Welp, I guess this means something bad is gonna happen and Spez is trying to get in front of the inevitable protests.

I wonder what it could be…

Thanks for the write-up. I think Santa will be bringing me a Firestick Max for Xmas… and I’ve already got a real-Debrid subscription (which I highly recommend). I look forward in trying to plug them together.

You have a valid point, and if your using this service to download dark web “illegal to possess” content (like CP) - then, yeah, you probably don’t want to use it.

However, if you “find” the random movie/tv-show: The copyright holders are usually chasing people who are distributing content (like you do with torrents) as opposed to the people who may accidentally consume the content. … but IANAL

… or you could pay approx $2.70 / month for real Debrid. Replace jellyfin with stremio + torrentio and your family can immediately stream whatever shows they want w/o asking you and without needing to wait for the torrent to download.

… another option: you use the web based Teams.

If you want more isolation, you could have a dedicated web browser for it.

Of course, the web version of Teams has a few annoying limitations (you can only see 4 people at the same time, opening multiple tabs to Teams kinda breaks it, etc), but it is endurable.

I found traefik to be a more feature rich, load balancer when used in kubernetes environments. Other than use in kubernetes, I’d say if you’re happy with nginx, keep using nginx :)

Thank you for the clarification. I was also confused by that quote (ie: if you can control who’s data your reading… you should be able to control who has access to your data. Of course, this doesn’t include mirroring content and other shady practices, but I don’t think Meta would go down that path to avoid being defederated)

Windows (and most other operating systems) have a “user land” and a “kernel space”.

“user land” is where all your applications run. A “user land” application can only see other applications and files owned by the same user. Eventually, a user land app will want to do “something”. This can be something like read a file from disk, make a network connection, draw a picture on the screen. To accomplish this, the user space app need to “talk” to the kernel.

If user space apps were instruments being played in an orchestra, the kernel would be the conductor. The kernel is responsible for making sure the user land apps can only see their respective users files/apps/etc.

The kernel “can see and do everything”, it reports to no one. It has complete access to all the applications and every file. Your device drivers for your printer, video card, ect all run in “kernel space”.

Basically, the OPs link: they’ve ported Doom to run effectively like a device driver. This means that if doom crashes, your PC will blue screen.

This has no practical purpose, other than saying “yeah, we did it” :)

STOP! You’re scaring the children!

Probably because Reddit never really liked “non-adversing friendly” subs. Reddit tolerated them, because it did drive users to the platform. However, there was a fine line between “acceptable piracy” talk vs the ban hammer.

On Lemmy, we have admins who aren’t fixated on “the users are the product” and advertisers… So, we can let our guard down and have meaningful discussions.
