They already have something kinda like this. All public wifis require that you sign in with phone number and SMS-verification. It might not be as air-tight as whatever the article is about (like a chad I only read headlines), but in practice it seems pretty darn tight IMO.

Is immich in a usable state yet? I was looking for a self-hosted image service a while back, but eventually I just went with pigallery2 mostly due to the extremely simple file storage (just point to a folder and you're good to go), but I do miss being able to manage images/albums from the website and having a more mobile friendly version. I kind of avoided immich due to the repo saying it's under very active development (#scary).

Back in the day, before streaming was a thing, there were lots of people saying that they'd gladly pay for content if it was served to them in a convenient way. But why would you pay for a worse experience (at that time physical media, often at lower quality, and lower availability) when you can get a better one for free?

Along came streaming. Lo and behold, piracy decreased. Where the fuck do you even go to pirate music anymore? All the big sites have shut down. Video piracy is kinda still going strong, probably mostly due to bullshit concerning exclusives, but it's way less than it used to be.

Its their platform, they can do whatever they want with it I guess, but this trend is definitely gonna be a big boost to piracy.

It's fairly new I think. I ran into it first time a week or two ago when going into a test account I haven't used for a while.

Shame really, having at least two users is very useful when building bots. Testing user-specific interactions and such.

Isn't it a local filesystem though, so I can't expand the filesystem with other drives on my network?

That's very helpful because glusterfs and ceph are probably my top two candidates. Will probably try it out.

Anything happens anywhere in the world.

News isn't that he died, it's that he did so 100 years ago.

Could be difficult. Name is a bit stained.

well that's fucking dark (and as others have pointed out, misguided - won't solve a thing)
