Because the legal options are garbage.

The pirates provide a better service with more content for cheaper than the legal options; and pirating yourself takes effort as well as cost (hardware, trackers, usenet, etc).

Some people are happy to just pay for decent service; others like to learn about the process, then setup and run their own servers.

To each their own.

Tdarr: (Automatic transcoding of media, can help save you a lot of disk space)

That's a new one to me, I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

Been doing conversions via Emby, but it's not a very powerful tool for that.

Storage is expensive :/

That's already almost 36tb, after conversion to HEVC which compressed it ~40%

I wonder how that compares to my own collection...

I haven't found a source for the size of Netflix/Amazon/Hulus libraries; but I haven't looked all that hard either.

Ticketmaster will not respond to request to buy data from us.

No shit. Paying a ransom like this is pointless. You've already lost the data, and payment does nothing to guarantee it's not copied/released afterwards anyway.

Move on and put your focus on preventing it happening again.

Obligatory fuck ticketmaster, break up that monopoly already.

I still want Futurama style human transport tubes

It would certainly make jamming of guided weapons quite difficult; missiles, drones, UAVs, etc.

The middle-man provides plausible deniability in this case. PornHub can genuinely say they don't see connections from age-verification states atm. That stops being true if they host the VPN, making them aware of actual client locations.

It will definitely require corrections from GPS or other systems, but if made sufficiently accurate; it could be months or even years before the accumulated errors necessitate a correction.

What seems more concerning to me is a system like this would require 100% up time between outside corrections.

A gps receiver can acquire its position from a completely powered off state. Inertial guidence though, needs to be told its current position; then it can keep track of where it goes from there. If there's any hiccup with power, you've completely lost your location fix and can't reacquire it alone.

Put the two together though, and the inertial guidence can accurately fill in the gaps between gps service while also getting regular updates/corrections when you do have that signal available.

'connection refused'

But... I wanted to party... With some lemons...

I'm not talking about off road.

The year before last; the snow plows in my city literally didn't bother. They were out on the roads once for the whole year, leaving the roads covered in several feet of snow for weeks. People were stranded, there were dozens of accidents (largely from ice buildup), and the contractor crew that was supposed to plow+sand/salt was fired and fined massively.
