overview for Cinner

Did you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy? by Cinner in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Nope, that's literally what onion routing is about in case you aren't being facetious. It's in the whitepaper and in the code. It's also in the Snowden leaks.

Edit: ~~Lemmy doesn't allow direct image posting anymore?~~

Of course that was a long time ago, and hidden services may be much more easily compromised now. And they'll always have their precious 0days. Don't traffick kids, terrorism, or ounces of pure fentanyl and tor will work just fine for you.

As a way for spies to communicate anonymously and securely.

Supposedly, there are people who go into a coma or get head trauma and then wake up talking in a foreign language they never knew or using an accent they never had. Do you think this is legit or fake? by Cinner in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

First video: He woke up speaking only Spanish, a language he'd never spoken fluently before. They didn't say he was speaking it fluently then either, only that he couldn't speak English when he first woke up.

Second: Guy woke up speaking Swedish thinking he was someone else. Was found unconscious with 4 forms of false identification on him, with a cell phone with several phone numbers, all of which were Chinese phone numbers. Lived in Sweden for some time, so he knew the language. Sounds like he may have been a spy who wanted out and faked it Walter White style.

Third: Kid spoke fluent Mandarin in High School, woke up speaking Mandarin after his accident.

So different from foreign accent syndrome, but not all that different. There's no good record of anyone ever waking up sensically speaking a language they never learned (by sensically, I mean being able to speak even a cohesive sentence).

Your question is based on a false premise. There is no 'foreign language syndrome,' that's a myth based on the very real foreign accent syndrome which is where after a stroke or some other neurological issue, people start talking as if they're from a foreign land. When you learn to speak a language, you've trained your tongue muscles in a very specific way and it's hard to do, think of how long some foreign people you know have been living where you live, and they still don't have perfect English or whatever your 'native tongue' is.

Wot The Fsck You Say, Spotify? by Cinner in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Exactly. I pay for Spotify premium, I purchased 3/5 books in this series, and maybe it's because 2 of the books were free with premium (incl this last book) that it's time limiting me. But if that's the case it's also counting time listened during my paid-for eBooks. Absolutely crazy to me.

Edit: A couple times I've said eBook while I actually meant Audiobook. I've learned that Spotify has a 15 hour limit per month for their free 'included in premium' audiobooks. However these are the two books I listened to for free, and even rounding up to 13 hours it doesn't make sense, unless they count accidental chapter skips which weren't actually listened to. But it's clear now that I know about the 15 hour limit, that they are not counting the time listening to paid audiobooks.

First book I listened to for free:

Second book I listened to for free:

OG post:

I purchased 3 eBooks in the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy series (2 came free) and I'm on the final book. 20 minutes left in the last book and this is what Spotify tells me.

I'm over the edge now. I've been putting it off too long. I have a nice NUC I purchased about a year ago.

I'm tech inclined, 20 years of hobbyism, know the linux command line well. Work in IT consulting. But I'm busy. Very busy, and unmotivated to do things like hours of research and toying with settings getting things to work, if I ever have the time.

But this is the start of my new personal revolution.

I'll read the wiki and have read about Sonarr, etc, and I also want movies and shows, but is there anything specifically for eBooks? Looks like Readarr is my best bet? Stripping the DRM of already purchased (and free with Spotify 'Premium') books to share on a seedbox is also something I'm willing to take requests on. Is there a way to rip from Spotify if you have a premium account? And what's the best Android eBook reader (the last 3-4 I tried sucked with pirated eBooks)?

I know I'm sounding like a noob asking everything to be handed to me right now, but I am willing to put in the research and welcome and highly appreciate anyone with tips to point me in the right directions.

Good chance it's for OPSEC reasons and is a small, highly skilled team, not a single woman.

When a Torrent disappears from 1337x, how do you find out what happened? by Cinner in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[-] Cinner@lemmy.world 55 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I would leave my laptop on 24/7 for years to make sure I seeded as much as possible on IPT. Then I wasn't able to login or seed for a couple months and they locked my account. I went into their IRC to get it unlocked, and they said I should have logged in and could pay like $200 to get it unlocked. At the time I didn't even have that much money in my account. I tried to reason with them, about how much I've uploaded and loved the site, and without a second response they just muted me and after a PM trying to talk to the guy they kicked and banned me from the IRC.

FUCK IPTorrents.

PSA: There are paid services that use residential/clean (not identified as VPN) IP address VPNs/proxies that allow you to watch Hulu etc in other countries. (lemmy.world)

Just a heads up since this doesn't seem to be common knowledge. There are a lot of different services. You can search "residential proxies" or "clean ip address vpn" and similar. Not sure if I'm allowed to name the names of services, but the one I use (not affiliated, just been using it for a few months now) has a US VPN option for $10/mo BUT there's a $20 setup fee. Similar prices for other countries I think. If you use some of the shadier services that use browser plugins and desktop apps to "loan out traffic" then you can probably get them a lot cheaper. Just don't install anything from the shadier ones, use the VPN config files.

Where can we donate? (lemmy.world)

I'm sorry if this has been asked often before, but it seems like the best app so far and I'd really like to encourage more features and bug fixes.

+$50 if I can donate with BTC or XMR (kraken takes almost no fees and supports so many cúrrencies)

It is not my intention to start a flame war. Please refrain. I just want to help out.

A few months ago someone (journalist?) claimed authorities cracked his 30+ char strong Veracrypt (or TrueCrypt?) passphrase. His computer was turned off when apprehended. I can not locate the story. (lemmy.world)

Does anyone remember seeing this? I really want to know if there was an update to his case. I thought I saw it on HN but I can NOT for the life of me find it now anywhere. Normally I'm not one to buy into "XYZ scrubbed QWERTY from the internet", but I absolutely can not find this story ANYWHERE now and it seems like it should be easily found with keywords.

If anyone interested has a Twitter account, would you mind searching there for Truecrypt and Veracrypt to see what comes up? That’s the one place I haven’t looked because I don’t have an account.

I'm not sure if this is new, but when I clicked on the /r/pics protest post link from the frontpage here, I was redirected to this: https://old.reddit.com/premium

I'm not sure if this is well-known or not that they're pushing it now, but it's the first time I've seen it, especially on old.reddit.
