Why do some peers have unusual client names in qbittorrent

It’s because some chars aren’t decoded properly. &amp should be rendered as just &. Hinting that more than this is not properly rendered

?

edit: my client renders it as the actual character, even though it's in a code block.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Wow so can I use > to get this?

Edit:yes

[-] hondacivic@lem.sabross.xyz 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I got a notification when you responded and it was ">" but it renders correctly once I open the post.

edit fucking hell it did it even in quotes, I meant >

had to use a greek question mark so it doesn't render

[-] decivex@yiffit.net 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You can also use & to get &.

Edit: Fuck, I meant &

Edit 2: &

Okay nevermind, either lemmy or sync resolves html entities recursively apparently.

Edit 3: &

[-] hondacivic@lem.sabross.xyz 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

finally someone who understands the pain

lemmy doesn't resolve html entities if put in a code block but sync does

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Correctly or wrongly? yours renders ampersand gt semocolon as > only in code block and not in my sentence?

[-] hondacivic@lem.sabross.xyz 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

"wrongly" if in a code block for sure

I use Sync for lemmy, it's a mess but it's the app that's the closest to Joey for me. They charge 30$ to remove ads or 135$(lifetime, it's like 3$ monthly) to be able to import/export communities lmao

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Lmao. But quotes won't change anything i guess. But monospace should do or you maybe able to escape the characters with backslash \

Lemme try >

Edit : yeah this works for me.

[-] hondacivic@lem.sabross.xyz 1 points 5 months ago

doesn't for me. definitely a client issue. these little quirks are what keeps programmers up at night.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Again i'm having abiguity with works. I mean it shows as ampersand gt semicolon and not a single symbol for me. Are you reffering the same? Is it showing a single > symbol for you?

[-] hondacivic@lem.sabross.xyz 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

yup. sync seems to parse it and take any & code and renders it as the actual character. lets lest it.

 " µ ´ ₫ & > <

edit:

i'm even more confused now

[-] bullring888@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 months ago

Looks like a bug. But as long as they upload legitimate files, I don't see the problem.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 months ago

Maybe they're not PC users and maybe those are servers??....

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Haven't noticed this in Tixati. I've only noticed better d/l speeds since I switched over.

[-] GriffinClaw@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

+1 for Tixati :)

[-] Thebay 2 points 5 months ago

Is Tixati open source

[-] retro@infosec.pub 2 points 5 months ago

Tixati isn't whitelisted on pretty much any private tracker because of how easy it makes spoofing other clients.
