I think a big contributor that made this a much bigger and messier problem was allowing or enabling or not-forbidding the non-enforcement of laws. As it stands, this occurs in far more instances than is necessary for practical reasons. From

Side note. But if they're banning TikTok, they totally need to ban Youtube and Instagram as both of them have what TikTok has. I.e. The never-ending slot-machine of dopamine known as Shorts and Reels.

Everyone wants to seed, so it's over saturated. Thus you won't be hitting the limits any time soon, and if you get close you just manage it with limits. But to answer your question, for 25TB I've seen packages that cost 20eur

You'd be surprised how much storage space these seed boxes provide for very little cost. And these things aren't VPSs anymore. They're glorified SaaS products that give you Netflix streaming in a box, for less than the cost o

With the availability and ease of use of Seed boxes, this feature is kinda moot. It doesn't even cater to power users any more because they've all moved to seed boxes a really long time ago. This just leaves semi-serious individua

HN is the best place for this kind of "sensitive" topic in my opinion. Youtube is full of self-promotion and "experts" that just try to rack up views. Good luck wading through that, and that's even if you find sol

Because we all have our pet-theories as to why this is all happening. I don't think it's us trying to rationalize it away or divert blame from ourselves, but rather just us applying our own worldview and internal problem-solving h

Ironically, previous ones worked beautifully for me but this one fails on my desktop Firefox. Couldn't even select text on the page to copy paste, utter failure.

Maybe not "criminal", sure. But even us thinking "oh it's a civil matter, not criminal one" is something conjured up by the lawyers in conjunction with government. It's such a convenient excuse, basically makin

It's very hard to have honest and logical discussions about this. Both sides are biased here, and both sides think the other is undermining their will and interests. And sane adults that see some of this "meta detail" and cal

I've seen much-lauded "Devops" or "platform" teams spend two months writing 500+ files for 3 simple python services, 5 if you include two databases. We could have spent a tiny fraction of that 10-dev-months to deplo

And this is why we can't have nice, cheap things. Instead we usually get that "cost" pressure solved by giving it on a silver platter to worker-rights-leading China. There has to be a better way to prevent abuses in the marke

You could plant a trillion trees tomorrow but it won't help anything so long as places like China and India pollute the oceans with millions of tones of plastic waste trash every year. That's in the thousands of tones per day re

Was this published as-is to some sort of prominent CS journal? I honestly can't tell from the link. If that's the case, I'm very disappointed and would have a few choice words about the state of "academia".
