Same for GY!BE, I guess

Generally, no. Some private trackers will give you trouble for it, but it’s not a terrible thing to do. It just means there are less sources of those files for other peers. This could lead to someone not getting the full download and being stuck at 99%, if you’re the only seeder online. For popular torrents, no harm done at all

sorry to break this to you, but zoomers are all adults now

I’ve done that for one or two modules, but if that’s too much, I just do the hackjob solution: have the actual dot files in the repo and include them in the config, so nixos copies then to the store read-only and links them to my home. But I’ve had that come up pretty rarely, tbh. I don’t know if Home-Manager has become more comprehensive or if I’m just not that demanding, but I’ve only had a handful of modules where I needed to do significant tinkering

I use nixos (with Home-Manager), so I have everything in a declarative configuration. I have all of that in a public repo (well not quite all, I have my email setup in a private repo that’s included in the configuration).

Ah I see

I think most of us here don’t use Reddit, so that option went right over my head

That gives you a ton of dead posts with zero comments and upvotes, some instances do it, but that just leads to dead communities

Okay grandpa, let’s get you back to bed

I’d think a wheelbarrow or hand-drawn cart would still be useful, but I see your point

I think the problem lies with the definition of consent more than with the definition of suffering. If the alternative is something worse, then that’s not consent. That’s coercion.

Now, whether it’s still appropriate to still call it suffering when applied to someone enthusiastically consenting, I’m not sure.

Fair enough. I just thought it had become pretty ubiquitous in the desktop ecosystem, just because HDMI licencing fees are egregious

Every single monitor I’ve seen that’s built in the last 8ish years has at least one. All modern graphics cards do too. Are you sure you’ve not seen them?

It works in the browser

RISC-V :'>

Yup. Well, and bulk book downloaders. But mostly the servers, and anyone else trying to set up a shadow library

It’s a decentralized backup, basically. Storage servers get seized and shut down all the time, and then people can rebuild from the torrents. The more people help to seed, the more likely it is that everything survives a takedown.

Were you?

Not sure why they show it like that, it might be a design choice. Where I live, it’s often put as decimals, with the last digit smaller than the others:

9/10 of a cent
