It’s a widely accepted standard for decentralised social media. It can be adapted to many use cases relatively easily. If someone makes a better link aggregator server based on ActivityPub, it would be much easier to bring all the lemmy data and users to it than if someone started from scratch. As in what happened going from Reddit to lemmy, as Reddit doesn’t have a standardised federation behavior.

the ml stands for mali, and is a tld that gives out free domains, tho perhaps they chose that one over others because of Marxism-Leninism

Another for Mullvad, but yeah I’m also bummed about them removing port forwarding. Not sure what the next best option is

A quick search told ed2k/kad are other p2p networks. What kind of files do you get from that? And can you automate it with sonarr or similar?

Echoing what others have said, use a solid VPN to actually download anything, and only make it accessible outside your network with reasonable protections. For really solid security you can use tailscale to only expose your server to your personal devices

Ive heard proton vpn is good, but I’m also looking for a good alternative. Damn shame they’re getting rid of port forwarding

Ok damn that’s reassuring. I’m running Plex too and I’m sure that’s using much more cpu. Luckily don’t have a ton of users so hopefully never too much. I’ve debated having a second smaller pc that just does the Plex hosting and transcoding and leave the other box as just a NAS

I was already building out my -arr server, this move has just accelerated the move

Plex is so good at finding trailers, shocks me how many streaming services don’t include trailers for their movies, seems like a no brainer

What community is that? Make it here and start the move. I’m sure others from there are looking for an alternative

I think we should be advocating for schools to be encouraged to use open source software through their entire curriculum. People could learn that from the start and have a better appreciation, especially as FOSS software has gotten more stable

What’s the balance of usenet to torrent you’re ending up with? I’m debating going to usenet but I find plenty on most public trackers

I’ve seen GitHub used for class turning in and stuff, but not a program on there. is that like a learning course for FOSS stuff? Would be very influential as people would grow up caring about FOSS
