Assuming the implementation is done in such a way that I am not indirectly owned by the manufacturer of the BCI and am capable of maintaining its software and firmware myself...yes yes absolutely yes stick that shit in my head.
But if it is not open source and I'm expected to be tied to some corporate entity just to utililze it, no, absolutely not.
Just look at the bit rate of what you are streaming and multiply it by 3 then add a little extra for overhead.
Ah, I was wondering why I couldn't get it to detect my yubikey. I saw keepassxc-full in the repo but that also didn't seem to work. I'll have to revisit it.
But the article explains that there is a technical reason.
The primary reason a private track is private is to make it feasible to maintain a curated community. Many users are not good torrent citizens. Many users are not good netizens in the first place. More than a few will look to actively do harm. Keeping a mostly closed community allows the vetting of users and those who end up breaking the rules are dealt with swiftly.
The extra barrier of entry also helps prevent bad actors from operating on the site. This is of course not a full proof thing but it is obviously much better than a public site.
Additionally running a private tracker and site takes server resources that are not free. Limiting the total number of users is a way of maintaining uptime by staying within your operational limits.
I'm sure there are other benefits for private trackers but these are at least a few.
I am not going to explain why someone on the internet was mean to you. Given the tone of this post I wouldn't be surprised if it was deserved.
Are you asking about why private trackers are private or are you asking about why a handful of people were mean to you who also happened to use a private tracker?
Edit: typo
There sure is a lot of ultra-triggered atheists in here!
No one is answering my question:
Why can’t you see a post or comment about religion and say to yourself, “Oh, this is not for or about me” and then just move on to another post?
I do. You don't see those posts because they don't exist.
A question in exchange. Why do religious people have to constantly insert their beliefs into the lives of everyone else? Why is the primary stance of a major political party one steeped in what they claim to be religion yet is overwhelmingly full of hate?
Debian for all things.
Care to cite your sources in that claim? I'm know they are far from anything that could be considered "good" but "worse than cigs" is news to me.
Is self hosting a valid answer?
I host my own email.
So, why use Linux
Because I prefer it in functionally every way to Windows. I prefer (when feasible) to use open source and/or FLOSS software. I am vastly more familiar with Linux than I am Windows on a technical level. I generally dislike most things about Windows.
and use Steam
It works, it's convenient, they have a generally good track record of not screwing over users.
I prefer many of the features of Linux distros, but using a client like Steam defeats the purpose of them.
That is a pretty serious leap in logic. You're welcome to not like Steam on a technical, moral, and/or philosophical level but at the end of the day it is a single application and saying that using Linux while also using Steam "defeats the purpose of Linux" is ridiculous. Linux is an Operating System, it is meant to assist the user in computing. If the user is using Linux to compute they are fulfilling the exact purpose of Linux, that being an open and free operating system to be used by any who desire it.
They watch the swarm. You can view connections of the swarm. They see your ISP owned IP and send an email.
