That doesn’t include images. Images are stored on wikimedia commons, which is about 600 TB.

Lets you block a whole instance including users.

I proudly still use a super specialised old school online forum and it works great for those purposes.

Maybe your VPN or internet doesn’t have port forwarding? That severely limits seeding potential.

I used to think seeding well was impossible, no matter how many files you seed the ratio just doesn’t get better. Then I tried a port forwarding enabled VPN and realised that was my issue.

I agree it is really annoying (the duplication issue). Have devs thought of a solution?. You can manually sort of merge by adding multiple ISBN’s together but it isn’t a proper workaround.

Would be better to have multiple instances of the same book possibly, but the reviews get merged?

I’m already taken, sorry Nicole.

If that were true in general, wikipedia would not bother blocking IPs.

IP address is often enough to link data to a profile for data brokers. And Lemmy has so much valuable data, not only in posts or comments, but upvotes and downvotes etc. This could be someone making bank of selling data.

[Though other people investigating the url seem to be pretty sure the images don’t have a per user url, so this theory probably doesn’t hold]

I’ve recieved about 8 messages over the past few months.

Banger instance btw

hahhaahh.

Interesting. Thanks for the background.

oh never seen feddit.nu instance before? What region is it for?

I think pixelfed communities would be a big boon to non-computer science/engineering type hobby communities. Which is a place in which lemmy majorly lacks. So good news imo.

From what I can tell, the culture on pixelfed is more chill, whimsical, artsy.

While lemmy is more technical, politicsy, confrontational etc?

I haven’t been much on PixelFed since the massive explosion in users though.

Same. To be fair, 1337x and TPB work fine, but idk why I just really liked TGX

The beauty of torrents is it’s completely free to use (+ decentralisation rocks). Unfortunately usenet doesn’t have that.

The architecture is very different.

I don’t know if it was originally a fork, but if it was, you’d hardly realise comparing the code.
