  • The Pirate Bay is “technically” not breaking any laws

    As another user mentioned, TPB hosting magnet links and torrent files. Bring down TPB site down = no access to torrent files/magnet links = you can’t download the torrent (teoretically). Sharing link to TPB site does not break any laws and is totally legal.

    You don’t have to break laws to get in trouble if you are pissing off rich people. They’ll find something, anything, to nail you on. It’s totally ok for random normal people to not want to be “heroes” to a bunch of other random people they don’t know. Heroes attract villains, and instability. And while it’s just starting to get off the ground, lemmy doesn’t need villains or instability.

    Basically “Lorem ipsum”

    Let the smaller, less visible servers do the shady but “totally technically legal” stuff.

    So you do support piracy? Or not?

    Big servers with big targets on their forehead need to be stable and drama-free.

    “drama-free” lol. This is drama. This is drama that should not have happened in the first place.


  • What part is illegal? Are they sharing files on that instance and your instance re-hosts it?

    From my understanding, discussions are legal, guides are legal, tips are legal, but actual files (aka “copyrighted content”) is illegal. There are no files shared there, links at maximum, but institutions should be after those content-sharing websites, not forums.

    I am against this decision and I am happy that I am not part of admins team.








  • Left after 2.5 months in a company, had 2 weeks annual leave before leaving on day 1 after returning.

    That’s IT job and it was in large multinational company. I won’t name the company, because it was team’s issue, not a company’s issue. Also the company moved out of the country so it’s in the past anyway.

    Basically manager was on power trip - think of “everyone sucks except me”, or “I don’t have time for this shit” sort of thinking. One moment “hey my best friend!!!” sort of behavior, another moment treats you like shit with almost being passive aggressive all the time. Few examples what happened:

    • “We’ve already agrees on this” and “we already discussed this” or “you need to understand what sort of answer you expect before asking”. These were the answers most of the time to my qiestions.
    • Can say “fuck you” in front of colleagues. Yet some of the colleagues tolerated it. 🤷
    • Blames you for a minor reason. Treats like shit.

    During the annual leave, when there was around week left, I started having annexiety/panic attacks. Wake up in the morning with high heart rate, stresses, that I have to returnt to work in several days. I realised that I have to leave this job, just fuck it.

    Luckily, through friends, I found another job few days later. It’s been MAJOR upgrade, felt amazing and valued.

    Fuck that ex-manager in particular. I know where he works now, and I will never apply to that company at the same time he works there. 🖕






  • A bit more “home user friendly” explanation:

    Basically your home PC where you download “Linux ISOs”. But because you don’t like picking everything (movies/tv shows/etc, but not pc games) manually - you want to automate it.

    “Automate” is called Jellyfin/Plex and underlaying microservices, such as Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, QBittorrent, Bazarr and so on. You want this to be available 24/7 so it automatically adds content (movies/shows) to your “wishlist”, downloads when it becomes available and automatically appears in your Jellyfin/Plex server.

    This is why you usually dedicate a server for this, which runs 24/7, usually at home. And I guess you call it “seedbox”.

    Some other users set up VPN on their server, configure qbittorrent to use ONLY vpn connection (to avoid getting emails from their ISPs for pirated Linux ISOs lol) and call it “seedbox”. They first torrent anything to seedbox, then they download from it to their PC. In my case it’s not needed, since everything is automated and I access all my “Linux ISOs” from Jellyfin.




  • Google Pixel is no-brainer choice. Any pixel from 7th gen.

    GrapheneOS is kind of nice if you don’t hate setting everything up, but for example, Google Wallet does not work on it. Camera is somewhat trash. Myself I did not like it due to camera and google wallet functionality.

    Ex-OnePlus user. Their software is buggy and shit. OnePlus used to be amazing but not anymore.

    Mobile market sucks in terms of competition tbh… All 3rd party ROMs like LineageOS are usually bloated with bugs there and there. Wouldn’t recommend!
