Yeah, the ideal outcome is someone using the site dump on Archive.org to create a sucessor site. The longer it takes to get done, the more people will rely on Dicord to host romhacks, which is terrible for discoverability.
They discuss performance in the FAQ section of this article.
I read it too fast that I thought TorrentFreak was down. 😅
Maybe he meant in the sense that they filtered out the shovelware and asset flips from Epic Games Store (at least until recently) so to make the store look good. That way they’re providing hosting only for the games that actually will be downloaded a decent amount of times, avoiding wasting storage on bad/forgotten games.
I used a seedbox some time ago to download a specific big torrent (at the time). I payed using Paypal, as I don’t consider seedboxes a low-hanging-fruit for rightsholders to persecute at the moment.
There’s too much redundant data on these services, so if they takedown one user’s data, there’s still lots of the same torrented data on other user’s. I don’t think rightsholders are willing to play wack-a-mole for such infractions.
They’d rather invest their resources on more centralized file sharing, such as big public torrent sites and cyberlockers.
If Piped is basically a proxy to access YouTube videos, who pays for this proxy (which shouldn’t be cheap)?
I’m out of the loop on this subject. I know Onedrive previously offered 15GB to free users, then strunk it to 5GB, but kept the larger amount to legacy users.
Have they made another reduction recently?
Ars Technica recently published an article very critical of Mastodon. The main takeaway is the argument that Mastodon won’t scale well to a large userbase, as the more instances there are, the bigger the server burden to everyone. And as most users are against corporate funded instances (they’d defederate from any that emerge), it may be unsustainable mid/long-term.
I wonder if these scaling-issues apply to Lemmy too? The instances make copies of posts/comments from other instances. They copy images too? And videos? If so, I imagine a future where only the bigger and wealthiest instances will survive.
And concerning moderation tools, I know they’ll improve with time. But how can a federated system like Lemmy do certain tasks that Reddit’s Pushshift enabled? Example: bots detecting and deleting re-posts, spam, bad actors across multiple communities, etc.
No need to panic. I simply went to my uBlock Origin filter page, and clicked on the “house” icon of the Bypass Paywalls Clean. It redirected me to magnolia1234’s (the filter author) gitflic page that contains a more DMCA-resistant filter link. As this site is hosted in Russia, I don’t think Putin will care to help western newspapers. 😉
