What is this? It jumps in explaining features and details about other stuff, but doesn’t explain the basic goal. There are also no screenshots except of some table. It’s not clear how to use this thing.

A blog entry on how it works and what it does at a high level could be nice. I’m not sure what I’m looking at, but there must be some API call to Lemmy and it’s probably happening on the server due to CORS; not sure how this would work just in the browser if the Lemmy instance has CORS setup…

Edit: OK the instance 0d.gs does in fact not have CORS 😮 That’s a little concerning…

Hold up, neither does programming.dev? Uh… @[email protected] and @[email protected] is that safe? I’m not a security expert but doesn’t this allow for cross site attacks?

the idea boils down to either outside instances aggregating votes made on their side and sending final voting result on a scale -1/0/1 or alternatively this aggregation could be done by the hosting community

Could you provide an example calculation? I’m not getting it. Do you want to map values from one range to another e.g [-1000,1000] to [-1,1]? Will each instance have its own mapping?

Also, computationally, I’m not sure how this is going to work iteratively. From what I understand, activitypub sends events either singular or batched to other servers e.g User X votes up, that’s an event sent, User Y votes down, that’s another event sent. If I’m not mistaken, lemmy doesn’t store the events it receives so reconstituting a vote tally isn’t possible.

I kinda get where you’re coming from, but I’m not sure it’s the right solution.

How does this compare to Notion? Can it be used as a knowledge management system? I ask because I see highlights and notes.

I don’t know of a tutorial, but most tools have to have support for I2P built in, otherwise they won’t work. A good torrent client that does is qBittorrent.

Browsing I2Ps network with HTTP happens over a SOCKS5 proxy, so if aria supports that, you can use it too. https://geti2p.net should have more information.

I wish more pirates used I2P. But it seems like many cannot deal with waiting a day for their download to finish.

MuWire? I thought that was dead. The main dev blew a gasket over something and archived it. I see it’s out of archival now, but I do wonder what brought him back.

I didn’t expect eMule and Gnutella to still be active, but probably didn’t know because I’m on Linux and their clients are Windows only. Others have pointed out linux builds that I somehow hadn’t found until now.

Anti Commercial-AI license

They aren’t being actively developed are they? And do they are windows only too, last time I checked.

Good luck! I hope it all works out for ya 🙂

You can use transmission just for creating the torrent. You don’t have to use the actual client. If qbittorrent is your client, it’s possible to add the torrents to the list at the same time with

for folder in * ; do
  transmission-create -o "$folder.torrent" "$folder"
  qbittorrent --save-path="$folder" "$folder.torrent"
done

Then you create the torrent and start seeding it immediately. If you’ve already created the torrent files

for torrentFile in **/*.torrent ; do
  folderName="$(basename -s .torrent "$torrentFile")"
  folderParent="$(dirname "$torrentFile")"
  folderPath="$folderName/$folderParent"
  qbittorent --save-path="$folderPath" "$torrentFile"
done

Depending on the setup, you could also just sym link the folder into qbittorrent’s download directory and copy your torrents into a folder that qbittorrent listens to. There are many ways to skin the cat. Check out the command line parameters for your torrent client.

Hmm, creating torrents isn’t that hard.

for folder in * ; do
  transmission-create -o "$folder.torrent" "$folder"
done

You can add a tracker by adding the --tracker "$trackerUrl" option. There isn’t much more scripting involved, AFAIK, unless you want to upload them to the tracker too. But if you join the DHT and share the magnet links somewhere, you should be done. Or is there more to the process I’m missing?

Anti Commercial-AI license

Hmmm, is your goal to share each season folder separately? Is that why you would need scripting?

Or are you looking to share everything at once without worrying about creating individual torrents? If this is what you’re looking for, then maybe Retroshare is what you’re looking for? I don’t know if stuff using eDonkey, Gnutella, or Kademlia are still around, but retroshare has file-sharing similar to those where you point the client at a folder and it just shares the entire thing.

IPFS would’ve been great for this, but they honestly screwed the pooch on that (it hogs resources, doesn’t have good clients, and doesn’t have a bridge to torrents or other networks i.e you can’t go “oh, I have a torrent file, let me see if the files for this are on IPFS and download them from there”).

As an example: a company starts a free tier offering with no promises. It can sustain that because there are enough free users that convert into paying users - enough to sustain the free tier. But times change and the cost of free tier users surpasses that of paying users. Should the company continue providing the same level of service for free tier users?

Also, what other term than entitlement would you use for somebody gets something for free, is not promised that it will stay free forever, the free offering is cancelled or limited, and the user starts complaining?

Anti Commercial-AI license

Walk us through the steps you’re taking. I’m curious how many there are and why you think there have to be that many.

Anti Commercial-AI license

Is this dude complaining that an offering he pays absolutely nothing for is reducing how much free stuff they give out? Seems quite entitled… like the people demanding opensource devs implement something and never contributing back.

There’s a chance google has to divest from Chrome, but we won’t know until September at the earliest. The process the DOJ brought against it is in progress. Binding YouTube to chrome now might jot be a smart move if google loses the process.

There is a good chance in my mind that google will win against the Department Of Justice simply because of the current administration in the US.

Port forwarding is premium? On what exactly? I must be out of the loop…

Guys, stop using github. Put your stuff on gitlab or codeberg (clearnet or on I2P), or even put it on radicle (which can also be hosted on TOR or I2P). They’ll have a much harder time taking down stuff on alternatives and it’ll be nearly impossible on hidden services.

So Facebook has to be sued in the Netherlands for it to succeed 👌 If somebody goes through with it, that would be a great popcorn moment.

You can speak freely in anonymous and encrypted channels e.g a matrix server on I2P/TOR, a signal group (just don’t use your name), simplex, retroshare over I2P, etc. Telegram is not encrypted!

Just search for “piracy $channel” e.g “piracy I2P chat”, “piracy simplex chat”, “piracy signal chat”, or something similar and you’ll find something. There might even be a forum hosted on TOR or I2P if the piracy community is that motivated.

But always remember not to give too many details about yourself. Being anonymous isn’t just a technical requirement, it also required personal effort. Tech can’t do everything for you.
