@schratze ktorrent 4 lyfe. I can't believe I used to use linux kernel network namespace commands to make deluge not do this. The interface dropdown select should be fucking standard.

@ombres ah. I guess I'll amend what I said before just a bit since I forgot about some parts of Crimethinc. I think my perception of Crimethinc is influenced by not taking the blog kind of content as serious as the reporting. I have complicated thoughts on martyrdom, I think it might actually have a place in the world, if that's how close friends/family of the dead knew they'd wish to be remembered. I'm more uncomfortable with the idea of strangers being made into martyrs, possibly against their wishes, with no way of checking that.

@ombres there are so many people who want the anarchist look, but functionally only as wallpaper for their new reform party. There was definitely a historical trend pre-internet towards anarchists being under-identified, or too humble to identify as anarchists (Ursula Le Guin mentions this, and anarchist anthropoligists have described many historically analagous lifeways). But it feels like nowadays that has been complely reversed. Far more people are willing to identify as anarchists than there are actually anarchists who engage in anarchist praxis now. And if I'm gonna be honest whenever crimethinc-haters come up that's where my mind goes. Because this is the fucking basics, the editorial flair may not be everyone's taste, but what's in the text is just the basics of anarchism. People who take serious issue with it are basically self-described anarchists who get upset when they find out what established anarchist thought, and its practitioners have to say about anything.
