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…
Several of my utility companies and bank sites do this still. It’s absurd and in the stranger places.
What pisses me off is seeing more and more “You need to upgrade your browser for this site!” when using Firefox.
Having to use a spoof header gets frustrating frequently too.
Asiandvdclub (not the shady remake)
What.cd. - RED is great but there’s still a hole…
Oooo this is super timely! I think this weekend is about to be all about my wiping the last of the family game laptops of the Windows menace before they get forced 24h2 crapola.
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.
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.
“Choose interesting jobs”
THIS! A MILLION TIMES THIS!
The absolute best career choices I’ve made, in hindsight, were always from the interest in the work or quality of whom I was working with.
Took jobs for less pay, even turning down much higher offers, to choose the gig that was in the area I wanted to expand in.
Never accept just based on “it’s a few bucks more”. Unless it’s twice the pay AND you have something else to gain from the role, always grab the better experience or less stressful spot.
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.
Holy crap that is comprehensive. Great timing since I’m about to wipe and redo my server from scratch.
Thanks for sharing!
Hate to break it to you, but CrowdStrike falcon is used on Linux too…
Absolutely this. Save trouble.
If absolutely in need of a backplane, look for old chassis parts from super micro on eBay.
He doesn’t get older, just more and more apparent he was right this whole time
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.
I’d put on some relaxing beats and take the long way… No need to really hurry.
Might just enjoy the drive for a while.
First time reading this, thought talking about MS Windows for just a moment…
“You get back in the dumpster where you belong!”
Well I’m just gonna have to pirate it EVEN HARDER.
