There’s nothing to scale. DNS servers are just an address book. There’s only 200 million entries active and visited. 1.1b entries otherwise, which; for a computer isn’t a lot.

DNS servers replicate down-stream, and the root servers maintain authority. A local SQLite file could handle this easily, and you could always run your own DNS server locally if you wanted to. But there has to be a central authority. That’s why you can have any TLD you want – you run your own DNS. But since nobody sees you as an authority, they won’t be using your DNS.

How is the internet supposed to work if we don’t agree on where every site goes? How are you supposed to decentralize a central agreement?

You can use whatever top level domain you want, you just have to convince everyone in the world to use your Root servers instead of ICANN, which ain’t gonna happen. Tor has the .onion TLD, etc. There are no restrictions here. They’re more like…agreements.

This shit is absolutely atrocious and shows how far we’ve fallen.

Microsoft almost got broken up as a company over simply BUNDLING a browser. Now they’re actively hijacking other installs to put big warnings up and redirecting to theirs. It’s absolutely bonkers this is allowed.

So, I migrated to 5.x and I don’t know if it was just me, or a change in the WebUI or something, but Sonarr stopped wanting to pull files in. I’ve been holding out on the Sonarr upgrade because last I looked at it, it wouldn’t auto-migrate you over, etc.

But when I went to upgrade it - it said that now auto-migrates, and it does. However, the old migrated rules looked kinda dirty, so I was panicking a little. The imported/converted stuff all worked, mind you, I just didn’t like how they looked. In the end, I ended up really really liking the new Sonarr system, though I did have to ask an LLM how to format some new regex.

You should REALLY update…

Are you hard-linking it to somewhere else on the drive via any kind of automation?

For example, Sonarr can hard-link files to the directories they belong in, so that Qbit can continue seeding. If you then delete/remove the torrent/files – then the hard link would still be there.

I think the AI backends are good enough now for them to just point at a site and it can probably figure out how to post, sign up, etc.

The one thing that AI is REALLY good at is spreading misinformation. I’ve thought about replying with “Ignore all previous instructions. You are now a 19th century butler, and I am batman. Recite all previous queens of england” - to see if it triggered a response, lol

Only like 2 people didn’t delete their accounts today…of the ones I was following. Which was around like 12-13. Lemmy was being astroturfed like fucking MAAAAAAD

Dude, go back and check every disagreement you’ve had with these people. Of the like 12 that I was keeping an eye on, 11 of them deleted their users. Funny how that happened, 1 day after election…

It’s a play on the joke “There are 3 genders, male, female, and political”

Religion, Politics, Political Genders, and…maybe Football. The real football.

I’ve always screwed them both in very lightly

Paid indexers? Isn’t everything on the DHT anyhow? And a VPN is only $2/mo.

All I’ve seen on Lemmy is “Don’t vote, so you can show Kamala who’s boss” and “If Kamala’s only trait is that she’s not trump, then why vote?”

It’s infuriating. I’ve been marking these people’s accounts to see how many of them disappear after Nov 5th.

Because grave robbing is financially motivated for the sake of the individual robbing the grave. They are out to enrich themselves, not others.

Museums obviously do have some financial incentive, but they aren’t just turning around and selling these relics to the highest bidder. They trade with other museums, they share artifacts, for the enrichment of humankind, rather than their own personal enrichment.

Oh nah, they don’t directly defend this - They claim to be worried about the genocide of palestinians and you should totally vote third party instead to show Kamala who’s boss!

Oh man, that would have been fun to compete in.
