The best pirates are librarians with legit ethics.
Preserve human knowledge and make it available to everyone.
I hate that you are right about mostly just greedy dipshits pissing in the high seas without contributing.
We should have taken up arms after Aaron Swartz…
Asiandvdclub (not the shady remake)
What.cd. - RED is great but there’s still a hole…
He is referring to turning Lemmy code itself into a decentralized tracker software.
A torrent post to Lemmy that your client would download Meta data from etc.
Yup. No clue on cause etc. even some services on the irc are hosed.
Edit: in some other irc, saw word it’s being worked on and status ”wonky"
Tech issue seems. Don’t think a takedown or malfeasance.
If you are decent with script type stuff, and have tasker, I believe you can build your own via kwgt:

You can use tasker to set up variables that kwgt then can render in several ways.
I’ve only done simpler things but it’s worked well for me for years.
That server sounds a bit older in the teeth… Has new thermal paste been applied to the cpu? Even if the reported temps are under 90c, you might be getting hot spots causing glitches inside the package.
Worth trying a couple of different generations of kernel as well, both newer and older. You might be hitting a regression somewhere.
Holy crap that is comprehensive. Great timing since I’m about to wipe and redo my server from scratch.
Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely this. Save trouble.
If absolutely in need of a backplane, look for old chassis parts from super micro on eBay.
Ironically mine started without nefarious connotations… The family computer in the mid 80s was a minor novelty to me for ages, only good for simple text games really. Then…
My brother grabbed a cracked game toward 1990 off a BBS. The game itself I don’t even remember, but it had a cracktro that stunned me. Graphics I’d never seen, actual music out our little adlib card… Was crazy enticing.
Being stuck in the Midwest US while enamored with DemoScene is a hell of a drug. Every few kb down that modem was like crack.
That then opened a new world of games as well… Things my older brother had no interest in. Things my parents obviously would not have allowed. You know… The Good Shit ™️.
Obviously once codecs caught up video and audio quickly became a thing. My closest buddy and I would burn stack after stack of CDs to take a spindle at a time over to share between us and others.
Then the data hoarding set in… What good is just having these shiny things for yourself when you can share? True joy doesn’t exist without spreading it to others.
The sickness persists… Stronger than ever despite becoming a pessimistic old man. Multiple gigabit connections: check. 200tb arrays just for torrents: check. Seed times tracked in years: check.
Remember when 14.4k was the most epic thing for grabbing those disks at lightning speed? I certainly do.
Run SMART short tests on your drives. Any “pending sectors” at all are failure.
If the test has any problems, especially pending sectors, replace the drive.
Looking closed at the moment to me…
Major typically writes these as much for his own notes / thoughts as anything. Having some insight into how he got where he is in the process can help some others learn. I’ve learned tons from the guy.
I’ve known him over 15 years, and he always has written posts for himself first. This isn’t a bad way, just maybe not the simplest for experienced folks. Laying out your own thoughts along the path can help later when you wonder why you did X instead of Y.
Well I’m just gonna have to pirate it EVEN HARDER.
