I totally get the intent of this message, but it’s so beautifully reads both ways.

You still need biometrics, passwords, pins.

I get the nerves, but I can’t find any reasonable way it’s less secure

Your mobile processor can handle a couple of threads of download per core. If you’re downloading from multiple locations and aren’t throttled and have a phone with many cores, it can go faster. Realistically, to min/max, the software should know what your max configuration is and push that per download. Once a download fails to achieve the max, then it allows other downloads to bypass the queue. For large files, it’s almost always more efficient to focus on less streams if the streams can provide you the throughput.

I’m afraid this isn’t really going to be horribly effective. There are bottlenecks in the network stack and there are bottlenecks in the process of writing to the internal storage.

Maybe if one of the apps was hosted on crappy storage somewhere… Even at 1:00 at a time and choose through some fairly decent amounts of CPU.

Npm isnt horrible for that.

I maintain giant playlists for each user. Generally just shuffle whoever’s listening.

Sounds like the low energy Bluetooth controller can be powered separate of the processor and configured to occasionally drop a beacon.

I’d like to say this is horrible on an outrage but I’m walking around with half a dozen Tile beacons in my bag.

The poor.

Seriously though, their prices aren’t as good as they used to be. They’re now mid-range Chinese products instead of absolute trash.

Has anyone considered just flipping the switch between the front and rear trolley wheels derailing the fucker?

If you’re going to Torrent you need to keep one in your pocket at a minimum.

Public or private,you should be running hiding your ass through a VPN or seed box.

Private trackers run ratios to make sure that content stays available. Well you can find most of what you want on public trackers there are always a few things here and there that are much easier to find in private.

Security-wise I don’t really think there’s much of a difference. Private trackers get infiltrated and shut down they’re just much smaller when it happens so you don’t hear about as much.

PTFE super lube. Won’t degrade and stink up the place. It’s the same lube you put on linear bearings.

You might try greasing the dowel.

I am just starting this journey as well. (Learning about training)

There are a billion videos on fine tuning an existing model I’m pretty sure that’s what you need to do in the end. If you can’t find a model that has exactly what you’re looking for and you can find a decent number of samples you can take one of the other anime models and fine tune it with your samples. I watched a guy take an anime model and train it with The GitHub mascot.

The cool thing is they were using Google collab. They’re able to get the train done for like $8 a month, and the skill required was extremely low. I think the hardest part is the training data needs to all the in 512x512.

Fwiw, put /tmp on its own partition and mount it with noexec

Private trackers just lessen the surface area. When the companies decide to lobby enough to change the laws you’ll need to hide with private as well.

tech the law. You need rights. I’m not sure we can right-out the system, we probably need both.

Sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself pal

Your ISP is logging you. And everybody’s just sitting around waiting for the day that the feds decide to do something about piracy beyond icing a few domains there’s a difference between them knowing what you’re doing, and then being the handle the hand over exactly what you’re doing.

It’s the point that these jerk wuads are trying to run their own studios that’s causing the mainstay of the failure.

They’re expecting us to pay for their content failures.

Prior to everybody running their own crappy studio, They licensed what we wanted to watch, they negotiated decent prices and we watched it. If a studio didn’t make good content it didn’t get purchased.

It’s the whole discovery channel aliens, reality TV enshitification all over again.

They’re hemorrhaging, money they’ll stop producing the more expensive stuff they’ll produce the cheaper stuff people watch the cheaper stuff, the whole time screaming it’s the pirates fault.

You could go as far as virtual audio cables and audacity. No matter what changes they can’t stop that.

But if your library supports OD, go dig up the old PC app for OD. When you download the book to start listening to it it decrypts it as it throws it onto the drive.

Some books seem to have some weird duplicated audio here and there is a coffee protection method. Like there’s some secret M3U somewhere that skips around when it plays it, but most stuff comes out clean.

If you can’t get it to come out with the app use one of the virtual audio cable style applications wire the output into a line-in for audacity and just rerecord the whole thing compress it down. You lose individual chapters as files I don’t really pay attention to the chapters I’m on I care about the total distance to the book and being able to pick up where I left off. I suppose if you were trying to do some kind of hybrid read and listen back and forth it would be more useful to have the chapter numbers.
