Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ Findmysec • 3 days ago • 98%

Regular users in Sweden are in danger because a corporation needs to fill their pockets. Studios are suing your ISPs to get to you. Use I2P. It will hide your IP address (among the many things it can do), afford you more privacy and allow you to torrent freely, even without a VPN/seedbox. The catch? You'll have to add the I2P trackers to your torrent. I believe I2P is the way forward for piracy and I look forward to it getting bigger than it already is.

A lot many individuals run TOR exit nodes, but I never hear about people running their own I2P outproxies. Is it really hard to host, or is there some other reason? I thought that if you could run a TOR exit node I'd think you'd be just fine running an I2P outproxy. Running more outproxies will help in bridging torrents from the clearnet to I2P, which would be a very good move considering the crackdowns on torrents right now. Companies even want to involve civilians into their lawsuits in Sweden now, making the need for privacy/anonymity even more important when torrenting, which I2P provides.

Every now and then I'll get an email from someone higher up in Wikipedia asking for a donation. I don't really mind a tenner but I don't know if it pads the pockets of corporate management or actual contributors. Also, are they really short of money or is this tugging at emotional strings a play at something else? I wish Wikipedia survives but there's a lot of projects I need to donate to and I have a budget.

I've never known so many shutdowns inside 2 weeks as the last two have been. Even websites pirating manga were shut down. What happened? What's with this massive legal wave of shutdowns, and why now?

The title is really vague, so I'll try to clarify my intentions here: I am an ardent supporter of FOSS. It will be greatly beneficial for my life and especially my privacy to self-host such software. Yet, I cannot find much motivation to do so. However, when it comes to hosting software for public use, I can usually give my utmost concentration and dedication. This is not how I want my life to be. I want to be motivated for myself as well as for the community. And if that's not possible, I need to trick my brain into bringing me into that kind of zone for myself. What do I do? What would you do in this situation?

I see *so* many posts and people who run NGINX as their reverse proxy. Why though? There's HAProxy and Apache, with Caddy being a simpler option. If you're starting from scratch, why did you pick/are you picking NGINX over the others?

I've been looking to implement DoH 1. The first idea was to simply follow [this](https://www.isc.org/blogs/bind-implements-doh-2021/) - I do not understand the configuration fully but it looked fine. 2. Then, I decided to use a proxy/Load balancer in front of BIND to deal with HTTPS. However, I came across [PROXYv2](https://www.isc.org/blogs/proxyv2-2024-02/) (which is not even mentioned in the docs, just in a blog post) and the likes of DNSdist. My questions: 1. I can't find a detailed explanation of what I need to do about PROXYv2 - does my Reverse-proxy absolutely need to have it to be able to communicate with my DNS server? 2. Why can't I just have any reverse-proxy that can handle HTTPS and put it in front of my DNS resolver? Does my proxy need to have a specific protocol to be able to talk DNS queries? I am still confused, would really appreciate some help :)

Hi everyone, I've started pushing backups of media important to me (family pictures, video etc) to backblaze with client-side encryption. However, are they a reliable storage provider? I can't help but compare them to something like Amazon who likely has a better chance of maintaining my files but they are so expensive that I don't even bother. What do you think? Yes, I've heard of 3-2-1, however for now I only have backblaze and a local backup. I'm trying not to spend too much on this. Thanks!
