Most of the time it is due to Cross-seeding and additional or manipulated files.

I.e. the 99% torrent contains an additional file like an nfo or srt that was not in the original upload on a different site. People cross-seeding the original torrent don’t have that file, so you can only get 99% from them. And if the uploader of the torrent with the additional file stops seeding, there’s no one you can get it from.

Or if it is stuck at 99% without additional files, it’s possible that the file that was uploaded was manipulated. Stripped UID or other metadata that was changed. So there will be a mismatching piece that you can’t get from the cross-seeders. And again, if the uploader stops seeding the manipulated file, you can only get 99% from the cross-seeders.

There’s a different definition of rape depending on the country you are from.

If you are from the US (on a federal level) the legal term based on the description in the article seems to be sexual assault.

No idea where you get the additional details from on which you seem to base your opinion of this case. Maybe I‘ve missed them in the article. But if you have additional sources, please let me know.

I can route selected devices/groups/VLANs through the client. That's how I'm using it with my phone. Phone connects to wireguard server. Wireguard server IP is in the router's VPN client list for outbound traffic.

➡️ local access + VPN for web

on How do you use VPN? · c/selfhosted · 1 pts · 152d

I‘m using two different setups:

Phone with wireguard app:

  • VPN client installed on my router
  • WireGuard server Running on Router
  • Phone connects to the routers wireguard server and from there my phone is routed through the VPN client for web traffic (but I’m not using OpenWRT so you have to check if this is possible for you)

Laptop with wireguard app and VPN installed as browser extension:

  • WireGuard app is configured to only route traffic to my local subnets through the wireguard VPN.
  • Web browser is encrypted through the VPN extension.

Really depends on what you need. For me this setup fits my bill.

But there’s also tailscale (which you can also selfhost: headscale)

Additionally you could also set up your own independent wireguard server to get more granular control for routing and firewalling. But you would need a device that’s running 24/7 (same for headscale). A raspberry pi would probably be enough for that.

Have you already tried implementing an identity provider like Authentik, so you can add OIDC and ldap for all your services, while you are the only one that’s using them? 🤔

I’ve been to a lot of countries that had exceptions for bikes. But most of the time there is a special sign that allows them to enter a one way street from the other side.

Edit: Looked up one I saw in Germany:

Left sign: „bikes free“

Right sign: „One way street“ and „bike traffic in both directions“

Half true.

This post is about VPN. And Proton VPN is still safe.

Your info/news is on Proton Mail. In this case Proton was legally obliged (Swiss law) to give out identifying data for the owner of a known email address. The owner used a credit card and they had to give up the credit card info. The content and communications inside their email account is still private and was not given out. If they had used cash or crypto for paying, proton might have had no information to give out to the authorities. And again, they were obliged by law.
