There's an ISP level filter against pornography and North Korea related materials, but VPN uses are tolerated in South Korea as far as I'm concerned.

No South Korea nodes in Mullvad's server list. Perhaps other providers do? I don't think SK is a popular destination for exit nodes since it has a strong censorship against pornography among others.

Same happened with people using the Cloud To Butt extension which replaced every 'cloud' with 'butt' even for codes. Hilarity ensued.

Not sure if shadowbanning can work here. Wasting each instance's limited pool of resources is not what we want to encourage.

Problem is how to read the disk, especially after generations. Will they retain the knowledge to build and operate a device for this?

Many films and tv programs survive only thanks to a total stranger keeping their own copy. For a long term survival of any media it has to be copied and distributed far and wide.

No joke. A decent gaming pc can be built around that price and be used for so much more. Even cheaper if you hunt for used parts.

My man, have you ever worked in tech support? I admire your optimism.

I'm worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.

Didn't they learn that taking away what people grew up with for more than two decades already will result in outraged customers? (Windows 8 - start menu removed and replaced by start screen)

Scummy practices that should be outlawed, like retail stores raising prices just before a big sale so they can slap "80% off!" on their stuff.

I remember the days of google being a cool startup that had just made news releasing gmail with a whopping 1GB of storage making everyone go crazy for the invites. It's a strange feeling.
