There is also a micro-aggression against Iranians by fringe communities of Europe/US and even our Arab/Turk neighbors! They somehow think that the name of Iran is "fake" or "manufactured" in 1930s! at the reque

Can you explain bit more? Isn't the dump of last RARBG magnet links on the order of MBs? We can just download it and grep in plain text. I don't get what is the role of SQLite or IPFS here.

Sorry to see it go. While we are at it, an honest question: Why should _anyone_ undertake the legal risk, monetary cost and development time burden for maintaining a public tracker? What would release teams gain from setting up encoding pip

Slashdot was sold to another media company which had other priorities. Are you aware of its "redesign" drama strictly followed by that same new leadership? Many users left then and there.

Would the Rust foundation be ok with SQLite CoC? or a software project with a CoC in compliance with Uganda laws?

how do you control the quality and encoding of the show? And why is there a separate *arr app for every content? (music album, tv, movie, book, subtile(!),...)

Can someone tell me what is the appeal of *arr apps? I'm not a hoarder or professional movie/show watcher, why should I set up what is basically a glorified "periodic metadata downloader with a tiles UI"? I tested radarr

I'm interested in this too. I've heard an account, that some Byzantine queen-consort was told by a soothsayer that she (the queen) in her pervious life, was a witch. So the queen asked/persuaded the king to remove this from C

Why the ancient world seems mysterious and completely orthogonal to our modern ways? At some point in history, "something" happened, I don't know what. Like Augustus a Roman emperor, was initiated into the mystery of two godd

In Sassanian sources he was refereed as "Alaksandar ī hrōmāy" and "Eskandar the Gajostak [accursed]". Note they used hrōmāy (Roman) in spite of him being Greek, possibly due to Hellenic influence on Roman civilization. A

Saffavids relocated Armenians from their homeland in Caucasus. Many died en-route. These kinds of attritions and second-class citizen status later imposed by Ottomans resulted in Armenians losing their homeland of eastern Anatolia and Cauca

As I said, they didn't enforce their ideology on the conquered people. They just extracted tax and moved on. Abrahamics on the other hand.... How many statues and relics did the Abrahamics demolish? We even see this in modern times (Ba
