We need to collectively get the fuck out of Github.
Network effect is a hell of a ~~drug~~ inertia tho
It's absolutely inexcusable today. Folks just love tempting authoritarians. I can even list you sooo many sceners using discord unironically.
tbh i think its better to have piracy stuff on github and keep ban evading rather than places like codeberg. codeberg might actually fall apart if some copyright troll decides it's annoying...
Forgejo federation can't come quick enough
Should have been obvious it would happen eventually when Microslop bought it.
Simply seeding doesn't feel enough anymore... I'd like to contribute by running a magnet link aggregator, a public or private tracker or whatever. Anybody got any tips on how to do it without revealing PII? Even if I were to set things up on a VPS instead of my own hardware, it still would require me to pay with payment methods that give away my name and banking info, right?
Not always. You can pay by crypto at many places e.g. https://kyun.sh/
Sorry for spamming. Got any insight into what specs I could manage with? I'm thinking, if I only want to mirror and/or aggregate some magnet links sites, I could make do with the bare minimum, right? Like a single core, two gig RAM setup + however much space a webserver serving text files would need? Ah, but then there would be considerable lag because of scheduling whenever more than one person tried to navigate the site? 🤔
I think that should be enough. Maybe try two vCPUs if you wanna host other stuff too. But for just for some mirrors/aggregators, one vCPU is probably enough. I don't think you really need to worry about RAM or storage either.
Computers are plenty fast these days. I think you'll only start to see actual performance issues when handling hundreds of simultaneous users.
In any case, you shouldn't be spending over $10/month. You can get much lower. Take a look at this. I don't know how reliable or secure they are, but they're very cheap. I've used their VPS in the past, and it seemed pretty okay.
Edit: You can also do what I do for heavier stuff like Jellyfin and Immich, and simply use the VPS as a relay. The actual stuff runs on my home server, connects to the VPS via Wireguard, which then masks its IP.
Thanks for the tips about crypto and prepaid debit! We don't have prepaid debit in my country, unfortunately, but maybe I could by some XMR and pay with that. I'll read up on it! :)

Hope the keiyoushi extensions index gets moved to somewhere safe

You wanna beg @hitachi for radicle.nyaa.si?
Or are you going to host the i2p?
Nyaa will always work. Good luck taking that down bozos.
Don't tempt fate.
