What happened to networks like eMule, WinMX, DC++, and so on?

I like the concept. It helps with not having to rewrite the same stuff over and over again. It's like a package registry. Whether it's implemented well is debatable of course and it's understandable you don't like it.
They aren't being actively developed are they? And do they are windows only too, last time I checked.
The only good thing about Github Actions is the "marketplace" or that you can publish and find actions. The rest is just... not the way I'd do CI. I'm so glad I don't have to touch that anymore. Only thing worse than Github CI is Jenkins. Shudder
Thank you for sharing Post Open. I like that idea. We need a solution to companies just leeching off of opensource projects and not contributing back. It looks like a good initiative.
Had the same experience with chromium. Can't remember what I was trying to do but it involved accessing hardware (GPU or something) and it just didn't work. That was until I found out apt install chromium installed a goddamn snap package. I felt betrayed and lied to.
Canonical does great things, but that is definitely not one of them.
Good luck! I hope it all works out for ya 🙂
I wouldn't make such a prediction as there are many possibilities and people like hanging onto things. One possible outcome could be the introduction of UBI, which could allow people only pursue the jobs or activities the want. That could be upskilling to become a research, becoming a race car driver, or a streamer, starting a company using AI, traveling the world, helping out the elderly, and so much more. There would still be production and consumption with popular products making some companies richer than others, but it could lead to a happier populace within a capitalistic system.
Of course there are dystopian scenarios like cleansing of the unemployed, remigration of the homeless, forced labor, and so much more that could keep the capitalistic system alive.
You can use transmission just for creating the torrent. You don't have to use the actual client. If qbittorrent is your client, it's possible to add the torrents to the list at the same time with
sh
for folder in * ; do
transmission-create -o "$folder.torrent" "$folder"
qbittorrent --save-path="$folder" "$folder.torrent"
done
Then you create the torrent and start seeding it immediately. If you've already created the torrent files
sh
for torrentFile in **/*.torrent ; do
folderName="$(basename -s .torrent "$torrentFile")"
folderParent="$(dirname "$torrentFile")"
folderPath="$folderName/$folderParent"
qbittorent --save-path="$folderPath" "$torrentFile"
done
Depending on the setup, you could also just sym link the folder into qbittorrent's download directory and copy your torrents into a folder that qbittorrent listens to. There are many ways to skin the cat. Check out the command line parameters for your torrent client.
Alright, but what is your point?
Hmm, creating torrents isn't that hard.
sh
for folder in * ; do
transmission-create -o "$folder.torrent" "$folder"
done
You can add a tracker by adding the --tracker "$trackerUrl" option. There isn't much more scripting involved, AFAIK, unless you want to upload them to the tracker too. But if you join the DHT and share the magnet links somewhere, you should be done. Or is there more to the process I'm missing?
Hmmm, is your goal to share each season folder separately? Is that why you would need scripting?
Or are you looking to share everything at once without worrying about creating individual torrents? If this is what you're looking for, then maybe Retroshare is what you're looking for? I don't know if stuff using eDonkey, Gnutella, or Kademlia are still around, but retroshare has file-sharing similar to those where you point the client at a folder and it just shares the entire thing.
IPFS would've been great for this, but they honestly screwed the pooch on that (it hogs resources, doesn't have good clients, and doesn't have a bridge to torrents or other networks i.e you can't go "oh, I have a torrent file, let me see if the files for this are on IPFS and download them from there").
Adapt or die. Societies that do not adapt to these changes will not have a good time. It's easy to ignore workers and just say "well, you're replaced, now fuck off". If the government doesn't take care of them and keep them happy, it could easily have negative consequences for the government.
Imagine if 30% of the workforce were fired within 5 years and couldn't get a job because AI did everything. Would 30% of the population just be happy going from something to homeless? How would the country absorb such a change? Governments can keep looking at the shiny money companies pay them to look the other way, but just because they ignore to see things doesn't mean they aren't happening. Either they are forward thinking and prepare or they will find themselves up a creek.
As an example: a company starts a free tier offering with no promises. It can sustain that because there are enough free users that convert into paying users - enough to sustain the free tier. But times change and the cost of free tier users surpasses that of paying users. Should the company continue providing the same level of service for free tier users?
Also, what other term than entitlement would you use for somebody gets something for free, is not promised that it will stay free forever, the free offering is cancelled or limited, and the user starts complaining?

I think it's a good attempt, but I'm not sure how it can be enforced. It would also need to be applicable to different jurisdictions. The project maintainer would have to know that somebody requesting a feature, commenting or participating in discussions is doing so in the name of the company 🤔
Thank you for sharing this. It's food for thought.
Walk us through the steps you're taking. I'm curious how many there are and why you think there have to be that many.
Is this dude complaining that an offering he pays absolutely nothing for is reducing how much free stuff they give out? Seems quite entitled... like the people demanding opensource devs implement something and never contributing back.
We should let these twits enjoy their shit on twitter. The AI hype is just like the crypto hype, it'll fade.
The name vibe coding sounds like a drunk evening with friends getting an MVP off the ground, but nothing more.
I have to stop clicking on the phoronix comment section. It's like a mini Twitter.
Still, Ubuntu should also ditch snap instead of hanging onto it just because they wrote it. It's the reason I don't recommend Ubuntu to friends anymore.
Sshfs should work with a local IDE like CLion from Jetbrains (although that's pay to use, it's the best C++ IDE I know of).
Out of curiosity, what's wrong with qtcreator in VNC viewer? Qtcreator should provide code completion, going to definitions, expanding macros, and so on.
MuWire? I thought that was dead. The main dev blew a gasket over something and archived it. I see it's out of archival now, but I do wonder what brought him back.
I didn't expect eMule and Gnutella to still be active, but probably didn't know because I'm on Linux and their clients are Windows only. Others have pointed out linux builds that I somehow hadn't found until now.
