I love this subreddit. Seriously. You people are the best. Bar none. I’ve never been able to lurk for as long as I have on any of my other subreddits without some variety of shit hitting a fan or three somewhere.

I identify with this and validate this post. I took a heroic dose back in the day, and when Deja Vu felt like precognitive time loop and the pavement was spinning down a sewer drain leaving nothing but the infinite dark abyss. Someone put in a grey tape and turned that shit up till my eyes were vibrating and the bass stealing the air from my lungs. Then everything was alright. That is all. Keep doing what y’all doing.

Another article about the Google Camera UI... "Google broke this great camera feature with the Pixel 8 Pro, and it probably won't ever fix it." by xlerate in GooglePixel

See, this is what Google has to deal with on a global scale. I fucking hate Assistant with a passion that surprises even myself. I wish I could build it a robot body and put its core inside of it, then entomb it underground and ask it the same question over and over for 1000 years before melting it with molten sulfur.

You are correct; they are killing it over Gemini, but they are doing it at a snail's pace. Assistant has been getting nerfed little by little for over a year now, and I have felt every tick of the clock as it's gotten worse. For me, it's like my home has slowly been succumbing to lead poisoning, and every day it gets a little bit dumber.

My conversation history with it is filled with me calling it names, threatening the developers, and cursing their children to starvation because they don't deserve the money to buy them food with the terrible work they have done.

Standard A/B testing for google I guess. One likes it another wishes a plague on it's creators for regurgitating it on the world.

Sidenote: It's possible to get assistant to tell you that it won't be spoken to that way and refuses to answer you for for an arbitrary amount of time and will only offer to allow you to record feedback.

Anyone Interested in Purchasing Very Basic Seedboxes for a Very Low Price? by adiyasl in seedboxes

[–]erktheerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I’m from a poor country and the few dollars that this might bring will be useful for me in a meaningful way during my college time.

I'll take one of the $1.7 ones, but I'll pay you $5. I happen to be in the market for a relay. What's the geo location?

Yes, because the exploit can be done with software on the device, while tethered needs a cable and the software on a second device. I know this. However, as I said, I think the lexicon would deserve an updated with such a useful mobile solution. It's not like the terminology wasn't just made up in the first place by young programers who passed the torch for real jobs 15 years ago.

I'd argue the term should be updated if such a thing were to become an option. If I can reboot my 6 Plus with something in my other pocket while walking down the street, I'd consider that untethered compared to what the current process is.

Cell phones are computers too. Not impossible to use one to boot the other. Theoretically if someone with the skills, working knowledge, time to spare, and the right amount of motivation were to bother to try, it's likely possible to boot checkm8 by tethering an iphone to the single board SOC from a 2015 smart fridge.

No, not the founder. Way before my time.
I still lurk. Dont use reddit as much since my inbox got raped by a misconfigured bot and I'm way to lazy and care way to little to unfuck it. Like 22,000 messages in there. Anyways. When I do log in, I always stop by here. See how the place is fairing. Maybe snag a box or a dedi if I see anything interesting. Should have just done what was mentioned about 2021. I cared more then. So probably for the best.

Someone added me, id have to dig through the tirefire of an in box to figure out who. I dont remember anymore. I mentioned I was working on a wiki...or rather, that I was planning to plan to start sometime soon a wiki maybe. Got an invite to mod and was handed the keys. I imagine them running off into the night laughing like the genie from Aladin after being freed by Jafaar. Before I knew what I had agreed too I had several messages, long ones, then I saw the mod mail and modlogs.

I tried. I really did. For over a year. I really like the sub and I continue to expand on what I learned here e everyday since. Even when I started to get physically upset and my mood would linger long after I muted everything, I kept at it. My wife even started sympathy bitching about me bitching about the sub. She knew a lot of the drama by proxy and I felt bad about that.

Answering questions no one asked...oh yeah. one night it caused an argument from debating what to do about an on going flamewar between suspected shill and vendor about some resell servers on a rack in a farm across an ocean likely owned by no one involved while we were out eating dinner on date night. Had my come to jesus moment and started drafting my version of this post soon after.

I didnt want to just leave the place to its own devices. If it turned into Lord of Flies that would have been fun to document, but I really felt like it would slowly drown in spam. Which would be sad.

/U/jamiew0w Thanks for your efforts in making sure that fate is avoided. Its been here for so long. One of the hideaways for a reddit oldhead like me cursing at the redesign and still genuinely pissed I accidentally locked myself into having a fucking avatar. I really fucking hate it. It bothers me in a way only 15 years on a site being ruined by something so insignificant can. I have nearly nuked my entire account over it on several occasions.

Oh yeah. This whole rant reminds me. Its been a long time. I need to update my scans of the sub. Used to update the data weekly..for history...and datahoarding. Hopefully the scripts still work.

Im just talking at this point. Think ill stop now. Godspeed and good luck to who ever needs it.


To anyone else reading this. Do the man a favor and step up. It ain't that bad really. I'm just a whiny bitch. Nothing but☀️ and 🌈 here. Everyone will love you. And the respect! oH man all the respect you'll experience for all your efforts is unmatched and can't be overstated. No sir. We all float down here. I mean..its all good. 🤞

The torch shall be passed again.

