  • Thanks for your reply, I will definitely keep that in mind if Seafile fails to meet any critera moving on, but yeah your last point is also right, it would probably be a big pain to migrate out at this point with all my data for multiple users here.

    It seems a lot has been modernising recently, I didn't know they were also using Go, but hopefully they continue with it for new code.

  • The problem is that content rights holders setup bots that track who is torrenting media that they own (all the peers they can connect to).

    Then they use your ip to ask your ISP to stop you.

    As far as i am aware (and possibly wrong), magnet links aren't any more secure than using a .torrent file, it's just another form of it that can be easily clicked (or copied) to open in your client (i've never looked but it might just be a link containing the info that would be in the torrent file).

  • NextCloud being so slow forced me to migrate to Seafile.

    Seafile being less one-stop-shoppy made me not use it so much, but whenever I do it is always fast and responsive (unlike nextcloud, where 80% of the time I was looking at the loading indicator). Looking it up now though, it looks like it has a lot of new features I haven't yet tried so I'm probably gonna start using it more now.

    Only downside with Seafile is it's deduplication (for me), because it stops me from easily accessing files directly (always gotta use a client). Likely a benefit for most though and I do rarely need to access a file directly on disk, just when I do, it'd be an easy shortcut for whatever I'm doing.

  • Depending on where you live, it may not matter if you don't use a VPN, you could possibly research what usually happens in your area?

    Many people never get warnings, others ignore them and nothing happens.

    Usually nothing happens because ISPs don't care if you torrent, it wastes their time and resources when studios/content owners send dmcas (or whatever) and they have to send a warning. I bet the warnings are just automated for most isps so they can mostly ignore them. ISPs also don't want to punish their customers because then they'll lose revenue by cutting you off.

    (The ignoring part is heresay, i'm just combining info i've heard over the years and experience)

    Some (most?) countries it's not illegal to torrent copyrighted content either, unless you distribute it (seed).

  • Do you know how long a renovation would take? Maybe you could get away with washing with a wet rag/towel to save building a whole new bathroom. Unless you also just want two bathrooms because that's neat to have.

  • I have no source, but I remember seeing a graph of where iPhones sell and places like China/India were 80% android phones (mostly Samsung I think).

    I don't think the asian marketplace puts Apple products in such high regard as the US.

    Samsung phones are still premium, I think they appeal more in other countries.

    I see what you mean though with 20% of just China being almost the US population, but they are still losing 300m customers.

  • This support is provided at no cost, reflecting Akamai's commitment to giving back to the open-source community.

    Sounds like it wasn't a choice so much as one of the biggest CDNs in the world giving a free hand out to a project it relies on itself.

    Anyways a lot of companies use Akamai, I don't think its odd.

  • Hehe that is funny, sadly I think the US is Apples biggest market, so they probably wouldn't want to let go and give up any marketshare.

    US usually is the most important market for most (international) companies I believe.

  • That's why if you put several electric cars connected in a row, place them on tracks, externalize the power source, and you get the most efficient way of travelling - trains.

    Sounds right when said like that, but I think very important factors are missing in that comparison. Maily: energy used per person & space used per person.

    Most cars on the road are only transporting one person (the driver), which leaves a lot of wasted space. Trains on the other hand can carry way more people than cars can when using the space amount of space.

    I don't know energy used per passenger but it's certainly less for train vs car (when both running on renewable energy).

    Apparently (I think C02 emissions should give us the same idea if we assume both use clean energy): Eurostar: 6g CO2e per passenger km Electric Car: 53g (one passenger) CO2e per passenger km (or 13g with 4 passengers)

    Don't think a lot of trains are as clean as the eurostar worldwide but it's possible to be that clean.

    Theres many more benefits to trains too such as: You don't have to drive (browse lemmy while travelling), cheaper, 20x safer, a good train system can save you time, less waste (when your car eventually is scrapped, I'm sure a lot if recycled, but must still be a lot of waste, including energy spent recycling). Probably a lot of other stuff too.

    p.s. sorry if i am wrong about stuff im trying to be right ;()

  • There's probably a balance somewhere. When it's that hot, you can sweat walking, but sweat only a little more when biking calmly because you get an extra breeze while doing so.

    I'm not a smart person though, maybe theres a place on earth where you wouldn't feel any breeze while biking.
