How many websites do you browse with links to truly illegal content?

If you live in a country with truly abysmal human rights, definitely don’t bother with this plugin, but in most cases you should be fine on the illegal side.

Even if somehow the website you’re browsing has some super sketchy ad to buyillegaldrugshere.com or whatever, to get in trouble with the law in most civilized places you’d have to actually buy the illegal drugs, not just ping the illegal drugs IP. Especially since you can pretty easily prove to a judge that your system fetches ad links automatically and without further engagement.

Not saying it can’t happen, just that it’s really unlikely you would be served an ad for something so illegal just clicking on it is a liability. The literally only case I can think of coming close is CSAM, but even then, if you’re regularly browsing websites that advertise CSAM, maybe find other websites to occupy your time? And I can just about guarantee any website serving CSAM ads is already doing illegal shit, so you should probably be more worried about that than an ad-click…

Signal is where you get invited to the really juicy chats though, maybe you should reconsider.

Idk if it makes me elderly, a child, or a non-gamer, but I fucking loved BOTW/TOTK. Nintendo, through those games and countless more, have repeatedly proven frame rates and fidelity aren’t what make games great. Sure, some games (especially competitive ones) benefit from better performance, but just as many get by on their creativity, story, etc.

Ahh you’re right, I take it back, Orion is free, Orion+ is paid if you want to support the mission.

Both work for me, redirects to Reddit. Check you adblocker?

Edit: Browser direct, Email direct

Note, the redirect links in theory can update when OOP updates, these direct links will eventually be outdated.

Certain other content crosses boarders. Mastadon especially. Whenever you see people replying to messages and it starts with some sort of @user@lemmy.verse tagging, you’re probably eavesdropping on a Mastadon thread and you don’t even know it.

Came over during the great 3rd party app API debacle. It didn’t even make the list. Am I old now?

You ever watch Orphan Black? Based on a true story.

Even setting seed to infinite, if there’s just one other capable seeder, good odds no individual sends any other individual a full file.

You’re just sending jibberish chunks everywhere, not your fault if someone assembles it all from multiple sources, right?

For those who maybe breeze past it in the article linked, here’s an unofficial tool for searching all of the zillions of Kagi bangs: https://kbe.smaertness.net/

They have all the usual, !g for Google, !gi Google Images, !b Bing, !ddg, !brave, etc, plus like a billion niche ones.

Unlike free search where there’s definitely no incentive to sell your data to keep the lights on, right?

How many GB of RAM should I have on my phone to ensure Gemini never runs?

Get dat flatpak.

Yes, it absolutely can, it’s super easy! Just swap your Minecraft .jar with Paper and it’ll do the rest. It’s a tiny bit harder to go back, but only marginally.

Out of the box, aside from huge performance benefits, Paper is virtually indistinguishable from vanilla, but it also opens the door to a whole world of easy-to-use server-side plugins.

Edit: (you should still make a backup before swapping, just in case)

CPU intensive servers like Minecraft are where you start to run into problems with older hardware. If it’s just you on there, a 10 year old CPU is fine, but if you’ve got a few friends, the server may start to struggle to keep up.

Not sure how recently you ran this, or what all your were running, but in the past couple of years Paper has hit some pretty major milestones in unlocking threaded processing. Barring some sort of spammy 0-tick redstone nonsense or over the top plugins, I’d wager a Raspberry Pi 4 could handle up to about 5 or 6 friends without seeing any TPS dips. Its really remarkable how far they’ve pushed performance recently.

Could I get a larg HDD and ad it in an enclosure to the Mini PC to handle the media volume?

Like an external USB drive? Absolutely.

Anyone know the path to hitting them with CCPA info/take down requests?

I mean, this is c/piracy, you can pretty easily go download a non-HDR version of everything. If you do want HDR just not DV, most decent DV encodes also have a HDR10 fallback which should kick in if your device doesn’t support DV.

Alternatively, I’m pretty sure there are plenty of tools out there like DoVi Tool that can help you convert the HDR metadata to HDR10/10+ if that’s what you want.
