  • finishing torrents and seeding question

    Jump

  • A torrent software that breaks your big/video file sharing while calling it complete seems somewhat questionable, not following a good practice, for the reasons you said.

    qBittorrent stores the partial file data of deselected files as generic files. Given that only with it the download and a recheck marks the big file complete, without it a recheck considers the big file unfinished (and if partial files are renamed it is despite being complete as a file), I presume it will also send out the block that is partially that file and another to other peers too.

    If the other file is fully in the partial block qBittorrent even creates the files despite not having been selected for downloading.

  • They mention deindexing from browse and search. I understand this to mean you can still visit and buy the products, and list the publisher's titles on their publisher's page.

    That's far from "banning". And doesn't prevent the supporting creators and browsing their catalog - the use-case OP described.

  • Cloudflare gets involved in the battle against piracy, blocking streaming websites in the UK — and VPNs won't help

    Jump

  • This doesn't make sense.

    They say "endpoint in the UK" and "VPN Server in the UK", and that they could not confirm whether outside the UK would still block.

    Cloudflare blocks UK requests. If you use a VPN you choose which country you send the requests from.

    Cloudflare as a separate entity from the VPN provider can't know where requests originally came from. That's the whole point of the VPN.

    There is nothing new here. The article seems to misunderstand and to misrepresent.

  • Does a vpn really matter when torenting? Do people care?

  • Adding another free alternative; The free Cloudflare Warp for a semi-VPN. You can't choose your output node, but your traffic gets routed through their network.

    It can run in proxy mode as well if you prefer only your torrent traffic being routed through it.

  • Do I need to say more?

    Yes. Did the notices cost you anything, or did you ignore them without consequences?

  • I presume it's based on their legal cost of the three previous cases.

    I agree it's very low in terms of cost of business, as legal cost, or seeking damages.

  • How to download fonts from MyFonts using Inspect Element?

    Jump

  • They don't embed the fonts on the website. They render previews as images. You can't download them from previews. You'll have to buy to get them according to their terms.

  • The blocking system can be real-time without the source list being updated immediately upon change evaluation requests.

    Such lists will most definitely have false positives added, and way too many outdated entries because nobody managing them or requesting changes has an interest or investment in keeping the list up-to-date (beyond adding new entries for themselves) and narrow.

    Even with juridical review, I'm not very hopeful about its quality in terms of technical expertise and nuanced and appropriate application.

  • [is this LEGIT ?] Piracy Stewie on Instagram: "Free chat gpt tutorial!! Halal method at the end!!"

  • You could have at least transformed the inaccessible video form into text.

    It seems like they're referring to https://github.com/Batlez/ChatGPT-Jailbroken/, where you can check the source code.

    To me it looks like all that does is make some kind of placeholder replacement, and there's some kind of custom prompt storage and retrieval.

    Either way, if it does what you expect it to, doing more than intended by the service provider, it only works until they fix some checks or make some UI changes, and they may hold you accountable for evading technical measures to gain more than you subscribed (and paid) for.

    Personally, I wouldn't trust integrating a random third party logic on a registered service. At the very least, I would disable auto-updating or copy/fork it.

    I don't see them claiming it being "safe to download". I assume you're taking the implication or assumption as advocation and a safety assessment.

    Depending on what you mean by "safe", no it's not safe.

    I'm not familiar with the ChatGPT service in particular.

  • Pay what? A physical copy? A digital license for streaming on a platform? A digital rental? A month of streaming service that includes it? Taking free access and public libraries (like public broadcasting libraries), temporary or time-limited into account? There's way too much variance to make any reasonable assessment on this.

    To get an idea of price variance, even without monthly services, which make individual consumption cheaper still, let's look at the value of digital products on Steam.

    Comparing my Steam account value calculated by SteamDB, the "lowest value" is 23% of the "value today". Taking into account that prices reduce significantly over time, you could put it much lower.

    How do you expect people to calculate "if you had to pay for every item"?

  • MangaDex Hit With Massive DMCA Takedown; Fans Demand Better Access To Manga From Japanese Publishers

    Jump

  • Earlier this year Japanese lawmakers were shocked to realize that illegal consumption of manga cost the industry around 1 trillion yen.

    Why do articles quoting shit like this never contextualize it?

    I assume these numbers are, like they always are, a consumption = loss of buy equation, which is not a realistic calculation at all.

    The article talks at length about accessibility, yet fails to point to that issue when quoting these "cost" numbers.

    It's not like they're hosting any of those. It's not costing them anything. At most it should be labeled loss, but an equation makes no sense then either.

  • cuiiliste.de is an effort (of one person) to make the list and its effects transparent, and inform about how you can switch DNS.

  • Tribler - Is it any good? If not, is there anything as private as Tor for torrents?

    Jump

  • A magnet link can be used to download the torrent file.

    They're only more private in the sense that the link itself is not a torrent file you download and open. Instead, it's a link to that torrent file, downloadable through bittorrent.

    It doesn't make your downloading any more private.
