The use of Tribler was problematic in my case because it uses a random torrent cache that was instrumentalized for lawfare after a political problem with my public employer in Spain. I was accused of having pedophile content on my computer after the prosecution's expert selected the corresponding torrents and downloaded them. It seems there are always pedophile torrents in a random sample of torrents.
The political problem was that I refused to alter statistical data for a "scientist" that wanted to publish that women after abortion develop mental health issues. They search my job computer for something to kill me and found tribler cache.
It was hard. Lost job, six years under juditial prosecution... at the end, the case was dismissed, I could show that the torrent cache was not personal, but the damage was great.
Be careful if you are an activist or have political involvement. I'm unaware of the workings of the current version, hope it encrypts the torrent cache somehow.
Why does tribler automatically download random torrents without user intervention? Is it just to perform distributed search?
In this case, it downloads random torrent _metadata_ right? How could the case be brought with just metadata? Regardless of whether the torrent cache was personal or not, if it was just metadata it still didn't contain anything illegal
linking to illegal data may be prosecuted as distribution, even if you're not the host
if you're contributing to a distributed index where people are searching and retrieving material thanks to the meta data on your drive, IMHO that's pretty close to distribution
> linking to illegal data may be prosecuted as distribution, even if you're not the host
Google also links to illegal data and actually Google is probably the largest distributor illegal data in human history (if by "distribution" we include linking)
if they argue nonsense and the judge buys, it's that.
law enforcement uses hashes of bad content. torrent conveniently uses hashes. the expert can argue if you have the hash you have the content because how torrent works.
the judge that accepted the argument about how torrent works but refused the argument about how tribler or freenet etc works should be disbarred imho.
Of course they're convinced. They had their 11S to convince them of attacking a dense city full of people. The fifth military budget in the world by GDP wasn't able to detect a breach in a hyper secured wall with 24/7 cameras and reacted several hours later killing a lot of his own people. We need to carefully review and research the facts because this seems a reverse false flag event. A desired event for zionists in order to justify carpet-bombing a city to kill, displace and clear the zone for future settlers.
I bought a LG 4k monitor with ERGO mount (32UN880-B.AEU). After the first week of use the useful small USB-C connector (power + video) was ripped off the back of the monitor PCB because the only mechanical support of this connector was the solder, no additional support to the chassis. A big hole where you can see the PCB.
Seems that there's no problem for this method of attachment in bigger connectors (HDMI or DisplayPort) but the soldered attachment of USB-C is not strong. It needs additional support to the chassis. The minimal movement of the included stiff usb-c cable when moving the ERGO mount will tear the connector off the PCB.
My monitor is broken and technical service didn't take responsibility. Money lost, never again LG.
The bingo seems written from the North american cultural and religious bias. One of the unselected song for the Spain delegation was about that... with special appearance of Zuckerberg imperial boob (censor)ship.
If this is the history of a very smart but unsuccessful fraud scheme, I can't imagine the number of successful fraud schemes that had pass undetected and had build our society or history by gaining legitimacy afterwards. All these people in the money gathering way of life (seems more of a religion) are governing the lives of the rest of us leading our wills to wars or to dedicate all of our life span to work in unfathomable tasks.
Raise your hand if you have worked hard building an honest product that does what it says, only to see another business rise up to claim the same thing but based on smoke and mirrors. Must be an age-old trick, maybe akin to the octopus pretending to be a plant so it can catch prey, or the angler fish's glowing trap in the dark.
Reducing reality to semantic ontologies is a risky sport and a pleasure for the inquisitive ones.
Forget Gödel's wall (incompleteness theorems) and keep digging searching for imperfect answers to build our existencial puzzle. Thank you for the post.
If by that point you can't just throw another 512 of RAM at the problem, I'd be worried. 1GB is already starting to become the lowest rung for VPS providers. That's the $5 plan at Linode, anyway. I fully expect that to be universal (or greater) in four years time.
And that's not to mention that while a little wider, 64bit is also faster. This could be a saving factor under load.
Neat! It seems the main drawback is that you only have 4GB of virtual memory. I wonder whether it would be possible to create some sort of hybrid that allows access to more memory. (himem? long-pointers? separating data/code/stack into different regions?)
That's what I was thinking. Arch switched to all x86_64 a few months ago (announced the phase-out) but, Arch would probably be just as lightweight. I'm not sure what DE it comes with
None, the default install of Arch leaves you with a terminal prompt and basic utilities. You can install whatever you like from there. It's closer to something like the Debian minimal install than Ubuntu desktop.
It doesn't come with one either, it's for servers. You can install the ubuntu-desktop package (which is basically what you get off of the desktop install disk) afterwards, though. Not really clear if that will still be option on i386, that is do a net install and then install ubuntu-desktop. It sounds to me like they are just retiring the installer images for i386 and not the desktop related packages, so if you really need it then you can go this route. I bet it won't be well tested/supported though.
On a related note, Unity is getting the axe and 17.10 will ship GNOME as the default DE.
