Holy shit that image is so fucking based. I'm glad I'm not the only one who realizes how stupid consumerist rhetoric is.

Everyone who thinks art won't get made or engineering won't get done without copyright and patent laws has never paid attention to history.

And people like to forget the artist is the first one screwed out of their work when the corporations get involved.

Engineers and scientists often are too, at least they get a decent salary for it though. (See intermittent windshield wipers, the sticky note, ect)

Its nearly impossible nowadays to create a novel invention and not get it effectively stolen by a big company that already pulled up the ladders. Ask anyone selling on Amazon.

They use reddit instead of lemmy or their own forum... bizarre.

It would definitively be nice to see them on FOSS platforms, they probably just want to be where the users are. But yeah, I do agree

Genuinely pretty interesting. It's one thing to know a shadow library like Anna's Archive exists, but it's another to see what goes into it behind the scenes. Most people just see webpages. To many, it's where the books come out of for free, nothing more.

The post links to the original version of this. It's the "innovation tokens" link.

Completely missed that! No wonder that the post made me think of it then!

Autossh does not do tcp-over-tcp when forwarding, if I understand that correctly. TCP is from localhost client to localhost SSH client, no syn/ack frames are tunnelled, just the data stream.

I've had a similar setup, and also found Wireguard unreliable. Went with Nebula and never looked back, not once I had a network problem caused by it.

Man, if I ever find my books via their search, I'll be so hyped

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

I've found scans of books I've done myself on their search :)
