If you’re talking about downloading the same file twice, you can also pause the torrent, put the finished file in the folder it would be downloading to (make sure it fully matches, same name) then right click the torrent and select “force recheck” to make your client see it has it already

Definitely useful for helping prevent content from being taken down. Torrents remain searchable through DHT but without seeds they’re just clogging search results

Oh.

Coding is “illegal” now, remember?

Still not getting your point. Is there a reason I should read about Redishell?

the only loss here is my time as a moderator :P

I value mine more than yours, sorry.

Do keep in mind that all this has a lot of “editor wars” vibes. But the conflict goes beyond Debian (e.g. including Rust in Linux kernel), and actual harmful discussions between Rust and C/C++ people is REAL, damaging our communities, and very much driven by generations/ network-effect. And this is just sad. It’s not a technical issue, and overcoming it seems nearly impossible at the moment.

Is this the reason you give me a “warning” later in your reply? I’m not getting the exact point clearly. This topic is “harmful,” but I don’t think you warned everyone else discussing it? So what is the actual warning? Are you telling me not to reply in threads on this topic in the future?

backdoors to me are a smaller concern in the software industry nowadays in comparison to the Redishell provided that you were unable to fully understand

Backdoors are a top priority concern in consumer electronics. I hope nobody lets themselves be mislead on that fact here.

I have no idea what “Redishell” is. I don’t think there was any point in this thread where I said anything about it, so what are you talking about with me being “unable to fully understand” it? Couldn’t you try telling me what it is and checking how much I understand before saying that? Am I totally forgetting something?

Whatever it is, it sounds like you’re implying it’s a security vulnerability that cannot be a backdoor, which I definitely don’t understand when I have no idea what it is.

Then I get half of a not-top-2 distro. And even the “giants” (Ubuntu / Fedora) are too small to develop full stability for their half-distros. Bad situation

systemd

Looks like it’s already time to move away from MX Linux. That sucks. Whole Linux ecosystem back to getting worse instead of better?

That all lines up with what I’ve heard. Thanks for the comprehensive reply 🤙

Nice, thank you

Not seeing a link here. Again, this platform has bans, making it an inappropriate place for you to rage bait me, and not a great place for me to read your replies after you’ve demonstrated your penchant for rage baiting.

Why?

So this link shows a comment for you, not just a blank space? https://piefed.social/post/1458050/comment/8784509#replies

Here’s a screenshot of what I’m seeing

Nope, not seeing it there

Weak gaslighting attempt but if you could show me where to find it documented I would appreciate that.

If anyone is confused, feel free to ask me for proof I’m telling the truth. If I posted it here, I’m pretty sure I’d be at risk of getting banned for evading the post removal (because the proof would also lead you back to the reply chain that was removed)

Edit - maybe this counts as proof without showing any removed content:

https://piefed.social/post/1458050/comment/8784509#replies

If you click the link, it’s blank, yet it has a “parent comment” link that leads to where I was replying

Edit 2 - tried to post an archive link but archive.org didn’t seem to work the way I thought?

Is the link I posted above showing what I described for other users?

Strange how your bad faith reply is still here, and with many upvotes, while my reply calling you out appears to be gone.

This is an example of how discussions like this are more appropriate for nostr, where there are no bans / post removals.

I already called you out for rage baiting me on a platform with bans.

Do you have a link to the nostr copy of this reply, or did you expect me to read all that here?

No. I’ll need engines because I have too many enemies, and not enough supporters.

Rowing (or even getting out to swim and pull) is safer if you have enough people, because we can’t safely make and power engines.

I want a boat bigger than I can row on my own, so I want a motor. But I wouldn’t want much if I wasn’t up against people that seem to use motorized stuff to derive an advantage while starting gunfights over food that isn’t rightly theirs.
