So, this question comes from someone with no background in development or marketing but, wouldn’t this money be better spent on develoment or marketing of Firefox. I’m a little more worried about having a long term alternative to Chrome based browsers than self hosting photos. This is not a knock on Ente or any other photo hosting script, I am very interested in a fully functional self hosted Google photos alternative, but my priorities start with Firefox.

I hit the same wall with Dvorak layout.

Make a file named just a bunch of spaces with double quotes around them. It’s made confusing because of the 4 double quotes, two are escaped by the backslashes immediately before them.

You are on the path to be that family member or friend for someone else. Welcome.

I’m crying for them.

It’s not super complicated, but you are unlikely to figure it out without a couple internet searches. You have to setup the router, which isn’t that difficult, and then wait to get connections. the torrent client is built into the router software, but you have to find the right I2P sites to get torrents because, as far as I know, only torrents inside the I2P network are usable. Each of these is pretty minor on its own, but adds up to a difficult experience for the average, non-enthusiast computer user.

I have been using tribler for a few years. It works well, abeit a bit slower than a plain torrent program, but still very reasonable.

I see a lot of people talking about using I2P for torrents but, as far as I know, I2P cannot use torrents from outside the I2P network. In addition to this, there is a non-trivial setup and confusing interface that people need to learn, whereas Tribler acts like any other torrent program, just with onion style routing. I really like I2P, but there’s still more work to be done to attract more people and make it a truly viable alternative for most torrent needs.

I buy movie tickets and I also watch cams. Sometimes I watch before, because I can’t make it to the theater yet, sometimes afterwards so I can have a repeat watch. Sometimes I watch and the movie is trash, so I save money to spend on a different one. Sometimes the cam rips aren’t good enough to watch, other times, they are near DVD quality.

I have been watching cams and going to the movie theater since the 90s and I doubt that will change, but I never understand the hatred aimed at people who watch cams. Why bash on people who are enjoying something that you do not?

Yeah, I’m not installing DRM to watch anything on any service. I’ll pirate, thanks very much.

Everything is accessible, but only through n2n vpn.

This information is good, but overwhelming for newbies. This is what I tell people interesting in using Linux:

Start with Linux Mint. If you decide later on that you want to delve deeper, check out distrowatch for a good list of distros with descriptions.

I would have to say that it is not getting worse, its just never been very good.

I’m interested in new distributions, but it really needs to do something new. Different default packages with a handful of custom things on top of an existing distro just doesn’t cut it. Give me a NixOS, Puppy Linux, ReactOS(I know it’s not a distro) or something else unique. I’m tired of Debian/Ubuntu based distros, if I wanted Debian or Ubuntu, I would use them.

Hmm. The McDonalds in my town had a small fire in the kitchen in 2020. It has been surrounded by “Reopening soon” signs since then. Color me sceptical.

NixOS and Debian. Probably just NixOS in the near future.

Look up 4k77 if you haven’t already. Team negative1 has been transferring and restoring copies of the original reels. The are also working on 4k80 and 4k83. I believe that 4k77 and 4k83 are completed and there are rough copies of 4k80.

I suggest anyone considering LXD also give nspawn a look. May or may not suit your needs better.

I don’t. I would imagine ones that aren’t indexed, probably aren’t because they are private, but that’s a guess.

Not joking. This all works, probably a lot better than you may think.
