Open source is about ideas being freely shared and iterated on. Open hardware has benefits, making a lot of things more accessible to people. It’s not the end all of sustainability, but it doesn’t pretend to be either.

I see season 1-9 packs on both IPT and TL.

To be fair that’s a pretty recent development. Jellyfin apps for smart tvs are only just becoming stable enough for real use. Plex was the only option for a long time.

S1m0ne 2: crypto boogaloo

There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn’t really care about ad revenue.

The headline gives a bad first impression but I think the text itself has an interesting point. As it stands right now (in the US) the AI gatekeepers can’t copyright any of their output. So each and every piece of generated media is one more piece added to the public domain pile. Most of it is worthless but if there’s anything worth building on someone or someones can do that.

All renewable energy comes from the sun, which is a giant fusion reactor. Seems like it might be a good idea to study and understand the concept.

How far apart are your 2 communities and what size user base are you expecting?

If they’re closeish there are probably some point to point network options you could experiment with for a low bandwidth backup link.

Expected users really just determines if you need things like load balancing, identity management, etc.

Until I was reading about this project I had never heard of it. And I would consider myself pretty plugged into torrent news.

The included docker compose was very easy to use. I was up and running in just a few minutes.

DHT crawling started immediately which was pretty cool to see.

Sometime later this week I’ll try integrating it into my arr stack.

Joke’s on them, I could already browse the internet.

You’re pretty nuts, huh?

During the Communist revolution the republic government was losing pretty badly and fell back to the very defensible island. They’ve been there ever since with their official name: the Republic of China. So there’s some civil war tension there and a lot of claims of who’s the rightful ruler of China.

Unless they start offering on-prem or there are some very high profile server hacks I don’t see that being possible. Unlike media and client software they don’t need to provide the core functionality to end users, just the output.

Interesting, sounds more like a bug than a feature. Looking at my instance, I can’t find any examples of posts not displaying in the subscribed feed that do appear in the community feed. Is it affecting both local and federated communities?

What sort are you using? If you’re using a time based sort like Top 6 Hours it will exclude older content.

If you sort by New are you still missing posts?

I’ve been a pretty heavy torrent user for years. I’m not sure when everyone came to the conclusion that VPNs were necessary. If you stick to slightly older media on public trackers and private for really new hype stuff you’re very unlikely to get hit. Plus one letter from your isp isn’t the end of the world and you can always kick on a VPN after your first one.

Film companies aren’t generally in the business of selling the rights to their products. As you say, it’s a cash cow they can keep milking for years. They can re-release the same film on new platforms and continually contract it out to different streaming platforms for years. Why would they sell you a distribution license in perpetuity for anything resembling an reasonable cost?

I just use the web interface like I normally do. The mobile version of the site is fine.

How are you normally using it?

I’m just not super into wacky stuff chatGPT says content. It produces these super long walls of text that way overstay their welcome.
