Musk has a distro???

Yeah, I too remember there was some anger but not the reason for it. Licensing issues, maybe? Anyway, with the kerfuffle, bloat, and Java requirement, it didn’t have enough to keep me from µTorrent.

Also been using qBittorrent for the last few years, on Windows and the last two years on Linux. With search plugins for key sites, so I can avoid the popups that even uBlock Origin can’t prevent.

(Due to an unpatched security vulnerability in the repo version of qB, currently using AppImages of latest versions of both qB and qB-enhanced. Only difference I personally notice is that qB-enhanced follows my system theme, dark.)

You’re welcome :)

re OT question: I remember trying out Azureus a bit back in the day, and with its “legit content distribution” section getting to watch this video:

YouTube - Benny Benassi - Satisfaction

But I didn’t stick with it, mainly used µTorrent and eMule.

So sad this is necessary now.

Or hosted in a way that is itself P2P? Like IPFS or ZeroNet?

Conservatives who are actually conservative??? Not radical lunatic rightists who do or say whatever Trump wants?

I didn’t realize any were left.

Dudek had been a mid-level IT staffer at Social Security before being put on administrative leave for helping Elon Musk’s DOGE team access sensitive databases inside the agency. The Trump administration tapped him to lead the agency after more senior officials refused to cooperate with Musk’s team.

The most fanatically loyal to the Dear Leader, the most contemptuous of both the law and the people, are plucked from mediocrity and placed at the top.

This is America now.

And then the Sturmtrumper gives a masterclass in petulance and childishness.

TIL Planet Hollywood still existed.

Hurd?

A meme is a great way to avoid their fury; Lynx doesn’t show images.

Two decades torrenting in Mexico (also periods of eMule and Soulseek), never a problem. No VPN, no seedbox, no Tailscale.

(ISP: Telmex Prodigy Infinitum.)

I believe using a CDN would defeat the author’s goal of not being reliant on third-party service providers.

A problem with this approach was that many readers use VPN’s and other proxies that change IP addresses virtually every time they use them. For that reason and because I believe in protecting every Internet user’s privacy as much as possible, I wanted a way of immediately unblocking visitors to my website without them having to reveal personal information like names and email addresses.

I recently spent a few weeks on a new idea for solving this problem. With some help from two knowledgeable users on Blue Dwarf, I came up with a workable approach two weeks ago. So far, it looks like it works well enough. To summarize this method, when a blocked visitor reaches my custom 403 error page, he is asked whether he would like to be unblocked by having his IP address added to the website’s white list. If he follows that hypertext link, he is sent to the robot test page. If he answers the robot test question correctly, his IP address is automatically added to the white list. He doesn’t need to enter it or even know what it is. If he fails the test, he is told to click on the back button in his browser and try again. After he has passed the robot test, Nginx is commanded to reload its configuration file (PHP command: shell_exec(“sudo nginx -s reload”);), which causes it to immediately accept the new whitelist entry, and he is granted immediate access. He is then allowed to visit cheapskatesguide as often as he likes for as long as he continues to use the same IP address. If he switches IP addresses in the future, he has about a one in twenty chance of needing to pass the robot test again each time he switches IP addresses. My hope is that visitors who use proxies will only have to pass the test a few times a year. As the whitelist grows, I suppose that frequency may decrease. Of course, it will reach a non-zero equilibrium point that depends on the churn in the IP addresses being used by commercial web-hosting companies. In a few years, I may have a better idea of where that equilibrium point is.

You’re welcome.

I believe I found it originally via the “distribuverse”… specifically, ZeroNet.

Another solution: install a Linux distro in kiosk mode and make the browser home page https://www.windows93.net/

What about a dumb TV with a Roku Xpress?
