After I check the usual torrent sites, if I can’t find it on Usenet then I try finding random sketchy streaming sites (just by duckduckgoing title + year + stream) because usually you can youtube-dl them with a little fiddling, then my last resort is a DHT indexer like btdig. That’s more risk with viruses but if you’re paying attention it’s not that hard to avoid, but DHT indexes have lots of ancient stuff so be prepared to wait for seeds if you find it.

Sometimes I also find what I’m looking for on like page 7 of duckduckgo results at archive.org

Edit: also check soulseek - it’s primarily for music but you can share any file. I share my entire movies collection and get a constant stream of people downloading from me daily so it seems people search for and seem to also share TV and movies so it’s worth a check.

These memes are giving me life pls don’t stop

Weirdly enough, the “100 miles within a border” rule also applies to coastlines, not just borders to another country. So US immigration officials are allowed to set up checkpoints, board vehicles without warrants, and search for people without immigration documentation there too. 60% of the US population is apparently included in this zone due to large cities being along the coast.

Yes. Also flaresolvarr is a good candidate to auto update since it needs to keep up with CF, I set it up with watchtower after having it fail due to forgetting to update it.

Now if only my carrier will support RCS sometime soon 🙃 I convinced a bunch of my friends to upgrade iOS with the promise of better group texts but it’s all for nought as I’m still left out of group chats.

Reading the takedown it sounds like just having the decryption code itself counts as “circumvention”. I feel like emulators would be a lot safer if game decryption was a separate codebase. Then the emulator would be free to develop while Nintendo plays whack a mole with tiny easily remade decryption repos that just take your key and the file and decrypt it.

Hell ryujinx could even detect that you have the decryptor installed and automatically call it when needed, or it could be bundled during packaging but separate in development like how Bluray decryption is distributed in a separately library but can be used by for eg. VLC.

It sounds custom but similar to wine, since the website alludes to a compatibility layer (translation) for the Android version of the game. My guess is a completely custom android / java runtime that is built specifically for Roblox and translating the necessary android specific calls to Linux.

Sure, but you also don’t need to give them full benefit of the doubt just because that’s how the court operates. It’s a perfectly reasonable stance to not believe their claim that they loopholed the law by not seeding, which I don’t think is contradictory with supporting piracy. And comparing the mass ingestion of human creative work into an exploitative AI model to an individual person pirating for human consumption as if someone who is against one must be against the other is absurd.

My argument is that just because the courts may give Meta the benefit of the doubt, it doesn’t mean that you need to as well. It shouldn’t be any surprise to you that you’re getting the response you’re getting here when you seem to be bending over backwards to find any excuse to give Meta a pass.

And no - wanting Meta to be fully investigated on the basis that they most likely did break the law has no bearing on wanting to oppress the enemy lol.

I’m not a court so absent any actual evidence from Meta, I can assume whatever I want. Meta can suck a dick.

It’s a distinction without a difference, because there is no reason to believe Meta’s word that they blocked seeding when downloading. So whether it’s always or usually makes no difference, because in either case, Meta should not be given the benefit of the doubt.

Both things can be true at the same time - you can get a letter for leeching only AND usually when leeching you are also seeding. I don’t know what your issue is with that statement.

I don’t know if this is news to you or not, but while you are leeching, you are also seeding.

I am the reader and I have made the determination that you are wrong. Plenty of people get letters for leeching only - just your presence in the swarm is all it takes, and that’s all they check for before sending you a letter - at least in the US.

One related thing to watch out for is the state table size - one of my old cheap routers back in the day showed how full it was and it was hitting 100% a lot and seemed to grind the network to a halt when it did (I was in a house of 5 young people with lots of devices and multiple people torrenting behind a cheapo Netgear running ddwrt). That’s what lead me to switch to high end or x86 based routers. Being able to see the state table stats really helps to know how likely it is to be a problem, it’s so big when using opnsense on an x86 box that I don’t think it ever goes above 1% now.

Edit: now that I think about it, if your VPN is working I wouldn’t expect any states related to peer connections to show up since your router won’t be NATing them, I guess I was just bold back in the day because it was a huge problem then.

Not really, as long as your VPN setup is solid (assuming you need it to avoid letters) and you don’t mind the bandwidth usage. I have some ratios in the 500s

Wow, taking a look at this person’s profile they must have a scat fetish because they sure seem to like being shit on.

That seems kind of like pointing to reverse engineering communities and saying that binaries are the preferred format because of how much they can do. Sure you can modify finished models a lot, but what you can do with just pre trained weights vs being able to replicate the final training or changing training parameters is just an entirely different beast.

There’s a reason why the OSI stipulates that code and parameters used to train is considered part of the “source” that should be released in order to count as an open source model.

You’re free to disagree with me and the OSI though, it’s not like there’s 1 true authority on what open source means. If a game that is highly modifiable and moddable despite the source code not being available counts as open source to you because there are entire communities successfully modding it, then all the more power to you.

It’s worth noting that OpenR1 have themselves said that DeepSeek didn’t release any code for training the models, nor any of the crucial hyperparameters used. So even if you did have suitable training data, you wouldn’t be able to replicate it without re-discovering what they did.

OSI specifically makes a carve-out that allows models to be considered “open source” under their open source AI definition without providing the training data, so when it comes to AI, open source is really about providing the code that kicks off training, checkpoints if used, and details about training data curation so that a comparable dataset can be compiled for replicating the results.
