This would make a most excellent movie.

Not a well funded AAA style mind you, but still some excellent popcorn destroying mayhem.

Really looking forward to these changes. Thank you!

Heartily agree about the sequels.

The first was... Ok. Great notions, but very dry.

The sequels had much better overall cohesion and I feel, if approached properly, would make an excellent couple of movies or a series akin to how Foundation has been approached.

Feels a bit off the mark... The private tracker communities I frequent seem pretty lively.

Public torrents were never something I understood for anything not open source.

Leeching is just a minimal issue to be dealt with by community blocking. Most communities are flexible in the rules to allow for providing in other ways if constant uploading isn't an option.

I suspect the joke here is that there's always someone trying to bitch about leeching. The Internet has always been trash, blah about the good ol days etc.

Maybe people just idolized the way they initially learned and now blame others when changes happen.

Remember kids, advertising is evil and copyright infringement is the only ethical solution.

I suspect now would be a great time for someone to leak...

"... Especially the Republicans"

for sure... but what about me and MY doom scrolling? 😁

In proper IT tradition... as soon as the new server was up and running and settled down, Hetzner got the issue with the previous node solved.

Because of course.

The little "good sysadmin" guy on my left shoulder is chastising me for not having failover and a floating IP already set up for this kind of thing.

The little "devops burnout" guy on my right shoulder is chuckling at me and whispering something about just writing a BASH script to do it in a janky way and forget about it.

I am caught in the middle and will probably do something with haproxy and keepalived. Such is the life of Ops.

Correct! Cloudflare is not in the mix anymore.

Thanks @FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus for following up.

For any who stumble through here, it would seem we've been added to Mullvad's VPN DNS block list for "Adult Content".

Realistically, I don't see our little corner here being appropriate for the younglings.

Do yourself a huge favor... Find a copy of the Spicediver Redux edit.

It's an amazing job of re-editing and splicing in cleaned up deleted footage.

I'd turn the sound on for that one
