The best pirates are librarians with legit ethics.
Preserve human knowledge and make it available to everyone.
I hate that you are right about mostly just greedy dipshits pissing in the high seas without contributing.
We should have taken up arms after Aaron Swartz…
Asiandvdclub (not the shady remake)
What.cd. - RED is great but there’s still a hole…
He is referring to turning Lemmy code itself into a decentralized tracker software.
A torrent post to Lemmy that your client would download Meta data from etc.
Yup. No clue on cause etc. even some services on the irc are hosed.
Edit: in some other irc, saw word it’s being worked on and status ”wonky"
Tech issue seems. Don’t think a takedown or malfeasance.
If you are decent with script type stuff, and have tasker, I believe you can build your own via kwgt:

You can use tasker to set up variables that kwgt then can render in several ways.
I’ve only done simpler things but it’s worked well for me for years.
I’d be interested in this as well, and would love to help test if you would like.
This is pretty slick, thank you for sharing the link!
This was one of the best things I’ve watched in a long long time. Thank you for sharing. I was 2 years old when this was recorded, but much of her talk resonates as urgently current and valuable.
For others who might be interested in similar, Douglas Englebart and his team discuss many similar aspects of looking forward toward where we are headed, through the lense of history.
Seriously the media needs to use more words like these… “Penetration” , “Thrusting into” , "etc …
It would just grate on 'ol Pootie so nicely.
That server sounds a bit older in the teeth… Has new thermal paste been applied to the cpu? Even if the reported temps are under 90c, you might be getting hot spots causing glitches inside the package.
Worth trying a couple of different generations of kernel as well, both newer and older. You might be hitting a regression somewhere.
This. If my parents hadn’t been gracious enough to die painfully from cancer, this would have been the next option.
Not all elders deserve support, respect or compassion.
Holy crap that is comprehensive. Great timing since I’m about to wipe and redo my server from scratch.
Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely this. Save trouble.
If absolutely in need of a backplane, look for old chassis parts from super micro on eBay.
You are still removing others rights over a hypothetical. It doesn’t miss this, it directly focuses on the point of blame. Punish the parents for exposing their kids. Irresponsibility is not excuse for harm… If a parent leaves hardcore porn laying around for a child to find and harm occurs, don’t punish the uninvolved adult up the street.
Another form of media doesn’t magically absolve parents from parental responsibility. Stop trying to play the “poor adults have no control over their kids!” Card.
The “but think of the children!!!” trope is tired and over abused to remove rights and privacy. Move along.
How about less “control everyone else” and more “control your own damn kids”.
My daughter didn’t get unsupervised access until she proved responsible enough to trust. I want to say around 13.
Just because “I grew up with it unsupervised and it ruined me” doesn’t immediately equal “everyone will have this experience”. Sorry your parents didn’t understand what you were doing. Sorry you saw stuff that bothered you. Don’t punish everyone else for it.
I’m far from a helicopter parent… Instead, my kid has come to me for help in resolving uncomfortable or problematic interactions. We’ve always been clear and honest about why we’ve asked her to avoid certain things. Even when it made us uncomfortable. Especially then.
She’s 20 now. Most cheerful kid I’ve ever met. No idea how that happened directly, but I know I can trust her.
Ironically mine started without nefarious connotations… The family computer in the mid 80s was a minor novelty to me for ages, only good for simple text games really. Then…
My brother grabbed a cracked game toward 1990 off a BBS. The game itself I don’t even remember, but it had a cracktro that stunned me. Graphics I’d never seen, actual music out our little adlib card… Was crazy enticing.
Being stuck in the Midwest US while enamored with DemoScene is a hell of a drug. Every few kb down that modem was like crack.
That then opened a new world of games as well… Things my older brother had no interest in. Things my parents obviously would not have allowed. You know… The Good Shit ™️.
Obviously once codecs caught up video and audio quickly became a thing. My closest buddy and I would burn stack after stack of CDs to take a spindle at a time over to share between us and others.
Then the data hoarding set in… What good is just having these shiny things for yourself when you can share? True joy doesn’t exist without spreading it to others.
The sickness persists… Stronger than ever despite becoming a pessimistic old man. Multiple gigabit connections: check. 200tb arrays just for torrents: check. Seed times tracked in years: check.
Remember when 14.4k was the most epic thing for grabbing those disks at lightning speed? I certainly do.
Expected giant glowing truck nuts.
Run SMART short tests on your drives. Any “pending sectors” at all are failure.
If the test has any problems, especially pending sectors, replace the drive.
Well I’m just gonna have to pirate it EVEN HARDER.
