Not even unreasonable. Straight up hostage. I'd you post a wiki to their site thry effectively own it, and if you try to close it they will simply steal control of it and refuse to delete it under any circumstances to continue serving ad revenue. Which is what happened to fucking Mojang with the Minecraft wiki.

LPT use the Indiebuddy wiki to purge all Fandom links out of your browser and replace them with the correct indie wiki.

I haven't kept close track for a year so I think it's gone up again but my shared bill in Oregon typically was around $250 at I think ~14-15c/kwh. A majority of our power comes from the BPA hydro dams on the Columbia so the cost hasn't quite skyrocketed like other areas, but Pacificorp is still trying to raise rates 20% a year.

(We are rural and also use electricity for pumping water from a domestic well, and irrigate a fairly large lawn as a wildfire break, so that is also our water bill.)

PG&E is just criminal.

Elemental silver SD card casing for maximum thermal transfer, when????

Human rights are not a compromise. I will not even entertain the idea of compromising those. Abortion rights stay.

Gun control is an iffy one. It really should be fixed, but it will take decades of continuing reforms and filtering firearms out of the market to really get it to where it should be. On a short term basis, "compromising" (but not giving up) on this would be OK.

Climate change will obviously just kill us all, soooo...

In a keep two, give one scenario to shut Republicans up for an election cycle, it would be safe to compromise on gun control in exchange for cementing proper human rights and getting meaningful climate action.

Yes, stainless is "bad", compared to other metals. But like you also mentioned, it's loads better than plastic.

I'd doubt they make an aluminum one, it's probably not worth the tooling.

When dealing with only 100-200mW, even a small change in thermal conductivity will make a big difference.

Unironically a good idea. I can see these really helping to increase the chances of memory survival in camera applications where the camera has a high chance of being physically destroyed. Also a metal body reallllly helps conduct heat out of the flash, which will increase their lifespan in continuous-write applications.

i'd think at this point it's been proven that any resource, small or large, can and will be compromised. Proton so far has had a better track record than many.

I was referencing the "no linux app" complaint. Yes the rest of the stuff is pretty fluffy, but it at least looks good to the general public who might be shopping.

Proton AG is also a pretty small company and has not a lot of programming resources, can't expect them to magically support everything immediately when their goal is getting marketshare.

 

It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

Forced arbitration means any legal disputes you may have with Discord must be resolved through a single third party mediator, who 99% of the time is chosen by, and will rule in favor of, the corporation/Discord. This effectively removes all your legal rights as a consumer, because arbitration decisions are legally binding and non-appealable.

The new ToS goes into effect April 15th, 2024.

YOU CAN OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. You must email [email protected] BEFORE MAY 15TH (30 days after ToS effective date) with your username stating that you wish to opt out of the arbitration clause. Once May 15th passes you are bound to arbitration with Discord forever.

Opt-out before it's too late.

not being able to ctrl-F a textbook or have click-to-chapter links sure makes studying harder these days... and any scanning software worth it's salt will at least do the bare minimum OCR automatically...

using IPFS on Z-Library? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

ok maybe i'm just being a dumbass. I'm getting textbooks off of z-library per the megathread, as they are the only site that lists the specific books I need currently. I am browsing via TOR.

I can't seem to see a download button or link for the books I am looking for, nor for any other book I open. Maybe this is because I don't have an account. But let's say I don't feel like making one, because that means spinning up another burner email, and and and.... idk. I'm lazy.

I thought I'd be nice and access the content via the IPFS CID using the IPFS desktop node/app thing from here. Zlibrary lists IPFS CID's for all books they host. That will save server load on them and likely be faster for a couple of the 200+MB PDF's.
But it absolutely can NOT find any of the CID's that z-library gives for any of it's content, whether I click browse or inspect in the search box or use the import function, even after I let it sit and run on my extra seed PC for two days to populate the peer list.

I know IPFS must be working as some of the test CID's I used from the tutorial imported ok.

am i being dumb? am I missing the fundamental purpose of the IPFS CID's here or something?
