5·1 month agoYou maybe right about the authoritarian part, but I guarantee you they don’t know a thing about technology - evidenced by their unwillingness to listen to experts on matters like the Online Safety Act or on trying to outlaw e2ee. Starmer made Peter Kyle Secretary of State for Science, who said “For everyone thinking of using a VPN, verifying your age keeps a child safe … so let’s not try find a way around, just prove your age, make the internet safer for children.” Authoritarian certainly is an adjective to describe these people, but so also is clueless.
Nah. The monarchy absolutely is not part of our identity. More importantly, they don’t have any part in making decisions - parliament and the current govt. do.
We have some croaky institutions (the Lords) and a stupid voting system (first past the post - just like the U.S) but the monarchy is just a figurehead with some unfair land ownership laws - but the monarchy itself has no authority on this. Today’s bs comes down to heir Starmer’s cluelessness/arrogance.
3·2 months agoHave 3x such WD Reds 3TBs with average ~100K hours power on each, 34.77 years total.
Spent most of that time in a HP Microserver N54L Windows 2012 R2 server with DrivePool, Scanner and SnapRAID. Now they’re in a custom build Proxmox in RAIDZ1. Have no intention of retiring them. :)

21·2 months agoBiglyBT (aka Vuze previously Azureus) has a decentralised chat feature akin to IRC. It’s not very active but it’s technically very interesting and still working. Rooms can be based on per-torrent, language, region, general purpose and even custom.
It’s a crying shame more people didn’t adopt AceStream. It functioned exceptionally well, when the streaming sites put up links (hashes basically) instead of just http5 web streams. The fact it wasn’t open source probably didn’t help, but it did have a modified VLC client and was truly P2P.
TERF island or the 4th Reich
I get wanting to boycott Israelis due to what their government is doing, but you do realise blocking (the good-ish) half of America is gonna seriously hamper your ability to complete torrents? And if you think the UK is full of TERFs, you probably need to verify your news sources and statistical acumen. You shouldn’t always tar with the same brush…
Aside from this, on a technical merit this is gonna have absolutely zero effect - because in a torrent, you’re part of a mesh - those bits will instantly funnel through peers one way or another, and you’ll never convince enough of the swarm to have an impact. Presumably, the ‘content’ you’re torrenting aligns with your personal ethics anyway, and you’re not spreading hate. So why bother?
Complete and utter waste of time.
Is this really much of an issue? They provide documentation and a repository of scripts for working with WG for instance. And I’ve been using this docker container for many years without issue.
