I keep a single bill in my phone case for emergencies (be it an actual emergency or I just want to eat at some place which only takes cash).

If my phone battery runs out I’m stranded anyway, since I can’t call anyone or use my public transport ticket.

Below is the thread of german torrent trackers. Part of the table is cut off on mobile so I recommend switching to desktop site.

I suggest trying to enter Immortuos, TNTracker, and RocketHD. Seedpool is great for 0-day German scene content, but it’s an international tracker.

IM is worth a try but they need proofs and will likely tell you to wait a few months for more assccount age (e.g. minimum half a year or so).

TNT is easy to get an invite for, if your somewhat active in a community where you know people are on TNT.

AnimeWorld is the best for anime and typically does open sign ups around new year.

RocketHD is an upcoming tracker which is better than the stats suggest. Also it’s improving quickly with an active community. It’s the only German tracker with an invite path (through MAM).

TS is the best. But unless you’ve been active for years with great (!) (international) proofs it’s impossible to get into.

Edit: If you’re in Germany you must bind your torrent client to your VPN. Else it’ll be an expensive lesson.

Blender and DaVinci Resolve work better on Nvidia. AMD might work, but it will be a hassle and you’ll likely need the proprietary AMD drivers anyway.

With Nvidia supporting Wayland and the open-source NVK continuing to get better, you could even switch to open source drivers for gaming at some point, if you prefer.

Edit: I’ve had enough issues with AMD GPU’s clocking down while gaming, leading to micro stuttering. So don’t buy AMD just because everyone tells you they work flawlessly.

For CPU and mainboard, everything works well — just don’t buy a random unknown SSD from Amazon, then you’re asking for data loss and random issues.

Just wanted to note that tinkering with the bootloader on Fedora Atomic is as error-prone as on any other distro.
