I don’t think that’s true. I’m pretty certain they simply hop on a torrent client with an illegal torrent for their movie and record the IP addresses they see seeding and leeching. Then simply compel the responsible ISP to reveal which of their customers currently has that IP leased.

Why would you think I watch Fox news? My bad, mixed up Afghanistan and Iraq. But I’m sure Iraq isn’t far behind.

Could also have been old-timers that have had accounts repeatedly banned by admins for bullshit reasons. But yeah more likely just bots lol.

There’s a niche type of CPU cooler you can get that uses just thermal mass, e.g. thermal pipes from your CPU spreader to finned metal on your case or directly into your case. They can’t provide as much cooling as liquid but it has zero moving parts.

I tried to get one of these cases/coolers for my home server and just could NOT find reasonably priced options or much availability. It’s kind of absurd, there should be a larger market for them.

I didn’t want to have to worry about dust build up and fans dying myself.

Yup

How is this a real comment you just made

You’re far more likely to drown if you own a pool in your backyard. Population level statistic applied to your individual lifestyle choices are meaningless and patronizing.

I always resent this braindead argument. There’s a huge difference between a country waging a foreign war and a country waging a war against its own cities and citizens. Insurgencies work and has been proven time and time again. See: Iraq

Incoming tankie defense of state censorship

Millions of Russian ctizens having their internet cut off isn’t a big deal?

They also monitor internet communications and you can get your account deleted or a police visit if you post something to critical of the state. That’s probably irresistibly attractive to Putin.

In my time working at a hosting provider we would get these very strange requests from the Russian government demanding Russian websites customers had with us be taken down for moral violations. Like a DMCA but for free speech.

Also true if you consider the absolutely massive cost and effort it took China to get where they are with their Great Firewall. From what can be gleaned they also have a huge workforce of people monitoring communications as well in order to keep their internet safe for the state and “sanitized”.

Almost like they’re literal fascists just like China!

I am not a fan of millions of Russian citizens being in a walled garden of censorship however

Well tbf, he did. Through sheer luck and off the backs of others, and being an abusive boss, but that did happen for the space industry.

Fucking dead lmao

They’re full of hate and bullshit because it’s just the entire American populace who uses Instagram. I’m unfortunately one of these people who reads Instagram comments and they were always full of terrible people saying objectively shitty things.

I kinda feel like usage quirks like these are something that could become cultural knowledge overtime. Usenet was hardly user friendly but managed to get a huge user base and still does I think (although probably mostly because it was first)

“Twitter has two important advantages over other social media platforms,” Haqqani said in an English post on Twitter. “The first privilege is the freedom of speech.

I know it’s the Taliban but I cannot believe how braindead they are. They don’t even remember that they’re so anti free speech, they’ll hunt down and kill dissidents especially women who have the guts to get an education.

Excellent sleuthing
