The time of YouTube may finally be coming to a close.

Yes, and Reddit is dead. This is delusional, simply not happening. YouTube is huge and a self hosted or federated solution won't come even close. Lemmy instances had issues with user overload, and this is a Reddit clone. What do you think will happen with videos?

This is quite concerning. Hopefully the adblocker extension devs are able to bypass this. I expect a cat and mouse game eventually.

The last sentence suggests that, in some cases, pirates can get content sooner than their paying counterparts. This availability issue is often seen as a main driver of piracy. While improvements can be made on the supply side, the course urges teens to postpone their needs instead.

Really? Who would've guessed that piracy is a service problem? How about you improve your shit so people don't feel inclined to pirate it. Who's gonna pay for a shittier experience?

Also off topic, but I love visual novels! What are your favorites?

I'm currently reading the Tsukihime remake, enjoying it a lot.

Of course, makes sense. Thanks again :).

which totally invalidates all of your phone's security measures and leaves you completely unprotected.

This is bullshit. If that was true, Linux would be the most unsecure OS in the world, since it's users always have access to sudo.

On Android phones with root, you have a root access manager, which controls root for all apps. Any app that would like to use root access has to go through your root manager to request it, which asks the user if they'd like to grant access. Usually, the Magisk app handles this, but in the past other root apps like SuperSU used to be used.

If you don't grant access to root, the apps on your phone have only as much access as on an unrooted phone. Root doesn't make your phone less secure, apart from physical attacks due to the unlocked bootloader.

Just need a simple torrent box. I've tried using the transmission-openvpn docker container in the past, but it keeps on having issues, either with the systemd service detailed in the manual not working properly, or fuckery with how it saves files, where it makes them owned by root on the host.

Is docker still the best way to go about this? I've used it in the past because I need only the client itself to be on the VPN, but the WebUI needs to be accessible on my actual network. The docker container made this split tunneling setup easy to do.

I'll also be running Jellyfin on the same machine, which also needs to be a local lan server, so running the VPN on the system globally isn't an option, since Jellyfin and the WebUI need to not go through the VPN.

So, any suggestions for what I should do?

I agree, this entire thing looks very blown out of proportion to me. It's not the first time and not the last time there will be malware in a brand new game torrent on 1337x.

This exact situation has happened before with a new game torrent that had malware, torrent eventually got taken down, and nobody raised a huge fuss other than not to download that torrent.

He's from Portugal according to another comment he made.

Yeah, I just can't be bothered to switch when torrenting works fine as is.

Torrents work great for my needs and I prefer them. Haven't really messed with usenet much.
