framepuncher for the desktop

smolmac for the macmini running all the things that would be more at home on an rpi if the mac hadn’t been 50 bucks when pi’s were in three digits

i don’t go into the chat rooms, but i get about one dm a week from some rando or another who’s downloaded something from me thanking me for having whatever shit from 30 years ago they haven’t heard in forever, it’s honestly been a pretty positive experience overall for me.

yt-dlp, tixati, soulseek-qt, jdownloader, and a short list of various ddl/torrent sites in my head. gog-games, nyaa, 1337x, rin, rutor, rutracker, and honestly if what i’m looking for isn’t on any of that, i just assume i don’t need it.
