Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who did it, only a select few know how to make tar balls.

I personally enjoyed Exapunks more but they’re both bangers for sure

Handy dandy diagram for any execs that are confused

So, if I’m understanding your intent correctly/distilling it out a bit: you want a feature that lets you seed a new public torrent from a private torrent (using the same local files) in one click?

I’m not too familiar with the plugin APIs of a lot of torrent clients but this sounds like something a plugin could handle.

The 10,000 support staff with dubious social engineering training at your service provider are not “something you have”. Case in point literally a few weeks ago https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/12/verizon-fell-for-fake-search-warrant-gave-victims-phone-data-to-stalker/

Wow would you look at that, still none of them cover what SMS is >:( Almost like it’s not a second factor, and fuck every corporation that tries to claim that it is

The Problem you describe applies to reddit also, however the solution on lemmy is in your question.

If a community gets scuttled on reddit, where are you going to go? How do you make the transition smooth enough that you’ll retain most of the community. You’re pretty up shit creek in this scenario.

On lemmy if the main community is scuttled, there are already 5 new communities set up, with the same UX/app/login creds. The members can transition easily and carry on being wonderfully niche.

Yes technically the owners of the instance “have all the control”, but it’s in the same way that a friend lending you their car “has all the control”. If they’re a dick or need it back you can just ask someone else. As opposed to reddit which is more like welfare, if the government decides to kick you off, you’re shit out of luck

Wh is a unit of energy, Ah is a unit of electric charge, basically how many physical electrons passed by.

The voltage of a battery goes down gradually as it is discharged, so getting an accurate value for total energy dissipated is very complicated, as this varies greatly with the discharge profile and other physical factors like the age/health of the battery.

The one thing that stays constant is the amount of electric charge a battery can provide. If it’s old, the voltage of that charge will be lower and go down quicker, but it will be the same total charge.

I agree from a consumer point of view, joules would be a friendlier unit, however it is also a lot easier to game. Electric charge is a much more definite unit in an electrical engineering sense.

If any of what I said is confusing please ask me to clarify, I’m assuming a basic level of electronic literacy but it’s hard to know what knowledge I’m taking for granted as an ex electrical engineer.

Once it gets that long it’s something like if every atom in the universe was used as a bit of computing it would still take some absurd n in 10^n heat deaths. Wild how fast the entropy zooms off the edge of the map
