Sounds like a great way to get fired from a job. Mirror as much as you can from him while he still has it up, but also probably limit it so that the bandwidth doesn’t raise any alarms.

With P2P file sharing, your client is sharing the files with random people on the internet and you’re identified by your IP address (or a VPN IP address / seedbox IP address / etc). MPAA hires companies to check for popular content and log the IP address, time, and content shared, and then sends that to the ISP. The risk and issue is sharing content with anyone randomly, since that is how your ISP is informed of the activity.

With media servers, unless you’re somehow sharing publicly, it’s safe to assume your members aren’t going to report you to your ISP. I guess in theory the ISP could see high upload bandwidth and investigate, but more likely than not, if there are limits, automated systems will just throttle the bandwidth, and no deep packet inspection or other forensics is performed.

Good on you, but I would never pirate Ready Player One, let alone pay $0.50 for it.

if you download a file (not via BitTorrent), your downloaded file will have the same hash as the person who shared it with you, but that doesn’t mean you were the sender.

Check if they’re on ICE List and if not, get proof and if they are ICE, get them on here.

you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

it was sold to a swedish company that plans to develop/support it further. Hopefully they do it well.

Narrator: They aren’t

It depends if you’re popular or not. People might copy your style and purchase the fast fashion directly because of you, even if you got it second hand. Say for example you’re Taylor Swift, and you literally steal the fast fashion cloths directly from the factory to wear in public. You are still indirectly financially enabling child labor and probably boosting the business.

Thank you for this. Sucks the local chapters are primarily organized on discord. Seems pretty risky that they could all be shut down in one fell swoop.

They’re probably not even building to industry standards and not properly grounding their equipment, so if you were to visit the “datacenter” you’d be literally shocked.

It’s fantastic

As seen in the show Common Side Effects

Shhhh, the pitchforks are out, who needs evidence. In all reality, if you were to be wiretapped, an Alexa wouldn’t be the best option. Most people already have an internet connected microphone they carry around with them everywhere. And it has multiple cameras too, which are regularly brought into the bathroom with them.

OMG, your real name isn’t really Ovo647??

For broadcast television, especially over the air, there’s no additional load on the provider side for broadcasting to 1 or 1 million people. The TV consumers never have to communicate back to the broadcaster, and this is very efficient from a bandwidth perspective. It’s somewhat similar for cable in most provider situations, the video is broadcast over a wire rather than over the air.

With streaming, each stream has to negotiate with a server to access the stream and the server serves the content to that consumer. This scales as there are more consumers, and the load on the provider increases. Caching layers and CDNs exist to distribute this load, and that is expensive. This is why streaming providers have a “Are you still watching” prompt if they think you’ve stopped watching, since it costs lots to serve the content.

Lots of people have a crazy MAGA parent / sibling / cousin, etc they vehemently disagree with and wish would realize their relative is aligned with the baddies. Judging and targeting innocent people for the actions of someone else is pretty disgusting, even if it would show ICE officers the damage they’re causing in America.

The raw comment is this:

[Digg.com](digg.com) didn't load for me, good start 😅

It’s missing the https:// protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as

[Digg.com](https://digg.com/) and then it’ll look like: Digg.com

Yeah, Honey is just exacerbating the inherent flaws in the system, and most of it can be dealt with having a limit of coupon usage and expiration of the coupons.

The thing which really upset me is advertisers pulling money from podcasts which have referral codes because of abuse from Honey. I’m not a fan of advertisements, but the referal codes were a simple solution since there’s no way to accurately measure if an ad was listened to. Honey causing advertisers to pull support for podcasts just pushes podcasts to closed ecosystems with more tracking and analytics, and takes money away from Podcasters.

mm/yy/dd is so cursed, thanks I hate it.

Unless we can prevent 100% of firearm deaths, we shouldn’t take any action /s
