Tried asking on the comm’s Signal chat?
These articles always get me thinking about filesharing doomsday. That theoretical point in time when our governments go full China and enact their own national firewalls/other scheme of effective P2P connection surveillance; when you need to know for certain that you’ve downloaded enough (and that your storage game is good enough) to last decades of leisure time, perhaps even a lifetime’s worth.
Note the complete 180 in priorities since the Russian’s arrest. It may as well be a FAGMAN product soon.
Send one my way, please
Seconding this. The figures are too rubbery for headlines like this to have any meaning.
The public internet is for P2P exchange as well, no matter how much gov/corp tries to stymie it. I2P has its merits, but it would be sad to see it take off purely because people ceded the former territory for an obscure network layer.
sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.

The easiest tool is MakeMKV. But you’ll often encounter opportunities for efficiency (eg stereo DTSHD to FLAC) as well as requirements to convert* for hardware compatibility. That’s where ffmpeg and MKVToolNix are good secondary tools for customizing the remux contents.
*Not transcoding. Rather, lossless formet 1 -> lossless format 2.
Why would Greece, like any other net importer of IP, care about this any more than it historically has? Could the sudden change in focus be at the behest of a foreign country? Really jogs the noggin
You know that quote by Gabe Newell that gets posted all the time in this comm? The perceptive one that we all like to treat as the end of the matter?
Well its truth is matched only by its extraordinary naivete. IP interests are not going to invest in competitive service delivery. They are going to invest in technical solutions that remove the need for competitive service delivery altogether. Only once the high-margin options are exhausted will they relent, and start the hard work of building something value-for-money. Doing the right thing is a last resort.
Nothing surpsises me about a single small sectional interest (football copyright) being able to wreak such havoc and inequity on a whole nation. Italian standards of governance are a joke.
One of the best YT lectures on censorship I’ve come across is Ada Palmer’s “Why We Censor: from the Inquisition to the Internet”. It lays out the universal nature of such regimes, including their slapdash conception and setup, and the arbitrary and indiscriminate targeting they engage in thanks to how co-optable they are.

In terms ot total data moved, I have 2.4TiB up on a Star Trek full season pack, for a ~35 ratio. That torrent’s been around for years and I suspect won’t die for many years yet. Oldest seeded torrent would be about 8 years.
This is behind NAT, 12mbits upstream.
The war on personal computing coupled with a potential war on BYOD…it makes you wonder at what point normie starts figuring it out.
Honestly I hope it shuts down. This provider caters to racists, fascists, misogynists and the like.
Who gives a fuck? Corporate social media cater to idiots too, just more common varieties.
Why does it matter what Kanye tweets about if I enjoy his music? Why do the politics of my favorite FOSS program’s maintainer matter, or what commentary they include in documentation, or the presence/lack of a flag in a social media handle? Why does it matter that a public demonstration I’m at has some fellow demonstraters whose lifestyles/politics I find abhorrent?
All you advertise to the world with this fearful mindset is that your behaviour will change on a dime given the slightest chance of bad optics. It’s a rotten way to live life.
Governments and marketers absolutely love people who think like that.

This comms near-constant links to media coverage of what the Empire is up to. I’d like to see some information about what the Alliance is doing about it, so I can work out who to fund and raise awareness for. How organized is the Euro equivalent of the EFF? The Can/Aus equivalent?
