Scene doesn’t use Usenet, they uses their own top sites, the reason files are small is because FTP has its limits, files can be corrupted if something breaks in the download so they keep it small. There are also couriers that get files from one top site to another using scripts and it benefits them as they don’t hog leech slots

They’re about to turn AI into a scapegoat for why kids are stupid and blame everything on it, as if before AI our education system was perfect.

The old guard of the internet slowly retiring and leaving the new generation to take over will be such a mess in the nearby future. In the 90s-2000s a lot of sysadmins learned their skillsets by getting their hands dirty, sometimes even building ISPs from nothing. Nowadays most of the infrastructure has been laid out, it’s functional and only needs maintenance. I speak to some of the admins and a lot of them don’t even know what an ATS is. Very odd.

Great, get the necromancer then. Oh.. you don’t have one? Maybe you should’ve thought about that before putting people on death row

If you’re forced to live in Israel you won’t be publicly voicing your opinions if they’re against the norm. One of the worst insults is “deserter” for those that did not wish to serve and “leftist” if you go against the murder of innocent people. Sadly being one or the other means problems for you down the road when trying to find a job and generally living a life here. It’s a small country, word gets around quickly and you still have to live here if you don’t have any other citizenship.

If I was a news agency with an agenda I wouldn’t be broadcasting the interviews that are negative either. Those you will find on foreign TV channels, 10-20 years from now after those who are currently serving finish their mandatory service and immigrate elsewhere. Every once in a while some event happens which becomes difficult to cover up. Like the Pilot Letters from 2003 and 2023, but it is the exception rather then the norm.

Sure, but you can’t be tracked via css so it’s okay in my book. Have fun with your whacky css sites.

I can get behind no JS club, I can’t get behind no CSS club.

CSS is 🆒

I’m not a big financial expert and I haven’t read the article but the answer is most likely: the pay is shit.

Hello.

Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?

I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it's users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?

 

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a studying mate so that we can compare each other's code etc. I have a course from work for JS (it's not mandatory) but I feel like if it's any attempt I tried in the past, without anyone to study with I will mostly end up neglecting in a few days.

Which is why I'm reaching out to hopefully find someone who is on the same technical level as me to enrich our knowledge. A bit about myself: I'm a full time SysAdmin with some background knowledge in bash/python/powershell (not making any GUI apps or anything like that, just work related scripts) and I self host a few applications for myself and therefore I don't consider myself a complete beginner.

Private message me, I'm available on both Discord and Matrix.

 
 
 

As the title suggests, I'm in the market for a vacuum that doesn't phone home, not even for initial setup (if possible). This is my first time stepping into home automation so I'm not familiar with the various FOSS projects in the space. I'm comfortable with modding/rooting the vacuum so throw your suggestions, I'll research them.

Hello,

I tried in the past to wrap my head around usenet, and I bought access to some news downloader (iirc it was called that way not sure, but it was Eweka) and tried using it, the problem was that every download I tried to get was dead on arrival (link being dead, failing to verify file integrity) yet so many people on piracy forums swear by Usenet and claim that for ~$60 a year they get a much more superior experience than torrents, and yet, I currently torrent everything with no issues at all.

The reason for trying Usenet that when attempting to search some less popular TV shows/movies, I could not always find it in the quality I wanted to see, and therefore decided to give it a try.

Any suggestions?
