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.

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

oops, should be fixed now

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/

If you want to follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon, there’s a bridge called Bird.Makeup that still works and is working on 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: https://agorasocial.app/#/andrew.masto.host/a/111844567849084915

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.

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?

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.
