I would like to add that IPFS pretty much doesn't run on spinning rust or slow CPUs. A PI or other low end box can easily run torrents with an external harddrive. IPFS can't download large files at a reasonable speed on slow hardw

In practice libgen uses torrents. The available seed nodes for IPFS are... few. This is largely due to the software/protocol being pretty bad compared to battle tested torrents.

Running IPFS at scale is horrible. Try to download a few dozen TBs of small files. Its garbage collection is rubbish (ended up nuking the ZFS dataset every couple of days instead), it is very CPU and IOPS hungry, and it has bad network thro

You can already deduct many of these and should be. Talk to an accountant but deduction is usually ratio of usage for work vs personal. Also, keep your personal and work expenses very separate in case there is ever an audit.

My company is largely remote at this point and is moving away from CA for cost/tax reasons. For some portion of companies this is just one more reason to move headquarters. That being said, I live in a pretty population dense area and

Yea, favorite place I found OpenWRT was in DJI phantom 2 Wi-Fi Extender module. Managed to SSH into it. Hardware was not particularly interesting just cool to see OpenWRT in a widely purchased product.

Yes and No. They used to be much harder to solve but modern AI has made them much easier to solve in the last couple of years. Profitability. That is what it comes down to. The price of solving these have plummeted in last couple of years.

The bots would just slow down then. Their time is ~free. reCAPTCHA is one of the better captcha because they do a decent amount of browser fingerprinting and their captcha are interactive. Still there are services for solving them. Fun thin

Dam, really liked these guys but this makes it about useless for torrent seeding. I wish they would have considered alternatives like only allowing port forwarding for some of their IPs. I don't care about IP reputation.

Home Assistant would be a lot more convincing if every upgrade did not completely break my install. Flashed this on ESP I had laying around and did NOT have to upgrade HA (which would have made me not try the project).
