Site-blocking isn’t just theoretically dangerous. Italy’s system blocked hundreds of innocent websites. Spain’s swept up domains belonging to Greenpeace and Harvard. Now Congress wants to bring this to the U.S. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/10/congress-has-another-site-blocking-bill-and-one-targets-vpns

Congress Has Another Site-Blocking Bill, And This One Targets VPNs

Congress is taking another run at site-blocking, a deeply flawed concept that would undermine basic internet infrastructure. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has introduced the American Copyright Protection Act (ACPA), H.R.

As always Tor and VPNs hosted om countries that tell US laws to fuck off will defeat this. This does however limit the reach of a targetted site.

Enough of this though and we will see enough people have to use Tor or other darknet protocols for at least one thing that this reach reduction will be greatly reduced. Porn without end user age verification could be the "killer app" to popularize Torbrowser, and there are already dedicated anonymous filesharing protocols that are similar to Tor but not quite the same. This because Tor does not hide a braodcast IP address in bittorrent and cannot handle the bandwidth so another protocol had to be built.

Well there is Tribler and also BiglyBT has i2p and tor plugins active by default.
And yes, torrents are flooded by porn for about 2 years now, at such a rate, it is exceeding all normal releases. At the end of this year, porn will probably outnumber them.

In countries which hunt p2p users, Tribler is the best option without a vpn.

The Cortelco 250044 looks just like the Western Electric 500 series telephones that were a mid-century American icon. But is it still the real thing, or just a phony?

Good post that gets into the futility I feel when I try to do something creative online anymore. I'm less and less motivated to do things like write a blog or build software tools. I've found myself without much of a creative community since 2020 for a variety of societal and personal reasons. My attempts at private intellectual life have crashed and burned. I really do need creative community but I don't want to feed the plagiarism machine. Not really sure what to do.

Open source was the cement that used to hold us together as a community of programmers, but LLMs and their operators have turned it into gunpowder and lit the fuse. As a result, I’ve turned inward, and am trying to frame my projects as exercises in self-improvement, but this article still cuts deep in that the point of expressing yourself through creative work is to express yourself in community. It also doesn’t stop LLMs training on your work.

The hardest decision for any engineering organization is to recognize that something into which they have invested significant effort, time and money is hopeless, and cancel the effort.

These situations are inevitable, and if management is incapable of making such decisions the entire organization is doomed to failure.

Conversely, if the plug is pulled on futile projects, what rises from the ashes is usually exceptionally good, since it inherits the lessons learned from the failed effort.

I had a fess published a few years ago about how I couldn't connect with my lifelong pals cos all they wanted to do was booze and take coke. I told them how I felt, turned out they thought the same and now we climb Munro's on Sundays. Lads, talk to your pals.

The US just sanctioned the entire International Criminal Court. Banks froze accounts, US tech vendors cut off licenses and updates, and YouTube pulled 700+ videos of possible war crime evidence. ⚖️

If one executive order can switch off a court, your family photos aren't safe on American clouds either. 🇪🇺

- US (particularly Repugnicant) Administrations have long had an issue with ICC.
It’s why so few senior management ever leave the US once their diplomatic security is gone. They - rightfully - have a fear of being charged for their behaviour.
This Administration particularly worse than many.

Not receiving notifications from Peertube contacts

I've set several Peertube contacts so that I get notifications from them every time they upload, both on their main account (listed as a group) and their corresponding channels. I still don't get the notifications anyway, is this a problem with Peertube, or is it a bug on Friendica's end that I should report? Other types of accounts (Mastodon, RSS, Bluesky, Threads even) do give me notifications reliably.

That's the problem, there should be a notification from the group contact but it doesn't appear on my side. Not sure if a problem with my account per se, or with the way Peertube groups work internally on Friendica - Lemmy group notifications do reach me properly though. Debugging this will be complicated as it relies on a Peertube account posting, though.

Sure, I can send an issue, I just wanted to confirm if it was normal behavior. I'd spin my old Peertube instance back for debugging, but I'm not sure if my current server would be able to run both instances without getting saturated - I can hope somebody else can debug this though.

Sinc eit works for you for Lemmy, Iit is likely that you know how to use that feature :-) That's enough to check for differences between the different actors.

Can you take a screenshot of the message header (means the top of the message including the date and time, but without the post itself) of one of these Peertube videos where you hadn't been notified? I would like to check some values there to be sure.

Thanks, that's exactly what I suspected, so I know the reason why you don't get notified. Can you create that issue anyway? My attention span is rather short and anything that is only posted in the group mostly will be wiped out of my memory the second that I switch to the next message :-)

The closest open-source alternative for frame generation on #Linux is #MPV with #Vapoursynth and #MVTools. I still haven't been able to configure it in such a way that there's not a lag of almost a second, though.

I know it's niche, but I'm not happy about frame generation still depending on proprietary software on #Linux. It's either #LosslessScaling / #LSFGVK (proprietary engine, interface moved from free software to non-commercial), or #BorderlessGaming (used to be free software, then moved to proprietary)

Ayer estaba haciendo una reservación para ver el documental NAZA el premiado proyecto que examina los mecanismos militares utilizados por Israel y su ejército en Gaza, estaba haciendo la reserva en Cinema San Pedro y mientras estaba haciendo el pago tuve problemas, al rato que volví a intentar el documental desapareció por completo de la plataforma.

Hoy sale publicado por la distribuidora Pacífica Grey que la junta directiva de Cinema San Pedro decidió cancelar todas las funciones.
