Legality aside (fuck the feds and big tech). Yea it’s direct downloading. Not p2p. (I’m like 90% sure) I’ve never used them to dl because of using private trackers.

Also pretty sure courts in America set presidency that a downloaded of illegal files (copyright stuff) isn’t liable.

Trust me none of the big companies kind stealing, at Amazon the fines and settlements were just the cost of doing businesses. Bet your ass they would go after you if you did the same thing however.

Lol techies were never met to be in the spotlight… here I am doing talking engagements and being awkward as fuck. Thanks for the share!

I am American!!! Swizzin is much easier then my ansible answer.

Fiber is getting bigger and I’m in a small city. Only had cable and dsl and I could see downtown San Francisco…

I don’t like a billionaire like the rest of us poor people. But I’ve met quite a few working in a tech and being in leadership. I’m ADHD/spectrum, Zuck reminds me of me. I feel like a reptile when I’m forced to talk about shot I don’t want to, but talk about what I want like “smoking meats” I’ll talk your fucking ear off.

Trump isn’t a reptile nor is Clinton just rich assholes. I’ve also met non assholes that are rich. Zuck and Bezos were the non assholes.

It’s IRC servers (think pre AIM messenger) this search engine allows you to find things and connect to the servers to download via the IRC server (like Usenet but not lol)

If you review the link and have an IRC client it will let you download the packs.

I run everything with saltbox (cloudbox fork) it’s ansible, it’s automated, and I hardly have issues. I host from home but have a 10gb uplink.

Being consistent and seeding is what makes everything work. So my best advice is seed! (Private trackers are a no brainer). Using a few and backups. I have replaced all the streaming services with a self service portal and all I need to do is updates and every few year upgrade the hardware.

I have and do purchase lots of movies and entertainment. But I’m tired of services deleting shit.

I’m just cheap… and also fuck the corporations and I was leadership at one. Steal away. Fill my nas with goodness you can’t ever take away from me.

I’m sorry…. We aren’t leaving. But I’ll say I’m sorry to please the poors.

I pay for YouTube premium, and use a YouTube blocker. I’ve been seeing weird issues. It’s pissing me off. I feel like this is nearly lawsuit territory if they don’t resolve it.

A lot from senators. But I know quite a few small business owners that suddenly had new homes and still let people go… sad

Haha yeah this is tame compared to when we went from static sites to dynamic communities. This seems so easy in comparison. Things are much easier now.

Van Neistat just did a short on the 4th turning. Good read.

I feel like the ergonomics of this have changed three times in my 30 something years of existence.

I’m talking Y’all Qaeda

He used rhetoric that any terrible leader would use. The threat of violence is to separate them from us. We see it play out with all our favorite narcissists that run business and our country. Glad I blocked them.

Worked at Amazon = moved entire family off the public cloud. Everything is self hosted and still “easy”. I backup one of my backups to an s3 provider and call it good.

Terrorists will never win
