Sounds like a great way to get fired from a job. Mirror as much as you can from him while he still has it up, but also probably limit it so that the bandwidth doesn’t raise any alarms.

With P2P file sharing, your client is sharing the files with random people on the internet and you’re identified by your IP address (or a VPN IP address / seedbox IP address / etc). MPAA hires companies to check for popular content and log the IP address, time, and content shared, and then sends that to the ISP. The risk and issue is sharing content with anyone randomly, since that is how your ISP is informed of the activity.

With media servers, unless you’re somehow sharing publicly, it’s safe to assume your members aren’t going to report you to your ISP. I guess in theory the ISP could see high upload bandwidth and investigate, but more likely than not, if there are limits, automated systems will just throttle the bandwidth, and no deep packet inspection or other forensics is performed.

Good on you, but I would never pirate Ready Player One, let alone pay $0.50 for it.

if you download a file (not via BitTorrent), your downloaded file will have the same hash as the person who shared it with you, but that doesn’t mean you were the sender.

Check if they’re on ICE List and if not, get proof and if they are ICE, get them on here.

Maybe they have a fancy bidet with a blower? Or they horded toilet paper during COVID and are working through the surplus? You do pretty much have to dry somehow, but the amount of TP needed to dry a wet asshole is significantly less than cleaning a shitty asshole.

I heard an anecdote that one of the reasons older structures last longer than newer buildings was until the days of using Log Tables, engineers had to round up to the nearest values to match the values in the log table when calculating complex forces, and this rounding compounded when multiplied against other rounded values. Once computers were being used with design, you could calculate the forces exactly to minimize material costs.

It depends if you’re popular or not. People might copy your style and purchase the fast fashion directly because of you, even if you got it second hand. Say for example you’re Taylor Swift, and you literally steal the fast fashion cloths directly from the factory to wear in public. You are still indirectly financially enabling child labor and probably boosting the business.

This was United, wasn’t it?

They’re probably not even building to industry standards and not properly grounding their equipment, so if you were to visit the “datacenter” you’d be literally shocked.

Shhhh, the pitchforks are out, who needs evidence. In all reality, if you were to be wiretapped, an Alexa wouldn’t be the best option. Most people already have an internet connected microphone they carry around with them everywhere. And it has multiple cameras too, which are regularly brought into the bathroom with them.

OMG, your real name isn’t really Ovo647??

For broadcast television, especially over the air, there’s no additional load on the provider side for broadcasting to 1 or 1 million people. The TV consumers never have to communicate back to the broadcaster, and this is very efficient from a bandwidth perspective. It’s somewhat similar for cable in most provider situations, the video is broadcast over a wire rather than over the air.

With streaming, each stream has to negotiate with a server to access the stream and the server serves the content to that consumer. This scales as there are more consumers, and the load on the provider increases. Caching layers and CDNs exist to distribute this load, and that is expensive. This is why streaming providers have a “Are you still watching” prompt if they think you’ve stopped watching, since it costs lots to serve the content.

Lots of people have a crazy MAGA parent / sibling / cousin, etc they vehemently disagree with and wish would realize their relative is aligned with the baddies. Judging and targeting innocent people for the actions of someone else is pretty disgusting, even if it would show ICE officers the damage they’re causing in America.

The raw comment is this:

[Digg.com](digg.com) didn't load for me, good start 😅

It’s missing the https:// protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as

[Digg.com](https://digg.com/) and then it’ll look like: Digg.com

huh, really?? this post and the original is showing in !privacy@lemmy.ml for me, and going there, I see two posts with the same link:

I don’t see this post in !privacy@lemmy.world at all, even when checking on lemmy.world directly. I don’t think this is a federation issue.

I’ve never seen any interview as invasive as this, but i think simple take home assignments are useful to weed out people who don’t have basic skills for the role, can’t read instructions clearly, and/or don’t care enough for the role. It avoids me spending 30 minutes to an hour interviewing them to just reject them.

The roles i interview for are mid level devops based, and we’ve found that the best way to do this is to provide the candidate a simple git repo with 2 branches, which can’t be merged due to a merge conflict of two text files; no coding required. Just asking the candidate to resolve the merge conflict and write a README with the steps taken is enough to have more than half of the candidates unable to complete the task. If we interviewed all those candidates first, and then had to reject them, it would probably be 1 full working day per month in aggregate that would be utterly wasted.

Am I missing something but this isn’t cross posted from another community, right? the original post was in this community, !privacy@lemmy.ml, so why repost if it’s less than 12 hours later in the same community?

It should also be binding that if you declare that your assets are worth a certain value, the government has the option to buy the asset at that value, to avoid people under representing their net worth for unrealized gains.

If they have an ad read in the video, like a creator saying the video is sponsored by XYZ Corp, those could also be paid based on views of the video (in addition to the ad impressions by YouTube). Those ads are handled externally from YouTube’s ad platform, but they do rely on YouTube analytics and views being reported as legitimate.
