!usenettalk@lemmy.sdf.org if you want to stay within Lemmy.

dbzer0 has its own usenet community too !usenet@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Yup there’s at least a few projects that can do in browser file transfer using WebRTC e.g.

https://sendfiles.dev/

https://sharedrop.io/

https://github.com/kern/filepizza

And of course https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole (they used to have a website too but maybe that went away?)

The service seems kind of generic, maybe even worse than the other generic VPN services. No statements about what they log, whether they allow p2p, no mention of port forwarding, servers in only 5 countries which you may/may not want to VPN through, etc.

Not sure about the software, I guess they think it will be an improvement over OpenVPN/WireGuard which is debatable.

Is that one definitely scraping bittorrent DHT? From what I can tell it looks like it used for scraping IPFS DHT via HTTP. Been a bit since I tinkered with IPFS but I do know services exist to scrape the IPFS DHT, this might be one of the backend tools being used for that.

Not sure that is one of their official domains? https://solidtorrents.eu and https://solidtorrents.to seem to be up at the moment - but you’re right their uptime has been spotty.

As an alternative you could always check if https://bitsearch.to is up, that site is run by the same admin and shares the same torrent database AFAIK.

I don’t know if the site admin is around on Lemmy, they are (or used to be) on Reddit.

Looks like the block list itself is maintained here

This was my first thought too. Interestingly that death occurred October 2023, while this particular fired employee is accused of accessing Disney’s menu systems around June-September 2024.

Almost like this ex-employee saw the news earlier and was then inspired to try to murder someone with bad allergen info.

Best not to overthink it - The sales clerk is trained to ask for this stuff.

Luckily most times I encounter this I just tell them no I don’t have a phone number with them & continue checkout like normal. Sometimes that means not getting a sale price on something but usually I avoid those type of member-specific sales anyway.

And worst case - Just make something up. At Best Buy a sales rep absolutely refused to sell me something from the mobile dept without my info. Which didn’t make sense because earlier I had bought something at that same Best Buy with a different rep & that rep took my order without my info no problem (she said she had to enter a phone number but just entered Best Buy’s).

Yet this particular sales rep refused to proceed without info, so yeah he got an entire fictional name/address/phone/email on the spot.

I believe because any site that has an extension with more than four characters is detected as invalid.

Usually it’s just badly coded apps/websites that only whitelisted some of the main domains e.g. most vanity domains don’t make it through. Or sometimes there are apps/websites that purposely block your domain if the admins think it’s too spammy or whatever.

If your current email provider allows you to use their own domains as an alias that’s one way to sidestep the issue e.g. you’d end up with [something]@[youremailprovider].com --> [name]@[name].rocks

I have Fastmail & they have a ton of their own internal domains so that’s one way I sidestep that issue. It’s pretty common among most/all email providers when you bring your own domain e.g. pretty sure Proton can do the same thing. Once you have your own domain you can make up any [alias]@[yourdomain] you like or just use the provider’s as a front facing alias [alias]@[youremailprovider] --> [anything]@[yourdomain].

Not overly active but you could sub/participate in

!opensignups@lemmy.ml

!opensignups@noworriesto.day

Also !torrent_trackers@lemmy.ml (it’s more of a tracker listing community)

And right here in dbzer0 there’s !trackers@lemmy.dbzer0.com for general discussion as well.

EDIT: For specific sites / non-Lemmy you can monitor https://opentrackers.org, I kind of wonder if the admin ever made it over to Lemmy. On Reddit he goes by cuddlebunny and an earlier nick IIRC (but that’s all ancient info now probably).

auto adding public default trackers to any public torrent

qB already has that, see Tools / Options / BitTorrent / “Automatically add these trackers to new downloads”

I don’t use that feature but it seems to be there.
