Meta’s expert […] argued that […] if Meta shared small blocks of data, they would be unusable to the receiver.

This is ridiculous. On a large torrent, a single piece can contain dozens of books. Pieces are contiguous unencrypted data. One piece contains several pages in any cases. What if I set my maximum ratio to 0.999, am I allowed to seed then?

Those nerves you need to stay calm debating with such a jerk…

I’m very satisfied with mine. Some UI tweeks were required to adapt to the small screen.

The one on the picture is actually a Keyone. It runs Android 8 which was just fine.

Hi, I’m in France but sorry my comment was for Google Maps, not Apple maps, my bad!

I’m in Europe, here it displays «Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)»

I primarily buy used drives. Depending on your area, you might find buyers easily for your old 4TB+ ones.

Could you specify wether these support physical keyboards? (showing only a toolbar when one is detected). I’m using the default proprietary Kika-keyboard on my device and it’s not great. Microsoft Swiftkey works but is not perfect and not FLOSS.

Also the “auto normalize” option (true by default and only shown in advanced settings) can mess-up with your source files. Mouting source files read-only won’t work either as it is creating files in source folders.

indeed, I have this daily archive backed-up via syncthing like any other data.

I don’t think advertising here is necessary 😉

I use RSS but as far as I’m concerned, Lemmy is better, because it is categorized and ranked.

All CEOs understood how to behave with such an arrogant person: flatter him and he will bow to your every wims.

These IPFS issues are basically UI-related. You wouldn’t expect a torrent to start within 2 seconds. You wouldn’t expect your torrent to be shared autonomously either. Technically, sharing IPFS hashes along with release names (similar to the crc32 on pre databases) would be very efficient, if only it was popular with a proper UI and indexing tooling. These hashes could even be signed by scene groups in the nfo.

This rule is a trap. They are supposed to do it but there is no way to do this reliably (not even mentioning privacy issues).

It is not anonymous and suffers network fragmentation. Yet the force of Bittorrent is its large community and mature performant tooling (compared to IPFS).

I’d say yes. The user base / visibility of i2p torrent is pretty limited though. You can have a look at the Postman i2p tracker.

Sounds overkill just for backing up files.