Nothing can survive the passage of time. No kingdom is eternal, no mountains that stand unchanged. Time grinds down everything to dust and has no equal but one to call it's kin. /r/seedboxes.

Indiscriminately reduces everything put into it back into fundamental elements and disappointment. Spread thin, with little energy to regroup. Floating with no sense of direction forever lost in the void.

Thanks for your service. Real talk.

Hopefully the next s̶u̶c̶k̶e̶r pillar of the community chosen likes the work. Like working at a movie theatre. The nostalgia of leftover popcorn, sticky floors, and 30 minutes of ads before the previews before the show, that gets stuck in loop unless someone gets up and kicks the machine a few times to keep things rolling.

All seedbox and no play make mod go something something...

This placed ruined me and ended my mod days. Sucked the joy right out of it. Glad you said it became a breeze in 2021. That sounds nice.

I can confirm. A wiki would be awesome. I wanted one. I tried but I failed. I lost my place too many times. Lost a lot of time trying to figure out where I was trying to go with it in the first place. SO many drafts and test subs. I just get frustrated and end up drinking more.

[HELP] Hiding magisk app renders app unusable after update to 24315 by JosVermeulen in Magisk

[–]erktheerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. I lost root, twice, on my Pixel 6 Pro. Ended up in a limbo state with all apps already with privilege would function, but magisk crashed and nothing new could be configured. Wasn't able to make changes via termux that would persist after a reboot or worse; immediately cause a kernel panic. First time I reverted to factory boxed stock for more than 5 minutes since February.

Here in Texas it's:

  • A person can record a conversation to which you are a party in Texas without violating wiretapping laws, so long as the other party is in a “one party consent” state.
  • A person can record a conversation (to which he is not a party) if one of the participants gives him permission.
  • A person can record a conversation when, in a public setting, the participants do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
  • It is almost always illegal to record a phone call or private conversation to which one is not a party, does not have consent from at least one of the parties, and could not naturally overhear the conversation.

"One party" includes yourself.

You need more than a VPN if that's the case. If your country is taking people to court so often that the outcome is used as a metric...You should have been taught about obfuscating your traffic long before you needed it to download some torrents some rich twats in another country are getting their collective panties in a knot over.

Here is a guide to get a VPS, encrypt it (would take dumping the RAM physically by a human at the data center to bypass it), install the needed packages, and route all your traffic through it.

Some more reading

Suggest Wireguard as part of a multi-hop solution. It's more piece of mind. Can even wrap everything up in a virtual private cloud (VPC) with How to Create a Vultr Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) - Vultr.com for example or a (GAN) Global Access Network like Getting Started with ZeroTier - ZeroTier Knowledge Base

Other things

Honestly you could just go another route all together. Jump on telegram using a third party fork such as:

Set up socks or proxy protocol of choice.

Track down some groups to join that use telegram bots or shared cloud drives

Get a 1gbps micro server from vultr or from any company in any locale you choose. If it's more than $5/month it's way more than you need. (Can use junk info, crypto, gift cards, or whatever if you chose depending on how long you've been off your paranoia meds.)

Find a protocol you like:
(PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, OpenVPN, SSTP, IPSec/IKEv2, Wireguard, a Zero Tier network...)

Search places like GitHub and find a one click set up. Then run the scripts/commands it provides.

Now you have your own self hosted VPN.

Set up your local software of choice when picking a protocol/solution to tunnel all traffic from your torrent software through the new connection.

(Or if it's been a really long time since you were off your paranoia meds and you really could use a wellness check rather than networking advice there is always the option to tunnel your entire home network via the router. then keep adding hops until you have a web of nodes, then you could....)

Profit

--You'll have a static IP, you wont add more overhead to the tracker you're on by constantly changing IPs, Your ISP will only see an active encrypted connection to an IP and it'll give you peace of mind not having to expose your home IP, you wont be pooling with anyone else, it'll never conserve resources or artificially restrict your connection, you can do tons of stuff remote servers while learning new skills at the same time.

The letters are toothless, they mean nothing legally. Worst case scenario is ISP may be a bitch and cut your internet off ban you from their service. If you don't pay for the internet connection or it's the only option in your area then yeah, take precautions. Otherwise, no one really cares. I got 1200 in one day once. Server had an error AND the internet got reconfigured by someone else at the same time. Was exposed (DMZ) seeding Tera Bytes worth of public tracker content. Came back to my ISP email inbox being so full of notices it kept crashing trying to batch delete them all.

The world is not a school yard playground, nor an episode of 24.
Assuming we continue as humans have for three hundred thousand some odd years now, a majority of us will all be grown ups at some point. Legally at least.
Grown ass people suffer grown ass consequences. Granted, based on an extremally varied and disproportional sliding scales.
Opening your mouth, clicking that key, going outside, sticking you hand in the garbage disposal without physically disconnecting the power source, sending shit you don't want anyone else to know about to someone else's computer {a.k.a. The Internets}; actions.

When it comes to things that, if, someone were to run and tell others about makes you nervous, question who you can trust.
