Somehow my quite limited disk space (500GB) is getting lower and lower and lower to the point where spotlight will stop working.

I know you didn't ask, but check your Time Machine snapshots in Disk Utility. If you prefer a CLI approach, this should work:

  for d in $(tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates | grep "-"); do sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots $d; done

why would you go FROM Transmission to qBittorrent?

In my case: some torrents wouldn't find known-good seeds in Transmission but worked fine in qBittorrent; there's reasonable (but not perfect) support for libtorrent 2.0 in qBittorrent; my download speeds and overall responsiveness is anecdotally better in qBittorrent, and; I make use of some of the nitty gritty settings in qBittorrent.

Transmission is the app.

Former Transmission user here.

I realise you didn't ask, but you might find some improvements in qBittorrent.

I read [The Financial Times] mostly for their drum and bass coverage.

Brilliant. I love this on 174 different levels.

In a similar vein, a former medium-sized client of mine had a retail / b2c product range launch and used identical placeholder EAN bar codes for each variant of the range. All the SKUs + their variants (around 200, from memory) had to be quietly recalled when retailers noted all the products had the same EAN - which turned out to be the 330ml Coke can that the designer had on their desk when they mocked up the bar code.

Edit: removed EAN.

In a similar vein, I use `dig` with Cloudflare to find IP addresses:

dig @1.1.1.1 ch txt whoami.cloudflare -4 +short | sed "s/\"//g"

dig @2606:4700:4700::1111 ch txt whoami.cloudflare -6 +short | sed "s/\"//g"
