Its not zero-effort, but you can safely torrent without a VPN using I2P. You’d have to have an I2P router running on the backend and use something like i2psnark to connect. Out of the box, I2P won’t work, you have to adjust the config, but after that you could go VPN-less. Two things to consider though: 1. Torrents will run slower. 2. Only trackers inside the I2P network would be reachable.
Jackett I think is a better solution. There is a crazy amount of sources to search/select from and setting up the API key is just editing a file.
This is the best answer. Just ask the author for a copy. They’ll often time have no problem sending it to you for free.
That’s a really good mention. I’m pretty sure firejail is usig linux namespaces too. It has a flag called --net which accepts interfaces, so you could pass an existing VPN connection to it before it launches the torrent application. Probably a much cleaner way of doing it than YAML config files like I was suggesting.
Another option to preventing leaks is to run the qBittorrent application inside a namespace that only has the VPN interface passed through to it. Its basically like docker only you are just pulling the networking component out and using that. wg-netns is one tool that uses that approach to things. Might be more geared to the self-hosted community, but worth mentioning if anyone is wanting that level of security.
The AI cards prioritize compute density instead of frame rate, etc so you can’t directly compare price points between them like that without including that data. You could cluster gaming cards, though, using NVLink or the AMD Fabric thing. You aren’t going to get any where near the same performance, and you are really going to rely on quantization to make it work, but depending on your use case in self-hosting you probably don’t need a $30,000 card.
Its not a scam, but its also something you probably don’t need.
You got your cheeks clapped in an argument and now you’re trying to downplay it. 👏 👏 👏
No, it wasn’t chess. It was me spanking you logically, pigeon.
That is correct. You argued that a blank line counts as part of your original argument… I am playing chess with a pigeon it seems.
“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it won.”
Remember me saying you’re arguing semantics? You are now trying to argue that you wrote 4 lines not 3 because of a blank line…
1… 2… 3… See, in Lemmy the comments are attached under the post. That’s how you know what a person is responding to.
I noticed some comments saying “You can’t pirate free software”. I would take that as a challenge, so here’s how to pirate Lemmy.
Firstly, “free” software is extremely rare. Lemmy isn’t free, its governed by the AGPLv3. Per the AGPLv3, if you pull the author attribution/licensing text, say “I made this” , and start distributing it out, you’ve committed copyright infringement and illegally distributed it (piracy). So, that means we CAN pirate Lemmy:
NOTE: Never let someone tell you that you can’t do something.
I didn’t skim. You only wrote 3 lines…
At this point you’re just trying to argue semantics like that will somehow make your non-points logically coherent. As for that last thing you wrote that you said you didn’t write, its verbatim from your later comment. so yeah you did say that. Literally just had to scroll up to find it, man. That wasn’t hard.
Either way, doesn’t matter. You’re just backpedaling at this point trying to say you either didn’t say something or argue that I’m wrong because your analogies don’t make sense (like I’m responsible for your bad writing). I’ve given you terms to research, I hope you do better when you try to start arguments online in the future because you did a terrible job tonight. Later.
I’m not sure why you’d be struggling with this, honestly. You understand the proxy relationships you created in your weird one-offs right?
“Don’t set my bones, Dr. Steve donated to X” is not the same as “I don’t want to donate to X”. You inserted yourself in the middle of it and then claimed in a life threatening situation he wouldn’t have an issue giving you money. You are not the tankie. You don’t matter in the OP’s decision regarding donations to the tankie. The roofers don’t matter in the OP’s decision regarding donations to the tankie. The tankie is the only one who matters in that scenario, it doesn’t matter who you inject between them as a shield.
You might read about the separation of roles and responsibility. That’s not ignoring the point, its proving you have no point to be made.
As for your other comment: You said you wouldn’t engage positively with someone you disagree with like the OP, but yet the OP is required according to you to engage positively with the developer who he disagrees with? If the OP can’t post about the dev in that way, why are you able to post about the OP in that way?
If you still struggle with that, I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe look up “hypocrisy”?
The acceptance of medical care is not an equivalent situation to using free software in terms of ideological concerns. That’s conflating a social media platform with being as necessary as medical treatment. Even the roofing situation wouldn’t fit as the work is complete and they can’t exactly undone that work without destroying part of your existing house now and they certainly aren’t based on optional donation are they? I mean I assume you contracted to have them do that work, right? So that wouldn’t be a valid comparison to make either. Is Lemmy equally as important as blood poisoning or having a home to you?
The other glaring issue you didn’t consider is agent vs. artifact. In neither case is the actual person performing the service (roofer or doctor) the one being criticized for holding the tankie views. By that logic, you wouldn’t be able to interact with anyone who is apathetic about an issue/belief/etc you are not. A working example of that would you you posting to a forum post by the OP who has different views. You shouldn’t be interacting with him if you actually believed what you wrote.
Is Invidious still working? After the latest round of API patches on Youtube’s end, I didn’t think it was.
Then there is no reason for a VPN or I2P.
I think the article is pretty accurate about what to expect. The author’s view is grounded in reality. They are a business, but that doesn’t mean “the capitalists are in control”. I would like to think commenters have researched Accel’s prior fundings, but I know that is not likely. In short, they do not attempt to control companies. In 300 fundings, they have never attempted to take a majority stake in any company and do not hold majority stake in any company. They don’t do acquisitions.
Accel is probably one of the few equity groups that isn’t pure fucking evil. If anyone wants to pick a fight over that, fine, but at least research that company first.
Didn’t Italy raid a man’s home because he had retro handheld consoles?
