  • That’s some pretty close margins, but it wasn’t a simple direct flight and land; they spent 2hrs circling the airport trying to land in turbulence, then had to divert to another location. Planes already fly as light as reasonable to reduce the amount of fuel you’ve gotta burn to haul the extra weight.

    Makes sense they’d be rather low on fuel by then.

    One person on board recounted what is thought to have been a two-hour attempt to make a safe landing, saying the plane made two attempts to land at Prestwick, before heading for Edinburgh and finally Manchester.


  • it wouldn’t be owned by pornhub. It would be owned by MindGeek, their parent company.

    Which, In Americas current legal/political landscape, is more than enough to link them and insist they have an obligation to prevent users accessing MindGeeks own legally restricted content.

    They need a significant separation to cover their own asses. Common corporate ownership doesn’t provide that separation.

    I presume you mean, so users in individual States or other regions that restrict it can access pornhub

    No.

    A VPN provides a layer of plausible deniability where PornHub can say “we don’t know those connections come from [restricted region] so we didn’t know we had to bock them/verify IDs”. All they see is connections comming from the VPN exit server location, which is very likely in a more forgiving/less restrictive region.

    If PornHub owns the VPN as well, they now know the true location of the user as well as what they’re accessing and will be scrutinized much further about those connections.










  • This comment prompted me to look a little deeper at this. I looked at the history for each show where I’ve had failed downloads from those groups.

    For SuccessfulCrab; any time a release has come from a torrent tracker (I only have free public torrent trackers) it’s been garbage. I have however had a number of perfectly fine downloads with that group label, whenever retrieved from NZBgeek. I’ve narrowed that filter to block the string ‘SuccessfulCrab’ on all torrent trackers, but allow NBZs. Perhaps there’s an impersonator trying to smear them or something, idk.

    ELiTE on the other hand, I’ve only got history of grabbing their torrents and every one of them was trash. That’s going to stay blocked everywhere.


    The block potentially dangerous setting is interesting, but what exactly is it looking for? The torrent client is already set to not download file types I don’t want, so will it recognize and remove torrents that are empty? (everything’s marked ‘do not download’) I’m having a hard time finding documentation for that.
