  • I doubt anyone will register to any lemmy instance that does this. One of the reasons people use lemmy is privacy.

  • This is insanity, humanity is slowly losing its mind. They want AI for everything.

  • IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a protocol for messaging and XDCC is a file sharing method that it uses.

    IRC: https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/k08hje/when_people_say_irc_is_dead

    Usenet is basically the first forum to exist on the internet and people discovered that they could share files by encoding them into messages, for example lets say I take a file encode and divide it over a 1000 tweets. I would also make a file called NZB to find the messages and share it, so people could download it. Usenet still exists for file sharing, but it is paid. You would need an indexer that finds the files and a usenet service. Honestly you could get both indexer and the usenet service for as cheap as $2.5 per month way cheaper than Netflix.

    For more info about usenet check out: https://reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/faq

  • I have tried I2P, here is my take.

  • Fair enough, but I did try with tracker couldn't connect with anyone, switched to I2PSnark worked very well.

  • The problem is that qbitorrent doesn't support DHT via I2P only trackers, you can clearly see the difference in peer numbers if you use I2PSnark. Officially it should work, but I couldn't get any peers.

  • I use this filter in ublock to remove them: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt.

    These things are very privacy invading, many of them have information that can identify the users. I don't think douglasg14b knows what he is talking about. Yes they are query parameters, but they are used for many things such as advertisment for example or referrals, I think it is fine to remove query parameters that are not necessary.

    https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/W2SP/2014/papers/privacy_query_strings.pdf

    Sometimes the website sends sensitive data through query strings which is a common security issue.

  • It will still lower memory usage considerably, Firefox uses way more memory than Chrome. Memory optimization is horrible in Firefox.

  • I can't wait for Servo to be finished so I can move away from Firefox, it uses way too much memory.
