I have a cheap 2 bay synology NAS that acts solely as a backup server for my main NAS in an offsite location as well as a USB drive locally.
Backups run every night with duplicacy
I exclude media files (movies, TV shows,…) from my backup routine due to the sheer amounts of data accumulated over time and the fact that most of it can be re-aquired using public sources in case disaster recovery is needed
I never fully disconnected to my inner child, had a brief period of my life where I tried to act all mature and pretentious and suppressed some habits but slowly diverged back to my natural self.
Today I can confidently say that I am a productive and respected member of society while keeping my inner child up and I’m very very happy with it! So in my eyes it’s possible to be both in today’s world
I remember reading an announcement from the main developer that he isn’t able to find time to work on that project not too long ago, so not sure if it is a viable option for the future. Definitely a cool project though.

When I was younger I pirated because I didn’t have any money to spare for digital media. Today I have a stable income and can afford all these things but I still pirate because it’s just more convenient in many ways.
Whenever I consume something that I really like I 100% support the artist / developers mostly by buying this exact product and / or some merch or by going to their concerts (if it’s music related)
To me piracy is just a way of freedom. Which includes to respect other people if they like or dislike spending money on certain things. In my eyes we should not split this community in such a way because this would kill the essence of freedom to make your own choices
I don’t really get this article to be honest.
An attacker doesn’t need vscode to expose your closed off network, there are many more terminal tools that can be used for various kinds of attacks, especially if the attacker can smuggle in his own executables, as it’s assumed in the post.
Neither do I like Microsoft nor vscode but to me it looks like the tunnel thingy can (and definitely should) be blocked off easily and it seems to be even documented by Microsoft.
Just show them a picture of a homeless person next to a beautiful celebrity and ask them with whom they’d like to hang out with.
Depending on their age they probably are already familiar with the concept without realizing it
Definitely an interesting project especially for those Linux users that mostly stick to one machine and like to experiment with new features.
For the regular sys admin type of person that needs to jump from one Maschine to another it’s probably a little too non-standard and hard to get productive with
Many Linux users spend a considerable amount of time using the command line interface, so the right shell configuration can make them much more productive.
When I started to get into private trackers I did the following, which worked out really well in my case:
It was actually not much effort, I had to go through only one interview which was easy to prepare for and not very challenging. All in all it was definitely worth it and I’m glad I brought up that little bit of patience
Wollt nur ne Erinnerung da lassen, dass morgen Tag der Bratwurst ist. (ich feier mit meinen kumpels rein)
Wait, aren’t seed boxes just VMs that run on the infrastructure of some internet hoster that doesn’t give a crap about the users utilizing it for torrenting? But AFAIK on most seed boxes the user needs to configure the VMs themselves to some degree. So it acts as some beefed up proxy server to torrent stuff without you compromising your own ip address + you have access to high bandwidths and some tb of storage to store your downloaded stuff
Sennheiser IE 600, great drivers and the best thing about them is they are so tiny and comfortable, I can sleep on the side without noticing them in my ears
Mit altem Internet bezog ich mich primär auf die eingesetzten Technologien, statt Twitter, Discord & Co werden da halt offene Tools / Protokolle (Bulletin boards, IRC) zur Kommunikation verwendet. Von der Usability und Funktionalität sind die Tools den modernen Alternativen unterlegen, aber dafür hat man keine Abhängigkeit von großen Internet Playern… Und es passiert dort auch ab und zu mal, dass die Dienste abschmieren (wie bei lemmy aktuell) oder irgendwann komplett weg sind. (es hat schon seinen Grund, wieso es moderne Alternativen gibt ;))
So richtig kennen tut man sich da nicht, weil 99% der User auch dort nur lurker sind (ich schließe mich da ein), aber wenn man mal Support braucht, sind die leute erfahrungsgemäß sehr hilfsbereit.
Mit der kriminellen Energie hast du nicht Unrecht, weil private tracker machen sich die organisatorischen Vorteile zu nutze, die auch “echte” organisierte Kriminalität nutzt
Cool my buddy Onsen Sweemey is listed there
So schlimm sind private tracker nun nicht und in die meisten von ihnen kommt man mit wirklich minimalem Aufwand rein. Sie sorgen für gewisse Qualitätsstandards, halten Leute fern, die nichts an die Community zurückgeben möchten, sind in der Regel auf bestimmte Medien spezialisiert (Filme, Serien, Anime, Games,…) und ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass die Betreiber da was dran verdienen.
Achja und User sind in der Regel top (zumindest ist das meine Erfahrung). Ich erinnere mich noch daran als ich damals orpheus beigetreten, bisschen im IRC gechatted habe und die Leute plötzlich anfingen mich mit freelech tokens zu ueberschütten. Und überhaupt, wer das alte Internet vermisst, fühlt sich dort wie zu Hause, da die meisten communities IRC und eigene klassische Foren nutzen.
Krass wie jung Thomas Anders mal aussah
Bin Berliner, habe aber mal beruflich ein halbes Jahr in Hannover gelebt und ich muss sagen: es war gar nicht mal so übel. Gute Infrastruktur (Flughafen, Autobahn, ICE), viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe, recht viel Grün
Yeah same here. He’s 11 now and beats me in Mario kart and most recently in smash as well (the latter is especially depressing QQ)
