At least your stupid ISP has IPv6. Mine doesn’t (yet).

My seedbox accepts crypto payments through Coinbase. Coinbase recently started requiring personal info when paying.

It’s sarcasm because nobody should be held liable.

Seems like the electric companies should also pay a hefty fine, as they provided the needed infrastructure to enable the piracy. /s

I was about to say “of course you can trust it, it’s from The Internet Archive”, but the ArchiveTeam slogan is “We Are Going To Rescue Your Shit”. Now I wonder if they’re officially affiliated or not.

Oh wow. Weird that it defaults to off.

Holy cow. You can use your mouse with micro. Amazing.

UltraViolet almost let you do this, but of course there was all sorts of proprietary fuckery to deal with. They shut down in 2019.

It definitely sounds easier, in that case.

Yeah, I suppose. I wonder how long it would take me to find out how to do that, assuming I don’t give up first.

Then again, I don’t even know what swaywm is, so maybe on other types of Linux it would be easier?

A kernel flatpak? That’d be interesting.

Good point about the reviews. I forgot about that part.

I’m a fan of the Flatpak trend. The latest version of Linux Mint has some interesting additions to how things are presented, as far as “verified” and “not verified”. Basically their app installer program lets you know if a particular Flatpak should be treated with caution, sort of like downloading a random .exe with Windows.

I recently installed Manjaro with KDE Plasma, and I’d like an easier way of getting Flatpaks out of the box with it. Their solution is to install Discover alongside their own app installer. So now I have two different GUI programs to open if I want to research something to install.

Oh sorry, didn’t mean to blame Bazzite for that. Was just a new thing for me to deal with.

I installed it on my Desktop, replacing LMDE. Unfortunately I have trouble running the one game that I play even though it works on Linux with Steam. It worked in Linux Mint, but for some reason it won’t start in Bazzite. Surely it’s because I have an Nvidia graphics card, but that wasn’t a problem with Linux Mint.

Another problem that I ran into was Firefox (flatpak) crashing all the time. Luckily you just have to disable wayland using Flatseal, but I still get graphics glitches with it.

I’m thinking of restoring my Linux Mint backup.

I don’t know why I’m responding to your comment, I just wanted to share my experience, I guess.

I used to mount network attached storage in /mnt until I had problems accessing it from a Snap. In searching for a solution it was pointed out that snaps are correct in being sandboxed from these types of folders, and users like myself are making things difficult for ourselves by using those system folders.

They said the best practice would be to mount them in a folder in your home directory. I’ve switched to doing that and it works great.

Take a deep breath…

If they let everyone upload, the place would likely go to shit really fast. Poor quality uploads, unseeded uploads, uploads that nobody can download because the seeder doesn’t have a decent internet connection, viruses, illegal images, you name it.

So of course there’s a process. It’s up to you to figure it out, so figure it out. The website that I found isn’t loading for me right now, but the last time I was looking at it, it was very easy to find the post explaining how it all works, and I don’t even have an account there.
