  • What do law did you think they use to go after people who they monitor on torrent swams? Its the dmca (or equivalent), they notify ISP and isp is obligated to either adress the user a warning or suspension. If the isp ignores and lets users keep going then its the billion dollar ISP not the user that would get sued

    Look up the end result of Sony BMG v. Tenenbaum, sony didnt get a dime and was able to successfully discharge the debt through bankruptcy after exhausting all appeal options and costing SonyBMG a ton of money. Thats why you dont hear about lawsuits like that anymore.


  • They could easily get moles into every single private trackers

    Maybe if they actually wanted to, but what actually happens is they hire a much smaller company that monitors public trackers and sends them thousands of “successful” takedowns. When have you seen private trackers taking down torrents due to DMCA? It pretty much never happens, even for public ones these days the best case for these companies is to get google or other search engines to remove torrent sites from results.

    You are giving these corps WAAAY too much credit, they only target the lowest of low hanging fruit (ISPs and search engines) because anything else is a waste of time and money. There’s a reason you don’t hear about many lawsuits against private individuals anymore, its because they know its a bad idea to go after “Joe Schmo NoBody” with a net worth of $217 in the bank, who will just declare bankruptcy after the corp spends tens or hundreds of thousands of $ on lawyers for a single case.









  • Only phones with hardware-backed verified boot + bootloader relock using alternative keys (currently only Pixels) can support GrapheneOS correctly (according to the GOS team)

    So the only thing this can mean is that moto plans to release new hardware with this capability, because none (other then pixels) currently exists.

    Dont expect this to mean GOS is coming to older devices. Its unlikely moto will even sell them preloaded because GOS is not exactly the most consumer friendly android fork.






  • I run an 8 disk 90tb BTRFS RAID0 and its been going strong for over a year. I hesitate to actually encourage anyone to live this dangerously but its mainly a media server and if i needed to i could restore any lost data from usenet or torrents using my arr stack which is on a different drive. If you can handle the risk its a nice speed boost.
