Nor are Linux users conditioned to download programs from random sketchy sources the way Windows users do.

I think about this every time install instructions for something are “run this terminal command to add our repo to your sources”. Would probably be pretty easy to get an auto-updating attack path for the unsuspecting. The first drop doesn’t even need to be malicious, just ship the virus as an update.

I find it interesting how Americans see the word “fortnight” as some archaic thing but it’s still in regular use in English outside of the US.

I probably miss out on that aspect as I have everything automated 🤷

I thought that was the number one rule of reddit? Everyone was acting like they didn’t know what it was.

The two main benefits I’ve seen of private trackers are that you avoid the issue in the OP which happens all the time on public trackers, and that shows download in seconds.

Not sure how helpful they would be if things weren’t automated. I just have things set up so my Jellyfin users can request shows and they get downloaded automatically.

But with that said, “private” doesn’t mean it costs money, just that it requires an account (and usually that is an application process). It means they can kick people off for uploading things they shouldn’t.

Oh on private trackers it’s hard to keep a genuine ratio like that. Instead they typically assign points for time you spend seeding, and you use those points to “buy” upload credit that counts for your ratio.

Many private trackers have a requirement to log in every X months so occasionally I just go log in to each and spend all the points.

This seems like a one off for them, but for me whenever tracking ongoing TV series I would regularly get malicious files as they appear before the real ones, and get found and downloaded by sonarr.

These days I only automate from private trackers, and enable a public tracker for an interactive search only if something can’t be found on the private trackers.

Haha seriously this. There weren’t any coffee people in there to judge.

I literally had a work meeting with someone I’d never met, they asked to meet at Starbucks. Then when I arrived he got up and said “where should we go for coffee?”

Sorry, what are you trying to do? Anna’s achive is not selling anything. You can donate to them, and in return they will give you fast downloads from their mirrors. But you are not using their mirrors, you’re using torrents, right?

Like you just literally go to https://annas-archive.gl/dyn/generate_torrents?max_tb=1&format=url

And it will give you a list of torrent files you can download to seed their content as a backup for them, to preserve the knowledge. At no point do you need a membership (not even if you want to download individual files from their servers, you just get slower download speeds which will still have you downloading books in a minute or two).

I am not sure what you mean by DMCA notices but there are hundreds of sites that you can torrent from if you use a VPN yes. My assumption was that you’re already familiar with torrenting.

For the record, Anna’s Archive is not distributing books with the copyright owners consent, they are a shadow library.

You can help hoard the info so the knowledge is not lost. The torrents are not designed to be browsed (you do that on their website) but instead are designed to be a copy to stop it being lost.

To help, follow the link I gave. In the “Help seed” section say how much space you have. It will allocate you appropriately torrents to download and seed.

What is your intent?

I kinda think of this as what would the sentence have looked like somewhere else?

I’m guessing something like life with 25 years non-parole. So after 30 years in prison so far, she should probably be allowed parole if she meets the normal requirements.

There’s a blurb here: https://lemmy.nz/post/42147205/23767495

But basically the Dutch host turned out to actually be Russian owned and got shut down. He’s just waiting to see if it can be recovered as the backups aren’t very recent.

I was gonna say you had it in the wrong place, but it looks like you also serve it in the /.well-known/ location as well.

Damn, they lock down your Outlook settings? I don’t think I’ve ever worked anywhere that did that.

I prefer that thing where someone sends you an invite for a month from now, and sends you a separate email with the important documents in it. At least the stuff in the calendar invite can be found from the calendar, that email you sent a month ago is not tied to the meeting in any way.

It’s not the only option, I have it disabled so they stay in my inbox once accepted/declined.

I think people took your comment wrong. If I’m reading correctly, you’re saying maybe she is the incompetent one, which I think is a fair comment to make, even though there’s no evidence. It’s definitely possible?

Not OP but I use an Enterprise version that is fine, I guess a different release branch. My mother doesn’t have the enterprise version as she works for a small business and it broke.
