Issa argued that online piracy helps fund terrorist groups and other criminal networks.

Gotta play the "Everything I don't like is 'terrrorism'. " card, naturally. I wonder if it hurts when you have the collective hand of media conglomerates shoved up your ass like a sock puppet.

Maybe the bill will get an amendment. Maybe a 2nd amendment is required.

I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.

It works fine (for now), and you get slightly faster speeds/lower pings with a server that's geographically closer.

That said, I'm very close to Canada, so that would be the obvious next choice if the US starts blocking shit.

Oh no, not DNS, however will I get to my desired sites?? DNS isn't the only way. It's just the most obvious or easiest, but we'll let them keep thinking that 😆

Not like you could go to domain registrar. Or to the host company.

DNS is like a post office or delivery company. They all have databases of who lives where so they can match a home address to a name.

DNS isn't required per se, you can "deliver" traffic directly or through another delivery service... If "https://website.com/" has a domain address of 111.222.33.44, you could also just type that into your browser URL bar like https://111.222.33.44/ and DNS isn't (or at least shouldn't be) touched.

far_university1990 1 point 25 days ago

I know. You can add host and ip to os host file and bypass dns.

But instead of go to person actually responsible for dns entry, domain registrar, they go to dns resolver? And also not go to server host or reverse proxy (cloudflare) which actual cause distribute?

“Foreign websites pirating American movies, TV shows, art, and books steal tens of billions of dollars from the US economy each year,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) said at the time.

How do i steal money you not have? Please tell me, i need to steal 10 billion from myself.

So the expensive infrastructure for DPI that that takes, who's going to pay for that? And just where are you going to buy it? China?

Honestly, they're likely already doing it for surveillance of their citizens anyway.

Surveillance is cheap, filtering/blocking with DPI is not, and has plenty of false positives, see Russia.

Couldn’t people circumvent that by not hosting piracy sites in that country and by using a VPN based outside the imperial core?
