I used wget to download static sites, or at least ones with simpler JavaScript, but it won’t download any required files that are only linked in JS code, so it probably won’t work for many sites.

You also need to be careful when spanning hosts so that you don’t accidentally (attempt to) download the entire internet. And rate-limiting, useragent, robots file, filename limitations (so that it doesn’t save files with filename characters that have other uses in URLs like # and ?), filename extensions (to serve them back with correct mimetype), getting filenames from server rather than URL when appropriate, converting links (works in HTML files only), and I am probably forgetting something else.

Oh, and it’s a single process doing one request at a time, so even just a page with too many images will take ages. E.g.: http://cyber.dabamos.de/88x31/ (currently offline).

You can then easily serve them using NGINX, or just browse as files, though the latter may not work well on something like a phone. Oh, one more thing, image.jpg and Image.jpg would conflict on Android, and some websites have differences like that. It can only be stored within Termux (and served using NGINX in Termux).

those users are using a lot of bandwidth and the piracy forms a handy excuse.

Or they could improve their network for torrenting like some Indian ISPs did in the past

Several Internet providers in India have found a clever way to reduce the load BitTorrent transfers put on their network, […] They’ve teamed up with Torbox.net which offers a fully fledged torrent search engine that connects users to ‘local’ peers to guarantee maximum download speeds.

Some [ISPs] have had their own custom ‘caching’ setups but increasingly they are teaming up with the torrent search engine Torbox.

Torbox links them to peers in the local network, which means that the traffic is free for the ISP.

Most people who visit Torbox will see a notice that their ISP doesn’t have a peering agreement. However, for those who have a supporting ISP the torrent site returns search results ordering torrents based on the proximity of downloaders.

TorrentFreak spoke with EBS director Victor Francess, who says that with this setup most torrent data is served from within the ISP’s own network.

“It all creates a very powerful user experience, so in fact just about 10-20% of all torrent traffic comes from the upstream and everything else is local,” Francess says.

Ah, it does generate actual MS links there. My bad.

I see, it links to https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 xD

They “fixed” that now though.

But
Shift + F10 to open CMD

cd oobe
bypassnro

The machine will reboot and let you skip network setup. But do not connect to a network yet!

Just trans? It clearly talks about some trans mission!

DivestOS is discontinued, and together with it Mull. It won’t receive further updates including security updates. Based on F-Droid there is a known vulnerability. It is recommended to cease usage of Mull ASAP.

Confirmed

Well, fuck it, now it doesn’t.

Just do a little… and you’ll be good to go.

I use my brain.

It generates the biggest nonsense out of all.

Safari was also late to implement AV1 video support. Based on caniuse website, only MS Edge was later, though you could install an extension to get it running.

Oh, and when I say “support”, I mean you’d have to buy a new device.

Supported only on devices with hardware decoder, e.g. iPhone 15 Pro, M3 MacBook Pro, etc.

Edit: Chrome since v. 70 (2018-10-16), Firefox fully since v. 67 (2019-05-21), Firefox partially since v. 55 (2017-08-08) whatever “Not supported by default, but can be enabled” means, Safari since v. 17 on newer devices (2023-09-26)

Once Upon a Time, This Tech Company Actively Recruited Furries (Vice.com)

Months earlier, recruiter Cindy Lee Smith noticed a trend in the resumes coming across her desk at Taos. Why were many job candidates listing “anthropomorphism” under their hobbies?

As Christine Hyung-Oak Lee tells it—recalling her time as a junior recruiter under Smith—hitting upon the tech-talent goldmine of furrydom was something like an epiphany. “I remember her running out of her office into my cubicle, and she said, ‘Christine, we gotta get on these furries.’”

And this was way back in 1996.

Except client bridge which is a sort of a workaround: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Bridge

Make sure to use a WDS bridge if supported, rather than some workaround DD-WRT offers, or putting everything behind yet another NAT and separate network.

And you can most likely still create a VAP on it to act as WiFi extender.

I’ve used one as a VPN client this way. Connect to WiFi network, connect to Mullvad using Wireguard, create virtual access point and it semi-practically worked.
Semi, the WRT160NL couldn’t really handle it. Especially after adding a separate guest network with another VAP. Crashing like every 3 minutes. It can realistically only act as either a WiFi client or single AP.

But that is device-dependent. This is an old trash.

I am pretty sure they experienced some KDE Ingenuity.

Example:

You can see they can’t be real files due to their total size:

Unfortunately, at least on Arch it seems a bit broken. The CD keeps spinning at low speed with audible random searches and the file transfer speed is abysmal. Copying out one 3.5MiB MP3 took it almost 2 minutes.

Yup, that’s done by AudioCD Kioslave.

In 2020, Visa, Mastercard and Discover blocked customers from using their cards to make purchases on Pornhub, another big adults-only platform, after a public outcry over alleged child sexual abuse material and other illegal content. This stopped card payments for Pornhub’s paid content and forced it to rely more on ads and sales of user data.

Yep. The idea was to completely block payments to entire OnlyFans it seems.
