There is no point in running your own indexer if it's only for your own music though. If your goal is to run a more "communal" indexing point, it also makes sense to build it cooperatively with other artists, listing only con

There probably are nefarious content you can see just from the filenames but not everything is like that. Moreover, you "only" know they distribute it, you don't do it yourself.

An indexer doesn't download content. The only information you'll have is the name of a torrent, potentially its files, and who is interested in those files. But that's the technical view, what happens in court might be totall

You don't need an indexer for that. All you need is a static list with all your music, and people can click on links to download your music. Give them qbittorrent and it'll be running smoothly.

Another alternative is https://github.com/the8472/mldht which, contrary to magnetico, strives to be a nice citizen (its author is active in the bittorrent community AFAIU)

The point of a union, to me, is to get society to a point where you are in control of your life. You as an individual but also you as a group, regarding your origins, your gender, your sexual orientation, your skin color, or your place in t

That all depends what a union is about to you. To me, it is totally on-topic.

by rakoo 3y ago
In IT we have it pretty easy and can rebound without as much hassle as other domains, so we think we're kinda safe. We're not. Join a union when things are good, to help you when things are bad.

XMPP also has a good set of bridges though.

All of this is absolutely valid, but none of this is specific to the XMPP/Matrix ecosystems

Interestingly Delta Chat kind of fits the bill thanks to their investigation of webxdc, i.e. mini apps that run entirely within the chat and never connect to the outside world, only with peers in the chat: https://webxdc.org&#x2F

This definitely helps the developer but as they said ( https://gultsch.social/@daniel/111930342452832163 ) they much prefer having Conversations being available to non-techy people than relying on the hardcore fans

Do you actually believe that's how research works ? "You have X days/months/years to find a cure for a disease" ?

We need a pharmaceutical library, not a pharmaceutical market. Research doesn't cost $2.5 billion, lobbying does.

And yet that's exactly what the patent model claims: The invention is the fruit of a single mind who must get the entirety of money ever produced by the commercialization of the product. It is a glorification of individualism
321.
by rakoo 3y ago
This is absolutely not the point of the patent system, otherwise there would be no provision for a monopoly over the commercial manufacturing of the invention. Don't be deluded, the patent system serves as a weapon for bigger companies
