  • Anybody know why Anna's Archive is torrents only and not IPFS?

    Jump

  • There are some blog posts on annas-blog.org from 2022, talking about IPFS.

  • Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined

  • The article doesn't talk much at all about all the interesting technical details.

    The press release talks about trouble with payment providers... So I suppose they accepted credit card payment.

    Maybe the court documents are publicly available if anyone is willing to dig them up in order to find out... I don't think I'm that interested. If it's a good story, maybe someone will do a documentery or podcast episode at some point. Would probably do for a "true crime" show.

  • Didn't Finland have an entire culture of doing spoofs on old German shit, like TV series? I've seen Die Kühe and I think it's absolutely awesome. (The Dutch also did a good impression in Jiskefet.)

    And I remember watching / listening to lots of M. A. Numminen. Not sure if that's just the stuff that found its way back to Germany and me... But nonetheless...

    The thing with the tv series might be a thing of the past, though. I'm not sure if anyone still remembers "Der Alte" or "Derrick". It's probably not that funny without the context. And how we watch TV has certainly changed during the last decades.

  • Give me like $7,500 and I provide enough harddisks for 183,200 episodes. I'm not sure what to calculate for traffic, though.

    And I mean it's a bit unfortunate that you have to commit money laundering and/or tax fraud alongside this "business model". It's just not that easy to say: Hey, I would like to pay taxes on this pile of money and I don't want to say where I got it from, it's definitely mine, though.

  • Plug it into a computer and see what the computer says.

    I usually use Linux for that because it offers good error messages and I know the tools. But other operating systems might help, too.

    And if you start writing to the card or executing recovery tools, make a backup / image first.

    If the files are very important, maybe don't tamper with it and ask for help. Like a repair shop, your local Linux community or any trustworthy computer expert friend.

    The biggest enemy is probably encryption, if it's encrypted. The files are definitely still there if you just ripped it out. In the old days you could just run a recovery program and get everything back.

  • Finding Movies When Seeders Are Scarce: Alternatives to YTS.mx and 1337x

    Jump

  • Correct answer. And this is going to help way more than adding a few trackers. Also consider doing the port-forward in your router, if you're behind a NAT and it doesn't do it automatically. That makes even more peers available.

  • Lindroid is an Android app that lets you run Linux in a container, with support for hardware-acceleration

    Jump

  • FYI: There's also AnLinux, Linux Deploy, Termux, tainer, UserLAnd, ...

    Some of them aren't maintained anymore. And they don't necessarily have hardware-acceleration. But don't all require root and system patches.

  • Do you pay for some pirated contents

    Jump

  • Sure. I buy tickets to their concerts, have bought CDs, movies, buy their game in the next Steam sale or on Humblebundle, rarely Patreon or support indie things on Ko-fi or whatever. I buy a novel if I enjoyed the first chapter(s) and want it on paper. Or go to the library. I just can't afford all the music and Spotify isn't paying the artists properly either. And I don't want a DVD collection, so for TV series they don't get money from me. Except for what the one streaming service I pay for forwards to them.

  • HP tied thermal shutdown to Windows, meaning it doesn't work on Linux.

    Jump

  • I've used laptops for more than a decade. And sure, in the early times thermal management wasn't that elborate. But I really haven't seen any laptop in many, many years that doesn't do it with perfect accuracy. And usually it's done in hardware so there isn't really any way for it to fail. And I played games and compiled software for hours with all CPU cores at 100% and fans blasting. At least with my current laptop and the two Thinkpads before. The first one had really good fans and never went to the limit. The others hit it with an accuracy of like 2 or 3 degrees. No software necessary. I'm pretty sure with the technology of the last 10 years, throttling doesn't ever fail unless you deliberately mess with it.

    But now that I'm thinking of the fans... Maybe if the fan is clogged or has mechanically failed, there is a way... A decent Intel or AMD CPU will still throttle. But without a fan and airflow inside the laptop, other components might get too hot. But I'm thinking more of some capacitors or the harddisk which can't defend itself. The iGPU should be part of the thermal budget of the rest of the processor. Maybe it's handled differently because it doesn't draw that much power and doesn't really contribute to overheating it. I'm not sure.

    Maybe it's more a hardware failure, a defective sensor, dust, a loose heat conductor, thermal paste or the fan? I still can't believe a laptop would enter that mode unless something was wrong with the hardware. But I might be wrong.

  • Last week, I re-took the national baccalaureate exam this year, Algeria. and this came up in the English exam.

    Jump

  • But reading that text like they tell you to do, is kind of an exercise in futility if you choose topic two. (the benefits of artificial satellites in telecommunications) I'd be angry at that point.

  • HP tied thermal shutdown to Windows, meaning it doesn't work on Linux.

    Jump

  • Why does it force the processor over the limit in the first place?

    I think in every other laptop the CPU just throttles when it gets too hot. Meaning it can never exceed the maximum temperature. I wonder if this is a misunderstanding or if HP actually did away with all of that and designed a laptop that will cook itself.

    And it's not even a good design decision to shutdown the PC if someone runs a game... Aren't computers meant to run them? Why not automatically lower the framerate by throttling? Why shut down instead?

  • How can I send 50gb+ file over internet to friend?

    Jump

  • Btw: Might be that you're behind a NAT (router) and that's why bittorrent doesn't connect. You'd need to figure out which port your torrent client is configured to listen on and then do "port forwarding" of that port to your machine in the router you got from your ISP. Or use something like UPnP that does this automatically.

    Not sure if that applies in your case and it's unsolicited advice... But a fairly common issue with bittorrent.

  • Transcribro: Private and on-device speech recognition keyboard and service for Android.

    Jump

  • Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. The Github issue also is very helpful. Seems that's exactly my answer to "Why do I need a fourth store in addition to F-Droid, AuroraStore and Obtanium" 😉

    Have a nice day, thanks for the STT keyboard! I didn't really engage in the discussion because I'm exactly in the same situation as other people here. I already have the FUTO one and Sayboard... But eventually I'd like to replace FUTO software with free software alternatives. I don't like their licensing. So this is very welcome.

  • Thanks.

    Jump

  • Sure. There isn't any paragraph on how it compares to other appstores or why the author started the project in the first place despite several other stores being available.

    So I'm looking for the selling point. (Aside from your App being available there.)

  • Can someone enlighten me oabout the specifics of the accrescent.app appstore?

    I guess it's somewhat like Obtanium in that it fetches releases packed by the original developers, just plus an index, metadata and signing, thus more convenient and secure? I guess it's open-source and everything? What are the unique benefits?

  • Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

    Jump

  • It's lemmy.ml . During the API wars on Reddit lots of people came here and lots of new instances were founded. lemmy.world was part of that and quickly grew into -I think- the now largest instance by far. But lemmy.ml is at least 2 years older and hosted by the actual developers. And due to history hosts to this point some of the large communities.

    Yeah. And "Lemmy self-corrects" is kind of what this post is about (in my opinion.) I'd like to see lemmy.world and a few other instances now do it and defederate. That's how it should be, call out bullshit, be vocal and then do something about it. My point is, we're at phase 1 or 2. Now we're going to see if Lemmy self-corrects. As of now it didn't.

    I think just hoping for a bright future isn't cutting it. And if you ask me, all the infighting and defederating each other also isn't healthy.
