NSFW does not equal exclusively porn.
I’m not looking to block out gore or triggering topics, particularly news stories such as what’s come out of Portland Minnesota lately. Hell some of my own posts are NSFW, but I’ve never posted porn.
Disabling/blocking all NSFW entirely is not an acceptable solution when it’s only porn I’m trying to not be flooded with.
At its peak, before instance blocking was a thing: 4/5 posts under the ‘All’ feed were porn. I posted a picture quite a while back (I’m not gonna go dig it out, but it’s in my comment history), from before we could block an instance, with just a massive list of communities in my block list almost entirely from lemmynsfw. It was way over the top.
Now I can just block an instance or community that dedicates itself to porn and all is well. I still don’t think that content belongs on a platform like this. If people want porn, they can go to the MANY sites that serve porn; it shouldn’t be combined with your daily scrolling through news, current events, and funny cat videos*. But we have tools to work around it; so, moving on.
* heavily paraphrasing for general everyday content that an average person may share with friends/family.
Edit: I have no idea why I said Portland… I meant Minnesota, referring to Renee Good and Alex Pretti.


I still have hundreds of communities from lemmynsfw in my blocklist from before instance based blocking was implemented. Pretty sure lemmynsfw is 95% responsible for that feature needing to be implemented.


Anecdotal; but I spent 5ish years pirating via torrents from my home in Canada. Never once used a VPN and received an emailed copyright notice forwarded through my ISP about once every 3-5 days.
They never went further than that. The ISP isn’t permitted to give out my personal contact info short of a court order, and the copyright holder(s) can’t be bothered to pursue it further to get that info.
As long as you never reply to the notice; all they have is an IP, a time stamp, and a copy of the letter they sent to the ISP. They don’t know who I am to drag me to court; so first they’d have to sue the ISP for that info. Even then, tieing one specific individual to an entire IPs traffic is next to impossible. Was it the IPs subscriber? Another person in the household? A guest? Someone with unauthorised access? Too many variables/possibilities to prove ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ in a court of law.
Now a days however I use usenet. $12/year for an indexer, and ~$5/month for access to a usenet provider/server. Fast reliable downloads that always complete within 5min. No more waiting on slow or seedless torrents that potentially take days before giving up and trying another. This is all done though an ssl connection to a private server, so there’s nothing to snoop/get reported for.


If you have a static IP address, you can just use A records for each subdomain you want to use and not really worry about it.
If you do not have a static IP address, you may want to use one single A record, usually your base domain (example.com), then CNAME records for each of your subdomains.
A CNAME record is used to point one name at another name, in this case your base domain. This way, when your IP address changes, you only have to change the one A record and all the CNAME records will point at that new IP as well.
Example:
A example.com 1.2.3.4
CNAME sub1.example.com example.com
CNAME sub2.example.com example.com
You’d then use a tool like ACME.sh to automatically update that single A record when your IP changes.


I’ve had a few tv/stereos in the past that had a half mute as well. Press mute the first time and it cuts the volume in half, second press mutes completely, then third press restores full volume.


Back in my day, (shakes cane), Teamspeak and Ventrillo were the big voice chat platforms/tools. Both have text chat and channels/rooms; but their focus is voice chat for gaming.


You could say the same about every password entry field; but that’s why there are local/alternative options here.


For those worried about inputting a password into a tool like this, they’ve actually done a great job keeping your pass secure.
Passwords entered on this site do not get transmitted to the server. Instead, they are hashed, then only the first half of the hash is sent to the server. The server replies with a list of every password hash they’ve found in leaks that match the partial hash you sent them. Your computer then looks through the list and tells you if the password you entered (which was kept on your pc, not transmitted) exists in that list.
From Haveibeenpwneds perspective; they sent you a big list of potential matches, but don’t know which one if any actually matches your password, because they were never given the full hash, let alone the raw password.
There’s even an open-source script you can run that does this within a console instead of a browser. Or, you can download their whole password DB via their github tools, then check it entirely offline.


Well that answers that question. Thanks :)

Most of us run systems for friends, family, even a few coworkers; but there are those out there that sell access to their systems to anyone willing to pay. This is explicitly forbidden by the TOS of Plex/Emby, and I’m pretty sure Jellyfin as well (haven’t checked that one), but it still happens.
There’s even tools like Ombi to automatically manage requests from users passing them to Radarr/Sonarr to be retrieved.


Here’s a slowed and stabilized version from the view of the red coat lady.
The ICE agent in brown coat + black hat/mask draws and fires just after grey jacket on the opposite side removes Alexs gun from his waistband at the small of his back.


The phrasing in your previous comment comes across very rude to someone that’s just trying to provide a solution for you. There’s better ways to ask for clarification.
I apologize if hostility was not your intention; but, food for thought.


Yup, and if you opened the webpage within a VM, you could easily screenshot it without the DRM blacking it out for you.
You’re in a piracy community asking for tips on pirating content. If you’re going to be an asshole when they’re given to you; you’re welcome to fuck off somewhere else.


A lot of DRMed content that prevents screen recording can be played within a VM, with the host recording the display output window.
Or so I’ve heard…


Carrying your documents around seems like a great way to have them stolen from you during your ‘arrest’. You’d be lucky to see them again.
Perhaps there can be a place for it, I just mean it should not be an automatically and consistently part of peoples feeds. Creators should have a place for it that’s easy to find/access for those that want/seek it. Just don’t shove it in people’s faces without their explicit prior consent.
I don’t think the general/greater population of lemmy came here to find porn…
