  • Judging by the IP address, lemmy.ml seems to be located in France. That’s not fantastic for take-down notices, as far as I’m aware.

    I’m in Serbia, land of the free, home of the torrents. I don’t know if there are VPS providers here, but if so, it’s a good country for hosting anything but government criticism (not that you’d need to criticize Vućić the benevolent, long may he reign).

    Nice blog post, and always nice to see RSS feeds.

    I’ve never had practical trouble downloading scripts and identifying the creators, because I use package managers. I think the best general solution for normal end-users getting packages they can trust is always a well-audited package manager.

    And of course, the GPG key solution seems to work well enough for coders.

    I can’t imagine a general solution to Github workflows. I use Gitlab’s CI for LaTeX documents, but terraform code would obviously be better for other projects. I sounds like disparate solutions is a good idea.

    I’m not sure MS will have much luck using EEE on GPL projects.

    When .doc format was extended, they then ‘extended’ it with proprietary features, then extinguished competition by locking them out of those additional features.

    You can download all Github projects, and wikis, because they’re all based on Git, and the only ‘extensions’ particular to Github are CLI specs, and issues, which can also be ported easily.

    I’d find this a niussance. I use automatic git merges and pushes through ssh keys.

    Perhaps the article is trying to talk about removing ‘password-only’ authentication, but what it says is that it requires ‘one or more forms of two-factor authentication’, which suggests a second or third form of authentication, so ssh-keys-only seems like it’s out.



  • I’d really like to continue seeding while I watch my downloaded video;

    That’s better… but a week seems more sustainable.

    I suppose the best result would be to cut if anything has more than 20 seeders, keep for a week if it has 5, and seed forever while is has 1 or 2. I’m mostly worried about torrent health on the old book collections I occasionally download.



  • I’m remaking the script right now with btfs as an option for those who don’t have peerflix in their distro’s package manager.

    Adding an option to leave something seeding would be good too, for some default time, like ‘7 days’, or perhaps a time proportional to the filesize, so you could add a series and leave it for a month.

    I guess you could use transmission-remote, but it won’t auto-play like btfs does. Any ideas for both auto-playing and long-term seeding?
