I think I just figured it out, hang on with me.

It’d be the tech literate person in the family. The nephew that’s working as a programmer or something like that. Now, if that nephew has some interest in stealing their uncles money, they now have access to their bank account through a freely rooted phone.

This gives them a lot of options, which I don’t have to explain.

Given that a lot of scams actually happen between presumed family and friends…

Yeah I kinda get why banks are doing this

us trans people try to do that, but we’re constantly being told not to

Hell yeah!! I’ve been playing the old version quite a lot and had hell of a blast with it! I’m looking so forward to this (even though I’ll definitely wait a week for reviews before jumping in blindly)

little late but I kinda feel like responding:

The beds are outside in the countryside, usually on fields that are owned by the farmers who offer the “rooms”, so they’re a bit secluded.

You’re brought there by said farmer, he shows you around a bit, shows the fridge, etc. Then he leaves again.

If you need any room service, you just call up the farmer and he comes back to bring it.

No idea about toilets, but I think you’d also have to walk back to the farm. Same if it rains. Pretty much all of those openair hotels are ran by those kinds of farmers anyway, who were used to hotel guests as they’ve been offering “sleeping in the hey” kinda things since years, so for them, it’s pretty much the same, except being a little (sometimes a lot) further away and being logistically a bit more challenging.

The person who noticed that the Proud Boys were coming to town and rallied people to a counter-protest? Definitely a leader

Nahh you got that wrong. What usually happens is that a lot of people who are into politics (which left-extreme people often are) hear about this at the same time (through some press release, some proud boys twitter account who’s rallyin their followers, etc.).

From that point the information spreads over friendsgroups, small discords, tweets, whatsapps, in person, slowly but steadily.

Any left-extreme person who hears this immediately thinks “I’m mad, I wanna show those guys that they’re not welcome”. Granted, some of us think about much more extreme things, but back to the point. The first reaction from that thought is often “is there a counter protest?”. People are then doing the same thing but the other way around, as now everyone is trying to find some tweet, event, whatsapp message screenshot, whatever, of someone saying where the meeting point for an event would be. If none are found, someones gonna create something, which is usuqlly someone who’s got a lot of connections with other left-extremists. Often there’s multiple people creating the same counterprotest, which gets super messy at times, but somehow everyone manages to meet up in some general spot.

Worst case you just have a bunch of friends groups going to the meeting spot of wherever the initial event is happening.

That’s “the antifa”. A massive network of friends and friends of friends of friends who are all pretty aligned in their political views (which is “fuck Nazis”) but who often don’t know more then 5 other antifacists.

Swiss here, no it isn’t. Here’s a (german) overview of a few “openair hotels”: https://www.stilpalast.ch/travel/specials/schlafen-unter-freiem-himmel-7144

Hah, I can still reply from Sync

Definitely interesting to keep an eye out for, given that once AI tech has advanced far enough, we’ll likely see some impressive RPGs (or even MMOs) encorporating such tech.

Let’s move on…

Why

I just don’t care about any of that at all. I have around 100TB of seeding accumulated over the years, no VPN, zero security measures, nothing ever happened at all.

Given that it’s Hetzner, there’s not much you can do besides telling them “oops sorry didn’t know this was illegal” and proceed using a VPN on your seedbox, go private tracker or just use a different hoster. Hetzner isn’t a big fan of torrenting since they have the (german) feds in their neck.

This guy is creating amazing short videos where he’s debunking UFO sightings with a huge amount of science and simple graphical tools.

What happened?

I got my ass back into Cyberpunk 2077 of all things.

I recently upgraded my rig with a new GPU + Monitor combo and wanted to check out a more graphic intense game. I somehow got hooked after that, especially since I love the mantis blade combat style (which seems to be unique).

I kinda wanted to just play BG3 since it released, but I guess that can wait for a while, especially since I might have to fully replay CP77 once Phantom Liberty drops lol

Most people understand the word “private tracker” as a website like piratebay which you can only enter if someone else invites you. It often involves a requirement to seed some amount back into the network.

There are some names of known private trackers out there, there are ways to get an invite, sometimes it even involves something as simple as a donation (that’s how I got in, currently sitting on the leaderboard for amount of data seeded). Once you’ve entered one private tracker, there’s also easy ways to enter others, since you show credibility and commitment.

I think that sums it up nicely.

If you want to support the creator, spread the word. Paying for things will generally just fill the purses of some rich ass media company execs who sit around all day masturbating on their third yacht.

By spreading the word, the creator is suddenly known for “having created this media that everyone knows”, landing them better deals with media corporations.

This concept applies to pretty much all media in all forms.

Technically they somehow exploded to 5800 monthly listeners, but Valkyrik could use some more love. Last time I checked all their songs were at >1000 plays, even though, again, that somehow changed recently.

Oh, yup, makes sense and sounds reasonably suspicious haha

I’d actually rather love some sort of different campaign or some adventure packs, similar to how D&D does it with their expansion books.

Either that or a great mod tool that would allow for something like that. Doesn’t even need support for added races, classes or traits. Just a map editor with a mob editor slapped on top would be a gamechanger

Which canton of Switzerland?
