I love that murderers and rapists have more privacy than pirates in most of the world.

Glass0448,

Well you see, those victims are just untouchables, whereas Pirates attack the property of the rich…

The proposal is very clear about this exclusion. Since domain name registrars and registries don’t host any content, they fall outside its scope.

Actually it is already possible to do this, there are even tools made specifically for doing so.

Plus if the registrar also provides DNS services, that can be used to “host” content (or links to it) as well.

Sounds like they want to crack down on seedboxes.

It’s actually rather stunning to see just how hard they’re attacking privacy in these final months of the disastrous dumpster fire that is the Biden administration. This is exactly why I believe centralized cloud and CDN infrastructure is massively dangerous.

Make the web decentralized again.

Glass0448,

I haven’t heard the alternative candidates talk about how they’ll fight for our privacy.

ChallengeApathy,

I didn’t mention the others. It’s simply that this current “administration” has been a disaster in literally every way so it’s not surprising they’re trying to end our constitutional rights.

Dkarma,

Could be worse.

Hot on the heels of piracy spiking when streaming media libraries were being pared down. This reads like a shot against seedboxes.

Every time I read news like this I‘m glad I moved to my own cloud.

How did you do it, what are you using and how do you have it configured? Also interested in the costs.

haui_lemmy,

Check out my setup if you want.

Costs depend on a lot of factors. If you are technically adept you might be able to get away with 20 bucks a month for the whole setup but most folks wouldn’t imo. I also have some old hardware I was able to use and upgraded it. Initial invest for a homeserver varies greatly depending on who you know.

If you want to know more please ask. You can also hit me up on matrix. Link in bio.

Swell, thank you.

archer,

I did a similar setup for my own cloud on several Raspberry Pis (one master and two backup devices). The backups are placed offsite and sync the entire content of the master device. The next step I want to try now is running a Proxmox cluster (on x86) that now only syncs contents but also provides identical copies in a high availability setup (like a “real” cloud would).

haui_lemmy,

Thats actually not a bad idea. Long term selfhosted cloud solutions will have to compete on availability/redundancy. You might want to help the NC folks to implement that on their docker setup or something?

That’ll only ever pass of the big cloud vendors allow it. No way that Azure/AWS/Google wouldn’t object if a sizable portion of their user base get upset and threaten to leave. How much of that user base argues is unknown though.

possiblylinux127,

The money makers for large clouds are companies. They won’t care about this legislation

ShellMonkey,
@ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com avatar

Generally yes, it would matter a lot how it was structured. Today you couldn’t call up AWS and ask for the details on a service owner out of privacy reasons and there are ways to register things by proxy. If they started stripping those kind of protections away though there’s bound to be some pushback.

What’s more disturbing than the filmmakers continually trying to get the ips, is that the courts keep entertaining the filmmakers. At what point does the legal system say enough?

Can’t wait for this company to be public and to be subject to the whims of shareholders chasing profit.

just_another_person, to privacy in Reddit Objects to Filmmakers' Renewed Attempt to Obtain User IP Addresses

Why? If they are handing them over to people, why shouldn’t the filmmaker be able to see them?

einat2346,

They only handed over 1 ip address. Because he/she explicitly said they were a customer, during a specific time period, and admitted to doing it.

Reddit is refusing to hand over any more because it’s all circumstantial. Example: I heard this ISP doesn’t give a fuck.

And Reddit has further evidence that handing over ip addresses will hurt the others because the film companies immediately started harassing the one ip address they did hand over, via a reverse lookup through t-mobile.

Yet another clue as to why Google search sucks as time goes on.

TIL lumendatabase.org is the best place to search for warez because all DMCA takedown notices are listed there 😂 Spread it far and wide, folks!

onlinepersona,

What do the kids say nowadays? 😄 I still add “warez” to my queries when “download X for free” doesn’t cut it.
