The rocks will look different when their chemistry will change when exposed to a warmer climate, different climate migrating species grow on them, and they're covered in micro plastics, and worn down by more acidic rains.

And possibly become radioactive if things don't go right.

Torrenting on Android does exist, but it's such a battery suck that seeding is unsustainable unless your mobile device is plugged in all the time. Which makes it not-so-mobile.

And then there's mobile plan data limits.

Gen X here. I still use my eMule client! Because you just share whole directory structures, it's great for finding and sharing older obscure stuff.

I've always found Super Video Converter to be very useful and easy to use for video conversion.

Or combine all of them with Mars to make something approaching Earth’s volume.

They lived together in harmony with other large dinosaurs inside large structures.

The first couple of weeks on a private tracker are always pretty rough, until you can build up your ul/dl ratio high enough to get some breathing room.

Some sites make things easier on newbs than others.

If possible, look for recent freeleech torrents, especially popular ones, download them even if you aren't really interested in the content, and seed them 24/7 to build your ul stats..

You have at least 10 years from when your tapes were written.

Hope the device you have to read them still works ..

I just signed up for Matrix because you mentioned it.

I installed the Element front end, because that seems to be the most popular.

It looks like IRC, which is fine if that’s all you need.

It also appears that anything beyond text has to be hotlinked, which is understandable, given that the amount of data transmitted for redundancy between home servers is exponential with the number of home servers.

Really very similar to Lemmy, where the identity of each group is tied to a particular server, e.g. lemmy has [email protected] but Matrix has #anime:matrix.org

So what happens if matrix.org goes away or decides the server admin wants to be hostile to #anime?

What kind of system that depends on centralized servers can ever be secure from government snooping?

That kind of architecture is completely hopeless in that regard.

Is a encrypted, distributed, P2P architecture realistic though?

But not all water is useful.

We have a lot of non useful water on Earth in the oceans that has too much salt.

Water from non-Earth sources might contain dissolved minerals at poisonous levels for agriculture, much less human consumption.

And if there's liquid water from a non-Earth setting, there might be some kind of unknown exo-organisms living in it.

But the tool they recommend using, GenP, does trigger Windows Defender warnings because it modifies binaries, so read the installation instructions carefully.

Or migrate to FOSS software, or pay Adobe to use their product.

No explanation given, no successor or backup domains reported.

 

I'm considering getting Google Fiber for internet service, because it's about to become available in my area.

Are the Google Fiber admins cool with filesharing protocols?

Or do they strangle traffic, ban people for filesharing, etc?

 

For reasons that I don't understand to this day, my empornium account was locked years ago, and I have never found anything else close to having the depth of archives of BDSM/fetish material that it had.

Are there any alternatives out there?
