I only use them to dry my shoes and to wrap bio waste, but there's still about 3 (bi-weekly) newspapers getting delivered to my door. They are ad supported and I don't know anyone reading them, except for a few people over the years which complained about not receiving theirs.

I almost forgot there's also the community sheet ("Gemeindeblatt"), which includes local events, trash collection dates, job postings: coincidentally they are currently in need of someone delivering this local paper for the next few weeks.

Klar. Das ganze wird sicherlich nicht gerade billig sein, dementsprechend wird es möglichst weit verbreitet. Welch eine tolle Investition /s

Heise is a German specifically tech news outlet, so they are generally quite good with facts about tech.

These arrests are targeted at an illegal IPTV provider which restreams channels from licensed TV providers (Sky, DAZN, RTL+). These illegal IPTV services usually also provide on-demand content like Netflix shows, movies etc.

The CSAM incident is definitely an additional charge for a single individual and not part of the prior investigation about an illegal IPTV service which provides customers with otherwise legal TV.

Sicherlich gibt es verschiedene Gründe, wie von anderen Kommentaren schon geschrieben wurde.

Ich habe über die Jahre schon ein paar Mal Beiträge heruntergewählt, die eigene Meinung enthielten. Je nach Thema und wie die Formulierung ist, finde ich das nicht angemessen. Oder zum schlechteren geänderte Titel kann ich teilweise überhaupt nicht leiden. Im Normalfall ignoriere ich den Beitrag dann einfach.

The reason i cant get a vpn is because im just broke and im young enough to live with family so i cant really get a job.

I don't know your situation (and age) but small jobs like delivering newspapers can usually be taken up at relatively you age. They should easily cover a VPN subscription.

E.g. I was delivering newspaper biweekly for a few hours at the age of 13. Even today, the monthly pay would've been enough to pay for a year of my current VPN. Your guardians will have to approve the job but legally it shouldn't be an issue.

If you torrent without a VPN the conversation about a warning by the internet provider on behalf of some rights holder will be way worse than asking about ideas for a small (summer) job.

If you permanently seed all you've downloaded and you've been using a tracker for a while, bonus points + upload should usually cover all your downloading needs.

Starting out is difficult without a seedbox though. Especially of you don't use Cross-Seed to seed to multiple trackers. In that case it is considerably easier to pay for a seedbox.

• Pay for a month for TorrentLeechs seedbox promo to get an invite.
• wait for opensignups. HUNO, FearNoPeer, onlyencodes are solid options.
• do an "interview" at MAM. After downloading and seeding all you've downloaded for a few months, you'll be able to get into the trackers mentioned above and a few others (e.g. Aither).

Die USA haben seit vielen Jahren Gesetze, die es ihnen erlauben, auf Daten von US-Firmen zuzugreifen — unabhängig vom Standort der Datenzentren.

D.h. US-Recht ist inkompatibel mit EU-Datenschutzgestzen, da keine US-Firma garantieren kann, das die US-Behörden nicht auf Daten von Europäischen Bürgern in der EU in Europäischen Datenzentren, zugreifen können. Würde eine US-Firma im Zweifel keine Daten ausleiten, würde sie gegen US-Recht verstoßen.

It's not directly answering your questions, but I do like .pkpass. It's a good standard because it does not require accounts, links or anything like that. If you have the file, you can import it. It's the opposite of how Google does it, which makes it useful beyond Apple.

PDFs/Screenshots being invalid because it can be sent quickly to multiple people is a bad reason as you could print out multiple copies too. Sadly, being sensible is so often not a thing.

FossWallet seems to be great although I didn't try it yet.

I also really hate it when services restrict downloads depending on the platform. I.e. it could be possible that Apple users get shown a .pkpass, while Android is artificially limited to Google Wallet - even though not all devices support it. Maybe setting the user agent could help but that's just a wild guess.

That looks awesome.

Some game servers, some ISPs don't provide IPv6 for (some of) their customers.

Dev needs to eat.

Yeah it's so sad seeing studio after studio being closed down. So many commenters thought Microsoft will revive old IPs after buying studio after studio.

Now it seems like those IPs will just rot at Microsoft in their intellectual property graveyard.

• xtream
• mpv

It's a simple IPTV app. It supports m3u as well as xtream. It can be controlled by keyboard and opens videos/streams in a new mpv window.

I really like it although it does not do advanced things like showing program etc.

Arch requires reading the manual to install it, so installing it successfully is an accomplishment.

It's rolling release with a large repo which fits perfectly for regularly used systems which require up-to-date drivers. In that sense it's quite unique as e.g. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has less packages.

It has basically any desktop available without any preference or customisations by default.

They have a great short name and solid logo.

Arch is community-based and is quite pragmatic when it comes to packaging. E.g. they don't remove proprietary codecs like e.g. Fedora.

Ubuntu is made by a company and Canonical wants to shape their OS and user experience as they think is best. This makes them develop things like snap to work for them (as it's their project) instead of using e.g. flatpak (which is only an alternative for a subset of snaps features). This corporate mindset clashes with the terminally online Linux desktop community.

Also, they seem to focus more on their enterprise server experience, as that is where their income stream comes from.

But like always, people with strong opinions are those voicing them loudly. Most Linux users don't care and use what works best for them. For that crowd Ubuntu is a good default without any major downsides.

Edit: A major advantage of Ubuntu are their extended security updates not found on any other distro (others simply do not patch them). Those are locked behind a subscription for companies and a free account for a few devices for personal use.

I thought the verses might be relevant in some way to the project but they seem to be pretty generic.

Weird choice to put them at the top of their refreshingly comprehensive readme. I believe I've seen projects with a quote at the top before, although they've been shorter.

Some books have quotes before each chapter and they can be inspiring and/or interesting.

I'm using zram on all my systems, be it 4GB or 16GB. Usually swap is empty, so there's no compressing for the CPU to do anyway. If a RPI is capable of ZRAM, your PC won't break a sweat.

ZSTD is really fast. I'm using btrfs compression too, and don't notice any performance impact either.

https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/

In the devices list of lvfs/fwupd there's a bunch of controllers supported. But it seems like it's mostly their retro controllers. XBox-style controllers like their Ultimate C etc. are not supported.

Unless they are taken down, it won't be an issue. Given they've existed for a good while it's unlikely to cause a problen. Even then, hopefully they delete your payment details after a few weeks/months.

If not, paying = assisting a criminal organisation could be a crime depending on your jurisdiction. But most of the time customers aren't prosecuted, but that can change at any point in time.
