Yeah but putting it on 4G gives them a reason to charge for continuous use of the system and lock them in to their web based proprietary platform.
IDK about movies/TV shows being in decline here, it seems to be in better shape now than when I first left the sea 15 years ago. New stuff, especially movies, hits the trackers way faster than they did "back then" and are easily available from public trackers. I can still find all the older things I want, granted some it only on the private trackers I'm using, but it's being kept alive. Old or niche media has always been the hardest to find with torrents, but it really feels easier now than it did when I first started out 25 years ago.
As for books, I rent most of them from my local library as e-books, strip the DRM so I can read on me reader, and immediately return so someone else can rent them. I haven't really needed to pirate a book in years by doing it this way.
Printing and binding is expensive, not to mention a waste of paper, you can't really expect them to front that cost IMO. He should have just given you the PDF instead printing it.
The phrasing of the law would most likely allow use of VPN for commercial use but ban for private use, so it's unlikely to have a major impact on coorporate IT work in general.
The article also mentions this VPN ban in a context of VPN services being marketed specifically for piracy use as the scope rather than "legitimate" VPN services in general.
But yeah, these people can get bent...
Financially? Definitely not
But it's an enjoyable (and occasionally frustrating) hobby, so I'd say it's worth it.
Im running qbit in docker and haven't had a single issue with it.
Yeah the documentation (if it even exists) of most projects is usually clearly written by people intimately familiar with the project and then never reviewed to make sure it makes sense for people unfamiliar with it. But writing good detailed documentation is also really hard, especially for a specialist because many nontrivial things are trivial to them and they believe what they're writing is thorough and well explained even though it actually isn't.
The chassis/case is definitely not designed for that kind of load for extended periods of time.
OMFG...i fucking hate anime and their fucked up way of doing seasons.
It doesn't show up when searching for the name though
First time, it was because I was a kid that couldn't pay for the movies/music/games I wanted. The high seas provided me with a solution for that.
Then I started making money and Netflix streaming came along making it both cheap and convenient. I docked my ship and forgot about my pirate life for a long time. Everything was good, living a quiet life...
But then the corporate greed caught up and ruined everything. Streaming prices became absurd, content got fragmented to way too many services and they fucking started introducing ads.
So here I am, setting sail once again. I didn't need or want this, but they have forced my hand with their infinite greed.
DANMARK DANMARK DANMARK 🎉
Bortset fra det, så må det da kunne løses på en eller anden måde, så det kommer videre fra f.eks. feddit.dk?
