Wow this is such a clean and snappy Lemmy client, may become my new daily driver!

The "For You" feed looks like it has a similar focus as the one I have on Agora, which is a webapp for following people across the "extended Fediverse" as I call it (Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, Nostr).

The For You feed on Agora utilizes a fork of the open source FediAlgo library to create a feed that combines interesting posts from people you follow, as well as friends of friends, and it learns your preferences based on whose content you like/boost.

movie-web always seemed like such a sitting duck for takedowns like this. Any form of piracy that’s grabbing from a few centralized streaming servers is bound to be shut down.

P2P torrents over a VPN is the most resilient way to do piracy.

Why does it matter whether they announced it or not, if the flight took off more than 3 and a half hours after its scheduled departure, is that not more than a 3 hour delay by definition?

You can find some solid open source alternatives here, the ones I like most are Lawn Chair and Kvæsitso:

oops, should be fixed now

I think it looks great! I have it set as a full panel on top for desktop and on bottom for mobile.

This seems to be the case for electronics from European brands in general.

Off the top of my head: with Forgejo, you alone have the burden of hosting your repo, which means if your repo becomes popular, you have to deal with the costs of all that traffic to it.

The nice thing about the P2P/seeding aspect of Radicle is that anyone can clone your public repo and help seed it to others.

I see that Forgejo is working on federation which should help distribute the load of hosting a repo, but that doesn't look to be completed yet

How so?

There’s a web app in addition to the electron desktop apps, you can find an example here: https://feishin.vercel.app/

@showroom7561@lemmy.ca and anyone else:

If you want to follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon, there's a bridge called Bird.Makeup that still works and is building a workaround to this issue.

I'm working on a Mastodon client called Agora that integrates this bridge into the search, so that if you search for "elonmusk@twitter.com" it automatically loads the bridged Mastodon version of the profile:

Great concept! Btw in addition to this, if you post something on Mastodon and tag the lemmy community in the post, it posts it to Lemmy directly.

I don't see how that's accurate if it's jointly owned by its employees.

Jack Dorsey doesn't "own" Blusky, he just gave them grant money in the beginning to kick things off, and is one of the board members.

"Prior to the seed round, Bluesky's website described the company as a Public Benefit LLC owned by CEO Jay Graber and other Bluesky employees. Post-seed round, the company describes itself as a public-benefit C Corp."

The dude in the video was subdued because he eventually just gave up and started running away. That’s luck, not training.

Also, if someone threatens people’s lives with a knife, all bets are off and if the threat is neutralized by them getting shot, they brought that upon themselves.

This super naive idealistic way of handling law enforcement is why Europe has such a problem with immigrant crime. You guys overcorrected from colonialism to whatever pansy shit you have now.

Not arming police seems like a pretty stupid move to be honest.

Even in parts of Europe without guns, if a criminal has a knife and is attacking people, are police supposed to just hide and wait for the actually armed SWAT-equivalent in that country to show up?

Police are supposed to be equipped to deal with the most dangerous people, not arming them just sounds like it’s a job that only attracts foolish people.

Blows my mind that a (technically) Chinese-made EV would be that overpriced.

Forgot about the Moto Z, I’d actually prefer they name their flagships that over Moto Edge

It would help to not have a complete mess of a naming scheme for their phones. It should be:

Moto E: Budget/entry level Moto G: Mid-range Moto Edge/RAZR: Flagship phones

There’s no need to confuse everything by adding 20 different versions of each tier with stylus/power/activ/whatever added to the name.

I'm working on a client/app called Agora that integrates bridges like bridgy-fed so that you don't have to think about those quirks, you just search something like "aoc.bsky.social" on it while logged in to a Mastodon account, it'll automatically pull up the bridged version of the account for you to follow.

Which search indexers are you using in radarr/sonarr?

DHT allows discovery of torrents by pinging the IP addresses from an existing torrent, and asking them what other files they’re sharing. It then pings the other IP addresses seeding those files, and asks them what they’re sharing, and so on.

You can either use a torrent search index site (many of them use DHT to create their database) or you can self host your own DHT crawler and have your own personal torrent search index, but the downside is it uses a decent amount of space to store the index.

BitMagnet is the best self hosted DHT indexer if you’re interested: https://github.com/bitmagnet-io/bitmagnet

Now that DHT makes trackers unnecessary in order to find torrents, what’s the point of private trackers other than gatekeeping?

"Despite representing the U.S. at the youth international level, the Miami-born goalkeeper is still eligible for Venezuela through his father and Peru through his mother."

Alright who do we gotta bribe to make sure this potential juggernaut picks the good old USA?!

They’re a publisher whose content is hosted on their own streaming service. It’s classic vertical integration.

I think the current model is better actually, because then the streaming services have to compete with each other on content, user experience, and price.

This way, you only need to subscribe to the streaming services that have the shows you’re currently watching, and can cancel whenever you’re done with those shows, until the next one comes along.

If a streaming service bundles multiple studios shows together, then you’re paying for a ton of content you may not even care about, just like how cable is.

At the end of the day, unless someone is watching hours and hours of tv a day, it’s unlikely they need to simultaneously subscribe to 7 streaming services.

isn't about choosing the better product, but on which shows you have.

But you can argue that part of what makes a streaming service a good product, is the literal product they produce, their content.

Is this an issue for the iOS app as well? I'm guessing it's not, since mine is only using 80mb of space.

Anna's Archive just added an academic papers feature called SciDB: https://annas-archive.org/

Wow your virtue signaling rant has magically fixed Amazon

This is why it's more and more important to have tools like BitMagnet that allow you self host it, and crawl/index the DHT to essentially have your own torrent search database that doesn't rely on 3rd party trackers.

Just pulled the latest and tried again, and it works now! Thanks

Dude this is amazing! Exactly the sort of thing I've been hoping would pop up to further "decentralize" the torrent search experience.

So I'm trying to run it on my machine through the docker-compose option, and I'm seeing something weird. It shows as successfully running, but when I go to the port it should be running on, I get "unable to connect" on my browser.

When I check my containers running, it shows the 3 bitmagnet containers, but the port doesn't show.

Wow, that was an incredible write up

You can now install Tailscale on AppleTV. Tailscale is a sort of personal VPN service that allows you to directly connect your personal devices to each other over the internet. tvOS 17 added support for VPNs to run on Apple TV.

What this means in the case of AppleTV region coding:

If for example, you have a computer at home that's running tailscale, and you take your AppleTV with you while on vacation in let's say, Egypt, you can set Tailscale on your AppleTV to use the Tailscale node on your home computer as an exit node, and you'll be able to stream Hulu on that AppleTV in your hotel in Egypt normally because the traffic is tunneling through your computer back home in the US, and it thinks that's where you're located.

Normally with commercial VPNs, that wouldn't work because Hulu/Netflix/etc have a list of IP addresses associated with VPN services, and so they'd detect youre connected to that VPN and block you from using it. But in the case of tailscale, the IP address they see is that of your computer back home, so they don't think you're connected to a VPN.

This can also theoretically help get around Netflixes password sharing restrictions, because if the account owner runs an exit node on their AppleTV, and the other password sharers set their AppleTVs to use that owners AppleTV as their exit node, Netflix will think the logins are all coming from the same IP address located in one place.

Ah good to know, thanks!
