The article doesn’t talk much at all about all the interesting technical details.
The press release talks about trouble with payment providers… So I suppose they accepted credit card payment.
Maybe the court documents are publicly available if anyone is willing to dig them up in order to find out… I don’t think I’m that interested. If it’s a good story, maybe someone will do a documentery or podcast episode at some point. Would probably do for a “true crime” show.
Give me like $7,500 and I provide enough harddisks for 183,200 episodes. I’m not sure what to calculate for traffic, though.
And I mean it’s a bit unfortunate that you have to commit money laundering and/or tax fraud alongside this “business model”. It’s just not that easy to say: Hey, I would like to pay taxes on this pile of money and I don’t want to say where I got it from, it’s definitely mine, though.
Plug it into a computer and see what the computer says.
I usually use Linux for that because it offers good error messages and I know the tools. But other operating systems might help, too.
And if you start writing to the card or executing recovery tools, make a backup / image first.
If the files are very important, maybe don’t tamper with it and ask for help. Like a repair shop, your local Linux community or any trustworthy computer expert friend.
The biggest enemy is probably encryption, if it’s encrypted. The files are definitely still there if you just ripped it out. In the old days you could just run a recovery program and get everything back.
Correct answer. And this is going to help way more than adding a few trackers. Also consider doing the port-forward in your router, if you’re behind a NAT and it doesn’t do it automatically. That makes even more peers available.
FYI: There’s also AnLinux, Linux Deploy, Termux, tainer, UserLAnd, …
Some of them aren’t maintained anymore. And they don’t necessarily have hardware-acceleration. But don’t all require root and system patches.
Sure. I buy tickets to their concerts, have bought CDs, movies, buy their game in the next Steam sale or on Humblebundle, rarely Patreon or support indie things on Ko-fi or whatever. I buy a novel if I enjoyed the first chapter(s) and want it on paper. Or go to the library. I just can’t afford all the music and Spotify isn’t paying the artists properly either. And I don’t want a DVD collection, so for TV series they don’t get money from me. Except for what the one streaming service I pay for forwards to them.
But reading that text like they tell you to do, is kind of an exercise in futility if you choose topic two. (the benefits of artificial satellites in telecommunications) I’d be angry at that point.
I don’t think art works if you just do it for a reason like encourage others to post more. Do it for yourself. I think that works better.
Btw: Might be that you’re behind a NAT (router) and that’s why bittorrent doesn’t connect. You’d need to figure out which port your torrent client is configured to listen on and then do “port forwarding” of that port to your machine in the router you got from your ISP. Or use something like UPnP that does this automatically.
Not sure if that applies in your case and it’s unsolicited advice… But a fairly common issue with bittorrent.
Yeah they have. But don’t they go on to tell in several episodes of all of the shows, how someones mom makes/made the best X/Y out of real ingredients and how much better that tastes than replicated food? And they eat on some planets with other people or on vacation… ?! Or someone worked in a restaurant?
And they’re not even that woke. Afaik they still ocasionally eat animals in the 24th century. (Unless they’re Vulcan.) Watch The Orville if you want some proper progressive shit 😆
Look at the USA, UK or countries like China. I think they’re all ahead if us. Leading in different fields. A skewed balance between capitalism and citizens rights, surveillance in general, and a dystopian surveillance state.
Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. The Github issue also is very helpful. Seems that’s exactly my answer to “Why do I need a fourth store in addition to F-Droid, AuroraStore and Obtanium” 😉
Have a nice day, thanks for the STT keyboard! I didn’t really engage in the discussion because I’m exactly in the same situation as other people here. I already have the FUTO one and Sayboard… But eventually I’d like to replace FUTO software with free software alternatives. I don’t like their licensing. So this is very welcome.
Sure. There isn’t any paragraph on how it compares to other appstores or why the author started the project in the first place despite several other stores being available.
So I’m looking for the selling point. (Aside from your App being available there.)
Can someone enlighten me oabout the specifics of the accrescent.app appstore?
I guess it’s somewhat like Obtanium in that it fetches releases packed by the original developers, just plus an index, metadata and signing, thus more convenient and secure? I guess it’s open-source and everything? What are the unique benefits?
Probably [email protected]
Go to lemmy.world and have a look at the Sidebar. That’s where instances publish info like that. And they list several methods to contact them, there.
Are you referring to me or BigFig? I’m neither a mile (I’m European, so we use the metric system), nor a mole. If you make me choose an animal, I’d like to be an alpaca. And I’d be willing to do a captcha to prove to you that I’m not a bot.
Thanks for spreading the word. We get these complaints every few weeks. More people need to be educated and move away from these instances to make the Threadiverse a better place.
Thanks for enlighting me. I have to fact check this, but occasionally I also consume what they tell in random business coaching without questioning it.
Edit: Fact checked. And learned something today. Thx.
There are some blog posts on annas-blog.org from 2022, talking about IPFS.
