A ton of people using github barely understand the different between github and git and often think they are the same thing or that github and git are somewhat related more than they really are.

You could use a custom XferCommand command per PACMAN.CONF(5) with wget using -6

Something like this might work:

XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget -6 -c -O %o %u

I would return it, but if you are curious you can try some of the following to get experiencing identifying bad disks.

You could try a different computer or controller to be sure.

If you can get some writes/reads to work, you can use badblocks or dm-crypt: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Badblocks#Alternatives

Badblocks will write known data to disk then read it to verify its good. If the disk is malicious, this can be faked. badblocks is also a little slow.

Using dm-crypt in the wiki will write zeros through dm-crypt which will result in random noise being written to disk, then compare with zeros to verify reads are good. This can not be faked easily since the zero stream is encrypted as it is written to disk.

I would advise just creating ~/.bin or ~/.local/share/bin and dropping it in there. As long as you have permission to that directory, yt-dlp should be able to easily update itself.

I was very against Biden dropping out, but i think this is a pretty good point. I think it is still very risky for her to run due to race and sex discrimination, but it might not be a predetermined loss at least.

If you were willing to spend money, why not just get it from RH directly.

It's basically how widevine works. The hardware "secure" boots the OS, and the OS only loads signed code. And there is a chain of custody all the way to the hardware, so the software that communicates with the server can attest that it is the same as what they expect.

The simple explanation is that they wish to further erode property ownership by the proletariat by locking down operating systems such that they can't do as their owners wish, but only what the corporation wants.

Insurance doesn't work very well for things like hurricanes. When big events happen that cause large percentages of their policy holders to file claims at the same time, it results in large payouts which causes increases in price. When prices go up, people don't insure. This combined with the fact that florida gets hurricanes means prices for insurance are high.

Maybe the state could help by introducing laws to help combat insurance fraud, but that could lead to consumers getting fucked by their insurance companies.

I am currently looking for a way to easily store and run commands, usually syncing files between two deeply nested directories whenever I want.

So far I found these projects:

Other solutions:

  • Bash history using ^+r
  • Bash aliases
  • Bash functions

What do you guys use?

BitTorrent v2 allows this also. In v1, torrents with multiple files are hashed continuously (cat) together without respect to file boundaries. A side effect of this that many people notice is that to grab a specific file may require downloading some of the files before or after the one you want.

Under v2, each file is hashed separately, so this fixes the aforementioned problem and should allow sharing of files across torrent files.

Wouldn't advise turning off ipv6. We are probably getting near the point where some public services will disable or offer v4 as only best effort, and when this happens, your connectivity will be broken for certain things if you disable v6. Heck, it's to the point now where all my home hosted services are v6 only.

The better solution is to just get a VPN that supports ipv6 like airvpn or mullvad. I think pia disables ipv6 while the tunnel is up, which is better than disabling ipv6 altogether.

To validate the tunnel is working properly you can use something like this.

https://ipleak.net/

There is also a Torrent Address detection section, that when you activate it, will provide a magnet link that will show your ip to ensure that it is tunneled properly.

DNS doesn't really matter for piracy, but it can help improve privacy and security.

DNS over TLS will ensure all your dns requests are encrypted, and most clients actually validate the certificate so attempts to hijack the connection are not easily possible.

Firefox can bypass your systems DNS and use DoH. I think windows also supports DoT.

For Linux, systemd networkd and resolved also support DoT.

Keep in mind that some software does not obey system dns settings and can do their own DNS.

You can use this: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmbpRxBZ5HDZDVRoeAU8xFYnoP4r5eGCxdkmfFW3JbA6mq/

That is a low tech html page that can search the SQLite database someone posted. That page is hosted on IPFS, which you can access through one of the gateways, although I posted a link to the page via one of the gateways.

On that page is a button you can press for more information on how to download it to your local computer to have a speedy local copy.

How I have been using it is: search in the following format: [name] [release year] [quality like 1080p] [encode like x265]

do note that the database is not being updated since RARBG is obviously gone now, but stuff prior and including some of 2023 is all there, most what rarbg released.
