It’s pointless arguing this on Lemmy. Everyone here is convinced that the Islamic jihadists are oppressed and just want peace despite what they actually say and do.

Fair enough
I think it’s a common argument that’s been made by Hitchens and Steven Fry too, but you’re right 😁
Looking at the pain and suffering in the world, any god that is not only capable of stopping that, but is by definition the one that made things this way, the only logical conclusion is he’s evil, Abrahamic or otherwise
There is no god, but if there was one, the only logical conclusion is that he’s evil. So whatever you call it, your religion is the most sane one I’ve ever heard about
An IPTV service is probably going to be the best way to watch live. If you can wait a bit and not watch live, smcgill is the man
*Peace of mind
Thanks, think that’s the one I remember. Would be great if there was an open alternative
Edit: there are open source repositories but I’m not sure if part of it is closed source? https://github.com/acestream?tab=repositories
Lidarr works ok
I can’t remember the name now (and struggling to find it) but there was some packaging of VLC with I think a customised libtorrent, where someone would effectively broadcast with an infohash (sha hash like in a torrent) and people could stream and share with not much latency. Hashes were shared on sites/telegram/discord etc and it seemed to work ok.
Surprised it didn’t become more popular/standardised
Fair point, but it needs action, not just laughing at someone getting cancer
Fair enough!
So petition for the monarchy to be dismantled. Write to your MP. If there’s enough support for it maybe we can get a referendum for it. Though unfortunately I don’t think there’s yet a significant majority of the public that do want that.
I just don’t get being happy at him having cancer. That doesn’t even bring us any closer to dismantling the monarchy. But I guess you must have reasons for having more hatred for him that I’ve not been exposed to
I can understand you wanting to abolish the royal family (I do too), but I can’t understand your hatred of him personally, to actually be happy he has cancer. He doesn’t seem like a bad/evil person to me
Bring back Virgin Trains!
In simpler times, everyone that connected to the internet had an IP address. It’s 4 bytes, which means 4 digits between 0 and 255, so your IP might be 127.6.99.0. In these simpler times everyone could connect to everyone else, but if you want to run different services on your ip like a web server, email, etc, you had to do it on different ports. So if I connect to you on port 80, by convention that was web traffic. On port 21 was for file transfer. But that’s just convention. Any service can be on any port as long as you know which ip and which port to connect to. BitTorrent is no different. It listens on a port for connections from others.
It then got more complicated because people had multiple devices on their home internet connection and there aren’t enough ip addresses to give every device one. So then there was port forwarding (nat). All the devices share one IP address, and the router has rules for which port for incoming connections to forward to which internal device. Two devices can’t use the same port because there would be no way to know where to send the connection.
VPN is the same concept. You’re sharing an IP with that other people on one VPN server and if you want other people to connect to you you need a port forwarded just to you, like you would do on your router.
Very high level. I’ll try to answer if you have more specific questions
I agree with you, but not sure how you can generalise the “liberal” position on that. I consider myself liberal and agree with everything you said
Some vpns support usually a single port forward but it can be restricted to certain servers and potentially tricky to set up. Others can answer better on individual providers.
But just to correct a common misconception, port forwarding has nothing to do with seeding vs leeching. Port forwarding is so that you are connectable (others can connect to you). Two peers that are not connectable cannot connect to each other, but as long as one is connectable then a connection can be made and data can be uploaded/downloaded between the two.
So not being connectable will reduce the number of peers you can connect to, which will only really be an issue on torrents with few peers
Can you still get working ones? My old tv won’t get a signal from my new receiver because it’s not got a sufficient hdcp version. Would one of these work to avoid a new tv?
Never heard of it
