How To Store, Stream, Backup & Protect?
  • with minimal admin required (which is my main issue, i don't really wanna admin stuff in my free time)

    that's actually one of my fave recent things they give up with their security reports and points out I installed Entware (aka Optware for alt devices) even thou it's not been used. They're nifty things

  • People who charge/discharge between 20-80%, how's your device?
  • I usually limit it to 80% during the summer, but because I work outside and through the night too my battery can reach very low temperature levels which absolutely hammers my battery life so I let it charge to 100% / or just to warm it up via a small powerbank on my FLT sometimes during the winter months.

    As for longevity? I usually go through a phone every year or two so I don't see the wear of of what others are saying in here using their phone for over two years (that's my max), but I feel the 20/80% guideline is a fair one to go by since the reported 100% isn't fully accurate anyway.

  • DivestOS shut down, impacting apps like Mull. Which browser are you going to use?
  • it's written in plain language

    Could you cite the parts which are irking you specifically please?

    Taking someone's word for it isn't really kosher in terms of privacy for some people, but I do reckon they'd like to hear your thoughts.

  • Android 15 sideloading restrictions are a raw deal for users
  • I've also been using Linux for a similar amount of time, and it's only at work now I have to use Windows.

    And as for home users using Linux? I have a few family members quite happy with Ubuntu / Firefox since all they need is a browser and VLC for their "PC", so I don't know where you got that "it'll never get there" metric from.

    Alright they don't have a clue how Jellyfin works on that box, but they sure do appreciate and use it a lot these days now they've got used to it / dumping Netflix.

  • Bogus Pirate IPTV Portals Run By Law Enforcement "Entrap Hundreds" * TorrentFreak
  • Why would they do that?

    Easy.

    Back scratching and you've got to remember these community's / sport / events have global bodies such as UEFA wanting their ching ching.

    Them getting off their cushion of sponsors sending them money for the infra, and then doing fuck all other than regulating how the monies comes in is fairly telling how it's going to affect them both downstream and, upstream :/

  • It's nothing like that :D

    Once you're in a pool like I was above, you get websites that collate this data. But the thing is is that "IP pool" was also shared with someone else hence it showing me "liking porn", even though I never touched these mofo's

    That's the thing - it is legal. Whether you're in a public library, torrent swarm, or on the high seas. Makes no difference if you want to play by every law; of every land.

    You could be there all day playing whack-a-mole but ships cruising by don't really care since that bounty is shared already.

  • The fuck are you on?

    Yes, the very same could be said about your comment since CSAM and "cyberstalking" randomly came into your argument even though there's no reference to that above.

  • in most lands

    Well in that sense you're breaking the law of your land by commenting on such a forum since we're on the high seas here if you didn't notice?

    And no, I didn't intend to be rude if you're inferring that but it's blatantly clear what this forum is for and them being employed by someone who purports to protect their privacy selling such a service but then feigning ignorance

    In most jurisdictions, piracy is illegal no?

    if "it's illegal", is telling.

    So, you understand how things work then right? Or are you being hypothetical?

    In most jurisdictions, piracy is illegal no?

    No, it's actually embraced by communities such as this sprouting up. Are you a caveman or something?

  • Which i can ignore with out any issue since they have no idea who i am.

    Issues will arise if you reply to them.

    This sounds like the scare tactics they use for TV licensing here in the UK and is telling by how they change the letters to "The Occupier" after no replies to their scam.

    Knock knock knock through the day / evening when housewife's are about and they prowl like fuckers. I had the opportunity to scare one away when they didn't expect it (really didn't like the fact that however much they asked for "my name" they got a blank look) and they ain't been back for years :/

    Fuck Capita for scaring old ladies and fellow sailors.

  • lol, likes porn eh?

    I love these labels and torrenting porn is so noobie it's not even funny, and don't most use Bing for that?

  • Piracy and torrents have made my life so much better
  • The score was underrated too IMO.

    It used to grip my dad and he could never normally shut up during shows like that, but for like you say not a peep out of him for near enough a solid hour which was odd. He loved that shit ;)

  • Piracy and torrents have made my life so much better
  • For anyone else interested in Line of Duty.......

  • How risky is it to run a media stack without a vpn?
  • Depends on how you currently download your bounty, and if it's currently via torrents / public trackers like I do and you don't get angry nastygrams from your ISP (Britbong here), you're good to go?

    If not however use of a VPN is recommended and you could go one further actually and buy yourself Usenet access, which means you don't need no VPN and you're rock and roll.

    From what I recall thou you Aussies have lots of anti-pirate groups being knobheads so probably wise to hide your traffic? arrr

  • The best phones with a headphone jack - December 2024
  • To be honest, I've used Bluetooth headphones before Android was even a thing (stupid W850i proprietary ports and all) and love them.

    However, dickhead here just put my Soundcore buds through the wash so there is argument for me having a backup which this Poco F6 is now lacking.

    It's a silly divisive topic IMO which is never gonna be solved when blog authors put out articles like the above.

  • Moving from iOS to GrapheneOS, need guidance

    Well, I've used Newpipe for the longest time but depending on your internet connection / CGNAT'ed or, even using a VPN means it won't work unless you do sign in :/

  • [SOLVED] Any of you guys solved this crap with the arrr stack downloading ".lnk" ".scr" files?

    I've told qbit to exclude those files and many other extensions from someone's helpful comment on here previously, but the stack keeps on grabbing and seeding them, which the latter I'm a little unhappy about sharing malware.

    While all the boxes on my network have no sign of Windows to get exploited it does worry me about another family members arrr stack because there is a Windows laptop down there, but thankfully not used for media consumption.

    Help?

    edit: big thanks to kiszkot@feddit.nu for pointing me in line separators instead of comma separated exclusions!

    [YouTube] Can't play any video - "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot" Β· Issue #11139 Β· TeamNewPipe/NewPipe

    I seem to be suffering from the above bug

    https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

    but it only seems to pervade if I'm using Tailscale to VPN home to my exit node at a family members house?

    Is Google / YT blocking the use of VPN's here / anyone else experiencing this?
