IPT admins will ban literally anyone for literally any reason, then tell you they’ll reinstate your account if you donate. This is their business model and they’ve been doing it for many many years. Aside from predatory donation fishing, there’s a ton of very low quality content on IPT. The kind of stuff that would be banned on any respectable private tracker.

I think “What Remains of Edith Finch” traumatized me to this day.

That makes total sense from a corporate perspective. Maybe I would just love to be the one the pushes us a little bit closer to the enduser having control of their data and hardware. Its probably a pipe dream though lol.

I’m planning on getting some recertified Seagate Ironwolfs from SeverPartDeals very soon

GPLs “restrictions” are freedom preserving though. It only restricts developers from keeping dirivitive code proprietary. In order to violate the GPL you’d have to choose to use GPL code and then choose not to release your modified versions of it under a similar copyleft license. It may seem counterintuitive, but having those restrictions results in more software freedom overall - similar to the paradox of intolerance.

I’m not saying MIT or so called permissive licenses are bad, but the permissive/restrictive language is just as loaded as the OPs suggestions. Both styles are needed, but copyleft licenses are better at promoting software freedom.

Edit: I do agree with you that LGPL serves an important role in promoting free/libre software where it would otherwise would never be used.

Edited my kernal parameters to prevent my CPU from going into a low power state that had been causing crashes for years apparently.

Edit: if you use 1st gen ryzen and have been putting up with intermittent crashes thinking it was your shitty old used GPU like me, try disabling c-state 6.

Why would you not be able to access the filesystem of a device you own and are in possession of? Is this some kind of walled-garden thing I’m too Apple-free to understand?

Um… Its not ironic at all? Mozilla has been active and well regarded in privacy oriented spaces for many years.

It’s not just about the content posted by individuals though. The community and relationships built on a centralized platform are also at risk to a much greater degree than they would be on federated social media.

Well since nobody can name a tracker with any AV1 content, I will for anyone finding this post in the future.

As mentioned in the OP, LST.gg has an uploader, KIMJI, who encodes western cartoons, TV, and movies in 1080p AV1. I personally love the quality and file size of his encodes. There’s some other AV1 content there as well. Several WhiskeyJack encodes have been uploaded, although I don’t know where they originate.

I really wish I knew where to find anime in AV1 still.

I love KIMJI encodes.

Yea I’ve heard that grain synthesis can be tough to get right with AV1. I’ve seen people (that know much more than me) talk about ways to make it better though.

I think Av1an gets better results.

I do think that’s why people like it more for cartoons and anime.

Any release groups you see consistently?

I’m well aware of the tradeoffs. Besides, encodes of remuxes and full disks can easily be better quality than web-dls, and with av1 or HEVC can be smaller file size too.

How would you get through the install though? Are there any simple solutions without any graphics output?

What if I’ve never built a headless system and am afraid of not having easy access to a GUI?

MAM is a private torrent tracker with tons of ebooks. They definitely have a lot of magazines, but maybe not the most expansive collection around. They do interviews to join regularly.

Mastodon is easily the largest decentralized social network. Idk what you’re on about.
