has a referral in it ( /?ref=news.itsfoss.com ), guessing itsfoss gets paid for those clicks.

Nope, I prefer being able to run my own network router, open/close my own ports, block ads on the network, hopefully get as much bandwidth as I can, etc. so it's usually better for me to subscribe to my own internet.

... But since you bring it up, coincidentally I currently live on a street with shops/restaurants on the main floor under me. And all their wifi networks are visible from my apartment... so technically yeah, if I go through the trouble of collecting all their wifi passwords I could just hang out on their networks for free internet. Internet probably wouldn't be great and not very private without a VPN but for free web browsing it should work.

combine announce URLs into one torrent file

No.

or create a separate torrent file for each tracker?

Yes.

You can also check in the rules/FAQ of each private tracker but it's universal that all private trackers require their torrents to exist and announce/share peers separately. That doesn't mean the data has to be separate e.g. if it's the same torrent data you can point multiple torrents to the same data.

You forgot to mention their Tor link, seems to be working fine http://l337xdarkkaqfwzntnfk5bmoaroivtl6xsbatabvlb52umg6v3ch44yd.onion/

You see proponents of both views engaging in egregious argumentative practices at times and it is clear that this situation is continually degrading and needs something to be done about it.

Does it? I'm kind of thinking if people insist on browsing Lemmy in All mode, and forcing themselves to view everything they they don't want to view, then it's on them to learn how to block communities in their own profile settings. Or if you want to help them somehow, maybe some way to display a quick how-to to show people how to block communities and/or browse in Subscribed mode could be useful. Just not sure how feasible that would be overall if people are browsing All and just reacting to things they don't want to see.

For me browsing Lemmy in Subscribed mode and purposely subscribing to communities I'm interested in works well enough, no need to wade into the for/against AI drama or any other topics I'm not interested in.

Eh, sure OP could do that. Does seem a bit over the top for OP to pursue the most complicated backup solution possible :D Maybe as a strange experiment to see how it goes, not as a trusted backup solution. (like you said not for critical data)

IPFS would also require more bandwidth vs just about any other solution since it has to constantly talk to other IPFS nodes. And more finicky, last I used IPFS the client would run into memory leaks and other weirdness requiring restarts every now and then (hopefully it's more stable for long-term runs nowadays).

Similar but no, Syncthing does not use bittorrent or the bittorrent protocol.

Though if you're curious Resilo Sync (formerly Bittorrent Sync) is similar to Syncthing and does use bittorrent.

Wouldn't be a good solution, you're hoping that other users are going to volunteer to pin (aka store and seed) your personal backup data for you.

Using IPFS for personal backups is exactly the same as creating a torrent with your backup data - With both it would be unlikely that your personal backup data will actually exist anywhere beyond your own data storage, no one's going to freely volunteer to store your backups for you.

Not overly active but there are a few communities you could join if you like

!OpenSignups@lemmy.dbzer0.com

!Opensignups@lemmy.ml

!Opensignups@noworriesto.day

https://opentrackers.org/ is also a good site to keep an eye on (though it seems to be less active at the moment).

Hmm I can see all current 13 comments here (via web ui), granted I'm looking at it one hour after you posted. If you can see all the comments now then maybe federation with lemmy.world was slow for a bit?

Or could just be new account though you could probably rule that out after like a day if the issue still persists.

Prime95 and Memtest86+ both run under Linux so no issues there.

You could also run those sort of apps off a Linux boot USB, or one of the Linux based diagnostic boot USB projects. I like SystemRescue (https://www.system-rescue.org/System-tools) but there are plenty of others you can check out - SystemRescue includes memtest86+ / stress / stress-ng / stressapptest for system stress testing so that could be something to try.

Yup like others said the lack of a CPU cooler is definitely the problem here. CPUs heat up quickly and once they hit their thermal limit the system will shut down to try to avoid hardware failure. Hopefully the CPU wasn't damaged from repeatedly overheating while you were testing without cooling.. it might be okay, only way to know for sure is to properly install a cooler and then test.

Once you've got it going I'd suggest doing a burn-in test just to be sure the CPU will last. Been a bit since I've done a build but usually I'd run something like Prime95 to be sure the CPU and cooling is stable.
