Usenet is older than torrenting. Significantly older. Even older than the WWW IIRC… Every few years the newer generation “discovers it” and realizes you can totally saturate your connection, even with relatively obscure things that would typically need a significant number of seeds to be able to do.

And then it falls to the wayside again, because retention times kinda suck as no one wants to keep petabytes of data for ultra-long term. That and most of the indexers still alive today fucking suck.

How reliable are the infos from iknowwhatyoudownloaded.com?

100% accurate. Either you, or someone who has/has had your IP (CGNAT) has downloaded those torrents in one way or another.

Still using spaceship. lmao.

What is a good approach to deploy docker images on a Raspberry Pi and run them?

See if they have a git repository and just clone then build the image yourself.

Ahh yes, as evidenced by absolutely nothing whatsoever, I mean Jesus Christ, the GNU ideologue is completely antithetical in every possible way to your statement…

GNU’s goal is to give computer users freedom and control in their use of their computers and computing devices by collaboratively developing and publishing software that gives everyone the rights to freely run the software, copy and distribute it, study it, and modify it.

You have less than zero idea what you’re speaking about…

Likely. What I said has more to do with “we’re next.” If this is successful in France, other countries will follow suit or at the very least get pressure from the IP lobby to follow.

The population of just Europe, Canada and the USA is a combined is over 1 billion.

Congratulations? This has absolutely nothing at all to do with what I’ve said. Not even tangentially. I’m expressly and singularly speaking of France here. EU, Canada and the US combined populations change nothing about what I’ve said at all…

You look to be fighting a wet paper bag here… Sad to see honestly.

Population of France is 66.6 (lol) million people. If even 1% use VPNs that’s a potential market of 666,000 users. At ~$5/mo per user that’s a prospectus of $40 million annually. If I were a VPN provider I would absolutely want a piece of that pie rather than not, and all’s they have to do is follow the law–exactly as they have been this entire time…

So yeah, I absolutely think they’re going to comply.

I don’t think it’s wrong to bitch about the standards fragmentation in linux. For better or worse, it’s a serious issue within linux. Apple, for example has a closed ecosystem which is bad, but they have great ecosystem cohesion which is great for app development and reliable interaction between applications. IMO the cohesion to standards is one of the only good things iOS has going for it.

1. They will comply
2. The rest of us won’t be far behind

They stand to lose a good portion of their business if they can’t service France. They’ll comply.

Depends on what you go for. I got my BS and MS entirely with *nix. There are some niche programs for specific majors which did not have alternatives and/or ways to run on *nix, so don’t be disappointed if you can’t find a solution.

Seems dubious, and will only work locally…

Probably the funniest linux meme I’ve seen in a few years. Nice.

VPN… This is a specific problem that VPNs were created to solve.

On your Wireguard network (or whichever), note your vLAN IPs, and configure rclone/rsync with them like normal. Ensure you’re connected to Wireguard and then run your command;

❯ fd --change-older-than 30days -X rclone sync phone:my/path/here pc:destination/path/here

Using a VPN ensures that regardless of WiFi/Cellular connections you’ll still be able to transfer at home, or remotely. Using methods like hostnames only work locally.

I didn’t imply that Zorin was proprietary. I’m demeaning the actions of pay-walling a free OS as a proprietary action.

If you want to support a *nix distro, that’s awesome and I fully support you. What you shouldn’t support is distributions locking features behind a paywall.

This is how you get Microsoft Windows and Copilot.

To answer your question–Windows is destructive to *nix boot sectors. When you update Windows, it will bork your *nix install. Dual booting with Windows is a real PITA.

I’d like to keep using borg+vorta, but unfortunately no native windows support just yet.

Borg keeps my cluster running, but the fact that I can’t use it on desktop makes me sad.

SOPA.

Haha okay awesome.
