@TheHooligan95@lemmy.dbzer0.com Lol. Torrenting is sharing. And for now you haven’t been visited, but I’m certain Hollywood will pay a visit to your local enforcer chief to explain to him the technicalities over fine wine & dinner.

The risk is still there. Keep your share ratios to 3 so you don’t look like a big problem as @Melkath@kbin.social put it. And when you get a letter from somebody complaining, it’s time to start looking into a VPN.

The second best thing to do is your own research into your country’s laws, and subscribing to e-mail alerts so you can know if the law will change. At least a google alert at a minimum.

Does nobody use the god given Repository of all human knowledge?

There are privacy issues that still have not been addressed as of 2023:

A privacy review of Tribler, the onion-routed BitTorrent app

Hi Anth0rx, yes — I’ve looked into all of them. Here are some hot-takes:

Loginet is just a front for a cryptocurrency. It’s decentralized but not distributed. It’s primary purpose is to selling you hot air, though.

I2P can only talk to other I2P users. There are far from enough users on it to reliably use it for P2P. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, it just never reached critical mass. The set-up process is probably too complicated for most potential users.

GNUnet has been “fixing the internet” for literally two decades. They‘ve yet to deliver anything. The software download pages clearly warns that it’s still “not yet ready”. It’s an interesting project, but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

The project change log does not indicate any work on any of the things discussed in this article. I might revisit this after the next beta release.

TLDR: Censorship resistant doesn’t mean anything if they can find you and nail you to a cross

Different purposes. Tor was intended so you could access the real web anonymously.

I2p the whole thing is an anonymous web. Everybody is a node. Tracing a packet never ends because you can’t be sure you found the origin of the packet. Which only gets worse the longer somebody remains connected to i2p. And it even can handle torrenting, a torrent client is built in.

I2P sadly gets a lot less funding/support.

i2p or tor addresses. Which aren’t popular because it’s hard for both admin & user.

The Premier League wants domain registrar GoDaddy to identify people connected to dozen of pirate sports streaming domains that broadcast live football matches. The information, including IP-addresses and payment information, could assist with enforcement efforts. In addition, the Premier League would like GoDaddy to take action against these infringements but, as far as we know, that hasn’t happened yet.

Spanish football league LaLiga has asked a local court to charge the directors of Google, Apple, and Huawei in a row over an IPTV player app. The companies removed the Newplay app from their stores in 2022 to comply with a court order but LaLiga says that apps already installed on users’ phones must be remotely deactivated.

I get that it can be several megabytes in size. But in this day and age it’s like pulling a key flavor from the dish.

Let the free market run its course and let pirate sites compete with streaming services to improve their services.

The only way they can loose that race is tying themselves to an anvil and taking a shotgun to both kneecaps, and it would still be close.

Non Sanctified streaming sites can’t load balance automatically, customers have to manually switch between different video sources. 4K isn’t even an option. So many many ads. And adblockers on mobile aren’t as good. Downloading for offline viewing is a joke. Captions sometimes completely broken, and only a few languages. What’s audio description?

Netflix so freaked out that people will just download a copy of the whole thing. But it’s happening already, and most people cannot afford to have 4k copies of the office filling up their only harddrive. Datahoarders are a tiny tiny minority.

Code comes from Cappuccino, so sayeth the messiah

Almost all the github accounts have a “buy me a coffee” button.

Anybody remember when the fucking optical disks were locked to certain regions?

A timeless message

@Clinico@lemmy.eco.br The M-DISC is your solution. Then just keep it in a cool dry place, airtight plastic bag if possible, and it will last longer than people will remember you.

Also, make sure to store a **desktop **computer in an airtight container next to your disks. If you have spare cash then get backup parts for the computer and keep them in their factory anti-static bags. No GPU needed, get a CPU with an integrated GPU.

Finally, in my opinion, information survives longer when it’s wanted. Get a big monitor, slap it against a wall, plug in a mini fanless PC, and have a random slideshow running during your waking hours. Let family add to the living slide show, teach them how to access the family NAS drive, show them how to access the archival disks in the basement, show them how to make new archival disks as they generate data to add to the family archives of house Clinico.

I am extremely confused why the medicine factories are not sharing the best recipes and running non stop.

They didn’t even hear why this failed the first time.

They sell cases for you to attach an airtag to your headphones case. And the pro version of the iheadphones have individual find my capabilities. Should allow you to locate all three items provided you remember to look while they still have batteries.

Enshittification continues, with the company no longer recognizing it’s original (and still base) market customers, because the investors might get scared.

I actually feel morally regretful when pirating games, more so than pirating movies, because of just how much sweat and tears developers had to put in to making it happen.

Be at peace my child.

Do you copy/paste that as a signature every time or is there a browser plugin?
