I do volunteer work at a youth organization in the Netherlands. Recently smoking has become a lot more popular. Nearly all kids between 18 and 25 smoke here. There is also a very clear group effect. People start smoking because others are d

Thanks, I'll give them a call tomorrow. The website only lists a dutch phone number, which is convenient, I'm dutch as well.

Not yet. I also thought about reaching out to the embassy, but have not had the time for it yet.

My site has nothing to do with football though. And Allot seems to be running the DNS server that your ISP uses so they are directly responsible for the block.

I have my own dedicated IP range. And they specifically blocked my domain name, not the addresses. I don't know what the reason is. I have been trying to find out since the start of this year.

Creator of pixeldrain here. Italy has been doing this for a very long time. They never notified me of any such material being present on my site. I have a lot of measures in place to prevent the spread of CSAM. I have sent dozens of mails t

Creator of pixeldrain here. I have no idea why my site is blocked in Spain, but it's a long running issue. I actually never discovered who was responsible for the blockade, until I read this comment. I'm going to look into Allot a

It is technically possible, and there is a proposal to standardize it, but it has been in draft state for nearly 10 years https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0046.html

The "refuses ro remove it" part is not even necessary. I run a large cloud storage site, and like all cloud storage it sees some abuse. I have set up a few processes to detect and remove child abuse content. At some point the Poli

Energy consumption is directly correlated to heat production. The capacity of a datacenter is basically its capacity to keep servers cool. That's why datacenter capacity is measured in watts.

My monthly Hetzner bill is around €15000. I have been a customer at Hetzner for nearly 10 years. In the beginning I served traffic directly from Hetzner servers, but 4 years ago I switched to a caching system hosted at a different provider.

I have not used Hetzner to serve user facing traffic for many years. Users never connect directly to the storage servers, it's all going through custom caching nodes hosted by a different provider. That shields the hetzner servers from

I'm currently on vacation with bad cell reception. I tried calling but it didn't come through. Will try again when I get back. Hetzner does not host user facing servers for me. It's all behind caching nodes which are hosted b

I will, and when it's done it will definitely appear on this forum. But in the meantime I have to focus on cleaning this mess up.

Each server has a 1 Gbps connection. Some servers are storing more than average, some have 160 TB. That's already 2 weeks at full line rate. But I also need to keep serving user traffic. I can't take the site offline for a month f

So, I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but this announcement has extremely suspicious timing. You see, I host a cloud storage service on Hetzner. I have 12 PETABYTES of user data stored there. The data is spread over 120

Not sure, it's been a long time since I played. But I don't think you could completely lose it.

It seems the Pile is currently inaccessible. I would be willing to mirror it on Pixeldrain if I can get my hands on it.

The hardest part for me to accept is that there are so many people who just don't care. Not about the disasters, the climate refugees, the death toll, the extinction of thousands of species, respiratory diseases, etc. How can people ju

We're doomed. News like this drains my motivation to do anything at all, because it might all be for nothing anyway.

Oh, I actually fixed that issue a few months ago. I just haven't updated the site yet.

Piracy is a bit of a problem on pixeldrain, but I am fighting it. I have automated DMCA processing and am banning infringing users. I'm not able to find any court cases. I'm not sure where to look either though.
