All those services block IPVanish and Proton. They want my data not my money.
How do you come to that conclusion from their blocking of commercial VPNs? Sure, of course they want your telemetry as well, but it’s mainly due to the copyright owners/distribution agreements.
Buying pirated DVDs is one example I assume?
Why would you ever want to rename the file though? The extra tags are useful, eg for when searching matching subtitles or remembering quality without needing to check ffprobe.
It’s a public static IP, no one else is on it except for me :)
Do they actually do that in the majority of cases, or just a few to scare people? Germany is really weird on IP law…
admitting that they might need to if they were forced to. That is extremely reasonable.
It’s not though? The reasonable result would be to simply shut down in that jurisdiction.
You can comply with the law whilst not having anything to provide the law. Such as Mullvad does.
You mean they got a shock letter that says “pay us, or we’ll take you to court”? Just throw that junk mail away.
My ISP uses CGNAT but I have a public static IP from them. 10+ years of heavy usage and not a single letter.
Rafah crossing has almost never been open for over a decade. Egypt doesn’t want a ton of Palestinian refugees either. So yeah, while it’s in their best interest that the conflict ends, they’re not doing many actions to reduce the human suffering in Gaza.
lived through the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel
And what about the conflict between actual Lebanon and what became Hezbollah?
“subjugated”? Don’t be inane now. What’s your solution, other than Hamas ceasing their terrorist attacks?
Maybe Palestinians could try living in Jordan? Oh, Black September and all that happened.
Or maybe Lebanon would work? Oh, that’s how we got Hezbollah, who has basically taken over Lebanon.
Maybe Egypt will open their doors to the Palestinians again? But then again, Rafah border crossing is almost always closed, because Egypt’s de facto relationship with the Palestinians could be described as “we like you, but mostly because we hate Israel more”.
I sympathize enormously with every normal Palestinian, but Mandatory Palestine will never be a thing again. The so-called State of Israel will continue to exist. It has been too long, and the only humanitarian hope for everyone involved is for Hamas and all related groups to accept defeat. But I don’t see that happening, because the conflict isn’t just over historical lands and freedom, but to eradicate all Zionists.
Though if neither a father nor his sons have submitted their DNA, the service will lack all that Y-DNA though, right? I’m glad I made the right decision to not send in my DNA to those sites, despite my sisters hounding me to do it after our dad refused, lol.
It’s a shame though, because family genetic networking is interesting, but it just goes to show you can’t trust these companies. (Even though the company didn’t really do anything truly wrong in this case, as it’s simply users reusing passwords, they still should have been better/more proactive especially with such sensitive information)
Without direct connection, PMS uses Plex Relays, which limit streams to like 320p.
There are many crawlers, and I’m confident at least a couple have tried to connect to your server (unless you have an IP firewall, or if you’ve changed Plex Media Sever’s default port, in which case significantly less likely).
I assume it’s not really about them watching content, but to avoid them exploiting any possible PMS bugs.
You are now not hosting publicly available links
That’s also the case with open trackers (without indexers), yet I’ve gotten shut down way too many times. But that made me wonder, does this project share metadata if someone else in the DHT swarm queries for an info_hash you have, or does it simply “leech”? Pretty cool project regardless.
This gets rid of any questionably legal gray area of using sites like Nyaa, etc for Torrent links
Except that now you’re asking the swarm for metadata behind a boatload of info_hashes? Unlikely anyone would care (though you’d be surprised how many DMCAs I get when just having a simple open tracker running, not even an indexet), but I don’t see it as being any less grey than using any existing sites.
Do you have a source for these claims? No one is smoking cigarettes for the taste, nor is “bad taste” a common reason for anyone to quit. Smoking is both a chemical addiction (nicotine and such) and a psychological habit (place and timing, having something in the mouth, forced breathing exercises, etc).
If we really wanted to hinder big tobacco, they’d start requiring producers to document all their ingredients, additives, and processing methods.
Menthols maybe? And that it’s harder for people of a lower socioeconomic status to quit smoking? Otherwise, no idea.
