Why does Proton VPN block P2P transfer (BitTorrent) on their free plan? (Is it because it can be misused unlimitedly?)

Not cool; Can't use it even if I wanted to do some legitimate download over BitTorrent

That stupid app keeps prompting me that P2P connections have been blocked from loading. Please upgrade to a paid plan.

#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

It's worse than any #IRC, #Mumble or even the old #TeamSpeak & #Skype for that matter.
It combines the disadvantages of #Forum, #paywalled #documentation, #chat and #voicechat with 0 redeeming qualities (unlike #Zulip & Mumble & #XMPP+#OMEMO) it's just an #InformationBlackhole!

I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.

And I'd rather subscribe to the #LKML and see my inbox getting hosed than using any shitty #SaaS!

Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.

I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools

Public Chat? IRC!
Group Voicechat? Mumble.
#Documentation? #mkDocs-material.
1:1 Chats? XMPP+OMEMO.
E2EE Group Chats? #deltaChat.
E2EE Calls? #WebCall.
Filehosting? #IPFS, #BitTorrent, oshi.at, etc. ...
…

Check @alternativeto and @european_alternatives for options.

I'm staying at a household where they play for Disney+. But we can't watch the MCU Spiderman movies, because some other company has the rights to movie adaptions of the character. So we're now expected to pay for 2 different streaming services to binge the MCU in order?

Best argument for #BitTorrent ever.

Update. "#SciOp is part of Safeguarding Research & Culture (#SRC). The bits must flow: let us resurrect the ancient art of #Bittorrent to ensure that our cultural, intellectual and scientific heritage exists in multiple copies, in multiple places, and that no single entity or group of entities can make it all disappear."

are there any bittorrent clients that support bep-052 and offer a cli?

@GrapheneOS here's a wild idea that is almost certainly not practical... #BitTorrent?

Is digital piracy ethically justifiable?

Tribler v8.1.2
=> https://www.tribler.org

Towards making Bittorrent anonymous and impossible to shut down.

We use our own dedicated Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading. We implemented and enhanced the Tor protocol specifications plus merged them with Bittorrent streaming.
More info: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki
Tribler includes our own Tor-like onion routing network with hidden services based seeding and end-to-end encryption, detailed specs: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki/Anonymous-Downloading-and-Streaming-specifications

The aim of Tribler is giving anonymous access to online (streaming) videos. We are trying to make privacy, strong cryptography and authentication the Internet norm.

Tribler currently offers a Youtube-style service. For instance, Bittorrent-compatible streaming, fast search, thumbnail previews and comments. For the past 11 years we have been building a very robust Peer-to-Peer system. Today Tribler is robust: "the only way to take Tribler down is to take The Internet down" (but a single software bug could end everything).

Changelog:

#p2p #bittorrent

I was curious about ZeroNet again today. ZeroNet was a #P2P web project from the 2010s along similar lines to I2P (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P) and #Tor hidden services. The idea of hosting dynamic webpages in a completely P2P fashion, like torrents, remains super cool and appealing to me. In fact, at one point the #BitTorrent company had a similar proposal (https://www.bittorrent.com/blog/2014/12/10/project-maelstrom-the-internet-we-build-next/).

The ZeroNet website (https://zeronet.io/) is still up, but the project hasn't been updated in five years as per the GitHub repo (https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet). Someone was maintaining a fork at some point, and at other times I heard that ZeroNet was (now?) insecure, although I know no details. Certainly anything P2P isn't anonymous by default.

I found this question (https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/issues/2749) about the creator of ZeroNet. Disturbingly, this article (https://www.newsbtc.com/news/sam-maloney-creator-of-morphis-and-dpush-shot-dead-by-london-police/) about a different developer killed by the police under unusual circumstances was shared.

My impression was that ZeroNet actually worked (works?) to some extent. Why aren't projects like this being funded? We need censorship-resistant ways of communicating online, after all.
