“If there were enough people who cared about trans lives to actually change the outcome of the election, you wouldn’t need the law to protect them – you could just make them do it.”

Please God tell me I’m misreading this. People in Texas can just get fucked I guess?

so suppose you let trump win to spite the dnc. then what? what are you going to tell all the people whose rights are being taken away?

The system isn’t closed though. More people join the tracker all the time, and that’s to say nothing of the people who already have access to the tracker downloading a new file.

Huzzah! A Linux phone with specs that wouldn’t have looked pathetic five years ago!

Actually, those specs are comparable to the Pixel 7a I’m writing this on at a slightly cheaper price! Has the era of the Linux phone begun?

Come on, man, AVR chips aren’t SoCs except in the technical sense.

have a >1 ratio to download anything which is impossible by definition

They give you a bit of leniency after you first sign up. All that share ratio means is that you leave your computer seeding for a while after your download finishes, and when your torrent client has uploaded the file you got from them to e.g. 5 other people you can stop seeding it. They’re asking you to give back, is all. If you download a 3GB file from other people in the swarm and then immediately close the torrent before anybody can download it from you, after enough repeat times of you doing that, they’ll stop letting you download new files.

Trackers cannot read, and are not interested in, the number at the bottom of your torrent client, or your history with other trackers. They just care that you seed their torrents after you’ve finished downloading them so other people can download them too.

Everybody always says this, but I’ve yet to talk to anyone who even has an anecdote of talking to a Gen Z person for whom that’s true.

Aren’t those metallophones? Last I checked glockenspiels were a different (and much smaller) critter

I cannot help but notice that Elijah just outed himself as a brony

For now. If Google succeeds at doing this it won’t be.

I’ve never heard of Wormhole before now but by the looks of things:

• croc is open source
• croc does not store files on the server at all, ever – it waits for both ends of the connection to be open to start the transfer
• croc cannot do true P2P – the sender uploads to the croc server which then streams it in realtime to the receiver
• croc does not work in the browser :(

for a true browser based p2p solution that uses WebRTC I’d suggest www.sharedrop.io

croc is a good solution for this if true P2P stuff fails

ootl-- what happened in 2020?

Comcast has finally gotten around to giving hosts inside the firewall publicly routable IPv6 addresses, but port forwarding (which, by the way, can only be done through Xfinity’s website or mobile app which then connect to and configure the router through the ISP interface – if you go to the port forward configuration in the router’s webui, all you’ll see is a message that it’s now “easier than ever” to configure port forwards) can only happen on IPv4. Want to open a hole in the IPv6 firewall? Well that’s just too fucken bad.

Well first off, if you’re building a NAS, build it out of drives that are rated for NAS use. Seagate’s IronWolf line is a bit pricier than their BarraCuda but has better transfer speeds and (more importantly) better resiliency to vibration, which is important if you’re putting a half dozen drives in the same enclosure and don’t want them to fail prematurely.

I’m definitely not here to defend hexbear but have you scrolled their front page for even 10 seconds

I don’t hate change, I hate Putin apologism from a space that claims to be left wing.

More to the point I hate brain dead takes like “voting is not harm reduction and if you don’t go 3rd party in 2024 you’re no better than a fascist”

tbf Tooning Out The News (which I think this is from) is basically that

Maybe it’s been a while but last I checked in the admin of poa.st was bragging about being homophobic

this is some serious Bosnian Ape Society shit.
