Saw this downloader on my feed today, and it looks neat.

torrent galaxy has what you're after (as a boxset), and does imdb id search results.

Not access, knowledge. Giving a specifically unique device identifier every time you visit a page is different from the website guessing if you visited recently based on your screen size and cookies.

You have to set up ipv6 to change regularly to avoid that.

You have to take extra steps to ensure that the benefits of NAT aren't lost when you switch to ipv6. Everyone knowing exactly which device you're using because a single ipv6 IP per-device is the default.

Ipv6 is nice, but also you need to know what you're doing to get all the benefits without any of the downsides.

Not sure what you mean about migration. People absolutely do move less when it is made harder to move. Mitigation isn't perfect, it never is, but for damn sure it helps.

Just because the wall is dumb as fuck doesn't mean it didn't stop at least a few people from crossing the border.

Probably for the best if downvotes remain less easy to access, at the very least. There's a myth that people who are suicidal will "find a way even if you take away some of the easier methods", which is explicitly false. If you take away the easy option, you are directly reducing the harm that easy option might have caused. https://gizmodo.com/why-have-people-stopped-committing-suicide-with-gas-5959303

If the admins take away the quick and easy option for seeing who downvoted your passionate comment, the mods are directly reducing the number of people who go on rants about downvotes and targeted vitriol.

It has nothing to do with privacy; this is a public forum that by it's very nature, requires that all activity be easily available to all the sites you federate with. There is not privacy in that.

This is about the type of community that forms around the software. Do we want to encourage, and make easily available, the list of people who disagree with you? Or do we want to to put minor barriers around that to help keep the number of people who do that low?

Naw. Downvotes are invisible by default here on fedia, but we can see upvotes. Just gotta check the page for them.

I gotta say, I've known this for a while, and the lack of downvote transparency has always frustrated me in the moment, but looking back it's probably for the best. I would not have used it in a positive way.

Was this a call for help or...?

I have the att bgw-320 as well. Very excited for when the hardware for the bypass comes around.

I tried using the IP passthrough setup on it, but it ended up causing all sorts of slowdowns that I had troubles diagnosing. I was using the nanopi r4s with a WiFi AP when I had this issue. Make sure to look into compatibility with ATTs IP passthrough is not total passthrough so you might have to dig into the details to make sure it all works together.

Is this a bug, or is it actually just limited to the transcode speed? I would love to read the incident/bug report about this.

Very neat.

It's also nice to have a reminder about choosing hardware for now and for future choices as well. I'm still on an nvidia 1080 but I'll likely use amd next go around.
