the main problems of those blocking orders, worldwide, not only in india, is that while blocks are immediate and done with no supervision directly in the hands of the copyright trolls, unblocks are slow and need 100+ approvals

That koel is really nice
Funny that from the intro it looks like we should thank apple for their ridiculous SSD pricing ($200 for 256gb is really honest) - the dev ran out of space on their MacBook and so made this webapp to free 40gb.
In my opinion it's worth because it looks like you have some loads and two extra cores might be useful
Can I hijack the thread? I have a similar offer, a friend wants to swap his i5-9400F with my i3-8100 + some beer money, worth? The reason is that he didn't know that the F series doesn't come with a GPU and has a paperweight. In my case it's just a file server on truenas with no big load... yet.
I create a new email for each new sign up so I immediately know who leaked it. If spam is coming I can close it
i also would like a solution that doesn't require a dedicated GPU
for security issues i don't really like to give direct access to the whole server just to watch movies (yes, i could create a limited user on a limited group that can access the movies directory and nothing else, but then because i'm not a linux guru....)
i'd like to have a VM running on the integrated GPU
WeChat, taobao, alipay, amap they all do this. Go to watch /pictures on your android with a file manager. You will notice some folders called .gs0 .gs3 and so on.
Inside there are dummy images with tracking data. They do like this because apps on Android don't need an extra permission to drop "images" on /pictures
Those folders are not shown by default because normal file managers on Android hide any file with the name that starts with a dot.
And those dummy images aren't shown in photo galleries also because of another file that's dropped in those folders, .nomedia
You also never saw the ads on the taobao splash screen???? Did you ever opened that app? Not to mention that phone permission is mandatory to use that app for some reason. (And can't do any search until you register your phone number with SMS verification)
Other Chinese apps with ads on the splash screen is Huawei store, mijia, amap
And the Chinese customs app also requires an insane amount of permissions, never gave my European phone number, but a week after entering the country I got a phone call from +8621962110 - who gave them the number? (Don't know what that call was about because answering a phone call in roaming is 2 euro per minute, but from some search on Baidu it looks like it's some robocall from the Chinese police)
Good luck being a developer or do technical support without GitHub, Google, Reddit (Lemmy?) or stackexchange
Or market your product without the possibility of accessing any western social network
If you ever notice, all apps developed in china are similar. Ads at start, invasive tracking using dummy images dropped in /pictures, unnecessary permissions like phone and IMEI, and so on. They literally don't have a way to compare to something else. There's the Baidu SDK, Tencent SDK, aliyun SDK and they are using bad coding practices because they're doing that in isolation
They're shooting in their feet
This is stupid. Kick out a customer? Guess €0 per month is better than €7
Greedy fucks
Very nice and seems fast
In the next weeks I'll go in an authoritarian country so I can test if it works good
Seems trustworthy even if free, but if using for p2p it's a bit abusing them, maybe donate a bit via liberapay
Crossbox is not bad but for individual usage it's too expensive, the pricing is for sysadmins with hundreds of users
100% of the ads I see on Twitter today are dropshipping scams, while in the pre-musk era they were highly targeted to my job and interests to the point that if there wasn't the "ad" tag I couldn't distinguish that.
They can't cost the same for the advertiser, a generic dropshipping scam that targets everyone must be cheap
I very rarely backup game saves but only the thought of being locked to a console puts me off. I can't possibly invest 100+ hours in a Pokemon game and lose everything of the battery dies, screen breaks, console is forgotten on a bus or stolen, and so on.
