old, stupid
paranoia-level anonymyty doesnt happen by default. this guy failed to due his due diligence to utilize a anonymous payment method, and that was literally the only piece of data it took 2 governments to get out of proton.
how any of that equates to proton doing something wrong is baffling to me.
theyre fascists. feels like the country/govt venn is just a circle to them.
patriotism is like an incredibly rich fudge. a little dab will do ya
for some reason conservatives lack any ability to self control… theyve essentially poisoned what sliver of goof patriotism stood for…
it will now, and forever be equivalent to ‘racist asshole’ in the united states. no takin that one back
ive been anticipating this for awhile… if you really want to be anonymous you will not use your own words verbatum… need some kind of semantic filter
just checked, i paid ‘frugal usenet’ 35$/year… bit more than i remember at just under 3.00/month.
thats scented sticker money
sure but usenet access is stupidly cheap. i think im payin like 1$/month.
i spend more on stickers.
we can barely get adoption of nsfw tagging/metadata…
that said, this is prolly somewhat already trivial by setting an os/global environment var. and just having that bubbled up to the browser/app level. theres already paths for this to be used, but again… adoption is far more difficult than the technology required.
youll have the best luck by adding a nzb indexer… ive enjoyed nzbgeek
its cheap and has decreased my time-to-mediacenter drastically… the public torrent indexers kinda pale in comparison.
i like to have them all in there, but the usenet/nzb stuff seems to flow the fastest as theres generally more likely a matching file of %quality.
ive been buildin ‘solutions’ like this for 30 years. what the llms have done is reduce my time to maybe a few minutes, and lowers the barrier to entry to the technically ignorant.
lowering that barrier still leaves a non-insignificant portion who want it bundled up and handed to them with a bow on it. plenty of people are happy to pay for a supported product and have no desire to attempt resolving the underlying issue/resource themselves.
but zmodem can totally restart an interrupted tx!
entire nas (~24TB used) is replicated to another nas in another building (2 actually). i like having 3 copies.
is that person suffering a stroke? are they ok?
500$/day? fuck that shit. it should be a whole fucking number % of your salary per fucking day
reddit is having a conversation is some dudes house. lots of rooms. his house.
lemmy is having a conversation in a large public space where anyone could be listening in. your words are no more retractable than the sound of your voice over an open field or street corner.
the fediverse is an incredibly public place, so im always curious how thats spose to gel with very privacy-conscious users.
deep pockets? im suckin up ~25GB/month… and im not even kind of getting everything.
traffic volume is already a serious consideration, but theroetically its what you request. its not like an instance comes up and suddenly needs to interact with 500 other servers.
if you on your personal instance decide you need to subscribe to thousands of communities on thousands of servers… isnt that kinda on you? i mean… how could you personally ever expect to consume that volume?
if youre on a community instance and the instance itself is drawing a metric fuckton of traffic… scale up. the good platforms will scale.
that said, ive kinda tried to sub to every server i can find just for giggles… it ‘pre-loads’ the content on my instant for new users in the ‘newest’ queues.
there are mitigations you can put in place for rate-limiting other servers also… your server would just fall farther and farther behind
personally, i think it scales better than other options. bluesky doesnt scale at all
pfft. ive cut better lines than yours before.
