The sequel to none pizza with left beef

You just proved my point. I said none of that.

Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know what you’re talking about.

No. Hardlinks and CoW filesystems are different things.

I don’t know much about hardlinks on windows, but hardlinks usually are two different inodes pointing to the same file. This means, for the user, a single file appears duplicated, but without using any extra space. However, both files are really the same one, so if you modify one, the other one also gets modified.

CoW filesystems, on the other hand, are a bit more complex. When you store a file, its contents get first stored, and then a file references them. When you copy the file, a copy of the reference is made, and there is no need to copy the content, because it’s already there. If you modify one of the copies, the difference between them gets stored (the modified content), but other parts of the file (or files in a folder) that don’t get modified are not duplicated.

The fact that it needs a bridge is what makes it not federated. Federation allows for interconnection without bridges, because everything talks the same protocol. You can bridge Discord to Matrix, and that doesn’t mean Discord is federated.

He isn’t even being better than anyone, all he does is publicity stunts while not fixing anything. Everything he has donated was for tax writeoffs.

There used to be a bug in ms word (idk if it’s still there, it’s been years since I last used any ms office app) where, if you had a separate printing server connected to a printer, and the printer was off but the server was online, it would try to fetch printer features, resulting in an unanswered request that would end up timing out. For some reason, word would completely freeze until the request timed out at 30s. No input worked, screen didn’t refresh, window controls didn’t work either. Completely frozen. And the worst part was that word would try to fetch printer features every time you clicked completely unrelated buttons. Want to export to PDF? Frozen for 30s. Want to save your document with a different name? First wait for 30s. Oh, you want to change the page size? You guessed it, 30s frozen.

The reality is that if you want to have access to that privilege, you should not abuse it. The fact that communities were built in a car centric manner does not imply you can do whatever you want because nobody can take your car away. Either you drive responsibly, or you don’t drive.

I’m not saying you should be taken to prison. All I’m saying is if you don’t know how to drive safely, you shouldn’t drive. If people are unable to drive at safe speeds, they should not drive at all, and it’s up to them to figure out an alternative (public transport, bike) or find a job that they can walk to.

I’m not leaving anyone without the option to go to work or drive anywhere, if they want that they can just drive responsibly.

That’s a slippery slope. The limits are there for a reason, and it’s considered unsafe to go faster. Everyone should be doing the speed limit, and if people consistently drive over the limit, they should absolutely have their licenses removed.

If driving is essential for you, then you shouldn’t drive like an asshole, go over the speed limit multiple times or drive recklessly, endangering others.

If you’re putting people in danger because you can’t understand the implications of driving a multi-ton metal box at insane speeds, you shouldn’t be allowed to do it.

Working for and allowing people to kill other people is also a pretty shitty thing to do.

Torrenting on the TOR network is actively discouraged. It uses a lot of bandwidth, and it hurts other people’s speeds.

If you want to torrent on an anonymous network, use I2P. It may be harder to set up than TOR, but you can torrent entirely inside it. It has trackers inside, and a lot of clearnet torrents have also been listed on them. And most importantly, I2P is more prepared for torrenting than TOR is. When you connect to it, you add capacity to the network, so using bandwidth for torrenting is not as detrimental to it.

I torrent without VPN in the EU. I’ve been doing so for years. Still no letters as of writing this comment.

My Samsung microwave works just fine and has been doing so for the last twenty years

It is true, and I’ve seen it myself. At first I refused to believe, but sadly we’re already at that state.

This. Actually most countries leave you alone if you’re not trying to profit from torrents. I can say the same about Spain, I’ve never heard of anyone getting any warning for torrenting and half the people I know torrent everyday without a VPN.

That is exactly my point. If you use encryption, they will not be able to retroactively see what you torrented, and they can’t punish you just for having torrent traffic because it could be legal torrents.

There’s FinAmp for jellyfin. There’s also support for LiveTV and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was at least a plugin for IPTV.
