Thanks for the detailed obesrvation! Yeah unfortunately it still has some technical issues and shortcomings but imo this platform has some great potential.



Tidal? You can even download all your music in lossless flac format


Does somebody know a good torrent music streaming app? Something like spotify but with data from musicbrainz or anything like that and the files from torrents.




Thats why copying of an immaterial gpod is not stealing because the other person still has the full ownership over their copy.


In contrary. I do. But I fucking hate the whole useless, greedy industry that sits on the artists neck. I prefer p2p transactions so that the artists I like can keep producing more of their art.



Would you mind explaining why this shift happened? Isn’t OpenStack more capable than any k8 setup?


It’s for getting acquainted with the whole software stack. Also I have enough free time for it :) I’m also very well aware what the difference between a container service and a hypervisor are, I’m just a little overwhelmed by what open stack can do.


I2P isn’t a service if you mean that. It is a whole new network just like the regular clearnet or the tor network.

Your smtp will still be able to connect to other services afaik. Its just about the hosted website.


I just meant it as a static domain to host stuff. If you don’t care about anonymity you can just reduce the hops and it will get fairly stable.


This one will be a bit trickier because of federation. Maybe it is even impossible. But for git hosting, website hosting, email, your cloud, various chats software or torrents it should just work.


For most use cases you can host everything on I2P.

  • You can create unlimited domains for free
  • Its censorship resistant There are some caveats though:
  • The network is rather slow (but not too slow in my opinion)
  • You need to configure your router or you device to access the I2P net

Well then keep doing what you are doing.


https://www.trustpilot.com/review/njal.la basically a bunch of people complain that thy cant access their domain names. This is possible because njalla owns the domain for you

We’re not actually a domain name registration service, we’re a customer to these. We sit in between the domain name registration service and you, acting as a privacy shield. When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party.

I don’t want to stop anyone from using it just keep this in mind.


Njalla had some big controversy regarding their reliability and trustworthiness. I’d stay away from their services.


Thanks to the so-called “Mickey Mouse Protection Act” of 1998, Disney, along with other entertainment companies, permanently damaged the collective creative landscape by walling off the public domain.

The great irony, of course, is that Disney built its library of animated classics by adapting European fairy tales that exist in the public domain. Despite Disney benefiting from the free use of old stories, the studio has never hesitated to take legal action to protect its most iconic character, several decades after Walt Disney created him.

Over the decades, Disney’s brutal copyright take-downs have become the stuff of legend. The litigious studio famously forced daycare centers to remove murals featuring Mickey and Minnie; for Disney, copyright law even applies to a child’s tombstone.

[…] the mouse is symbolic of a decades-long battle over the public domain, which the public lost. Today, the battleground has shifted, as powerful corporations no longer view tight copyright protection as beneficial, thanks to the requirements of generative AI.


The “Steamboat Willie” debacle or: Why IP does us more harm than good
Hello frens, As a great opponent of any form of IP, I have been following the event of Disney's *Steamboat Willie* entering the public domain with great amusement. The incidents where creators have been falsely demonetized on youtube for rightfully using this film is further underpinned by Disney's decades-long shameless practices. [The linked article](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2024/01/04/the-steamboat-willie-mickey-mouse-situation-explained/) sums it up quite well I think.

VPN should suffice if you want to hide your traffic from your ISP. But annas archive isn’t primarily a torrent site so don’t mix these two things up.



Or just use the api for retrieving the books info and a link to annas archive if you want to see more (or download). Officially bookwyrm would provide no direct download links only redirect to annas archive if the user wants to see more. If you combine this with OpenLibrary this would hopefully dillute the piracy concerns.



There is a mobile app although it’s really simple and looks a bit dated.


Combine this with a direct, p2p donation option and you have a perfect book hub.


I’d love an implementation where under each book you would have the option to donate a custom amount to directly support the author and/or the library.


Exactly. And as I already wrote: the worst part of it is that they may take valuable sources of information with them.


Yeah thought about it too. Maybe annas archive could develop into a book publishing platform one day?


**Aye mateys, I wanted to share this with you as you may be interested in a discussion on having annas-archive linked to the fedi.** cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/9006151 > Hello everyone, > > Books are still one of the most important sources of information we have as a human species.

Multiplex is a Linux application to stream torrents and share them with other friends.


I used tunemymusic. I think up to 500 songs it’s free but the premium is only 2$/month. Also you will need to buy tidal hifi for one month which is very expensive. To download the tracks I used tidal-dl.

I have to admit that this is not the cheapest way to obtain music but it is probably the only way to download exactly the tracks you want from various different albums and artists in high-res audio quality.


Init7 rocks. Besides the 333 CHF initial setup fee all plans cost the same. 777 for 1/10/25Gbit/s.


I have a residential 25Gbit/s connection and although I only use 15 gbit of it for my server it is really a godsend for torrenting, hosting and running several relays and nodes for different networks.


I switched to tidal hifi for a month and downloaded all songs in highest flac audio quality with lyrics and all. In total about over 1000 songs.


Also with tidal-dl I can download all of my songs in high res flac quality with lyrics and everything. So I make regular backup all few months.


Intellectual Property should be abolished - change my mind!
Hey mateys! I made a post at [/c/libertarianism](/c/libertarianism@lemmy.world) about the abolition of IP. Maybe some of you will find it interesting. ***Please answer in the other community so that all the knowledge is in one place and easier to discover.***
