Bypass Paywalls extension for Firefox.
Works better and for more sites in my experience.

There's no need, but if you really want to, you can do it through Tailscale - Provision TLS certificates for your internal Tailscale services

I understand the feeling.
But when someone buys music from you and then puts it in house parties for tens of other people, those people are also listening to your music without paying.

And a lot of people these days will never pay for a specific artist's music.
They'll use a streaming service like Spotify, which barely pays anything to small artists (especially when free users listen to the music, and not premium users).
But I can use Spotify for free, listen to small artists' music, share it with other people, and it will be considered legal and "ok".

And personally, whatever I pirate, I wouldn't have bought in the first place without being able to try it. So it isn't a lost sale.

Another option: Pine64's board

Just want to add that at the moment AV1 is only beneficial for encoding to lower bitrate videos.
It's still better to use x265 for high bitrate.

Intel is an American company.

If you're bothered by Israeli involvement you should avoid all the companies in that list, including AMD, as they are all invested in Israel and have Israeli teams.
Even large Chinese tech companies like Xiaomi, which has an R&D center in Israel, are invested in Israel.

Personally I use Newmaxx's site and spreadsheet which has more indepth information about the SSDs like their controllers and NAND type - https://borecraft.com/
You can also check their subreddit for some reviews and such.
That and some stats from Backblaze and general reviews.
And I use price trackers to make sure I'm getting a good price.

I don't like going by specific brands, because they all have some less ideal models and some of them tend to change some of the components after a while.

Tiktok is owned by ByteDance, which is headquartered in China and was founded by Chinese.
Intel is headquartered in the USA and was founded by Americans.

Intel is investing in Israel for the same reason other companies like Nvidia do (who just acquired another Israeli startup last month and has 7 R&D centers in Israel). Innovation and talent.

Just be aware that for a period of time the MX 500 had many reports of high failure rate. Not sure if it was due to a change of components or firmware.
Example post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/whr5ek/crucial_mx500_historically_good_recent_batches/
An article (In Portuguese).
And another post about it.

Google is also giving support for its Pixel devices since the Pixel 8 line.
And their Pixel 8a is also going to get 7 years of support, which is neat.

Hopefully others follow.

Just be aware that while xmanager itself is open source, the patched spotify apks it downloads and installs can be filled with obfuscated malware and you have no way of knowing.
The patches aren't open source.

Well I use Fennec for Android from F-Droid, which has the option of using custom collections for addons.
I don't think it's possible yet on "normal" Firefox other than Nightly.

Transcend ssd220s (4tb SATA) can be found for really nice prices.
Even had a thread about this one on Lemmy cuz I wasn't sure how good it is (it's great).

Nvidia is also currently building their most powerful supercomputer in Israel. And the CEO has also mentioned the Israeli startup Mellanox (which they acquired for 7 billion USD) as an important part of Nvidia's success.
He also said “Israel is home to world-leading AI researchers and developers creating applications for the next wave of AI,” as recently as the end of last year.
Considering that, their startup accelerator program with over 300 Israeli startups, and their 7 R&D centers in Israel (Intel has 4 facilities), I'd say that by your logic Nvidia is much more "pro-Israel" than Intel. And it's number 1 in the OP's article's list.

Don't see any Israelis in the board members or owners. Them and the founders all seem to be American. I did see Bangladeshi-born and Malaysian-born Americans on the board.

You're doing semantics with yourself.
I wrote that ByteDance is headquartered in China and was founded by Chinese. Nowhere did I write "owned by China".

I can also buy a CD and if I live with family members / roomates, share it and let them play it whenever they want without them paying for it.
Or let people copy it.

I might have misunderstood you, but data transferred inside the tailnet will always be encrypted by Tailscale.
So if you're connected to a public wifi and someone's looking at your traffic, accessing a random http site would be clear text, but accessing an http site inside your tailnet will be encrypted.

Unless you define an exit node and tell Tailscale to use it. And then all your traffic will be encrypted from the view of the one looking at your traffic logs from the public wifi (and clear text from the exit node to the random http site).

Ah I forgot it depends on the country.
In Canada for example, it's legal to copy a borrowed CD.

Nassrallah said several times that they've begun doing this in support of Hamas.

And the recent attack by Israel is a response to Hizballah's attack on Safed.

Is Lebanon Syria?

3 more...

Before the current state of Israel, certainly.
And the whole area was Greater Syria for a while too.

Not sure how this is relevant though.

You wrote that Hizballah attacked in response to Israel occupying south Lebanon, which it isn't.
Either way Nasrallah already said the attacks were in support of Hamas.

The recent escalation is due to Israel's heavy handed response to Hamas, but this is not a new issue.

That's not what you initially wrote.

Which in turn was in response to...going back to the illegal occupation of South Lebanon by Israel.

Which is what I clarified in the first place.

And Hizballah attacked a day after Hamas did. On the 8th of October. That's before Israel's response.

Syria, the UN and the USA all agree that Shebaa farms were Syrian territory in 1967.
Israel was not required to withdraw from the area according to the UN Security Council resolutions.

Tailscale funnel lets you expose services to the internet without opening any ports.

There's also the option of inviting your friends to your Tailscale network and limiting them to specific services. But they'll have to install it on their devices.

Just chiming in about Tailscale.
The initial connection uses their server just to reach / connect to the other peer. After that, the peers are connected directly and all communication is direct.

Was Syrian in '67 in the six day war.
And Assad still declares it as Syrian territory.
