Sure they don't log the IPs, but it is technically impossible to not know the IP when you're running a centralized service.

Good idea overall, unfortunately they still have your IP and phone number which means Europeans are still implicated

Is Libgen even an entity? What constitutes "Libgen"? I think there might be a way to make this claim invalid by a round-about shrug: "what's libgen"?

How do you run Graphene on a Fair phone?

True, DoH and this will be useless

Have they heard of VPNs or no?

Nobody is hacking your computer LMAO. It just lets them establish a connection to your computer to leech the file(s), nothing more

I do not see why everyone wants to deny this and trust big tech. After you lot completely brainwashed?? Assume the worst, that malicious applications are recording both your microphone and your camera, and do the best you can. Anyone even taking Meta's/Google's side here is absurd to me.

Imagine if Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Cox banded together for a showdown against the studios accusing them of liability? AT&T runs an NSA stronghold in Manhattan, they're not going to let their darlings go down in a teeny lawsuit like this. I really want to see this happening. Let them fight.

What else is everyone using to get music? Other than Soulseek.

I'm out of ideas on who else needs to sue nhentai

[-] liveinthisworld@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

Wtf, now they're really starting to hit where it hurts.

Remember that e-hentai works over torrents

Why would the Japanese sue nhentai in a US court though?

Moving torrents to TOR is the worst idea I've heard in this thread

It likely will stop official OTA updates to your device.

I do not recommend anything other than the newer Magisk methods, and if your device kernel is over 5.10, KernelSU.

The idea is simple; you need to patch the userland for Magisk, and the kernel for KernelSU. Device specific instructions are small nuances - did you get your bootloader unlocked?

Hi everybody,

I've been unable to make sense or gain better understanding of the Android update system, so I'm asking here.

Coming from the linux desktop, there's two main parts of the system: the kernel and the userland. I could simply update the kernel without updating userland and vice-versa.

But does it work the same way on Android? Why are we so dependent on OTA updates from the individual manufacturer? I understand that microcode is proprietary and can come only from the device manufacturer, but aren't kernel updates and userland decoupled from this (for devices which support project treble and GKI)? Can't I just run a different FOSS launcher, get the upstream GKI kernel and run it with the microcode offered by the manufacturer?

What consists of an Android "version"? Can't I just not update the microcode beyond what the manufacturer provides, and instead keep updating the kernel (by "kernel" I mean GKI and not the actual linux kernel) and userland and in essence keep updating my android version?

I'm probably missing some fundamental understanding of android here, which is why decided to ask here. Thanks for your help!

By now, most people in the custom ROM community must have already heard of KernelSU. I do think that it is worth the hype and is truly revolutionary, piggybacking on something I credit Google on (to some personal chagrin) - KMI.

The question I have is: when I attempt to install OTA updates to a device with KernelSU running as a Kernel module, will that affect KernelSU? Will I have to root again?
