Not only was it hard to get the subscription, but it was hard to get it in your country if you weren’t US

I don't

Just remember that this is no longer Reddit and you're likely welcomed to post links to things for other Lemmy users to find.

tl;dr bit torrent is just a way to overcome file distribution issues in a secure and repeatable way and by secure I don't mean private and yes vpn can work if implemented correctly but theres lots of failure modes for vpns which will leak your info. Just about any old turd with php skills and no real knowledge of how privacy works can spin up a legitimate enough looking vpn company to dip into all of the people looking to skirt Netflix rules.

I said specifically "in that protocol" all bit torrent does is it breaks down everything to a hash that can be looked up in a dht wich holds all of the addresses of the individuals sharing that hashed data. I'm not wrong. You can always have a vpn I mean look how hard China tries to stop vpns and still will likely never really nail it down so long as cryptography on the internet is necessary. They would have to deploy Red Star Linux and a whole gestapo to randomly audit chinese citizens computers directly. So long as we have open source hardware keeping big tech and five eyes etc countries and spy agencies a touch more honest we will have lots of ways around all of the censorship and antipiracy trashbags.

Why one silo to a worse one

There’s almost no way to really hide you as a user in that protocol.

I had someone explain to me how it really isn't a privacy concern to use usenet but financially it does feel like a bit of a bamboozle but you have to realize that usenet often will max out your download speed which is pretty nice and it has some magic that prevents people from knowing what you're trying to access so it's likely worth the like $10/mo

my first impulse is to say does bit torrent? Secondly usenet is an ancient protocol so maybe? Honestly have no idea

Likely because Usenet still works and so does xdcc via irc.

I was hoping that would happen

It’s so easy to hate that company

Honestly I am just going off of my preconceptions on this golang presumption. I tend to bet often that a rust or go based product is going to win out in most cases.

It was a joke and a jab at Google. But how does rust get hacked. That’s unnerving

Curate your feed better.

Old boy the original

Google did write golang and Google likes killing everything it touches Lemmy is written in go…

I would imagine this is the same with bans I imagine there will be a future reputation watchdog set of servers which might be used over this whole everyone follows the same modlog. The concept of trust everyone out of the gate seems a little naive

This looks incredible I think since toptal completely ruined hastebin this might be a future favorite if its easy enough to host it has a few issues like it seems to want MongoDB which is a humungous con to all of the pro's with this app and if you can eventually pipe text through the cli to this thing it would be a perfect replacement.

one of my favorite uses for ----bin's is being able to pipe log output to a URL using curl or something to get logs out of a server to a dev somewhere for debugging and foss reporting.

One of the things we used hastebin for was a /debugpaste which would instantly dump debug info and the last 1000 lines of the syslog to a hastebin. would be useful to replicate this using this.
