The defense adds that the similarity between defendant’s social media handle, ‘anarchivist’, and Anna’s Archive is insufficient to support the claims. The same applies to other facts, including her previous occupation as a catalog librarian.

They’re grasping at straws. Viva Anna’s Archive.

Now you’re stuck in the backrooms. The lights turn off. You hear a loud growl.

Creepy! Don’t let them get away with this. I have t-mobile, do they do this?

Teach us your ways

How are they gonna site block? If they block through the ISP’s DNS, change your DNS. If they block through IP, well America is turning into China with its great firewall lol. Either way, if they manage to take down piratebay (good luck) we should run our own DHT crawlers like Bitmagnet (https://bitmagnet.io/), or torrent through i2p

This is to be expected, corporations will fight tooth and nail for every penny. We need to fight back to make piracy resilient regardless of the whims of the MPA and the law. Because piracy transcends the law.

Fair

More brazen crackdown of piracy, DNS-level or maybe even IP-level blocking. Complete overhaul of the infrastructure of the internet to make it more "corporate friendly."

We got to remember that piracy, whose backbone is the bittorrent peer-to-peer network, exists because the current infrastructure of the internet allows users to open their ports and allow people from all over the world to request media from them. The internet infrastructure is controlled by the government, who is controlled by corporate overlords. As of right now, the government has (imperfectly) worked hard to retain the neutrality of the internet, but we might be losing this battle folks.

I've always advocated for i2p (https://geti2p.net/en/) because it allows us to be more resilient to the current infrastructure, with the added bonus of not needing a VPN to download stuff. It would be lovely to see you all at tracker2.postman.i2p :-) Yeah, speed might be an issue but it'll get better once there are faster nodes in the network. I2p allows people to participate in the network even when behind a CGNAT and unable to forward their ports, as is the case with a lot of restrictive ISPs.

This comment right here is the sanest in this thread

“Bit of a pain” lol you just link an invidious instance from https://invidio.us

Great app recommendation tho :)

I did not know it was run by a VC funded company. Isn’t it open source and audited though? https://simplex.chat/blog/20221108-simplex-chat-v4.2-security-audit-new-website.html

Either way, if one needs to communicate without the use of identifiers like a phone number (afaik signal requires one) I trust Session. SimpleX features cool new tech but let’s wait until it matures

Session messenger allows you to chat without linking a phone number to your account. It’s what drug dealers use lol.

my catholic upbringing forbids me T_T

If i paid for every required college textbook I would be broke. I'm already broke now, but that's a different story.

I’m a hobbyist so i don’t really care about stability. Arch is wonderful because of the wealth of packages. On debian based distros you have to mess around with adding repos, installing via .deb files, and maybe even building some obscure programs from source. But with arch 99% of the programs can be run either through pacman or yay, so there’s more of a unified way to upgrade and maintain packages on my system. So in a way, for my usecase, arch is actually quite stable :). EndeavourOS is also quite good, in my opinion endeavour is to arch as linux mint is to debian

Arch also has the Java implementation of i2p in the AUR. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/i2p.

A couple of hours, it was only like 470 MB. Although I put in the torrent at night and let my dedicated router do its thing and it’s ready for me during the day. Theoretically you can get away with 1 hop but i don’t really care about speed; the torrent will complete sooner or later. For regular browsing of i2p 3 hops is recommended though. If i’m not paying for it i don’t complain about waiting tbh xD

In hindsight, i probably should’ve sticked to the linux-lts kernel and used an older version of nvidia drivers that didn’t have the out-of-order frames issue

Postgres is what the cool kids use these days i think

I agree with you and that’s not what this post is about :)

Huh. I stand corrected. You only ever do need uBlock. Thanks

huh, look what i found https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/25/a-developer-exploited-an-api-flaw-to-provide-free-access-to-gpt-4/
